First Catch Your Rogue - 19 The Factory Surveyor

 Anton thought the deserted office block would provide rich pickings of scrap metal to steal.

He drove up and brazenly entered the building in broad daylight, expecting to help himself.

Dressed in shorts because of the warm, muggy weather, he expected it to be a sweaty job

But he also liked people to look at him and admire his gym-honed body

And it was indeed his sexy body which first caught the eye of a surveyor

Who happened to be already there, upstairs, preparing a structural report for the sellers.

He found Anton in the middle of ripping out some copper cabling.

In this part of the world you could get away anything if you had the right connections

Anton didn't, but he could see right away that this man did, he wasn't just anybody 

and everyone knew that the owners of this factory were powerful, dubious people.

So when the man simply told him to hold out his wrists, Anton meekly obeyed. 

He tied them together with rope which meant an irregular, unofficial punishment

Tying them to the stairs overhead confirmed it would be an on-the-spot job 

Don't worry, they won't collapse, I've checked, I'm a surveyor, the man said.

And he proceeded to survey Anton's unprotected body with considerable thoroughness

His briefcase contained a host of tools and equipment suited to inflicting embarrassment

and enough discomfort to cause the staircase to creak ominously at times.

And a camera of course, able to record whole procedure in quality images.

Anton squirmed and suffered for 3 long hours before he was allowed to go.

But it was the parting remark, as he put his shorts back on, that chilled his soul.

"Very good" the surveyor said, "My employers will probably be in touch"

Where were the Police when you needed them? thought Anton.

Suspension punishment

 This shibari suspension scene is spectacular, but also something of a mystery. 

Presumably it's a punishment but the reason for it and the back story is unknown.

The captive himself should be terrified to be stripped and tied up like this

Indeed the sweat is seen dripping from every part of his body.

But his libido seems to have been stimulated and is responding accordingly

The characters painted on the captive's legs may clarify what is going on here, 

but I can't even identify the language (is it Korean?)

This being Asia, I think we can assume that the fetishistic rationale here

has to do with public exposure, shaming, embarrassment and humiliation 

and likely to relate to a sexual offence of some description.

The captive is restrained crucifixion style, arms tied to a metal bar behind his shoulders

while his ankles, slightly parted, are tethered to a similar bar at his feet.

His torso is enmeshed in a complex shibari rope harness, which is secured to a third bar

running vertically behind his back and connecting with the other two

The whole restraint frame is suspended by single rope from the chain link fence

This dangerous arrangement is mitigated (slightly) by some secondary arm suspension. 

There's a second version of the picture in which a banner has been added.

It hangs from his harness, weighted down by a dumbell. 

No doubt it clarifies his misdemeanour and I think I see a Japanese character,

but the addition of a sheath and fluid collector just adds to the puzzle

This alteration may have been done by someone else of course 

but it's a fairly proficient edit if it is.

I believe the artist of this suspension scene is Kenta, 

it originated on pixiv but I don't think it's there any longer 

 I'd be glad to hear if you know who it is or what the story is.

Navy Muscle Market

 

 The discussion in Navy Gunners about gun barrel sizes brought this picture to mind. 

Phallic connections and weird hazing ceremonies are not entirely absent from this cheeky snap, but I imagine the erotically-shaped barrage balloon overhead was an accidental inclusion. I mentioned geekily before that 16" bore was standard for battleships, in fact the largest naval gun barrel size I can discover was 18". 

Either way, I'd guess this muscular sailor won't get his shoulders inside that barrel!

A tight fit as they say.

This hunk, grappling with thick rope seems immersed in an erotic odyssey of his own. 

The snake-like hawser looks like a chain of cock-heads, it's a wonder it hasn't been banned. 

But it might explain the slightly apprehensive look on his face.

Of course this man isn't a real sailor, but how eagerly the Navy Press Gang would snap him up 

if they were still around and found him loitering on he dockside like this, 

amazingly fit, already kitted out and ready to go.

 

The lads on board need a bit more muscle help.

Looking after those guns is a demanding cleaning chore.

