"I sometimes think there is nothing so delightful as drawing."
- Vincent Van Gogh
Henry Hate drawings combine precise figurative skill with expressive line, offering collector works and bespoke portrait commissions rooted in contemporary fine art.

Sir Daren 2020
A portrait emphasising authority through stance and restraint symbolism. The figure occupies a composed, almost heraldic posture, situating BDSM power exchange within classical portrait conventions. This is a portrait of Friend and tattoo client Daren.

"On a morning from a Bogart movie
In a country where they turn back time
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre
Contemplating a crime
She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running
Like a watercolour in the rain
Don't bother asking for explanations
She'll just tell you that she came
In the year of the cat." Year Of The Cat- Al Stewart

Poseidon in Progress

Poseidon 2017
Henry Hate’s Poseidon (2017) reimagines classical male form through queer iconography, blending Tom of Finland authority with Joel Peter Witkin-like mythic intensity.

Hound Doh In Progress

Hound Dog 2020
An exploration of animality and submission imagery, merging canine metaphor with masculine vulnerability. The drawing reflects the emergence of dominance/submission themes within Hate’s practice during the late 1990s.
Graphite, Charcoal, Ink
"Oh, I said the damndest things
Last night when I was runnin' games
I said "Baby, can I cut your cake?"
Oh, can I have it my own way
Don't I deserve a break today?
Them burns, I like the way you bake" Doe Fries Go with That Shake - George Clinton

Early work

Early drwaing for Tattoo business card 1998

Early Drawing

Bill Goldberg 1998
Referencing hypermasculine wrestling iconography, the drawing interrogates cultural constructions of strength and dominance. By repositioning the figure within erotic context, Hate reveals latent homoerotic codes embedded in athletic spectacle.

Oral Extension 1998
A study of intimacy mediated through fetish apparatus, exploring the boundary between body and object. The work treats extension not as obscuration but amplification of sensation and identity, situating BDSM practice within relational embodiment.
Pen and Ink on Vellum

Early Work 1999
These drawings mark the consolidation of Hate’s tattoo-derived line language and his first sustained engagement with leather and BDSM imagery. They establish visual motifs — harness, restraint, devotional framing — that continue throughout later practice.
