“I want to share with others what bewitches me so that they feel love for their neighbor and for life. As I felt when I was a kid when all these impressions invaded me. I want bring joy and inspire guys to kiss someone and do something out of the ordinary When I see one of these gorgeous individuals on Facebook, Instagram, Tumbler and also on TV, I think to myself : God has outdone himself with this guy. There was a time, when we gays were ostracized from society, where we had to defend ourselves as much as define ourselves. We sought affection, love and sexuality in a way that the world wouldn’t admit, just because it rejected us. We couldn’t trust it because it was only looking for one thing: to kick us out. All of this led us to create alternative ways of being. and to think. Our art has moved boundaries. [Think of Leonardo da Vinci and Marcel Proust…] We undertook many struggles to take our place in a society that wanted to imprison us. Now, are we really integrated?” – Saul Lyons

Seb, I think your posts on art, film, literature, and documentary are some of the (many) outstanding features of this site. Judging from the low number of responses you tend to get for them, they are not the most popular! I understand that. But I hope you will continue to explore the intersections between everyday male sexuality and these and other expressive forms. They are part of our male culture, they express who we are and want to be. As men, we need to see them, think about them, debate them, and cherish them.
PS And it’s crucial we keep on queering mainstream str8 culture to reveal everything that is Queer about it! Please don’t tell me John Donne didn’t get fucked by a living God!
The men are of course beautiful. The drawings of men embracing one another are exquisite.
Awesome art-so sexy and so erotic are Sauls guys! You can feel them,taste them-really a treat!
Thank you very much,Saul!
Hi Saul, your art work is amazing! I used to be the model for life drawing class in my local area back in the late 90s. It was on my bucket list! I got chance to do the Thinker pose but I’ve always wanted to do Rodin’s The Kiss pose but with another man which is still on my list to be completed.
I would love to pose for you but not sure where you are, i’m based in the North West area of the UK.
I wish you lots of success with your artwork, celebrating the male form in all it’s glory.
