The Art of Eddie Chin

Joyride by Eddie Chin

This image makes a neat postscript to the previous article. I like the clean, simple style of Eddie Chin's work. He frequently depicts media celebrities and the glittery highlights, which are a trademark of his style, are perhaps a wry comment on the adulation bestowed on them. However, I confess I don't recognise this man or understand the title (a movie perhaps?).

Eddie Chin - Golden Balls

This one's easy even without the title, it's a good likeness of David Beckham. Unlike the first picture there's no sense of modesty here and the depiction of the underwear is understated but intensely erotic. In a way that captures the ambiguous personality of the subject rather neatly. The clinical, plain white background sanitises the sensuality to a considerable degree.

Eddie Chin - Smooth Body Provocateur

G-strings, posing pouches and the like are not everyone's cup of tea but the artist's asian background (although he's located in the UK) allows him a different perspective on the garment. As beefcake goes I think this is a terrific picture, sexy and provocative as the title says. The mounded pecs and fabric disappearing between the legs are very nice details and I'm sure that foot doesn't go unnoticed by specialists either.

Eddie Chin - The Unfaithful Husband

Eddie seems to be returning to the 50's here with the posing pouch obviously a cover for the nudity implied by the scenario. For me the result is not unpleasing. The handsome guest's perilously splayed open legs seem all the more exposed by the scantiness of his garment down under. Sadly the artist leaves all that to the imagination with barely a cheek visible this time. The picture is clearly influencd by the art of  'Banksy' but the social satire is rather less complex.

Eddie Chin - Save Him If You Can (Slavery)

After seeing the careful negotiation of taboos in the previous examples of Chin's work, this picture (if not the censorship) comes as something of a shock despite the humour. That vicious, bamboo-like spike is straight out of Tagame's world and the nooselike neck restraint is hardly frivolous either. The traditional oil lamp (more middle eastern than far east I would say) has sinister connotations all it's own. The youth of the victim is a turn-off for me (I suspect this is another 'celebrity' that has passed me by).

 Eddie Chin - Captive

Something more calming. The routing of the chain connecting the ankle cuffs is a clever erotic touch and there's some nice highlighting of the leather pouch in this beefcake-y image. The broken spectacles give it a little more edge.

I enjoy Eddie's work, it leaves you wanting more and if you produce your own images it fires the imagination too. See more of Eddie Chin at Deviant Art

In Emergency Pull Down

 

Jimmy:  "Oh mum! I didn't hear you coming!"

Mum:  "Jimmy! Those are your brother's football socks!

I only just washed them and now you've getting them dirty again!"

"This is sooooo embarassing!"

Frankie:  "Sorry Officer, I was actually expecting someone else."

Policeman at the door:  "Is that so? Well you can cut out the' little boy' act sunshine!

We've had complaints!"

 "Wait a minute, do I know you?"

 "Whaddya mean Dad? - Of course I've got something underneath!"

("just keep still dick and he won't see anything.")

 

"Sorry Ranger, it was only for a quick pee, I'll cover up now."

(Why is the Ranger looking at my ass like that? 

.....oh shit, the friction.......I'm gonna cum....!)

 

"Well, now that you've caught me out, 

what are you going to do about it?

(it twitches)

.... Sir."

I'm on the train!

Budget cuts at the Ministry of Justice meant that convicted prisoners could no longer be transported to jail in private security vans. 

Giving up their seats on the train was seen as a useful first step in their rehabilitation.

I can't credit the man responsible for this splendid GIF, unfortunately.

.

Link - Train Ride To Crotchdorf

 

The artist 'Link' was rather more generous in his arrangements for transporting prisoners.

See also my A-Z article on 'Link' for another transport scenario

Mitchell - Mugger on a Train

This is an unfinished sketch I did many years ago in the days when railway carriages were not open with through gangways, as is universal now, but split into individual 12 seat compartments which were completely isolated (and completely private) between stops, affording opportunities for all sorts of nefarious deeds. 

This was an illustration from a story in which an over-confident mugger

 had the tables turned on him between stations. 

(Some of my readers may be able to deduce the geographic area 

from those distinctive carriage details)

It is readily re-envisaged as a prisoner transport scenario like those above, with an unscrupulous escort introducing the newly convicted youth to the predatory nature of the prison life that awaits him.

