Hunky Painter Cody Gene Gives New Meaning to the Term 'Art Buff'

Cody Gene may be a country boy from Kansas, but his artwork is celebrated worldwide. The good news is that even if you aren't an aesthete or someone with a refined appreciation of art, you can still appreciate his body. He often uses it in self-portraits for his "Hero" series.

Cody's uses oil on canvas. Lucky for us he often works shirtless, and we can't decide which is more beautiful, his portraits or his physique. With abs more defined than a Michaelangelo sculpture, and arms resembling carved marble, Cody is making us appreciate the arts. We're inspired to take up finger painting and use masterstrokes on his chest. But that, pardon the pun, might lead to mural misconduct.
