Big Boy Toons

Update...

2011-02-23T13:26:00.000-06:00

I'm on my way back!.. to blogging that is. I've been pretty busy the past year and have neglected quite a few things; but I'm struggling to get back in tough with my followers. This week's post is a pic I did for a friend's birthday. He's a big collector of all things Big Boy and a really sweet guy. Also, hop on over to my other blog Fattastic Voyage, to see my first all-new, soul-shattering post on there.

2010-08-28T09:32:00.000-05:00

Well, I finally finished my Thor toon...and decided to go with another design for the tattoo. Not sure what, but something about it just didn't scream "wear me on your body for the rest of your life." But, hey, that's how it goes sometimes. So, the quest continues for my tattoo design; and at this rate, it may be next birthday before I get it done.

Anyway, here he is in all his toony glory. Enjoy!

Tattoo - WIP

2010-07-25T23:44:00.000-05:00

Hugz to all!

I just wanted to share the work-in-progress on my tattoo design. I decided to go with a symbol of great strength for my first tat. Thus, I am doing my own tooned-up version of Thor. This is the first time I've posted something in mid-ink. Enjoy!

2010-07-18T23:18:00.000-05:00

Howdy-ho,

How's everyone doing this fine day? Good, I hope. I'm just hang'n on to 39 for another couple weeks and wainting to officially become a "Daddy" bear. I know-I know, age is a state of mind; but I can't help feeling it these days. Anyway, here's a new piece that was sorta inspired by my desire to get a tat for my 40th birthday. I probably wont have the money for it...but I've wanted one for a long time and would love to get it before I get much older.

Enjoy!

2010-06-25T00:45:00.000-05:00

Hey...I'm finally back after many moons of artist's block. Let's just say the creative juices have been a little congested of late. Not sure what it is that takes hold of my spirit and imagination and keeps me from drawing even the simplest of things. For whatever reason, I've managed to peek my head out from under the fog and do a little doodling.

So, I figure (to celebrate this new found pinch of creativity) I would dress up my blog with a snazzy new template and a more colorful title banner. Hope it meets with everyone's approval. Also, I present a rarity for my blog - a post without a big piece of meat flopping all over the place. I wanted to do something that was both hot and cute and not-quite-so X-rated. Figure I’d start building a portfolio that can be use for more mainstream purposes.

I have to know...which is more appealing: subtle shading and highlighting, or clean flat colors? Everyone, please give me your two-cents worth.

HUG!!!

2010-02-19T07:22:00.000-06:00

Hi Gang,
First, I have to say "Hey" to all my beautiful black friends out there, and wish them a very proud Black History Month!
Second, I hope all my other friends are doing good. It's been a while, but I've managed to finish another piece this past week and wanted to share. As always, please let me know what you think!
Super-duper hugz to all!

2010-01-03T23:00:00.001-06:00

Wow...another year has cum and gone. It's time to break out those resolutions and get ready for another ride on the merry-go-round called life.

My resolution?...get Cap published!

Hugz!

Merry Xmas

Boooo!..I'm getting my Hallows Eve post in early, this year. Perhapse I'll get one more in before the big night. Don't let this guy's big smiley mug fool you - He is EVIL!!!!!!!!!! Forget the candy. He wants your soul and your cock, and in that order.

2009-10-11T23:21:00.002-05:00

Good day to all. Not a lot to say this time. Just wanted post this little tribute to the dog-days of summer which are quickly, if not quietly, on thier way out the door.
Hugz and stuffs!

2009-09-03T23:27:00.004-05:00

Wow...another year has cum and gone. It's time to break out those resolutions and get ready for another ride on the merry-go-round called life.

