Mike Ruiz: photographer and artist's muse

We all know how sexy photographer Mike Ruiz is. And a growing number of artists not only recognize his hotness, they have been inspired to capture his image on canvass. Robert Walker, creator of the Delete comic books, even developed a super hero based on Ruiz (above). See more renderings of the sexy shooter by other artists, after the jump.

 

Brooke Shields is rubbing up against some major hotties

What's a girl to after her TV show gets cancelled? In Brooke Shields' case, she has been spending some time rubbing up against a couple of my favorite hotties. Last summer, she played cougar with a naked Christopher Fawcett (below) and yesterday, she dressed up as Sean Young in Blade Runner for Mike Ruiz. Is Seano next on her list? What about Miguel Iglesias?

I'm a bit jealous of Brooke right now, but am way more excited for Mr. Ruiz, who has dreamed of hanging with the Latisse lady since nothing came between her and her Calvins. Still, I can't help wonder what Kathy Griffin will think about one of her favorite gays getting cozy with her former co-star.

Eye Candy: D.O. in disguise

That's right Unzippsters, the sparkling bronze beefcake you are looking at is none other than Man of the Year nominee, D.O. These amazing shots were created by hunktastic lensman, Mike Ruiz. And we wonder if Mr. Ruiz was watching Showgirls when prepping the shoot, 'cause D.O. looks a bit like a male Nomi Malone. Hey, maybe these two fellas can team up for Showboys. After all, Mr. Ruiz has already directed RuPaul in Starrbooty.

We've said it before and we'll say it again; Mike Ruiz is fuckin' hot! And the forty-something photographer seems to get hotter every day, as evidenced by this recent self-portrait. What a delight it would be to have him shoot for us.

Have a look-see at an image from Ruiz's shoot with Hot Flesh alumni Anthony Gallo, after the jump.

Eye Candy: Mad as hell

It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words.

We think that this photo by Mike Ruiz effectively sums up our anger and frustration with the California Supreme Court’s ruling on Prop. 8 today.

Eye Candy: Hot shooter

Photographer Mike Ruiz is fuckin' hot! Just look at his pic above: yumsville, right? Kathy Griffin and RuPaul fans already know this from his guest spots on their TV shows. And he always seems to be wearing a tank top, even when shooting. No wonder his subjects look so sexy—they’re probably turned on! Even the straight guys have gotta be turned on a little bit. Maybe even a lotta bit.

So why does this 6-foot-2 slice of beefcake work the camera from behind?
