self portrait of Phil Goodrich

p3250124.jpgp3250124.jpg

This is my self portrait; an oil sketch on paper.  I gave it as a gift to my girlfriend, “sexy guest blogger”… It is  shortly after checking the waves at the end of my street, Ostend Court, Mission Beach, California.  I haven’t done a self portrait in about 8 years.  The last 3 times I tried, the paintings always sold to gay men.  Strange phenomenon, don’tcha think? 

I usually tag my posts with the words, sex, erotic, lesbian, etc.  It seems to draw people to the post, but noone ever comments, and I think they must be dissappointed when there are no underage, naked, porn shots on my site.  Does anyone have suggestions of tags to include that might attract serious art buyers?  any comments at all?  I even like negative comments……

  2. Hey Phil,

    I remember you from Mission Beach so I know pretty much the court you painted yourself on.

    Good to see all your artwork. Great work!

    And of course can’t forget the style you have in the surf.

  3. Hey I really identify with your work. It reminds me of an artist who VERY much inspires me: Alice Neel. Love the Haitian girls. I too am an artist, am on facebook. And theres some stuff online if you search. Good luck and thanks for sharing!
