I'm Kenney Mencher. I'm an artist who left a tenured professorship in 2016 to pursue making art full time. This blog is about art, art history, with a emphasis on human rights. I make homoerotic art featuring bears, otters & other gay wildlife.
Sunday
New Bookcover painting in the planning stages.
I'm working on another bookcover. It's called distortion and the main character is a Conan type of character. He even looks like a modern Conan. Here's one of the sketches. The other two are on my blog.

New Book Cover
I just finished a commision for a bookcover. It's called "21 Tales by a Modern Master of Noir" Dave Zeltserman
Thursday
Sunday
My comic book. Another page.
I am very interested in what Will Eisner called "sequential art" and I've been doing extensive studies of the genre by reading Scott McCloud's books on the subject as well as reading graphic novels such as "Blankets" by by Craig Thompson.
I guess I'm starting to give in to my belief that illustration art is actually in some ways a higher art than so called "fine art." I think at times, I kept away from doing illustration because I was a fraid I didn't have enough skill. Now I've even done a couple of book covers!
The last couple of pages on my blog are studies and some finished works for a graphic novel/comic book that I am working on with author/screenwriter Paul Foley. These images are not in the correct order.
Come by my website
http://www.kenney-mencher.com/
to see my latest stuff. I'm also working on some tutorials for my students in life drawing classes. Let me know if you want a direct link to the PDF.