Well, it's that time again - first post of the month. And this month's fan art is one of the oldest comic book characters out there. It's Plastic Man! Plaz is considered to be one of the seven most significant super heroes of all time. He was created in the early 40's by writer/artist Jack Cole. Originally, Plaz was a small-time crook named Patrick "Eel" O'brian. When a heist goes bad, he is shot and dipped in acid. The acid enters his blood through the gunshot wound and transforms him into living plastic. Hey, it' a little thing we like to call "comic book physics". After being nursed back to health by a friendly monk, Eel decides to reform and fight crime as an elastic costumed superhero. Sixty years later, Plaz still makes cameos in DC Comics and the new Batman: Brave and The Bold cartoon. Ever since his 80's cartoon, Plastic Man has had a very special spot in my heart and imagination. And for this reason, I present him as August's Fan Art Subject.

Quick Update

2009-07-09T21:47:00.002-05:00

Yay!!!,

I've finished my first official comic script of Captain Fattastic. The comic is 24 pages. It tells the first chapter of CF's origin. A truely evil badguy is on the loose and sexy young chub Bobby Blutowski is on a headlong jurney across the universe to claim the power to stop him.

Next step - start storyboarding so robert can begin working on backgrounds.

Howdy Everyone!
It's July...and I'm back to the monthly fan art. This month I'm stoked to present my version of Benjamin Foley a.k.a. "Porky"
I'm hard for this character for a few good reasons. First, I love everything Logan draws. I love everything about his characters: muscles, bellies, fur...He's like Tom of Finland for the bear/chub community. Second, I love Porky. He's smart, sexy, and precocious. All that, and a heart of gold. He's a dirty little bad boy who’s destine to be a powerful hero.
So, there you have it.

Also, at the request of JC, I've updated last month's "Lil' Peeps" post with darker line work. Just click on the small pic from that post and you will hopefully notice a difference. That, and you will notice a new template for the blog this month. I thought a change would be nice...

Hugs to all!

2009-06-19T23:55:00.002-05:00

No fan art this month. Sorry.
This month I give you a little diddy I call Lil' Peeps. I combined two of my favorite secret turn-ons: little people and gangstas. It's funny how the most random things can get under your skin and put the lead in your pencil.
Anyway...enjoy.

May Fan Art: Anti-Heroes

2009-05-12T19:27:00.002-05:00

Happy May, everyone!

And in keeping with my new tradition - here is this month's fan art. In addition to being a cool person and talented artist, JC Etheredge is a very playfull storyteller. His staple characters - Caleb, Tai, and Zeke - are just a stone's throw away from being the three stooges with super-powers. Every piece JC draws is living anectdote. When he tosses his beloved antiheroes into a situation, sex becomes both motivation and punchline.

Here's looking at you, JC.
HUG!

2009-04-26T10:50:00.002-05:00

Hi Gang,

This week, I'm sending out a request for info on HvH. He is one of my all-time fav artists and he seems to have fallen off the radar. Is he still out there? Has anyone heard from him? Has his blog been orphanned?

If you're out there, HvH...give us a sign...

Easter Egg!

2009-04-12T00:40:00.002-05:00

Happy Easter, everyone...or as some call it, Happy Zombie Jesus Day!

April Fan Art: Naked Justice

2009-04-07T23:17:00.003-05:00

Huge Hugs to all!
This week, I begin what I hope will become a monthly tradition and labor of love. I've decided to make my first post of each month a piece of fan art devoted to my favorite fellow erotic artists. This month's fan art post is dedicated to Patrick Fillion of Class Comics and Boytoons Magazine. Of course, my favorite character from the Class Comics roster is Deimos; but I've done him, so I decided to do a tooned up version of one of Patrick's most iconic characters - Naked Justice!
I've actually been itching to draw this guy for some time now. I figured now was a good time, with the impending release of Naked Justice: Beginnings. What I dig most in Patrick's style is the flow and elegance with wich he draws the human form. He renders his figures with a sense of romantic indulgence. They are both sexy and sensitive - and it is for this reason, I feel, that Class Comics really lives up to it's name.

Enjoy!

