Created many years ago
[early 1990s],
this succulent and sweet image
shows
a dedicated guy sucking his way to a special treat for the Christmas
holidays.
According to Michael,
this illustration is
"My first attempt at creating a 'holiday' image that meshed
queer activity to some symbolic seasonal token. It's rough, I was
unsure of my capabilities with markers (of which I had too few at
the time) but I think it's a successful depiction. The idea of
sucking on the dangling candy pole, knowing that as the striped
confection dissolves you get closer and closer to the real object of
desire. The concept relates to the waiting and anticipation that
leads up to Christmas day."
