| Gay & Lesbian Art: Michael Breyette
Michael Breyette grew up in rural upstate NY - not the most
nurturing environment for a budding gay artist - and due to his
conservative surroundings, he always felt the need to include
female subjects in his artwork.
"I felt as long as my paintings featured a busty female, it was
safe to include a muscular Adonis," Breyette says. "Sometimes I
would disguise the hot guys in my paintings. I did whatever I could to express myself, even
if I did have to use the females in my art as a kind of security
blanket. But even those women that I felt compelled to draw
always ended up being rather muscular and manly looking."