2009-03-28T16:04:00.002-05:00

He's the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly all rolled up in one. (Minus the Good, of course)

His name is Slaughterhouse. He's a demon with an axe to grind - a fuck'n big axe - with humanity! At one time, he was one of Heaven's highest-ranking angels...until he got suckered into helping Lucifer in the great uprising. Now he has found himself barred from both heaven and hell and (through logic twisted by madness and rage) blames it all on humankind. His vampiric lust for human blood drives him to senselessly slaughter without discretion. The only thing greater than Slaughterhouse’s bloodlust is how horny it makes him. The more he kills, the bluer his balls get...and when that happens, he goes on a very different kind of rampage.

Our hero has his hands full with this one...if he's not careful he'll have something else full too.

2009-03-17T19:58:00.002-05:00

Howdy, gang!

First...Happy St. Patty's Day!...
Hope everyone has fun but makes it a safe one.

Second, I submit a little piece I drew about 2 months ago and just got around to inking and coloring. The subject is Mighty Zeus. This is how I want to render him in my Captain Fattastic Comic. The idea is that many of the ancient "gods" of Greece are actually highly evolved beings from a planet light years away from Earth. This planet, Olympus Prime, is where Bobby Romano receives the Power Amplifier that transforms him into the irresistible CF!

Hugs to all!

2009-02-07T20:27:00.002-06:00

Hey, kids!

Not much to report...just wanted to share the latest offering as part of Black History Month.

Hope you like it, RDOT. HUG!!!

2009-01-01T02:08:00.002-06:00

To my fellow erotic artists - and friends - I wish you all a Happy New Year!

2008-12-24T19:49:00.002-06:00

2008-12-16T22:31:00.002-06:00

Hey, kids! It's our hero back for more free publicity! You asked...now see what all the super-villians are talk'n about. It's a bear...it's a chub...No! It's Captain Fattastic and his amazing P.A.
He'll nock your socks off with his galactic shaft of justice! (Offer void where prohibitted by law. All models are 18 and over. See dealer for details.)

2008-11-30T22:33:00.002-06:00

This week's offering is a character that has earned a spot in my heart in a very short amount of time. He's just your average superhero with above average super powers and a never-ending appetite for food and fun. I call him Captain Fattastic. He possesses the ancient Power Amplifier of Olympus Prime. It's one of the most valuable artifacts in our galaxy. Fattastic could be a god if he ever seriously tried to learn how to tap into the P.A.'s almost limitless power; but, alas, he's content just being a bumbling superhero. I'm not sure if I'll go full nudity with this character or not. For now, he'll stay clothed. Let me know what you think.

Some sketchy characters...

2008-11-23T19:24:00.003-06:00

Not much going on this week...just a few sketches to pass the time.

2008-11-14T21:41:00.002-06:00

Ok...so, I'm talking with a very close friend who advises me to stop drawing giant penises on everything; you know, so I can build a Portfolio that anyone can look at. Of course, he's right about the importance of having a broad range of subject matter. I started working on this sketch of Hellboy and purposely covered the naughty bits with a sexy set of boxer shorts, and thought, "This is crazy...I can have my beefcake and eat it too!" The result is clear to see if you roll over 'Red' with your mouse. Click on him for a larger version.

I admit...I like playing Magic: The Gathering. But I always want the cards to be sexier. More nudity, more sex, more hot game mechanics - that's what I want. That, and I needed something to do with a barbarian pic I had been working on. Anyway, here's what I've cum up with.

Also, everyone check out the link to the Anti-Heros Store. Issue 3 is hot, funny and even a little gross...all the ingredients of a great comicbook!

Trick'n Treat

2008-10-29T20:53:00.002-05:00

Hey, kids...Happy Hallows Eve! I hope everyone gets plenty of tricks and treats this weekend.

Great big pumkin-hugs!

2008-10-05T20:02:00.002-05:00

Just an idea for a Halloween piece I'm working on. I'll probably post more next week.

Hugz to all!

2008-09-07T14:17:00.002-05:00

So...I'm sketching this figure and trying to think of all the things about my own drawing I don't like. Things like heads and faces, hands and legs, muscles and preportions. I'm telling myself, that part of my problem is that I start drawing a body the way I think it's suposed to look and end up getting bogged down in drawing every little muscle group and wrinkle; and before I know it, what I've drawn looks less like a figure and more like highschool art exercise.

