Carlos' roots lie in Puerto Rico. He won't tell me how old he is, but I know he was born in San Juan. He was a very creative child and his teachers encouraged him to lay his ideas on paper and not with a sharp knife on the top of his desk. I hear that that lid of his desk has been framed and now hangs in the school assembly hall.
On leaving school, he received a scholarship to study art in New York and has since made quite a name for himself in the Art World there. Greenwich Village has not been the same since he left and settled in Melbourne, Australia. Carlos says that he loves drawing the men here. It is such a multi-cultural city and there are plenty of opportunities to sketch bodies on the beaches. On the other hand, his models find him very attractive and wouldn't care if he had no artistic talent at all. Just to pose naked for Carlos is a great turn-on.

There has been an enormous change in Carlos' lifestyle. This is called Billy. Carlos met Billy last year at Club Jaques on Warmoesstraat in Amsterdam when he was on holiday and Billy was visiting family. They discovered that they were near neighbours in Greenwich Village and exchanged phone numbers.
On returning to New York, their phones ran hot but they still maintained their respective apartments, although they spent most of their spare time together. Billy's family are friends of my own Dutch partner and when Billy decided to pay us a visit down under, the prospect of separation was too great for Carlos, so he was invited to follow.
Carlos and Billy both love Melbourne and are staying at my house until they have saved the deposit for a love nest of their own. Billy's cousin Bobby lives next door, so I imagine that they will all wont to stay in the same area eventually and settle in the House of Windsor.
