"Outlaws in Love"

"Lock Jaws"

This series is deeply rooted in the untamed Wild West, where the journey of DICKSCOVERIES first begins. Set against the rugged backdrop of Cheyenne, Wyoming, it travels westward through the ghost towns of Nevada and the glittering lights of Las Vegas, finally arriving at the safe shores of Southern California. This journey symbolizes the path queer individuals often tread in search of freedom—a journey the artist himself has traversed both physically and metaphorically countless times in his life.

This extensive body of work comprises over 60 pieces meticulously crafted digitally with a heavy flow mercury ink pen on imitation newsprint wood pulp, resulting in a distinctive vintage and scratchy aesthetic.

The narrative delves into the lives of Wyoming’s gay cowboys, drawing inspiration from classic gay western films while reimagining them within a contemporary framework of queer domesticity. It boldly reveals the hidden emotions and relationships among cowboys who are frequently secretly fond of each other.

Beyond its artistic exploration, the series serves as a poignant critique of homophobic conservative legislation that threatens the lives and freedoms of queer cowboys, cowgirls, and those living fluidly in between. Created from November 2023 to June 2024, the artwork was unveiled in three distinct parts, each unveiling new dimensions of thematic depth and artistic expression.

“Outlaws in Love” has received widespread acclaim, prominently featured at numerous events and festivals. It was showcased as a highlighted artist by the Arts Council of Long Beach during 2024 Long Beach Pride and headlined Precinct Nightclub’s popular monthly country night, “Hogtied”. Additionally, the series has been exhibited at various erotic fairs in collaboration with Dandyland NYC and prominently as a featured artist in Volume 18 of Jeremy Lucido’s provocative “Starfuckker” Magazine.

“Outlaws in Love” is an ongoing journey that continues to evolve. Over the next decade, the artist promises to add more color to the story through exciting collaborations, including a partnership with gay country singer Paisley Fields, the first erotic art collaboration with Sweden-based sticker company StickerApp, and a new collaboration with the humorous card game “Dicktective”.

There’s nothing like a summer vacation at the beach, even if the fear of what lurks beneath the ocean’s surface lingers—thanks to the cult classic “JAWS,” whose upcoming 50th anniversary has kept us wary of the water ever since. The second chapter of DICKSCOVERIES, “Lock Jaws,” draws audiences to the alluring shores of “Outlaws Beach Club.” This daring aquatic series, inspired by Blacks Beach in San Diego and Gay Head Beach in Martha’s Vineyard, channels artist Christopher’s sultry New England summers.

As visitors explore the exhibition, they encounter visual metaphors for Christopher’s early erotic experiences and fantasizes, shadowed by the menacing great white shark—a potent symbol of fear and desire. Through his art, Christopher reveals his journey of exploring sexuality and embracing life as an openly gay man, reminds viewers to confront their fears and find beauty in the unexpected.

The collection features artwork created using various mediums, prominently watercolors made with ocean water from Blacks Beach, perfectly complementing the theme and bringing a beloved queer beach to life. With a strong focus on photography, much of the artwork has been collected over a decade of international travels.

Beyond its thematic depth, “Lock Jaws” emphasizes the importance of keeping nude beaches pristine by advocating for more formal designation and resources at clothing-optional spaces. With thousands of miles of public beaches, DICKSCOVERIES champions the creation of more places where individuals can be truly free.
