Fan Art: Iconic Red Heads
So, I do have soft spot for red heads. Perhaps there are other guys that share the same feelings.
One of my favorite bloggers, Calvin's Canadian Cave of Cool, re-blogged a fan art by German designer and illustrator RaidesArt of iconic red heads.

Arkhip Kuindzhi
Art Appreciation
Born in present day Ukraine, January 27, 1841, Arkhip Kuindzhi was considered one of the most talented Russian landscape artist of his time.
Kuindzhi grew up poor and lost his parents at a very young age. In 1855, he became the student of Russian romantic painter Ivan Aivazovsky.
It is said that Kuindzhi's work is heavily influenced by Aivazovsky's style, especially when it comes to sunsets, storms, and surging oceans. Kuindzhi is known for depicting the illusion of illumination in his paintings.
In his 20s, Kuindzhi studied painting at the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts, then joined an artists' cooperative which eventually became the Society for Traveling Art Exhibitions. He would return to teach at the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts in his later years, but then fired for supporting students' protests.

Govert Flinck

Dutch painter Govert Flinck was born on January 25, 1615. A pupil of Rembrandt, Flinck's work followed the style of his teacher; Rembrandtesque.
A Baroque painter of portraits, genre, and narrative subjects, Flinck is recognized as a history painter. His popularity among aristocrats led to many commissions for official and diplomatic paintings.

My Choices for AVN Awards
Tonight is the AVN Awards, and because of the ongoing pandemic, the event will be streaming live.
Like previous years, I like to predict fans choices. There are sixteen categories from Favorite Female Porn Star to Favorite Domme. I'll be honest, it's time consuming going through each one, watch their performance, and decide whether they are better than another.
This year I decided to put aside the bracket system I typically use, and select those I do watch.
But I did use the bracket system in choosing who I think should win the coveted AVN AWARDS for Best Male Newcomer, Best New Scarlett, Best Trans Newcomer, and Best New International Scarlett.
Check them out. Oh... and don't forget to watch the AVN tonight at 8 PM (PST) HERE.