No sooner have the crew got them nice and shiny 

than some idiot Officer wants them fired again .  

 

 For those who arrive without the necessary kit, a member of the crew will probably lend the basics if the man in question takes his fancy. After all there a few things more erotic than watching another man put your clothes on. Especially if they are a little undersized. No-one really wants to borrow another man's underpants but it transpires that no-one wears them on this ship anyway. 

At least that eases the crotch squeeze a little bit.

 It looks like this chap completely lost out in the uniform lottery

 He's obliged to make do with shorts until they reach a port with a Navy Store.

You can see he has to hastily hand-wash them and put them on again un-ironed. 

that's to avoid his nudity being taken the wrong way by a passing shipmate.

I hope they're not making him catch his own dinner as well!

A crew mate looks on as though calculating his chances.

Once in port, just getting to the Navy Uniform Store has risks of it's own

I'm sure you know the seedy undesirables who tend to hang around such places.

Wherever sailors are to be found in fact. 

A scantily clad, muscular, sailor is right up their alley (with any luck).

They can tell he's a malleable novice by his pristine, un-mangled cap.

Cut off from their friends and family and surrounded by succulent flesh,

close friendships soon start forming amongst the pressed men.

Anchors, ropes and other duties get neglected for more interesting challenges.

Before long the men are snatching eagerly at any pleasure on offer 

In the bowels of the ship, chance encounters explode into spontaneous passion.

Throbbing engine rooms are littered with discarded items of clothing 

Up on deck, new recruits who diligently polish the ships rails, 

find themselves accosted by frustrated crewmen 

who have found the influx of mini-muscle-hunks irresistible

and demand to sample those rubbing skills.

 

Meanwhile in the f'ocsle, crusty chains go unpolished as bored hunks gather

and eagerly swallow opportunistic R&R offerings. 

These last two images are by Regularted (RT) but I can't find a web address for him

apart from an empty account at Deviant Art. 

 

Temptations abound.

those who haven't paired off yet openly flaunt what they've got, 

blaming their borrowed uniforms for their lack of suitors.

Rather than their unenthusiastic facial expressions.

Luckily the knowing, older hands take pity and kindly offer 'help sessions' in their cabins

There they offer advice in their privates and inject wisdom (etc.) into the grateful ingenues.

They reassure the laggards they too will be fully integrated into the comradeship of the vessel

(once he's thoroughly certified them as being up to it).

Richard Pierce

 It's an eye-opening lesson the recruits will always remember

One that will be indispensable in the Service career ahead of them.

mitchmen's war No16 - Navy Gunners

An eye catching cover from a 'Commando Picture Library' comic showing the crew of a Japanese submarine in an unexpectedly interesting light. It's hard to believe that they would handle that oily gun in their best whites but they certainly show the gunner's shapely bottom to good effect. A splendid use of artistic licence from a mitchmen point of view!

More curious is the star effect created by the creases in his trousers emanating from the crotch area, which seem to suggest rays of light are shining out. The gun-loader in the foreground seems mesmerised by it, which might explain why he's pointing that phallic shell in the wrong direction altogether if he wants to get it into the gun. The loader man isn't actually the 'him' mentioned in the title of this story, but you could imagine it applying to him here. It's a funny life in the confines of a submarine.

Is this another gay artist subversively expressing himself? After all (as I have been known to say in the past), he didn't have to depict the scene quite like this. There's definitely a smoking gun here!

Leyendecker - These Men Have Come Across!

Even if you have never been in the Navy, as a gay man you probably will have got a better idea of how one loads a big gun, from the well-known, homoerotic, US Navy images of FX Leyendecker. Even his shell seems to be momentarily aimed in a perversely erotic direction, rather than the open breech slightly to the left - 'open breech' there's an expression to conjure with!

Take your pick of possible targets, choose between (another) shapely bottom, alluringly clad in lace-up, white trousers or, alternatively, the crotch of the gunner in between them whose startled pose (a 'recoil' I believe is the technical term) suddenly becomes even more expressive. Even his hands seem to trying to tell us something, or is that my imagination running riot?

