Great art

Look at handsome Frank and his studly husband Patrick. Look quick because I'm almost positive Frank is going to email me and be all, "Take that pic down! I look too happy!" or something.



These guys were in town recently because Patrick's career is kaboom! Taking off! And is anyone as talented and deserving as this guy? Not that I know of.



His work is insane. You just have to go see it. Viewing the images online are one thing, but when you see them in person and realize they're drawn with a pencil, no tricks, just patience and skill, every little pore, you better have something to catch your jaw, which will go clattering to the floor, I promise.



You have about a week or so left to catch the show. It's on 22nd street between 10th and 11th avenues.

You'll have to bear the sight of the closed-for-good Empire Diner on 22nd and 10th, which shut its doors this past Sunday, another reliable, old relic fated to become a real estate office or hair salon or turn into a tall, skinny tower of luxury housing. But you just march past that sad sight and go see some great art. It'll make you feel better, I promise.
