Is everyone having a great holiday season? I hope so!

Yours truly has been busy working the phones at work with most of the rest of the office taking the week off. For this reason, I haven't posted anything new untill now. I'm still hard at work on the big project I was hoping to have finished for X-Mas. Alas, It's been a slow process with everything else going on at home with the guys and friends/family.

What I have this week, besides a new Kok and Man, is a look back at some old - and new - line works. I'm still working on the big project, and will hopefully have it done for New Years day.

Huge Santa-hugz for everyone.

Hey all, just to let everyone know that I don't intend to let the waters get too stagnant around here, here's a little shot of an old friend. I did this one of Brian the barbarian a short time after the first one I posted some months ago. With this piece, I poke some major fun at Frazetta works inwich the buck-ass naked hero manages to show you every single detail - except for the the "goodies".

Also, I want to invite everyone to check out the link on the right side of the blog to see a new Kok & Man comic strip each week.

Enjoy!

Blasting from the past...

THE END IS CUMMING!

The end of the year, that is. I can't believe how freak'n fast 2007 has flown by. I've done a lot of reflection on the passing year today as I stayed home from work to do some last-minute holiday baking. I've been thinking back on some of my first erotic artwork. Looking at it now, it seems relatively tame. Case in point: my first attempt at a webcomic was a nice little strip called "The adventures of Kok and Man". I worked on it, off and on, for about three years. I'ld be unemployed and looking for work and in my spare time would draw and color it. Then I'ld get a job and it would be put on the back-burner for months and months. And when I'ld be between jobs again, it would start back up.

Anyway, it's by far not my best work...but it showed a lot of heart and desire to tell a good story. It's a shame it was never completed. I'm going to start posting the series here on my blog (starting this weekend) I want everyone to tell me if I need to invest the time and sweat to breath new life into this story. The promo pic I'm posting tonight was my first attempt to draw the two main characters; and to date, it is one of my favorite renderings of them. I would kind of like to go back and either redraw or rework the comic, but part of me says that I should put the past to bed and move forward with Futomara and the gang at Hero Sandwich.

Speeking of Futomara...I have special treat for everyone who wanted to see more of the toon from Hell. It's what I've been busy with for the past couple weeks, and hopefully it'll be ready to post by XXXMAS.

Big burly bearhugs for everyone!

Who's your dady?

Hi, kids!

Thanks to everyone for the great comments on my baby, Futomara. He's my bastard love child...he's a bastard and that's just the way I love him. :)

The previous post featured my older stuff. This week, I'm giving thanks early to all my friends here on Blogger and posting a new Futopic. As you can see, I'm still developing my coloring style. It's getting very airbrushy. I don't know if that's a good thing or not. What do you (the audience at home) think?

Snuggly Hugz!

As promised, here's some of my older stuff. This guy's name is Futomara. He's quite simply everything you wish you could be but never had the nerve. I like drawing him when ever I feel overwhelmed and need a little pick-me-up. A few more things will be coming this week.

Hi guys (and gals?),

Well, Halloween has cum and gone and I missed getting to post something spooky. That's OK. I'm already planning something for X-Mas. I spent the past week (between work, parties, and taking care of the guys) coloring my spicy Latino cub. Here's the finished work for all to inspect. I've got some older things that I'm gonna try to post this weekend also, to make up for the past few weeks. So, let me know what you like and don't like.

Super Huge Huggies!

Happy October to all!

First, a quick apology to everyone for wandering off for so long. It's been a nightmare month at work...but that's neither here, nor there. What matters is that I'm back at the proverbial drawing board and trying to make up for lost time. This week, I'm sharing a work in progress. I spent most of today "inking" it, and will probably start coloring sometime this coming week. In response to mixed reviews of my "animated" style, I've returned my old style for this one. Also, I've decided to go with a bit of spicy Latino flavoring. Enjoy!

Hugz!

Happy Saturday!

It's said you can't teach an old dog new tricks. You can, however, give him a new look. I give you the "new and improved" Big Devil. I've given him a sleeker superhero look. Originally his entire body was to be covered with the plastech costume, but now he's showing as much skin as in the first drawing without having to play stretch-a-suit. His new ensemble includes an handy cape that can expand to protect the entire body or become a pair of handy-dandy devil wings. The one arm shows how the plastech can mold itself into any sort of tool or weapon his brain can dream up.

Also, this piece showcases my newest stylization. I call it my "Animated" look. It's highly influenced by the current rash of superhero toons. I like it, because it allows me to produce a more dramatic character with tighter, cleaner lines. I have more works in this same vein that will be posted in coming weeks.

Enjoy!

Howdy gang! It's Sunday...and Sunday, as we all know, is a day for reflection on all things heavenly. That's why I've taken this opportunity to share some of my love's own artwork. Robert is so incredibly talented. Don't ask me why we are wasting our lives in the 9 to 5 workforce. One of these days, we're gonna walk into work, suck face in front of the right-wingers, and quit. (We like to imagine every one's heads literally exploding.)

Robert drew, inked, and colored this piece. Cool, huh?

Mega-hugz!