 

Blade - Pulling A Train

I don't think Blade intended this terrific drawing as a prisoner transport scene either, but it readily allows that interpretation. In this case, the repentant felon puts in a bit of community service on his way to the clink while his guard/escort turns a blind eye. 

The guard's grip on his oddly-shaped baton is a fairly obvious 'hidden eroticism' subterfuge, simulating the gripping of a dick. You might wonder why Blade bothered in a picture that is already very explicit, (including a rarely depicted foreskin). My guess is it's down to the dangling wrist loop, which suggests some sort of fluid emission - probably a step too far along the trail of allowable erotic imagery. 

If you discard my prisoner story overlay and view the picture afresh you can see that there's an equally interesting story here of a young man who likes the excitement of casual, rough sex (of a sort), being lured into something even rougher and much more dangerous, dark and forbidden. This is symbolised by the uniform (promising him discipline), the gloves (a barrier to intimate contact, coldness), the handcuffs and the wooden baton (suggesting the possibility of punishment too). 

The apparent indifference of this man to him (clearly faked, as we can see) is only increasing his appeal, of course. The dribbling baton-end signifies that this is where the young man can find ultimate satisfaction. 

Paradoxically, there's also an element of  'if only he would notice me' in the uniformed man's dreamy attitude, a frustrated desire quite at odds with his superficially powerful image. We've all been there, but in the more secretive era when Blade drew this, unrequited longing was an even more universal feeling. This perceptive realism tells you why Blade is so respected, you won't find this subtlety in Tom of Finland.

Surprisingly, I've never done an article on Blade for this blog, despite his significant role in the emergence of modern gay erotic art. There is an interesting similarity between the depiction of the squatting boy here and the style of Sean later.

 

YoMero 2 - Transformations and Other Art

 

YoMero - Donald

YoMero transformation scenarios including most of those I featured in Part 1 of this article are not always self explanatory but it's pretty obvious something of the sort has happened here. If you don't recognise the strange nautical garb with pretty red bow you might suspect a gender transformation going on but don't reach for the smelling salts just yet! The clue is in the title, this fairy tale transformation is in fact - was in fact - Donald Duck. I can't say I find this idea erotic on any level but I do like the end result with a hyper-masculine guy finding himself half-dressed in skimpy attire with distinctly feminine and childish flavours.

 There's a Mickey Mouse study too on YoMero's Deviant Art site.

Look out for Wonder Warrior if you can stomach the Implications.

 

YoMero - Do It

I'm not sure there's any transformation involved here but it's a nice picture and what seems to be more humiliation as the devil-angel places some shocking ideas in the mind of his victim, who looks as if he's still a bit wet behind the ears. The artist uses a different name to sign these pictures but I haven't worked out what it is yet.

YoMero - Mermans (sic)

Pure romance here as two (transformed?) boys cavort in the sea. 

Enjoying the freedom perhaps?

The background waves have a touch of Japanese art about them 

but the curly locks of the 'flying fish' are pure 50's retro
 (see this article on Quaintance)

YoMero -  In The Gym 1

This is more conventional erotica but it's nicely done. The subject matter and the neat shading style is reminiscent of the work of Harry Bush, although his works of tormented desire and body worship usually showed (or suggested) older men on the receiving end. YoMero's take is more innocent and charming.

I wonder what was going to go in the speech bubble?

YoMero 1 - Transformation Art

 YoMero - Black-o-matic

This picture is by a Mexican Artist called YoMero, who also goes by the name of 'Jesus-on-the Rocks'. It shows a man who has just been transformed from white to black in the Negr-o-matic chair. This process (completed successfully, the screen says) is attended by a substantial increase in body bulk both above and below the waist - I love his bulging chest and split shirt sleeves. The uniform of the chair operator is similar to that of a policeman but it's not clear if any coercion was involved in getting the subject into the chair (unless those gold bangles have magical restraining properties!)

 

YoMero - White To Black

This picture shows the process of transformation. There is no obvious causation this time but the outcome is the same. The consternation of the subjects in these two pictures as their new form becomes apparent reflects their surprise and confusion at a truly life-changing event rather than any dubious racial attitudes. (In any case if this is a humiliation to him it is entirely self-inflicted. A like for like retribution which is entirely appropriate and conforms to the spirit of traditional morality tales).

