Stellar began taking pictures of tattoed men, approaching them (not only gay men) and easily getting them to take their pants off for a picture. “I got birds too” remains an iconic image of the emerging gay eroto-aesthetic of the ‘70s. This image was one of the first to be mass-produced on postcards. His professional career includes innumerable book designs, editorial design and art direction for numerous magazines and publishing houses. 
 








His work has shown in many galleries throughout the U.S. and Europe, magazines and books.
