  "You probably stumbled across Steve's photostream and get sucked into it, but outstanding pieces of art are not the only thing you will notice about Steve. He is warm-hearted, kind and sincere.
  He will make you smile from the bottom of your heart -- that's what happened to me.
  Steve is an awesome person, a great artist and an amazing photographer.
  I am so glad he is my friend. ; )"

  James Hanlon says:

  ""xxxmarine" was one of my first contacts here on Flickr. I was fascinated by his vibrant paintings of birds in flight, crashing waves, and serene goldfish! Over time, I have had the privilege of learning about composition and the use of color from his intriguing and creative works of art. When I first met Stephano, he didn't make many comments - but over the past year he has opened up - allowing us to enjoy and marvel at his tales of life experiences - the "school of hard knocks" as he referred to it in an article about his work and influences.
  You Sir are a very special person - and I am honored and pleased to know that you call me a friend."

  "I first saw Steve's work here on flickr some time last year. I remember commenting to him that I was drawn to his work. His paintings/drawings were stuck to me. I can't fully explain it, but I kept going back to see them over and over again. There are some pieces now seared in my brain. I can close my eyes and see them. I'm no art critic, but I can say, I truly enjoy seeing his creations and in my humble opinion, I believe he is gifted. To you Steve, I wish fulfillment and joy and I thank you for sharing not just your art, but also the intimate images of your journey. Thank you."

  "Who knew that doing a search on USMC would pop up such a fine artist. I only recently discovered him but I already have several of his pieces marked as "favorites" of mine. Bravo to you xxxMarine and keep on doing what you do best. From one Steve to another I congratulate you."

  "i have seen many cases where the quality of "good art" is judged on technical skill alone- xxxmarine's work is more than that.
  every line, choice of color, and presentation of subject is very much infused with a strong sense of personal vision and character. the result is pieces that are striking, evocative, and rich- and from my correspondence with him have found that like his work, the man behind it is beyond just "good.""

  Queer on Paper says:

  "Most artists just paint, draw, sculpt, or click a shutter. xxxmarine takes a mind boggling variation of material, combines them with queer erotica,and strains then through his consciousness. The results of his labor are personal, sexy, provocative, thoughtful pieces that give the viewer an eyeful of the men loving men. His progression in the time I have known him is astonishing and I am convinced he will have little pieces of himself scattered throughout the world very soon. His work is a reminder why queer people are the most creative, talented, and wonderful part of the world."
