Mitchell's Dishonest Gardener in Colour

Mitchell - My Dishonest Gardener
I occasionally experiment with colour in my pictures, this is a hand coloured version of my familiar 'masthead' picture of the dishonest gardener, secured in readiness for his disciplinary hearing. 
I took the opportunity to add an appropriate setting for him for this version of the picture.

The resulting picture has a completely different feel to the original 'gardener'
giving the felon a slightly more dismayed look.

If you want to see more of Mitchell's pictures you can view all of the ones posted at the mitchmen blog by clicking on the 'mitchpix' label below.

There's also a link to a small gallery of my personal favourites in the sidebar.

Another selection has been posted at my mitchmen.com page

Fetish Artist - Patrao

Patrao - Sketch of Writhing Man

I just discovered this artist whose blog contains some nice fetish imagery - but beware, it has also has females in some pictures. The writhing man, above, is my favourite, it has a tremendous sense of drama and real life masculinity.

Patrao - Punishment Sketch

This belting scene in the same agitated style is less dynamic but exudes a great sense of dominance and tearful submission. I think the sketching of the shirt is very clever.

Patrao - Prepared for Sale

Patrao exhibits a variety of styles and this is a more tidy, colourised picture with an interesting selection of men lined up for sale. I rather like the hairy hulk in the middle. If the composition looks lop-sided, you are right, it's part of a bigger scene with a woman in mediaeval dress inspecting the goods (fortunately cropped out by the artist). There's some good drawing of hands in this picture, Patrao it seems is no novice. The muscles are defined with tiny flicks of ink augmented by shadowing. The rib cage highlighting on the blond man is particularly nice.

Patrao - He looks so cute

Finally, another sketch on lined writing paper (a la Palanca!). It's quite hard to make a torso look muscular in this pose, in real life the rib cage tends to protrude, particularly on gym honed bodies with low levels of fat (see previous picture). It's erotic but in all of this work there is an over-riding sense that these are depictions of real men. Very nice.

The Power of Olive

If you're thinking of trying out the power of olive pants yourself beware! You may get more that you bargained for.

How else could a big butch man like this end up on his knees with his pants ripped open and looking so resentful. It's that Olive effect, mark my words!

There's no question that the curves of these pants enhance the shape of the man within. That middle seam straining upwards is great! A perfect subject for a newly acquired leather strap. But he seems to having doubts, as if he didn't plan for the evening to end this way.

These military recruits can't resist getting inside their comrade's olive shorts. This military spanking imagery has been around for a long time. Although the posing is rather stilted and the framing of the composition unsophisticated ,it remains amazingly potent. Some of this is down to the subject, the attractiveness of the participants and the quality of the photography, but for me those olive shorts matched with the model's skin colour add a layer of visual attractiveness that makes you remember the image and want to look at it again. I've yet to discover who made this series, it looks a bit like William Higgins' style.

A final word for Alex who launched us on this green sea of erotic desire by wearing a silly hat.

Men Sharing Clothes 11 - Olive Underwear

My search for examples of sexy olive underwear turned up a previously unnoticed example for my 'men sharing...' series where hunks are asked to pose in underwear previously used by other models.

Roddy, who I featured in a previous post is joined here by Brodie and Darwin in identical underpants.

.

Darwin

First up is Darwin who has the appearance of a chunky bruiser. 

This adds considerable spice to his submission to bondage.

.

Darwin

This legs up 'settee pose' is much favoured at Captured Guys, but it's more exposing than restrictive. Those underpants are being given a really intimate work-out by Darwin's chunky physique. 

Note the colour-toned throw, ladies.

 

Roddy

Next into action is Roddy who's looking very uncomfortable. 

Perhaps he's unhappy about sharing Darwin's underwear.

 His bedspread may be the dreaded beige but it provides the best backdrop out of these pictures. 
More of Roddy here but check him out at Captured Guys.

 

Brodie

 Brodie is not only cute, he has the happy knack of looking as though he might burst into tears at any moment. The underpants here show definite signs of having been worn by someone else with a bigger backside. How do you persuade a model to do that?

Brodie is 'captured' here by BareFootBound in a veritable spiders web of cord which could get quite a lot more uncomfortable with time. As far as I know it is not the same studio as Captured Guys (the source of my other 'men sharing' in this post) but I believe there are connections, making the apparent sharing of underwear resources rather intriguing.

Thanks to Captured Guys and BareFootBound for all the pix.

Hunks in Olives

Hard Labour

The erotic symbolism is none too subtle in this picture, but this guy would look great (and equally unruffled) in a black plastic bag. The picture illustrates the point I made last time about colour balance and exposures. The detailing of the jacket folds is crystal clear and I don't imagine I need to point out that the transparent quality of his (olive) briefs is well captured as well. In comparison his hair is just a black blob with no detail visible while his lighter-coloured boots are slightly over-exposed, the white seams starting to glare. You've probably been frustrated by the same effect when white jocks are photographed on dark skinned men and all the ribbing and texture 'glares out'.

Bend Over!

Hunky Edu Boxer bends over for us looking very masculine and comfortable in the classic olive brief and leaving us wishing for a little more exposure (and less severe cropping).

Hands Up!