Hey folks,

Been a looooong time since last I posted . The biggest reason being that I've been working on so many different things that just aren't ready for prime time yet. So everyone will have to wait for those goodies. In the mean time, I do have something to offer the rest of the class. I was thinking about all the erotic angst going on with some of our favorite characters, and decided to play around with a classic Icon. So I've given Supes the ol' chubtoons treatment.

Also, I have a question for everyone. About two months ago, my grandfather passed away. He was openly gay and accepted, as I am, by all members of the family. However, I discovered recently that in scavenging through his possessions my mother and aunts found a large stash of gay adult videos and magazines. When I suggested that I would like to have them, I was told that they had been dumped into a pit and burned. I can (somewhat) understand their being emotional at the loss of a father, but I'm incredibly sore that they destroyed his belongings because they consider it to be "filth". My question is this: Does anyone have experience or advice in dealing with family and justifying their choice in drawing or producing pornographic artwork? It's just something that hangs heavy in the back of my mind these days.

Huge Hugz!

Who is he?...Not even he knows.

Hey, gang.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. I'm just coasting by...waiting to turn a year older this Monday. Yay me.
Anyway, This week sees the introduction of a mysterious new character named Magnus X. I'll post the profile soon; but go ahead and click on the b&w art to see him in full color. As always, critiques will be both welcome and appreciated.

Hugz!

Another layer for the Hero Sandwich

Ok...I know we've all seen this one; but I just finished the profile for Big D, and wanted to share with the rest of the class. As you'll see, I'm starting to pull the characters together into a sort of family. The story seems to be writing itself, so a comic may happen sooner than later for these guys.

Hugz!

Hey, gang. Another week has come and gone. "Thanks!" to everyone who visited my Beartoons page last week. I really need to get back to my inking. "Use it - or loose it" comes to mind. Trouble is that 90% of my time goes to making ends meet, leaving me with a puny 10% to devote to my real talents. The worst part of having a day job is knowing that all the blood and sweat you're wasting on it could be used elsewhere to create something great. I always end up feeling guilty or embarrassed for not finding the time to do more. Wouldn't that be cool - to be able to pull a few extra hours a day out of my ass. Eh...tempus fuck it!

Anyway, this week I'm giving everyone a taste of chocolate. I don't know what's the current socially accepted term: "black" to me sounds like it implies that one's skin is actually the color black; "African-American" implies that one lives in America, but was born in Africa; "Nubian" implies that one is from the Sudan or southern Egypt; I believe that "brother" or "brotha" are reserved for use between members within the particular community; just the thought of saying or writing the "n" word makes my skin crawl - that too is reserved for use by members of the community. I like "chocolate". It doesn't imply color, history, geography or social relationship. It's dark and delicious. Simple as that.

And with that said, I was doing some practice sketches this week and decided to have Robert ink one of the better ones. Unfortunately, he couldn't find the brush pen he likes using, so he ended up making due with a finer point. He still did a good job.

Hugz!

Hey, gang. I'm working on new stuffs to post, and absolutely loving on my new profile books from Class Comics. Mike and HVH should be very proud of themselves. The books are wonderful.

In the meantime, I've unearthed some artwork from my college days, and have been working on putting together an online page to share with everyone. First, let me say these are more "Bear" oriented than my most recent work. When I did most of these, I was just coming out and searching for an identity within the gay comunity. Now and then, I consider returning to my Beartoons and seeing were that leads me artisticly. Looking back, I think I grew more as an artist when I was exploring virgin teritory as a bear.

Hey, had time to whip out another character profile this week. So here it is. The incredibly bizzare Farm Boy! The art is scaled down quite a bit and has lost some of it's detail. I'll have to post a better version later.

Howdy all! This week, I'm giving an explanation, of sorts, for the "Hero Sandwich" on the pic of Big Devil. I've decided to incorporate my own creations and those of my husbear into one big super-hero universe. I wanted a name for the collective super-adventures that would evoke the idea of group dynamic and sexual humor. I hope to work my concept into a full blown comic at some point. In the meantime, I'm putting together a character morgue to use as reference and I wanted to share the profiles with everyone. The art work for the main "stats" page is rather quick and intended only to give an idea of the character's appearance. I did this version of Heavy Metal in a style inspired by the recently ended Paul Denny Justice League cartoons. Tiny legs - huge shoulders...lol! My husbear, Robert, was so nice to do a quick Ink job. LOVE HIM!
Anyway, if you like/hate/have some super-cool ideas, let me know.

Here he is...Big Devil, in all his full color glory. Everyone, please let me know what you like or don't like. I desperately need feedback.

Hugz!

For JC, A better look at Heavy Metal, my mascot. he's definitely inspired by X-Men's Colossus and Siver Surfer. He shows off some of my favorite members of the male anatomy. Enjoy!

Big Devil

This week, a work in progress. This is a style of drawing that I developed over ten years ago while I was still in college. It's my favorite, and I often have to restrain myself from trying to get too detailed with the anatomy.

This week, an introduction to one of my creations, Brian The Barbarian. He wields a very big sword to compensate for certain "short" comings.

Howdy! Welcome to my blog. Each week, I'll be posting my works and hopefully getting some feedback. I have a variety of styles, but one common inspiration: BIG MEN! Like most erotic artists, I draw what turns me on.

If you view my work, please take time to comment, critique, and let me know how I can improve and sell myself as an artist.