The title of this image is taken from a recruiting poster on which it was used, part of a long history of naively inappropriate Navy Recruiting, older readers will remember the 'Village People' campaign.

.

This young gunner does seem to have the right idea where he's going. This image (by Leyendecker's older brother Joe) also illustrates another rule for aspiring gunners - the importance of stripping off your top in the heat of a close encounter, especially when handling objects that are liable to explode.

This man's bottom, being centre-stage, is necessarily more modestly modelled than the images above, but you sense the man's sweat is making them more than a little clammy and it doesn't look like he's got much on underneath. You'll notice his companion discreetly averts his eyes. Actually, the lighting and sensuous shaping of his face and his cheeky cap is a homoerotic delight that must have influenced more than one man to opt for a life on the ocean waves.

It's probably not in regulations to strip off to this degree though! This image is in the style of McClelland Barclay who assumed Leyendecker's mantle in the WW2 era, but I doubt the explicit element is his. His sailors considerably exceed Leyendecker's in heroic muscularity and patriotic determination, you just know that his piece is going to be rammed firmly home. Masculinity oozes out of this image and it's recruiting power rises accordingly amongst all men who prize that element of their identity, not just their gay admirers!

McClelland-Barclay - Man The Guns

It's the same message here but arguably more emphatic. The swirling waves and gun-fire in the background help to create a great sense of drama and confusion in the heat of battle and that shell looks really heavy. You sense the man readying himself to thrust it into the breech.

The ambiguous title is from a recruiting poster again, arguably it's just the product of a more innocent era. You will observe less naivety in the lower body area however, it is noticeably blurry, even the leg outlines are much less crisp than, say, the uniform, cuff detail on the far left. Some crotch creasing is visible if you expand the image, but I think there's been some censorship here.

If the previous image seems to convey 'readiness' there's a more active forward momentum in this rather satisfying reverse composition, it's generated largely by the repeated upward sloping diagonals and the sailor's open legged stance which coveys strength and solid grounding.

For lurkers, the trouser detail of this picture has also suffered in the copying, but you get a better idea of what the artist wanted you to see. He doesn't just show the shapely, muscled cheeks of this man, he cleverly uses the shadowing to cloak, but still hint at alluring, unseen depths. He also clearly understands the erotic nature of the back-lacing in these uniforms, just as Leyendecker did (with a slightly different viewpoint) in the images above. The dart provides a visual substitute for the cleavage a naked man would show, but the triangular shape has been exaggerated, suggesting bulk and forming an unmissable, downward pointing arrow.

The phallic implications of inserting pointed shells into cylindrical holes don't entirely explain the homoerotic appeal of images showing half-naked servicemen grappling with guns. Working together with other half-naked men must have something to do with it too! This picture seems to illustrate that, note the eye contact between these comrades. I think this picture is also by McLelland Barclay, he usually signed his pictures in the corner but it's entirely possible that it's been cropped off, together with a potentially, interesting piece of anatomy on the right hand side of the picture.

Here's the real thing. Sadly, the over-exposure means we can't see the interesting detail, just a glimpse of chunky bottom second left. The term 'Battleship' suggests the mid 20th Century. It's quite a sizeable team, the opposite end of the scale to the recruiting images of Barclay which seemed to suggest working the gun could be a one man effort! The fact that the gunners really are all stripped to the waist might make this an even more persuasive invitation to would-be matelots. Especially as the shell they are all helping to load (centre) looks quite puny. Battleship guns were usually 16"diameter, this shell looks a tad smaller and hardly needing all those hunky attendants to work their socks off.

This is a better but older image, pre-World War I and although it's staged it has an authentic air about it with trousers clinging to sweaty bodies. The old Royale Studio sailor models famously had their trousers soaked in water (while they were still wearing them, on occasion) in order to get a clingy revealing effect. Perhaps I've been wrong all these years, thinking they only did it to get sexy lumps showing, when all the time they were striving for authenticity!

.

I think these sailors are cleaning the gun barrel rather than loading it.

It looks like a throwback to the olden days when cannonballs were loaded through the muzzle end.

Their physiques are less majestic than the imaginings of artists but have an attraction all their own.

