A Trip Back to Wengen Switzerland
Many years ago I went on a trip to Europe that started in Italy and ended in the UK. That was an amazing trip, but one part of that trip stuck out to me the most… my time in Wengen, Switzerland.

My room was massive and I shared it with two other guys. It was like an apartment with three bedrooms.
I Just Hit a Milestone and Here Are My New Projects
I just hit an important artistic milestone and I’m so happy to share that with you and tell you a bit about what my next goals are. I’ve been drawing since I was six years old.

Body Slam: Adventures in the Cocktagon
Amidst a gritty backdrop of mixed martial arts, “Body Slam” has terrific photography, effective music, skilled camerawork and, best of all, a quartet of great-looking gals who know who to display their exhibitionistic talents to the max; and, even though there might be only three scenes here, this Adam & Eve feature has more than enough steam to keep you busy, including two threesomes (one girl-girl-boy and one boy-boy girl) that are definite scorchers.