So what do I do? Well first I take a deep breath and ask myself if what I'm drawing looks like what it's suposed to be. I do some "homework" in my head and study some prefessional works on the net. Then I tell myself I can do it if I don't get lazy and fly on autopilot. I sit and draw and think about everything I draw and why I'm drawing it. I resist the urge to show a certain muscle or curve of the face just because I don't want to look like I don't know it's there.

This week's post is pretty static, but I like the ballance of detail (and suggestion of detail). I hope I can get some critiques from the peanut gallery. Please tell me what I need to pay attention to and what I need to pay less attention to. Who knows, perhapse I can start getting some real work and get away from the 9 to 5 dredge.

Hugz all around!

2008-09-01T21:08:00.003-05:00

I've been away again...oh, well. That's life. I wanted to post something, so I figured, why not mix things up with a little G-rated fun. I actually did this a few months back, but since we're looking at "toons", thought it would be a good time to post. The line work isn't as organic as most my work. I was actually going for a Genndy Tartakovsky look (Powerpuff Girls, Clone Wars). I know a lot of people don't dig his style, but I find it very expressive.

Anyway, everyone enjoy...and I'll try to post something new next week.

2008-07-22T22:10:00.004-05:00

Howdy Folks! You may be asking yourself, "is that Deimos?". Well the answer would be Yes! I've been absolutely stoked since Patrick anounced Boytoons Adventures. I'm all about toony styles. If you can say it with realism, you can say it ten times louder with toonism. Hehehe...

Well, this week I present my favorite boytoon character done in my own toonish style. Everyone enjoy! I'll probably go out of my head waiting for the new digest to cum out. (Guess I'll just have to be satisfied with drawing toony versions of everyone else's characters. Someone stop me befor I kill again!)

In other news...EVERYONE GO SEE DARK KNIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is so fucking cool!

In the words of Peter Griffin: Testicles...that is all!

2008-07-02T23:56:00.002-05:00

Happy July, everyone!

Canada Day was two days ago, Independence Day is two days away, we've passed the half-way mark for yet another year, and I turn 38 in just four weeks! Yay!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, I've been quiet for a while now, and decided to update the blog with my latest work. I pressent FB minus about 5lbs of hair and his trademark over-alls. He's also wearing some realy hawt pheremones...but scratch-n-sniff jpegs haven't been invented yet. Oh, well.

As for what I've been up to...work has been the same old shitty 9-5 with no signs of improving. It's all more motivation for me to get cracking on my art carreer. It would be wonderful to not be working at the same place next year at this time. We'll see.

Also, I want to send out some recomendations for the comics I just got from Class Comics:

1) Porky 2 - It's FUCKING AWSOME! There's loads of (dirty) sex and a suprisingly emotional backstory. It's like, what happens when the the sex is over and the blood rushes back to the head on your shoulders? We discover that the pudgy little slut has feelings.

2) Diemos - I was allready hooked on this guy when I read Patrick's first comic. I was so blown away by Logan's rendering. One of my favorite artists meats mone of my favorite characters! The twist at the end seems to cum out of left field, but it bodes well for a dramatic overall story arc.

3) In The Blink of an Eye - HVH, quite simply one of the best at what he does. I've been in love with his style from day one. The stories are as spellbinding as the artwork. I think my favorite is the second story. It's both sad and touching.

4) Zahn - What I love most about Patrick is his delicious sense of humor. You read his earlier comics and the jokes are staring you in the face with a wicked smile. By the end of Zahn #1, you are left with one thought: "WTF?" The jokes in this story are like easter eggs that sprout nimble little legs and suddenly jump out at you with no warning. That, and Patrick just knows how to draw a hot guy with a realy big "personality".

5) Mark Of Aeacus - The artwork is gritty. The premis is twisted. The (anti)hero is creepy as hell. This comic may end up being one of my favorites. The story is being told in a deliberately slow and methodical manner that tugs at the old-school comics reader in me. I hope the book gets darker and darker with each issue.

