Hello my dear patrons, yesterday I found this photoshoot I did some time ago (can't remember the exact date, what I know for sure is that it was in Madrid and by Woofioso, so I'm guessing 2015). I tried to order them so they tell some kind of story. The last one is out of that narrative, but it was at some point the only one selected for a photo book we were about to publish on 2016 but never did.
Fun fact: remember I shared with you 2021-03-13 17:48:01 +0000 UTC

CHAPTER 49
You have to keep in mind that those were other times —apologized Aminarti lowering his gaze, as if he were searching for the right words—, and there are facts that I will recount that you will find hard to believe from your current perspective, but believe me, knowing what I know will only lead you down another cul-de-sac.

Hello again my dear patrons, as I promised in my last post, here's an alternative cut of the "Beautiful Nothing" music video featuring Jeremy Morse and lots of friends who joined us that August day on a rented swimming pool in Guadalajara, Mexico.
This is the second cut Eduardo Lujan did (can't find the first but I'll share it with you when I do because it has some additional footage we never used), the one I used as guide to do the fin...

Hello my dear patrons, here's a little treat for you, something I've never shared before. This video short is the backdrop we used on some of my live performances of "2menkiss" and it's also cut down and featured on the music video (although not entirely). Sorry if the song cuts here and there, it's because we needed to have a synchronization reference for editing (and this proves it's the real thing haha).
Coming soon...

As the hours ticked by, Jonah wondered how he had gotten there, gawking at the umpteenth bag of potato chips.
It felt great lying on the bed in the suite, no doubt, and the hotel's room service was impeccable, but when he woke up that morning and the TV wouldn't work, he sat up in bed wondering, staring first at the remote in his hand, then at the walls, then a...

Hey my dear patrons. Here's some pics from the photoshoot we did last month for the new album and forthcoming Patreon galleries. I ordered this shirt for a new idea I have for the music video of "Shine" (since we still can't go out I've been thinking of alternatives), but it came to small (or maybe I got too big LOL). Still we took some pics with it.

Hello my dear Patrons, here's your first look at another one of the new galleries we shot last February 13th, that will be used on the promotion of my forthcoming album and on future social media posts.
The new equipment is allowing me to explore new and different themes and looks, with much higher resolution and more interesting results. Higher resolution means for example less need for skin retouch, hence the pics will look sharper and with more light (this very gallery is my fi...

Hey my dear patrons, I was organizing my photo archive (been at it since December, it's like 500Gb of pics!) and found this set of pictures from the day we shot Beautiful Nothing. I thought you'd enjoy them. Most of them were took during the last scene shot of the music video. This was about five in the afternoon on August 19th 2018. You can see it had been a long day, but it was great fun, and I totally regret not having had a single minute to check some of those guys LOL.

Raindrops crashed against the splashing waves. The storm surprised them near Antibes. A solitary candle was sulkily waving on the porthole leading to the narrow cabin.

Hello my dear patrons, we have yet another crazy day today but I didn't want to let the day go without first send you all my love on Valentine's day, and second giving you an update of things here.
As I think I mentioned before, I've spent the last two weeks finishing my new album, the one I've been working for/as Perfected for a year now, parallel to my third "official" album, due later this year.
The first plan was that it was going to be a Perfected album...

It was three o’clock in the afternoon at Cap Ferrat and it was sweltering hot. After being cooped up underground for several years, Gabriel and Sophie were surprised at how difficult it was for them to stay under the open sky for long periods of time and to endure the changes in temperature and humidity. Gabriel had been suffering from severe headaches all day and...

Aminarti was still confined to the Congregation's house. He was now quite recovered, but as he got better he began to worry about the nature of his isolation.
He would listen to nine o'clock mass every morning on the tiny radio on the bedside table, with the chaplain coming to see him several afternoons to offer confession. He was no longer on medication, but h...

Well guys, this is it, for the first time I'm showing this video as it was intended originally. Shortly before recording it Youtube started demonetizing and putting penalties on my videos. I was appalled because my initial plan was to do music videos that were honest with my inspirations and our community. My goal was not to have commercial success (been there, done that), but to offer our gay bear community content that was true to our reality. And I wanted also to try and convey in you what...
