Flying Suits and Bar Sex

Regular readers will know of my admiration for Tom of Finland's work which has long inspired me and plenty of others in the world of gay erotic art. When I saw this image from 'Mr S' promoting their new flying suit I was immediately reminded of Tom's mini-series of two bikers who spot an irresistible hunk at a bar and grope him (below).


The surprised look of the unsuspecting target in Tom's picture is priceless but the portrayal of the nearest biker, bursting out of his clothes (just like the men in yesterday's post) simply oozes sex.


The Mr S flying suit features zips in various interesting places and here provides an equally sexy rear view of their quarry, seeming to retell Tom's story in a way and filling in the thoughts of the two bikers pursuing their prey.

I can't resist pointing out that the flying suit featured here is olive green in colour. I didn't intentionally place this article so hot on the heels of my series of posts praising olive underwear but doesn't the colour frame that sexy ass well! Incidentally, if you follow the link above you will see that the search picks up another older article which I had overlooked showing Colton Steele being spanked in olive underwear at Bound Gods.

Tomorrow I will post more of the flying suit 'story'

Thanks to Mr S for the pictures.

Tied Jocks

Tied Jocks by ?
I don't normally get excited over this type of art, you can have too much of gritted teeth and raised eyebrows, but I do like this picture. The bulging white T-shirts and shorts are right up my alley and there could be a rugby theme going on here. The obvious joke doesn't seem to go anywhere but I love the idea of muscle jocks having to wear team kit which is nowhere near big enough for them. I do not know who the artist is, can any of my readers help out?

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
(again, click on the 'mitchpix' label there).

Finally, nearly all of my published pictures are displayed
at my mitchmen club at Adonis Male, details in Galleries tab at the top.

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.

There are more pictures on Patrao's blog bdsmMaleDrawings

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. 
Green loves him. Have a look at his portfolio at 8Alex8 at model mahem

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.
.
Roddy
 Roddy in matching pose to Darwin's, flashing his feet and showing his bottom.
 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. More of Brodie here

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.
