Drawn To You: Nolan Hendrickson

Remember the days of dial-up connections and waiting five minutes (slight exaggeration) for a single porn image to appear on your screen? Yeah, me too! Back then, whenever I got bored of browsing random thumbnail galleries for dick pics, I opened up Microsoft Paint and started drawing my own fantasy man. Every now and then, I’d print him out, cum on his two-dimensional body and then proceed to flush him down the toilet. Kind of like my current sex life…

Kidding, kidding! In any case, New York artist Nolan Hendrickson‘s “Feeling Appealing” series reminds me of those days. At least in the aesthetic sense. Despite my general level of weirdness, I wasn’t drawing hairy dudes with nipple clamps popping out of cappuccino mugs.

While some of you are going to make snap judgments that this isn’t necessarily “art”, we encourage you to check out Nolan’s official paintings before making that conclusion. They actually look quite lovely when installed in a gallery space. We wish we could see them in person!

  1. I seem to recall Colby Keller writing a blog post a couple of weeks ago featuring some of this guy’s work.
