Through his youth and early adulthood in El Paso, TX, IDrawGuyz struggled to embrace his love for other men. Coming out at 25 was a life-saving act of truth and self-acceptance. Still, he spent years denying another side of himself: his desire for celebrating men’s beauty through art. At 37, Benjamin experienced a second coming out—this time as an artist. Through his self-taught work, he honors the male form with sincerity and admiration.