YoMero - Dreams Come True

 

The sense of innocent bewilderment is more obvious in this rather nice, Kafka-esque image where a (stereotypical) white boy awakes one morning to find himself black and the possessor of a ferocious tool. The title tells you that there's no funny business going on here but it does make you think about how you might react to such a challenging development!

YoMero - I Wish......

YoMero's benign intentions are made plain in this pair of pictures. A muscle guy makes a wish and the (black) genie of the lamp duly obliges, making his little buddy big and black, to the wish-maker's obvious delight. Maybe his pal will come round to the idea too or perhaps (like me) he finds the stereotypical template of his new being a little over-cooked. The element of control here isn't quite sadism but provides an interesting twist.

 YoMero - Goodbye my old me

YoMero's vision of black malehood in this picture could hardly be more flattering. He tones down the stereotyping just enough to produce a handsome, physically impressive and confident sexual being. It's a dramatic contrast to the awestruck, anxious boyishness of his former self. 

This cartooning style, slightly sensuous and just realistic enough to genuinely erotic is almost traditional in heterosexual porn (Eric Stanton for example). It's much less common in gay stuff, possibly because the mandatory gauche male in the supporting cast (as here) is not how we like to see ourselves.

 YoMero - Black Magic 1

There are more unfortunate stereotypes here (at least according to today's rules of political correctness). However, although these black 'natives' do not wear clothes they do have superior powers to the white man (in contrast to Tom of Finland's foray into Tarzan Land). You can guess by now what the fate of the trouserless explorer is to be and I suspect the trigger for the process is dangling right in front of him. Unfortunately I haven't found the illustration for that moment yet but I like this image anyway for it's expression of calm domination and anxious submission. 

My next post will cover this artist's other work,

Men Sharing Clothes 20 - Tight White Gym Vests

Phil Hancock

Big muscle and a cute face is a winning combination, Phil Hancock had both.

Serious body builders are sometimes wary of baring all, but have no qualms about puffing out their pecs for all and sundry to admire. Tucking them into a clinging vest shows off their shape and allows a glimpse of cute little nips. The dark edging and laurel leaf motif turns this garment into serious sports attire and it's sexy too. 

In this picture our model seems to be sensing a smell.
 Is it from the vest? Something oddly musky? An unfamiliar aftershave? 

Or perhaps a strangly familiar deodorant.
(can he remember who wears that particular one?)

..?

 

Christian Engels

.... here's the culprit, I suspect, looking rather guilty. 

Christian seems to have fewer inhibitions about strutting his stuff.
He's taken the trouble to smooth out some of the less flattering wrinkles
- or is he just a bigger man? 

The pretentious palatial setting and those unusual jeans make you wonder about someone's taste.

Actually we've seen the jeans before  in No 14 of this series

They've taken quite a hammering from different muscular masculine thighs straining their seams,
but at least they do look freshly laundered here - unlike the vest
.

Christian Engels

Here's the measure of the man within,
contemplating another successful shoot.

While on the other side of town, a boy ponders that elusive smell......

First Catch Your Rogue - 5 Hood Humiliated

Many of our local villains have tied try to rob me,
having heard I keep money in the house.

Most of them are the weedy, needy, sneaky sort - not very attractive.

So when I catch them I usually just give em a good dressing down

and send 'em packing.

Eddie was different, more rich boy layabout than villain..

His parents only gave him a small allowance, to encourage him to get a job

He spent it going to the gym, he was there every day, 

I admit he looks good, but he's not very tough, or very bright

So when he came by it was easy to catch him, just by locking the door

He wore a silly mask. I let him keep it on, but I knew it was Eddie 

He was terrified that I would tell his parents or the police

 So I was able to extract a bit of community service on the spot.

I gave him the chance to strip and show off his body to me

I even gave him a bottle of baby oil to use, I knew he'd like that.

He put on a very nice show for me

He'd been rummaging in my drawers before I caught him.
He'd found an old dildo and was going to steal it for his girlfriend.

 I hadn't seen it for years, so I didn't really mind.

I told him he ought try it out first, to see if it still worked. 

Like I told you he's not very bright.
I had to explain how to do it and he agreed eventually

- after I threatened to remove the mask.

