The Art of Roger Payne

Roger Payne’s artwork often crosses an unspoken bridge and captures two conflicting forces which are constantly at odds with modern men living in a restrictive world: Primal instincts pitted against social, financial and gender/sexual classes.

In the fantastic worlds created by Roger, no matter his social standing, uniform that his job requires him to wear, wealth or age, men are internally heart-throbbing, sweating primal beasts looking for sexual enjoyment and fulfillment. And man’s instinctive lust and desires will usually manifest themselves when given an opportunity to do so. Or to put it another way, never underestimate the power and majesty of a rock-hard cock to level all social trappings and labels to zero.

Roger Payne’s art of men engaging in intimate pleasures has made him very famous, although most fans don’t know much about the man behind the images. It’s reported that Roger’s adult gay sketches started as a hobby in the 1970s when he was a teenager. His fantasies were sparked by the men he would see living and working all around him, and he was able to translate "everyday guys" into visions of what might happen in private, given the right opportunities. He studied at London’s St. Martin’s School of Modern Art.

For a while, Roger made a living by making historic illustrations for children’s books. Later, he was invited to work for publications like Advocate Men and Handjobs. When the Internet came into millions of homes, his works exploded everywhere. There have been at least three collections of his art, including 2007’s ROGER which have become treasured by his admirers.

“Ostara is Here”

Writes Brigit Anna McNeill . . .

Beautiful and growthful Ostara is here. A time where birds sing plants awake, where bumble bees begin to speak their low hum in response to the vibration of pollen, when greens, buttery yellows and golds begin to colour in the bare earth, where blossom and leaf bud open and the forests and hedgerows are once more blooming with medicine.

The voice of wild life force and growth is once more whispering, vibrating and singing within the trees, the nests, the little rooted ones, warm fleshy bodies, the tiny ones and the feathered.

May you too let yourself feel that life force, may it sing to you of life, of beauty, of regrowth, of dreams. And may it be to your body and soul, a beautiful wild guide.
