This year the Delftboys prize of geniality in homo erotic art goes to a guy who as no other has raised the standard of classic modeldrawing,
the skill that lays the basis for all erotic art, to new heights:
As no other he is able to get you carried away by the beauty of the body and all its detail with a few simple lines.

His work is online and available through adonis art in London, and at a small sample gallery in the masterclass here.

Previous winners were Willem Kok, for inspiring me to start the entire queer art project and dying, just after he turned me into a total pervert, back in april 1999. Harry Bush in 2000, who posthumously got declared the most inspiring gay artist of the 20th century (sorry TOF). Pim Fortuyn, a lifestyle artist, who I'll always remember as a highly prolific ass eater, tried to prove NL is a tolerant country by getting himself elected Prime Minister, but then, almost there, sadly, got assasinated on may 6th 2002. Tom Jones in 2003, for bringing porn back to paint on canvas and pushing me on with the concept of a homo porn shrine online. Bernard, who thought he could find refuge from South African intolerance in Amsterdam and indeed got asylum from Pim's minister of immigration, only to find the Dutch gays were not a bit more tolerant than the Africans and condemned his great work as child porn. Roscoe in januari 2004 for starting a revolution in airbrush and digital techniques, not shying away from fierce attacks on Roman Catholic hypocricy. Axel in march 2005 for showing that if nobody will promote your art, you can always set up a magazine and do it yourself and restart the queer revolution while you're at it. And finally Sean Platter , last year, for his demonic art that lifted the status for erotic perversion another step up the ladder of true subversive geniality

Also in 2006 we've given this prize a name and set the awards at the date that coincides with the oscars and follows the Valentine's splash page. We hope to have found a spot where this award will gain momentum on its own power.
If you have suggestions on who should win in 2008, do let me know, pleez?

Not only pencil and charcoal artists like Cayford or vintage stuff, like Willem Kok and Harry Bush,
also latest Tom Jones, Falco, Roscoe, Sean Platter, Axel, Hun, Bastille, Martin, Ted, Ajay, Kirwan
and other hard to swallow stuff in splendid resolution inside
and remember: we not only dig up old treasures; new talents get noticed here first too.

Intelligent observers may have noticed our Golden God has borrowed his face from the Mozes, as carved out by the Greatest queer artist of all time: Michelangelo. That is not without a reason: Funny thing is Moses was the one who came down mount Sinai with his ten commandments, that have since been observed by Jews, Muslims, Protestants and Catholics alike, only the catholics took out most of commandment nr 2: "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them."
Being raised catholic, and unable to survive without imagery of the greatest creation on the face ot the earth, and not planning to bow down to anybody without a delicious juicy cock or asshole, I tend to adhere to the catholic version. Besides, as homosexual perverts, in the opinion of all other believers, our mere existence is an insult to the intentions of the worlds creation and we are doomed anyway. So we shall continue to depict the beauty of the gods, angels, devils and human mortals alike. Even worse: I will bow down and drop to my knees to honour and service the glorious cocks and sphincters our gods have been bestowed with.
The warning preceding the opening of this page is there to prevent easily offended and short fused fanatics to proceed. It makes it impossible to accuse us of willingly insulting anybody.

Also,
the entire page has been modelled after the design of the award image, which was made some years ago. One may find these subtle drawings dont fit easily in a neoclassic frame, but it does make you question why some art forms are chosen to hang in the most prestieous national musea, while others never even make a gallery and are restricted to anonymous viewing downstairs in adult bookshops.
Besides,
I find placing them in neoclassicc frames is a form of pornography or blasfemy in itself.