Rusty Joiner's 'hands up' pose would suggest a POW scenario to me were it not for the intensely modern tailoring of his underwear. I've never quite understood what estate agents mean when they describe a property as 'deceptively spacious' but it might well apply to this little number. At first sight the broad waistband and overall proportions suggest Rusty is wearing ordinary underwear but if you check out the amount of tasty abdomen visible above the waistband you can see they are very skimpy indeed. A tight fit as well, the sprayed on look certainly attracts the eyes and sticky fingers but there ain't much room in that pouch. The seaming, shaped like an upward pointing arrow-head, is actually squashing every thing firmly together inside and is symbolically chopped off at the pointed end by the waistband. Ouch! Poor Rusty is undergoing a bizarre chastity punishment here - which certainly explains the attractive pleading look on his face.

Worn Out

No such problem here as another imaginary POW ponders his plumped-up pants after a hard day's slaving for his sadistic captors. One might wish for a little less 'faithfully-captured ribbing' and a little more of the transparency from our first labourer here but there's still plenty to get your teeth into.

Billy being tied up in Baggies

Billy from BareFootBound gets himself tied up. It's a totally erotic procedure for me. 
His arms are bent upwards giving an unrestricted view of his bottom. 
This slightly unnatural position suggests a degree of pressure is already being applied. 


His olive trunks are not a tight fit but still show his buttocks to good effect. 
The dust/staining on them suggests they've had plenty of hard use as working clothes.
 It may be that he didn't come out in them this morning, expecting to end up posing in them!
or perhaps he doesn't wear undies and the photographer's dusting rag has been pressed into service. 

Billy tests his wrist ties which look pretty substantial. His captor has also gagged him with neat white tape just to show who's in charge. Billy's hair is the classic military cut and the colour of his underwear also has army associations suggesting he has a degree of hardness and experience. 
The 'cut' of the pants shows off his fine thighs in this picture and the loose fit of the lower hem around his buttock positively invites further inspection.

I love the frightened rabbit look! Perhaps the gag was an unexpected development and he's wondering what other surprises might be in store. Well it's too late now to change his mind!
 Although Billy has a boyish face one can also imagine him as the 'leader of the gang'. 
He acquires tattoos in later pictures, not to mention some seriously sculpted muscles
 but this smoother, unspoilt body will appeal to lovers of innocence and purity. 
The opening in his trunks gapes enticingly.

The bondage master further demonstrates his control by turning Billy over onto his face and lifting his feet. This isn't strictly necessary for the tying of his ankles but it removes the process from Billy's view and makes it harder for him to pull his legs away. By deliberately positioning him like this, it is made clear to him that he is no longer simply 'allowing' himself to be tied up.

In this shot, the underpants form a beautiful array of curves and shadowing, giving bulk and shape to the body. I have a bit of a thing about the colour olive, but one it's virtues is that creases and other detail show up clearly in photographs. The mid-tone balances the skin colour so it gets the right exposure to show all this detail. In comparison, white trunks tend to glare while darker ones become a featureless blob. 

Billy is repositioned on the bed, which speaks for itself in terms of who is in control. 
It creates a nice, symbolic, curving line through his body into the hands of his tormentor. 
  
The twist of his body exposes a selection of highly-touchable, undefended, body areas. Thanks to the colour balancing, we can see clearly the subtle shading defining the sides of his abs, the tuck of material between his legs, the hair on his thighs and calves and so on. You can see what look like bleached areas on the underpants, suggesting a great deal of washing or perhaps it's some other sort of dried fluid, in which case let's hope it was Billy's own and not some other user's.

 The pure white ropes wound round Billy's chest pin his arms tight and provide an anchorage for the hog-tie, making a beautiful finishing touch as his captor contemplates his next move.
Billy wonders.
.
The crisp detail of the briefs in this image underlines the point about colour balance.
You may not be excited by the jumble of loose fabric in Billy's crotch
 but you can see that something is trying to push out of the fly opening.

Left hand down a bit, I predict.

Olive Patterns

Camouflage Underwear

I must say I do wonder about the logic of putting camouflage pattern on underpants. As you can see here, it renders the contents pretty much invisible - just as you would expect. Even the wearer seems perplexed about it - unless he's simply wondering where the rest of the uniform went. The intense colour emphasises the curves of the garment round his body. It also draws the eye in to the functional ribbing making him look inappropriately dressed - sexy! At the same time the earthy tone plays to his skin colour and body hair accentuating his masculinity.

Daisy Pattern Underwear

The second image is less overtly sexual in intent but it's arguably more effective. It shows a completely different type of man wearing a frivolous daisy pattern brief. It has no military overtones or butch associations. But the effect of the colour is the same, attracting the eye and flattering the model's bulk and curves. It seems to work particularly well on smooth fitting fabric like this, making you want to linger and touch him.

Cheeky Underwear

The final picture isn't a pattern (and not quite olive either) but I just wanted to post these fabulous cheeky curves! I know it's a fashion colour but the diabolical brown vest seems to demonstrate quite conclusively that earthy tones are not intrinsicaly sexy. However, I give the photographer 10 out of 10 for pairing the V-shape of the model's hairline with the hemline on his underpants. If he'd ditched the vest and used true olive briefs this picture would have been so sweet.
