Cowboy fun with cartoonizer and hot irons

 I recently discovered an 'AI-cartoonizer' and was amazed and delighted with the results it generated when fed with my recently published 'Cowboy Branding' image, an early picture which I've never been totally happy with. This app unexpectedly revealed the essence of it's drama in a most sensual way. 

M159 Talk or be Branded (cartoonized variant 1)

This result arbitrarily put modern, fashionably-coiffured heads on the two characters, but that was an improvement on my original (reproduced below) where the two faces don't really match stylistically. The software also decided to clothe the victim below the waist but I actually find those plunging, low-rise pants rather sexy! The colourisation of his skin has also brought out the captive's sexy neck-tie which looks old fashioned and showy now but bowled me over when I first saw one on Ty Hardin.

The AI hadn't a clue, though, what to do with the glimpse of thigh seen through the hole in the stall wall, nor the discontinuity in the brander's left arm and in fact the whole branding paraphernalia has gone out of the window leaving a background that resembles the clutter of a bathroom plus an amusing manifestation of a hand emerging from behind the stall wall holding I don't know what!

 The overall simplification has not resulted in any loss of the sense of menace.

M159 Talk or be Branded (Original drawing, Darkened version)


This software offers the choice of male and female 'interpretations 'but I must say I wasn't expecting the emasculation operation which it performed on my lovely men in the second variant below. It also stripped them both naked, which might account for the brander's expression, as though it's dawning on him that we can see their little secret! You might conclude that this choice - male = clothed, female = nude suggests good old fashioned, politically incorrect, stereotyping is built into this particular Artificial Intelligence! Shame there's not a car bonnet (US = hood) handy for draping purposes.

M159 Talk or be Branded (cartoonized variant 2)

The same stereotyping might account for the mysterious hand from behind the stall transforming from a balls cupping shape to an rather evil claw here and also the re-interpretation of the branding iron as a more feminine, paint brush. Shades of Ken Dodd with his tickling stick! This AI is decidedly kinky and if the Doddy connection is anything to go by, it's going to be a very long night for the captive ending with a numb bottom .

This variant made a better fist of that glimpse of thigh, but unaccountably fails (like No 1) to spot that the captive's left arm does not stop at the elbow.

M159 Talk or be Branded (cartoonized variant 3)

This variant is closest to the original in some ways. The branding iron is there and it's even tinted orange although the software surely doesn't know that it's meant to be hot. The captive's grimace is more pronounced suggesting he's either felt it's kiss already or else has a vivid imagination. Either way he still seems to be gamely sticking out his butt to the torturer.

 The AI can't quite make up it's mind here whether the men are clothed or not and has settled for cut-off jeans on the brander and a sort of translucent, posing pouch on the captive that suggests that any sexual excitement he may have had, has (understandably) evaporated after experiencing the reality. 

This choice of clothes is uncannily contemporary with the drawing itself.

The half-coloured arm is now complete but that weird groping hand now looks like barbecued cock as if the programme has learnt to join the game. Spooky!

M159 Talk or be Branded (cartoonized variant 4)

In this version, the whole image is tinted in a warm glow suggesting the heat in the barn as coals do their evil work. The victim is now clothed in tights which will produce interesting results when the iron makes contact. In fact it looks as if they are already smoking - unless that's the captive steaming. 

M159 Talk or be Branded (cartoonized variant 5)

This last variant is very similar except that the brander is no longer thrusting with his branding iron but holding a cigarette instead, while he takes time out from his hot work. It's possibly a joint judging by his facial expression, a dangerous combination in these circumstances. The captive has that 'Uh Ah' look that says 'this isn't looking good' having spotted, quite correctly, that the cigarette, while less of a blunt instrument, is equally capable of causing distress - over a wider area and over a much longer period.

I think I'll be experimenting more with this technique!

Sapeur:Brick - Chained and Numbered

The list of new pictures by Brick at MetalbondNYC continues to grow. 

He now calls himself Sapeur:Brick (sapeur = military engineer, like sapper in English)

The captive here is being subjected to a particularly blunt form of chastity restraint, with an adjustable cap that not only limits growth but might be used by unscrupulous captors to crush it.

I have compiled an updated index below of all the recent releases.

Beautifully Bound - Drew Stevens

Blake Harper reassures Drew Stevens in 'Anal Bondage' (Tom Ropes McGurk)

 I have long had a mental note to feature the work of Tom 'Ropes' McGurk here at mitchmen and this image is one of my favourites by him, it must be the old romantic in me! 

Blake Harper is a real hunk and his lust for the helpless Drew leaks out of the picture. 

It's plain to see how effective this immobilisation is and Drew's pulled-back arms produce a display of defenceless torso that is highly erotic and plainly a turn-on for Blake. His passionate stolen kiss is a marvellous expression of benign domination - and passive seduction by Drew, let it be said! 

I've done some AI tweaking of the image and it has caused the normally flat and vague background mural used by McGurk to leap forward, framing the the two men like a protective tent.

Drew's bondage is remarkably simple, just arm restraint using a stretcher pole tied to his upper arms, just above the elbow. His wrists are tied together and separately attached to the middle of the pole and pulled up tight. You can see the arrangement more clearly in the snapshot below. 

The metal eyes at each end of the pole are normally attached to a captive's ankles to compel him to spread his legs, Drew's feet are shackled with chains in this scene.

This scene is part of the closing rites of the video.