If you are thinking about getting any or all of these, please do. As you probably know, you can now order Class Comics from Diamond Adult through many comic and book shops.

Hugz to all!

Dynamic Duo

2008-06-04T22:30:00.003-05:00

This one was a quicky (and it shows). Don't know what moved me to do it. I think I was just desperate to do something with more than one character in it. The funny part is that it looks to me like the kind of thing you would see on Adult Swim.

Kratos with color

2008-05-30T07:48:00.002-05:00

Still a work in progress...but probably all I'll get done on him for now. Decided to focus on other things, like getting some collaborative work done with Robert.

Just ordered some stuff from Class Comics: Blink Of An Eye, Porky 2, Mark of Aeacus, Deimos, and Zahn. Looking forward to that...just takes so darn long to get mail from Canada down here in Texas.

Hugz to everyone!

2008-04-28T21:49:00.003-05:00

Hey, folks. I'm just check'n in to let everyone know I'm still here. As you can see, I'm hard at work on the final Kratos drawing. I'm hoping to start coloring this weekend. We'll see. I promise to catch up on Kok & Man also.

While I have everyone's attention, I'd also like to showcase a couple of my favorite Bear/Big-man artist from the web! Obviously, The subjects of these works are not what most might consider "attractive". For someone who grew up fighting with their own self-image, they demonstrate an erotic ideal that transcends mere appearance. The true hotness of these men comes from the warmth and comfort they exude. Their attraction comes from a desire to curl-up in their soft - yet tuff - arms and feel protected from the elements of life on the most intimate level.

First, check out the burly art of Neil Bruce:

And then hop on over to the muscle bear galleries of APBears:

Huge bear-hugz to all!

2008-03-27T21:59:00.002-05:00

Hi gang. Still working on Kratos. Here's another concept sketch. Not exactly sure what's going on with the one hand...

2008-03-18T07:52:00.002-05:00

And my next subjuect will be......Kratos! This was just a quick sketch to see how well he'd translate as a toon. I'm not happy with the legs...yet...but I like everything else.

I just wanted to give everyone something new to see since I was working on it.

Hugz to all!

2008-03-10T19:27:00.002-05:00

Yay...I'm back. (again)
Finally over the stomach virus, flu, and general blah's...and now I'm trying to get my ass back in gear with my art. This week's piece is an old one. I did this before I wanted to try to put the Hero Sandwich gang into some kind of storyline. The Idea is loosely based on a parady of Cloak and Dagger that ran some years ago in the comic "What the?!?"

As allways, I'm hoping to get back to posting new stuff soon.

Hugz to all!

2008-02-28T07:51:00.001-06:00

Hi, everyone.
I'm still here...just been fighting flew and stomach virus the past couple weeks. I'll update my blog this week end.

Hugz to all!

2008-01-26T09:38:00.000-06:00

Hugz and kissez to everyone! Something new this week. This piece was heavily inspired by Chi McBride who played "The Chief" In Undercover Brother. I'ld love to get him under the covers.

Also, I'm posting two new Kok & Man comics this week to make up for last week. Enjoy!

Random Sketch

Goodbye 2007

2008-01-01T09:20:00.000-06:00

Happy New Year!

Here it is...the piece I've been working on for the past couple weeks. I hope everyone had/has a safe New Year!

2007-12-29T09:22:00.000-06:00

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.

2007-12-19T19:52:00.000-06:00

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...

2007-12-12T22:09:00.000-06:00

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?

2007-11-18T21:24:00.000-06:00

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!

2007-11-04T20:10:00.000-06:00

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.

2007-11-03T09:38:00.000-05:00

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!

2007-10-21T22:06:00.000-05:00

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

2007-06-28T18:25:00.000-05:00

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.

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

2007-06-03T07:33:00.000-05:00

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.

2007-05-28T19:17:00.000-05:00

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

2007-05-20T13:57:00.000-05:00

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.