I love the short hair in these images.

Commando War Comic No 1423 - Nothing Could Stop Him!

Sadly, the comic with whose cover I started this article does not explore these other interesting aspects of a career in the Navy, in fact this scene is just a brief episode in a jungle-based story.

All Commando comics had an interesting design which wrapped round onto the back cover,

this picture shows the full opened-out version.

There's another interesting piece of naval gunnery in my article on Greasetank

There are also phallic artillery references in this series for men in tanks and anti-aircraft artillery

The Muscle Art of Stefan

I only have two posts at this blog reviewing body-builder photo-morphs - IFNB (2018) and 'Built By Tall Steve' (2017) but they are amongst the most popular articles here. Back in the mid 2000's the artist 'Stefan' was experimenting with similar ideas, putting beefy posers into richly erotic situations and clothing them in costumes that were skimpy to the point of downright rudeness. 

Stefan - Out and About

I love this image showing a mature and highly masculine-looking man squeezing himself into a sexy, near-transparent G-string on the beach and finding himself being observed by two younger muscle guys who are more conventionally dressed and watch him with serious, enigmatic faces. 

It's as though they are shocked and he himself is embarrassed by his desire to be an exhibitionist.   

Stefan - Check This!

Body builders are exhibitionists almost by definition and not necessarily modest in this day and age. 

Many flirt with the audience on stage wearing skimpy costumes made from exotic, glamorous materials.

Stefan's take on that imagines a smug-looking competitor showing-off the daunting girth of his love muscle as well, which matches the meaty bulk of the rest of his body. It seems as if there might be an equally impressive length dimension, but it's held back, compressed even, by the material of his G-string. Not quite enough to fully cover the root, however, leaving one to imagine a concertina-like expansion on release.

Stefan - Dream Ass

In this picture the overall bulk of the competitor's body is emphasised rather than his muscle detail.
Stefan re-imagines this chunky man in a backless thong with sexy side-strings which seem to cry out for a fan to creep in from the wings and give them a sharp tug to see what will spring out.

The garment gives extra exposure to the impressive gluteal development mentioned in the title.

It's front pouch looks tiny by comparison and is even cut away at the sides for added (revealing!) brevity.

It's rubbery look and bulbous, rounded shape give an impression of serious containment.

Stefan - Beach Routine

This man's garment is reduced further to condom-like proportions, with a serious risk of side-spillage.

That concern seems to be reflected in the beach hunk's face and inhibiting his outdoors work-out.
Dismayingly, his exercise excitement has lifted the pouch away from his body, giving a glimpse of an abdomen area which is normally hidden behind it. It's a very sexy moment.

Stefan - Come Closer

Despite the near-nakedness of body builder displays, they are normally safely separated from their admirers by a stage or a camera, set apart like the Gods of masculinity they hope they truly are.
The caption suggests the muscle man is drawing in the camera (which is the principal channel for the love affair with the fans) so that he might be admired in intimate close up. The skimpy, root-revealing Gee-string is clearly not excluded from that invite.

The image suggests an appealing desire to loved by the multitude of faceless followers, coupled with the equally attractive confidence to permit it and enjoy it. A slightly different take on the voyeuristic, adoring relationship between body-builders and their fans.
~
There is an alternative reading of this image, equally evocative to those of a 'mitchmen' turn of mind. You can imagine this exceptionally bulky, gym fanatic looking down at the tiny pouch, perhaps not quite realising just how inadequate it actually is, and exclaiming "do I really have to wear this thing?"

The camera man of course has a repertoire of persuasive arguments to quell any real rebellion.
Controlling a strong man for pervy pictures by manipulating his vanity is perhaps a more exciting challenge than getting models (who really need the money) to reveal more than they intended.

Stefan - Teaser

This man has a very nice body indeed, with beautiful proportions and competition-standard muscularity, mellowed by a modest layer of fattiness that sensualises the skin texture by concealing the veiny, gritty detail deemed essential by true BB enthusiasts. Set against this perfection, the prodigious bulk of his poorly-hidden cock is almost shocking, the elephant in the room you might say.