The results are gratifying.

Drew, understandably doesn't seem so sure.

He must feel terrible exposed like this.

His anal treats continue with an enema.

Blake takes the precaution of removing his jeans for this bit. 

As you might expect, these fun activities are punctuated

 by a peppering of disciplinary CP...

Drew misses that protective fuzz of hair on his cheeks,

As a postscript to the anal extravaganza,

 Blake inserts a large plug between Drew's butt cheeks

It's a big one and Drew shies away, 

he clearly finds it intrusive and uncomfortable.

Nevertheless Blake uses it to tease him to a splashy finish.

Which isn't long in coming.

Mitchell's 'Cowboy Art' Folio - 4

 In this post, two previously unpublished images from the early days of Mitchell's 'Cowboy Folio.

Mitchell - Talk or be Branded!

A cowboy is stripped and tied to the posts of a horse stall in a barn. He is being

threatened with exceptionally painful persuasion if he continues to remain silent about what he knows.

But, even with the heat close behind his cheeks, he remains defiant.

His tormentor seems to be nursing an inappropriate response to the situation.

I used this horse-stall, restraint arrangement again in the whipping image, presented in the previous Cowboy Folio post No 3. The captive's private parts here are discreetly obscured by the dilapidated stall structure. If I redrew this today I'd probably show more, but I still find this sort of teasing concealment erotic.

The situation speaks for itself here but I've always been dissatisfied with the 'arms length' pose and the captor's lack of emotion in his face or body (if you don't count what's happening with his jeans). 

The captive too seems unreasonably calm considering his predicament.

I was experimenting with more varied faces here to indicate who is the goody and baddy.

 

Mitchell - Cowboy Branded at the Big 'H'

The 'Big H' is also the location for this image, but it's rebranded itself (pardon the pun) from being a horse-breeding establishment to a house of ill-repute for frustrated cowboys who can't get what they want from the gals who ply their trade at the local town Saloon. 

The decline of traditional ranching has thrown a lot of mature cowboys out of their jobs and many have been forced to turn to less glamourous ways of earning a crust. Those that turn up at the 'Big H' are attracted by the highly professional, business approach of the management which means they always get paid and don't get beaten up (unless they sign up for that). It's also one of the few establishments that offers mature men. It's a niche market, but a well-rewarded one. 

The flip side is a system of control that ensures only the selected few can carry the 'Big H' brand which is the customer's visible guarantee of quality when he get's down to brass tacks. It's a proper brand! The loyalty of the service providers is also secured by that mark of ownership that effectively prevents any moonlighting or defection to other establishments. Prevents them from changing their minds too.

This is a later drawing and shows more energetic and personal grappling which is closer to the reality of cattle branding. I originally drew the recipient pants-less and with his legs tied together like a steer, but reworked it for this publication to make the 'persuasion' more subtle. Once again his naughty bits are hidden, but from his reaction I imagine there's not much to see presently! 

Both these images date from the 80's as you might perceive from the moustache. The humorous slant is necessitated by the subject matter to some extent but also owes something to that era, when all gay magazines had cartoons, even the ultra-macho 'Drummer.' That characteristic was illustrated here at mitchmen recently in the mini series 'The Smithy' by Bud which also features a branding.

Classic Homoerotic Images 9 - Fred with Tires

 Herb Ritts photograph of 'Fred with Tires' must have been been one of the best known images of 1984 with posters of it adorning countless bedroom walls. For a gay man it's universal popularity was a public validation of their attraction to the naked, male form. The oil-smudged mechanic was unashamedly erotic with undone overalls barely covering his private parts and the plunging lines of his abdomen drawing the eye downwards towards them. At the same time his coy, awkwardness was immensely cute.

This image glamourised the lean, 'cut' physique style that broke away from the traditional, body-building stereotype of plush bulk, represented for years in popular culture by the middle-aged Charles Atlas. Ritts connections with the fashion industry and media played a part in making a muscular physique seem a 'must have' for a young man, widely desirable and attractive. 

40 years on, the butch eroticism seems less powerful. The inoffensive tameness was probably instrumental in it's success but there are 8 more photographs in the series, many of them much more sexy. 

Herb Ritts - Fred with tires No 4

You can see the rest at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. Their collection also has other images of Fred by Ritts, including the extraordinary, booted naked shower with 'Dan'.

The original image has come to define manliness and has inspired countless artist and photographers to copy the idea, those of Priapus of Milet (in Shooting the Past) and ASN, are both represented here at mitchmen blog. When these tributes appear they bring a fond, nostalgic smile to the lips of old-timers who were around at the time.

Tentacle Art by ErosisSFM

This marvellous image shows hero agent, Chris Redfield surprised by a mutant plant.

Somehow in the assault his uniform has been stripped from his body.

His weapons too have disappeared, all consumed by the plant.

Only his leather boots which lie on the ground before him have been rejected.

Perhaps because they are the only thing that has a tough, organic structure.

The grip of the powerful tentacle on his arms and thighs is strangely exciting

Many strange creatures stalk this forest and if one were to find him like this, helpless....

But already he is being drawn backwards into the maw of the plant. 

He can only hope that his organic make-up will cause the plant to spare him too.

 But then he feels the maw pressing at his back, drawing him in.

He feels it's presence seeping into him, spreading inside.

The plant has saved this delicacy of living, untainted flesh for last.

The despair and the darkness of the forest close in on him.
