Steve Fox


I can't believe it's been a month since I last posted. Time flies waaaay to quickly. I've been struggling with health issues, but also trying to finish a piece to send to the Antebellum Gallery in LA for a group show.

I also finished this commission for a client who was a big fan of the late Steve Fox (aka Hunt Rommel), who was an adult film star for a few years in the first half of the 1990's, before a serious a serious struggle with mental illness took over his life. He tragically committed suicide in October 1997.

Peace to his memory.

I found your artwork serendipitously while surfing. I was astonished to find my ex-lover Rommel Hunt used as a posthumous model in a commissioned piece.
I have only some photos and a few other momentos of Rom from our time together, before his life took a tortuous and sad end.
Would it be possible for me yo purchase a print of this work?
BTW, you captured perfectly his almost androgenous beauty and guileless vulnerability.

I knew Rommel in the late 80's. We lost touch and I recently tried to look him up after someone posted a pic of he and I on facebook. I am so shocked and sorry (all these years later) to hear of his sad death. May his soul rest in peace and his family be comforted.