Even with the baby oil it was a struggle for him, a total ass virgin. 

Fortunately I had some old amyl nitrate poppers too.
They'd gone off a bit but Eddie couldn't tell.

They made him droop of course, so then I dug out some Viagra

Together they did the trick.

After that there was no holding him back,
I shot my load and went to bed. Left him still at it.
Locked in of course

I just looked in on him this morning, he's still going strong,
Up all night probably. It's good stuff that Viagra.
I expect he'll still be up for it if I pop in after I've had breakfast.
I'll probably give him his clothes back when he goes down.

Maybe I'll let him keep the dildo too.

Home Alone (The Look of Nervous Anticipation)

More Wedge Art

A further selection of wedges and kindred devices from a variety of different artists.

 

Assphixiate's take on the wedge depicts good cheek penetration despite the blunt apex.

The intriguing neck restraint forcing the arching of the body is a very erotic embellishment.

The resultant trembling torso equally so.

 A lot of this imagery involves female doms and I've edited one out here to avoid causing offence to sensitive readers. I can't do the same for the antiquated chair I'm afraid. That aside there's a nice sense of helplessness about the victims pose. Artist not known to me.

 I don't know the artist behind this photo manip either. It's a little crude (the picture that is!) and the restraint overly complex, but the forcibly splayed legs make clear the purpose of the device, and suggest a downward pulling to augment the victim's own weight. 

The  tights (with an improbable frontal bulge) are a nice erotic touch

Not really a wedge at all. Blondbear's horse is conceived in the same spirit and exploits similar erotic triggers but without any of the danger or pain. 

Iskan's device appears to be a scrotum tickler rather than a true wedge,

but would doubtless be effective should the victim's restraints ever allow him to sit on it.

A Walk In The Black Forest (The Look of Wary Alertness)

 The Look - Wary

At first light Ranger Jim came across evidence of another Boy Scout camp.
They'd clearly lit a campfire here recently.

He looked around nervously.

He'd just endured three days of rope knotting practice and invasive nature projects
 before finally managing to grab his clothes and make a run for it.

He didn't want to be recaptured now and taken back for their last night barbecue.

Unfortunately it was at least 3 days walk to the nearest  Ranger Station,
He just had to hope none of them had got a badge for tracking.

Swimmer in Bondage (Art)

I like this idea (despite the youth of the celebrant). 

The arms channelled between the buttocks is an interesting touch if not quite in accord with the laws of physics. Light has some odd properties in this universe too, but the light and shade effects add greatly to the interest of the scene. 

The artist is Stevie but his shiny swimming trunks and tight bondage remind me of Boundex's art too.

I don't think Stevie has his own site but there is a selection of his work at xtcgm's Deviant Art gallery and you may be able to find more through links and associations there

 It looks like some bright spark has removed the artist's ID, why do people do that? Is it some sort of cultural communism where art belongs to everyone and no-one gets credit for what they produce? Or is it a pre-emptive plea of ignorance for breaching copyright?

Crucifixion of a Surfer

Sporting Losers - No 4 The Surfer

Mitchell SK05 - No Surfing Today

"The lifeguard down at Crucifix Beach is strange cove.

He takes a dim view of what he calls 'inappropriate beach attire', preferring his boys to wear baggy shorts. He especially hates skimpy briefs, describing them, somewhat enigmatically, as 'loin cloths' but I won't repeat what he calls the guys who wear them. 
 

He's a real disciplinarian too, he won't take any back-chat from the surfers and when the red flag is up he expects them to get out of the water and stay out. 
 

He has a vast repertoire of biblical guidance and warnings for young men who transgress. Even so none of the regulars were quite ready for what befell Sexy Simon the day he broke all the rules - with his usual panache."

~

This picture and story was originally posted in my 'Sporting Losers Series' 

which is now available in full at my Story Archive. View Mitchell's Sporting Losers.

The image owes something to Player's memorable surfer crucifixion but I have just realised that there's an even greater resemblance to a crucifixion drawing by Okawa although I didn't intentionally copy it, as far as I recall.

