I call this drawing “Beefy Guy”

Did this one last night. Thinking about what Roberto said at the WeHo Erotic Arts Fair on Sunday about the life models being used were all cut, muscular and hairless. They probably had big dicks too, tho one  couldn’t tell during the sits. I’ll have to work on that one… Interestingly, issue 3 of Steve MacIsaac’s “Shirtlifter” magazine has a short comix story with 2 bearish guys with small dicks making love. It’s pretty hot, actually. http://www.stevemacisaac.com/

Today I’m presenting 2 pieces I like by other artists. The first is by Tony Salmons, a friend of mine who recently returned to the public eye with his artwork for the 4 issue mini series “The Strange Adventures of H.P. Lovecraft”, published last summer by Image Comics. He did this sketch for me a couple of years back. It’s of a Thark one of the characters from “John Carter of Mars”.

The second drawing is by Domino, my favorite gay erotic artist. This drawing appeared in “Mandate” in 1983, I believe. (I’m not sure; I no longer have that magazine.) The issue the drawing appeared in was the first gay skin mag I ever bought as a closeted young gay man. I bought that issue because of that drawing (not because of any of the photos, which were, as I recall, all of young hairless twinks). I used to buy any gay mag with one of his illustrations in them. Unfortunately, he dropped out of sight in 1985 or 86. He resurfaced again in the late 80’s/early 90’s with a classified ad in the gay press, selling 2 print sets of the best of his drawings. I contacted him, purchased the 2 sets, corresponded with him briefly. Sadly, he died of AIDS soon after.

Recently, I saw the original to this drawing. It resides in the Tom of Finland Foundation Headquarters, in Echo Park, a council district of Los Angeles, California, USA. It hangs, beautifully framed,  in the bedroom of Durk Dehner, head of the foundation. I viewed it during a recent open house. I asked him he was selling it for. I got the impression that it was out of my price range.

I attended the Tom of Finland Erotic Arts Fair in West Hollywood Park on Sunday. I went to see some friends and to do life drawings. There were 3 models in the 2 hours I sketched. They were all muscular, but not overly so, and all totally hairless. I found this somewhat annoying; I like body hair. Also, the total lack of body fat on any of the three was… what? alienating? A friend of mine griped about it: “Why don’t they use normal looking guys occasionally?” Looksism, I guess.

Sorry for the long absence, but I haven’t been doing much erotic work lately. I’m posting my latest sketches.
