New York City
NYC: March 5 session in Brooklyn Heights (60 photos by Shungaboy)
Member comment: “I felt very inspired during this session. It is exciting and humbling at the same time to be able to be creative in the company of such talented and nice artists.”
NYC: March 7 session on the Upper East Side (48 photos by Ben)
Member comment: “Thank you to all the men who showed up last night as well. You were all very welcoming and encouraging. I truly felt like I had known everyone there for years in a matter of minutes! Can't wait for the next one.”
NYC: March 12 session in SoHo (104 photos by Shungaboy)
Member comment: “OMG, I enjoyed how genuine and approachable everyone was. I haven’t been nude in a group setting since I was in my early twenties, at the beach, but I was not as panicked or nervous as I thought I would be. This was my first time in this type of environment, but I really enjoy getting back into figure drawing and art in general. It has been at least fifteen years since I created figure drawing pieces. I’m slowly practicing and trying to shake the “rust” away. I’m also trying to step out of my comfort zone in terms of my physical self-confidence. For the past two years I’ve been grieving the loss of my husband to cancer and I had lost interest in most things, including physical activity and social interactions. I am grateful to find the courage within me to start living again. Thank you everyone!”
Member comment: “My first time and totally positive on all counts. So well organized, the friendliest group of men all welcoming and engaging. Pace and poses of models all great and interesting as I have ever encountered. I will definitely be joining this group again on a regular basis, and look forward to it.”
NYC: March 16 session in Jersey City (23 photos by John)
As small, but delightful session.
NYC: March 19 session in the East Village (80 photos by Chuck)
Member comment: “What a great group and a positive experience. My second time but already feel so comfortable. Looking forward to making this a regular activity.”
Member comment: “My second time attending and I must attend more often! So much positive, supportive, and friendly energy.”
Member comment: “What a great group of guys. I made two (2!) drawings that I actually like and I am so tough on myself... Was inspired by the art produced and the way in which each artist has his own way to work. The poses were earnest, sexy, and made for lots of good energy - and art.”
NYC: March 21 session on the Upper East Side (45 photos by Ben)
Member comment: “Can't wait for the next opportunity to draw everyone!”
NYC: March 23 session in the East Village (51 photos by Chuck)
Member comment: “I enjoyed my first session a lot. I was totally new and several members came forward and initiated conversation with me. Which was very helpful considering how nervous I was.”
NYC: March 26 session in SoHo (87 photos by Shungaboy)
Member comment: “Thank you for a great first event! And everyone else I met for the warm welcome! Can't wait to see everyone again next time I go!”

Phoenix
PHX: March 16 session at Totem Yoga (55 photos by Shungaboy)
Member comment: “I loved the laid back and comfortable environment. Friendly people as well!”
Member comment: “I felt immediately welcome and surprisingly comfortable the entire time there, which for a body shy first timer like me was very important and rewarding. Two days later and I am still feeling like I've achieved a new level of spiritual growth.”
PHX: March 19 session near Central & Camelback (43 photos by Shungaboy)
Member comment: “I liked that there was structure, considerations and rules for people's comfort level.”
Member comment: “I liked that photos were taken of all the work, because I would like to be able to see what everyone drew of each person. The environment of a private home was lovely.”