   Stefan's title here seems to suggest that these hunky chaps are deliberately being provocative when posing, as though their desire to be admired is not fully fulfilled by their success in developing their bodies. Simply by substituting minimalist posing outfits for the more conventional clothing he draws attention to a hidden vein of earthier needs. In this particular image Stefan cleverly dips the top line of the pouch just that little bit further to give the bearer generous credit for his good fortune in the reproductive department and a warning to would-be beneficiaries.

Stefan - Muscle 21

In this delicious image he even conjectures a desire to shock and intimidate the other competitors.
Challenging by example their courage to go the extra mile (or extra inches perhaps I should say).

He's also intimidating them with the possibility that the judges might be tempted to add that final, crowning part of the male body to their Competition marking sheets (a la IFNB). In which case they might be found wanting in comparison with the mighty beast flaunting himself in front of them.

Competitor 104 certainly looks as though that thought might be in his head.
Number 108 already looks a no-hoper in that department, and seems genuinely impressed,
perhaps he's thinking about accepting a different sort of challenge.
 

Stefan - Untitled

Stefan is adept a choosing evocative images to manipulate - not just ones showing a man with a great body, but ones that catch a sense of personality or here a reaction to a significant moment.

This hardy character has entered the gym dressed in a typical Stefan gee-string of fairly conventional design but made of a lycra-like material that leaves nothing to the imagination. At least it doesn't now after a few vigorous exercises have got the blood flowing and sweat pores open.

It's a garment that would create a stir in the average gym at the best of times, although you can see in the background that trunks are acceptable here. I suspect our hunk might have gone too far with this little number and has been approached by a member of staff or fellow user who is unhappy about it offending other users or leading to unacceptable soiling of the apparatus.

Thus we get the image of a mature man of intimidating proportions looking cowed like a schoolboy as he is being told off for wearing gear more appropriate for someone half his age. At any rate his face and the out-of-balance pose suggests he's being told something he doesn't like and is at that delicate moment when he has to decide whether to accept gracefully and retire in humiliation or erupt in a bullying, steroid fit of anger.

Of course the explanation may be more prosaic. The next user asking him to get a move on or an admirer asking how he gets that lower body definition, or a lurker asking if he can buy his pants.

Stefan - Get Ready

This is a slightly softer variation of the themes we have seen above. The body-builder seems to be preparing to remove his pouch for the photographer to record evidence of his amazing dimensions. His look of concentration and fumbling is sweet, he's human underneath all the muscle tissue.

The photographer is already poised for his shot as though wary that the moment of exposure may be too fleeting. After all, the beach is deserted at the moment, but this modest chap might be spooked if any dirty old men or jealous body-builders notice what's going on and close in for a better look.

Stefan - Soviet Spaceman

Stefan's flair for putting real naked men into interesting and sexy fantasy situations finds a rather more artistic expression in this image combining a beefcake pose from the sixties with iconography relating to the great scientific adventures of that era. I'm pretty sure that body and sexy posing pouch (which has not been altered) belongs to the great Vic Siepke. The face does not however and it's possible it belongs to a real Russian astronaut. They briefly enjoyed the status of global, heroic pin-up celebrity in that era, although it's hard to believe such a thing could ever have happened now.

Deconstruction of uniforms and working gear usually yields sexy results and I have a weakness for sexy astronauts and their discipline myself. It's no surprise to see Stefan pairing astronaut kit with one of the briefest, legal Gee-strings ever seen. However in doing so he's making a quite profound connection between being gay (in an era of oppression) and having - and achieving- the highest human aspirations. It's not clear whether he's elaborating on that and encouraging young gay aspirants or cocking a snoop at the whole idea by putting a toy rocket into the  cosmonaut's hand.

You get a glimpse in this image of Stefan's wider abilities in artistry, design and style and I will explore this further in another article soon.