The significant ingredient mine and Okawa's have in common is the 'mini-wedge' between the legs, the looser restraint arrangement in my picture gives this unpleasant device fuller rein to torment the uncomfortable captive as his legs tire of lifting himself clear. I've added these two images to my collection on this subject 

(click on the 'riding the wedge' label at the foot of this post for more).

The Madahv picture of a man on the cross in my last post was the first time I have featured that artist here, but it's not the first time I have looked at crucifixion. By coincidence I have just revised a post for the letter 'C' in my A-Z of Fetish Artists featuring (among others) the artist Cyrano who specialises in this subject. Looking back I was surprised to find about a dozen other posts featuring imagery of the ordeal including my own collaboration with Hardman 'After The Storm'.
I have now introduced a 'crucified' label to make it easier to find them all (see foot of post).

GMBA - another resurrection

Madahv - Study for Boy on Cross

 During all the drama, while blogger was vacilating about nudity and sex, and almost unoticed, the longstanding male bondage art group, GMBA, was zapped for the umpteenth time. However, GMBA has begat more descendants than the most virlile of biblical heros and I have updated the link in the sidebar (right at the bottom!) to direct you to the latest incarnation.

 

 Klaus Von Brandenburg - Prisoner No2

Unfortunately every time this happens the archives are lost (and recommendations in my articles for reference material there become useless) but group members are already piling in with fresh stuff and I present a selection of the opening goodies here including Madahv's crucifixon study (top) and a splendid set by Klaus Von Brandenburg (above) whose technique seems to be advancing rapidly.

Nudity - As You Were!

Doh!

Panic over! Blogger has now reversed it's 'no nudity' plans so it's business as usual.

They cited fairness to people 'who express their identities through their sexuality' which seems a pretty good description of most gay men - and I don't mean that facetiously! My sentiments entirely.

Perhaps we've misjudged Google - or did they misjudge their users?

Blogger to end nudity

When I wrote about Charlie Hebdo and freedom of expression (above), I little thought that Google was about to withdraw that very privilege from us on their territory, but that is what they have now announced. 

 

From March 23 explicit nudity and sexual imagery will be banned on Blogger. 

(announcement text)

I can't say I was totally surprised by the announcement, Blogs are completely open to public view and Google's tolerance and defence of of explicit porn over the years has amazed me. However, the writing was on the wall when they started excluding it from search engine results. This storm has been brewing for some time, helped along by irrational feminists, resurgent religious enthusiasts of all flavours and anti-Western extremists who will chortle with glee at this sign of our Society taking up the typical defensive posture of banning everything deemed to be subversive.

The good news is that mitchmen will not disappear! 

Sometime after March 23rd, this blog will become 'private' 

unless I remove the explicit imagery. 

That would mean you would effectively have to join a membership to see it.

Even then I would still only be able to add vanilla content

HOWEVER

• My gateway blog  http://mitchmen2.blogspot.co.uk/ is not affected as I take care to keep it vanilla. It will always signpost you to my work.
• Likewise, if 'mitchmen2' goes down the drain, my domain name http://mitchmen.com will continue directing you to wherever I am
• My Yahoo! Group where I publish most of my own work is also unaffected by this announcement.

If you want to keep in touch with mitchmen, 

make a note of these addresses!

I am still considering my options for continuing the blog. 

These include going vanilla here (a big job of retrospective editing, but it would preserve my search engine rating and public 'face') 

or switching to another platform like tumblr (although, in the hands of Yahoo!, I fear may it go the same way before long). 

A third alternative is reverting to membership format which I suspect will become the new reality before too long. 

Comments and suggestions welcome.

 

Watch this space for announcements.

Meanwhile make a note of the fall-back route for finding me.

Ulf's Wedge

Ulf - Almost There (2013)

Ulf's take on the theme of 'riding the wedge' (click on label below the post for previous articles) treats it as an ancillary to the main action. Instead of a having a pointed apex, a wicked looking, metal, saw tooth strip is fixed to the top of the frame. The captive's legs are pulled forward, and it looks like they are attached to the front legs of the 'horse', which prevents him from supporting his own weight with them - as if the barbed wire binding were not restraint enough!

This is the first time I've featured Ulf, and it coincides with our arrival at the letter 'U' in my A-Z of fetish artists. Normally I don't cover CG art in this survey, but it's about time I covered this artist, so I plan to do a feature on him in the very near future.
