Author Biography

John Waiblinger's art reflects his own relationship with male beauty, eroticism and romanticizing a Queer sensibility. He began his artistic endeavors towards the end of his 5th decade after excitedly discovering that digital tools finally provided him the means to translate the vision populating his imagination into physical form. John's work has been exhibited in galleries both in Los Angeles and elsewhere in the US and the UK. HomoEros is his first effort to incorporate his images in a larger, thematic context.