 This image doesn't have Stefan's signature and it's more grainy than his usual style, but it's a neat postscript, drawing on the same themes, arguably more emphatically. This body-builder seems to be hot with embarrassment and almost on the verge of tears as he struts his stuff in incredibly revealing posing briefs before an enthusiastic audience of men and women. The artist has tweaked his facial features to create a slightly awkward, geeky effect although the models chin, lips and nose are actually very sensually shaped. This has the side benefit of obscuring the identity of the original model, which is probably for the best.

Reinaldo Angra

I'm not sure if this is a morph at all, the model's endowment seems too modest for that
(although miniaturising is a sexy joke an artist might play on a muscle head).

His smooth, shaved abdomen accentuates the diminution, but real or not I find it sexy.

The slightly out-of- focus effect suggests some age for this photo 

but I can't find any trace of the model under the name given in the image details.

The Art of Kamui Jack

You'll find the work of this artist under the name Kamui, Kamui-Jack or simply Jack

Jack - Cops and Robbers (?) 2002

This is probably one of his best known images, a tantalising view of an arrest scenario which as far as I know has no follow-up image, so we can only speculate what the Cops reaction is to the arousal of his captive rogue (or is he detaining a cruising, gay man?). The two men seem to be pushing against each other here, creating an 'A'-shape that is visually pleasing and also gives the scene an element of tension. He conjures up a mean look for the cop which reminds me of the work of Les Farnak, but his metro-sexual captive is a lot more attuned to modern tastes.

Kamui - Slut Games 4 (2010)

Generally Kamui's pictures are joyous celebrations of man-sex and this is a rather splendid example. It's an appropriate post-script to the heaving struggles of the men engaged in the Rugby World Cup, which has just concluded. It's part of a series, rather unattractively named 'Slut Games'. The artist actually depicted it as a soccer match (round ball!) originally, but I think the chunky physiques and blunt physicality are a natural fit for Rugby players. It's what they do!

From the team colours, it looks as if Wales are shafting England - obviously we are talking fantasy here! Notice how the legs of the two rutting sportsmen create a frame for this composition, appropriately enough it's not unlike the H shape of the goal in Rugby (or American Football). It gives their coupling a sense of solidity and of the top bearing down on the bottom.

Jack - Hooded Jailors (2001)

 Although he often depicts hard-looking men, Kamui doesn't usually venture far into the dark realms of fetish. At first sight these chunky chains and medieval executioner's hoods suggest this might be a seriously S&M work, but on closer inspection you see it's just kinky sex, with no real overtones of domination or pain. Nevertheless it is a striking composition with a satisfying simplicity and balance.  In this picture the participants form a more distinct 'H' shape but this time the sense of stability and balance it creates seems to impart immobility too, depriving the image of it's essential energy.

Jack: The Black Missa - Drake vs Demon Lust

The bondage element in this image is equally understated and appears to require a magical dimension if it is to be effective. The submissive posture of the captive works much better here and the artist underlines his plight by showing the devil towering over him and even tilting the platform against him. You have to buy into the fantasy to fully encompass the full possibilities of the power being  brandished here.

There's a good deal of fantasy and games imagery in Kamui's work, but I haven't included much of it in this review, check out the links below for more. I don't usually go for fantasy characters at all, but make an exception for 'Drake' with his spiky hair-do and aerodynamic ears. Kamui's rendering of the devil here is also refreshingly and attractively human. Hairy legs like his could become a fashion!

This is another picture with an interesting and thoughtful composition. It's broadly defined by the arching sweep of the Devil's wings which seem about to engulf the helpless Drake, who despite his muscularity seems puny and exceedingly vulnerable. That shape is echoed in the misty, Gothic arches overhead, which in our culture often symbolise the battleground between good and evil, the real world and the magical 'beyond'. Indeed bright light pours down on the scene from a window above, but the Devil's wings prevent it from reaching Drake, casting him into the shadows. At the same time this image suggests that it's Drake and the Devil who are truly in the 'real world', placed on top of a very substantial looking rock while everything else around them is vague and insubstantial.

The title of the piece explains all, we're talking temptation and lust here not S&M. This handsome devil does not force himself on his captive but seduces him into his supposedly 'wicked' ways. The realisation of the concept by Kamui is very impressive. Notice that Drake is unaroused at this point but hopefully the next frame will see him liberated from the chains of sexual repression.

