iHook-Up

By | commission, muscles, Original Art, Unzipped Media, xxx | 3 Comments
Here is an illustration I did for Unzipped Magazine to go with a small article on Grindr, an iPhone app that is essentially another hook-up aid for the queers.


I’m not endorsing this app here because I don’t want to give Grindr free advertising. In fact, Grindr officially wouldn’t allow this image in advertising because Apple doesn’t allow adult-content apps. It’s kind-of funny because all the official Grindr propaganda is squeaky clean– they call it the “gay friend finder.” haha. I guess what these “friends” actually do with the app is none of their concern. (omg, someone had in their profile “Friends only. Why must gay people make everything about sex?” Durr, that’s what the app is for, you douche! haha.)

It would actually be a really cool app if it wasn’t so buggy. You can chat and exchange dick-pics and maps of your specific location. And since it’s on your phone, you can do it anywhere. Well, anywhere you have service.

So I thought the best way to show how hot this app can be was to depict a hip young artsy dude on the street, tip-tapping away at his phone, “connecting” with some hot suit-and-tie stud stuck behind a desk. They have a virtual plethora of guyPhone cuties to choose from but somehow these two end up fitting just right for each other. They’re chatting about their dong sizes and who’s gonna bring the lube and how they’re gonna fuck in the storage closet…

Strike a Pose

Sooo, I am working on a number of large projects but, as usual, feel guilty about not posting. So here’s something you guys might enjoy that requires very limited work on my part.

Basically here are some of the reference materials I use. Some are pics from the internet, rough CG models from my partner, and some are photos of me! Sorry I’m censoring my face and bulge in these. As vain as I am, I am not comfortable with my face (or cock) being plastered all over the net.
I do however want my pecs to be appreciated though– haha!

Rods ‘n’ Reels

By | chubs, commission, muscles, Original Art, twinks, Unzipped Media, xxx | 4 Comments
This piece was for a Freshmen story about a gay teenage nerd who works at a small town movie theater. He crushes on his coworker, a fat cocky straight boy toting what the author describes as “the dick of death.”

Of course, one night after everyone has left the theater, the two boys get it on behind the counter of the concession stand, using popcorn butter as lube. The butter thing was the most unique part of the story, so in my other two sketches, I really played it up. Unfortunately, those weren’t chosen (presumably because Freshmen can’t depict fluids.) Originally, I thought it was only bodily fluids that fell in that category.

In any case, I have two sketches with some meaty guys dousing each other in lube but I dunno what to do with them. I was thinking one of them could make a really schweet fan-art of Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble… but what would they use as lube?

Big Joe’s Garage

By | commission, hairy, muscles, Original Art, twinks, Unzipped Media, xxx | 4 Comments
This was for a piece of Freshmen fiction wherein an eager young lad interns at an auto garage. I actually live across the street from one and went over there to take reference photos.
Me: Yo, can I take a few pics real quick for a school project?

Hilariously Stereotypical Big Loud Boarish Italian American Guy Born & Raised in Brooklyn: YEAH? WUT SCHOOL YA GO TO?

Me: Pratt.

Hilariously Stereotypical Big Loud Boarish Italian American Guy Born & Raised in Brooklyn: OH, WHAT’S IT, SOME ARCHITECTURE SHYT?

Me: Um, yeah, somethin’ like that.

His reaction, though a perfectly normal tone for him, kinda startled the hell out of me because he was just so big and loud and projecting. It made me think for a minute how (thankfully) cutoff I am from certain cultures. The funny thing was, if he was that reactive over the lie, imagine if I’d told him the truth– that it was really for a drawing in a gay porno magazine! HEHE!

Eerily uncanny though, was that this assignment came right at a time when I was really into auto mechanics. (Refer to this post.) Remember how I mentioned the commercial for the trade school with the hot mechanic boy? Well, here he is! Yeah, I took pictures off the TV with my phone.

Lusty Pirates

By | Capcom, commission, hairy, muscles, toys, twinks, Unzipped Media, video games, xxx | 8 Comments
*EDIT 5-25-07: I’m taking down 3 of the illustrations until the issues of [2] hits stands.

So here’s the latest thing I’ve been working on: a group of illustrations to accompany a story about pirates in [2] magazine.

Basically, it’s about a beautiful blonde male model who is getting shots taken on a fake pirate ship in the Bermuda Triangle. But then, of course, lightning strikes, and the model is mystically transported back in time to a real pirate ship.


Of the four drawings, my favorite is the one with the group of pirates all ogling the pretty boy tied to the mast. I had fun designing the characters. My partner said I made the Black one look a little too insane– LOL. It’s the eyes. I definitely wanted them all to look crazed.

I’m also proud of how the captain came out. I was worried I’d have trouble making him appear as gruff as a pirate captain would be while still trying to make him as attractive as the story describes. Hopefully, it worked. I’d join this guy’s crew before Jack Sparrow’s any day! (Not to put down Johnny Depp, who will always be high on my list of doable Hollywood!)

For an added bonus, below, you can see the reference pic I took to visualize the group shot piece. A Street Fighter gangbang– wouldn’t that be hot?!

Bunk Buds

By | commission, muscles, Persuasions, Unzipped Media, xxx | 12 Comments
Here’s what I’ve been working on for the past few days. It’s for Freshmen and it’s to accompany a story about two college roommates who share a bunk bed, but of course, end up porking each other.

And next is a sketch I did on a flight a few weeks ago. It was really annoying because there was this guy who was one of those “I-need-attention-so-I-talk-to-strangers” types, and he kept trying to peek over my shoulder and see the drawing and make conversation with me.

Happy B-Day, Kitt

By | commission, elves, Fan Art, muscles, Unzipped Media, xxx | 12 Comments
So here we have a birthday present for my good buddy, Kitt. She is like the female version of me– into games, comics, animation) and is a fellow artist. I’ve been promising her an ElfQuest fan-art for months now and finally figured, hey, I’ll do it as a birthday present (since I’m extra-broke these days! haha)


I admit to never really being into ElfQuest. I remember my uncle had cases and cases of the original comics and when I was a kid, I’d sneak looks at them. For some reason I thought there was something implicitly dirty about ElfQuest. Something about it just made me embarrassed to admit I was interested in it. Maybe it had to do with the effemininity of the male characters… or the fact that they were quite often bare-chested. Whatever the reason, I didn’t really get into it.

We actually met the creator of Elfquest at NY Comic Con a few weeks ago. She and Kitt were going on like they’d known each other for years– it was weird. Anyhoo– this is “Cutter,” the main character of the series. Of course, on my site is the nuder version. (Natcherly!)

And next up is a piece I’ve done for Freshmen magazine. Hopefully my working relationship with them will become more regular because not only is getting paid a great motivator (heh,) it also makes for some interesting pieces for my portfolio. The story here is about a high school kid who gets “invaded” by a mysterious masked intruder. Again, on my site is a raunchier version.