Jack - Ben's Victim_07 (2010)

Domination and submission are also much in evidence here despite the over-riding sexual thrust (as it were). The title of this series hints at things we don't talk about too much in this day and age but the rest of the collection covers an eclectic mix of stereotypes most of whom look more eager to be on the back seat of Ben's car than 'Oak Tree' does above.

He's probably just realised that Ben's reached the end of his attention span.

Jack - Cock Rider (2001)

Jack also does a nice line in more conventional, figurative art. This picture looks as if it might have been adapted from a Paul Freeman 'Outback' image. The credit for the pose and dress may be mostly his, but the addition of an erection jutting out from the strong diagonal trunk-line, like a thorn on a rose stem, is both erotic and rather clever. I'm just waiting for a man to come along and use that rope to tie this sleepy hunk's wrists and feet together behind the tree, so he can feast on the rose hip.
 

Jack - Hank Murphy

I don't know who Hank Murphy is but this image speaks for itself as pure, beefcake temptation.
There's a sequel (see links below) in which the spectacular contents of his jeans pop out,
 but I prefer the focus here on his muscular torso with trimmed pubes
and the hairy grow-back (the delicious corollary of shaving) in evidence higher up.

Jack - Hitchhiker after 2 hours (2010)

This image has the same simple appeal with the added bonus of white underwear straining to contain said assets. The yellow sign is none too subtle, but the overall scenario of roadside roulette (will your number come up?) is full of possibilities for both adventure and danger,enough to stoke anybody's erotic imagination. This is the middle picture of a sequence of three, showing progressive disrobement as frustration takes hold (see links again)

Kamui Jack - Boo! (Halloween, 2010)

Another nice, simple picture with a gentle humour that seems to add an attractive personality to complement this man's already desirable body. The sheet plays a similar role to the Devil's wings in the 'Drake' picture above and plays on the same theme of seduction and capture and yet the sense of attraction is utterly different. It's a matter of personality which you prefer.

Kamui Jack - First Encounter: Chris Redfield vs Sting Ray (2011)

Remember Chris Redfield? The hunky, 'good guy', Special Agent forever falling foul of lustful creatures from another dimension. I always felt his most attractive attribute was his ability to burst his pectoral muscles out of his T-Shirts and this is one of the best depictions of it I have seen.

I don't suppose I need to comment on the phallic dimensions of this blue beast, which seems to have a genetic kinship with the traditional deities of South East Asia. Chris seems oblivious to it's awesome size and obvious power - and to the confinement threat of the containers in the background - instead striking a gung-ho pose for us. Cocky or what? Kamui plays down the usual tentacles theme giving them a logical source as a Medusa-like hair-do, but confining them to a supporting role, waving in the background.

This is one of the most polished images in this selection replete with fascinating and erotic detail. It doesn't quite have the intensity of feeling or character interaction evident in the first few images of this post - but I admit to ignorance of the unspoken forces associated with these scenes.

Kamui Jack - Lost in the Jungle

Part of a series of illustrations for a story. I picked this firstly because I like this 'Ranger' variation of Kamui's usual beefy stud. The jungle setting with it's mysterious inhabitants and unknown dangers also has it's appeal and this one hints at more specific experiences in store for the lost explorer - and he seems to be thrilled by the prospect. Yes it's an unreal sterotype, but there always an erotic tingle when we meet men who are fundamentally different to us and that's what this is all about.

Kamui Jack - Steel Inside Me (2011)

From a story in which friends, Wolverine and Colossus, get to know each other better.
The Steel bit gives this essentially sex scenario a bit of a harder edge and the series as a whole has some memorable images including the one above in which Kamui's talent for strikingly simple compositions shows itself again, this time in the evocative forked shape of a letter Y.
Great Stuff!

You will have noticed that none of these pictures is very recent. I do not know if Kamui is still actively producing art but he has a Tumblr blog which doesn't seem to have recent entries and quotes a link to a Y-gallery site which is unreachable. There are decent collections at Daddy's here and My Reading Manga
