Art by David Angelo 1


 
 The vintage gay art of the sixties that was printed in beefcake magazines of the time often seems quite amateurish, however this example by David Angelo has a pleasing blend of technical accuracy and sensuality. 
 
Inevitably, the model is clad in a posing pouch, a garment that often attracts derision in our own time, but the artist's treatment gives us a sense of size inside and entrapment, a straining to escape that shows us how the men of the time really saw it. Something truly erotic. 

More on vintage pouches 

 Angelo's drawing is based on a photograph of course, the model's physique and face looks rather like the great Rick Wayne.

 

David Angelo - Gunslinger
 
Cowboys were big in popular culture in the sixties, replete with handsome heroes. Angelo has given this one another idealised treatment, with prominent pecs and nipples straining at his tight shirt. The gun belt fulfils a similar restraining role below the waist. This last detail was not pure invention....

David Angelo - Wrestlers

For this image of two wrestlers, Angelo has cleverly used the same stark lighting to cover up a bold erotic statement. 
 
One of the fighters is caught in a position where he's off-balance and vulnerable. His flimsy pouch inevitably draws the eye, but it's also attracted his opponent's hand. It's groping underneath, in the shadow of his groin. This hold has nothing to do with wrestling! 

In addition, the fighter in the foreground is totally naked, and the dark shadow that hides his far leg accentuates the impression that he's presenting his backside to us. 

It's not simply the sexuality that is so daring, it's the homosexuality. In 1960, just putting men together in a picture was suspect.
 
The lattice pattern in the corner is not part of Angelo's picture, it's part of an adjacent image in a magazine spread
 
 
David Angelo - Pop Star's Finale

In 1963 when this picture was published, pop music was starting to shed its veneer of respectability with Beatlemania converting music concerts into manic, adoration events. With its focus on young love, however, it was (and still is) relentlessly heterosexual. Not many pop stars dressed in transparent shirts and matador pants like this (not yet). 
 
Nevertheless, many gay artists tried to incorporate pop into their images. Tom of Finland's 'Ringo' openly sought to subvert the idea of straight entertainers and I suspect Angelo is doing that here too, by showing us his rear view, tensed above opened legs, raised up on tip toes. The singer seems to be ignoring his female fans, who are noisily lusting after his front profile. He's casting aside, too, the female shape of his guitar*. "Come and get me", he seems to be saying. To us, not them.
 
Ultimately these images fail to capture the magical attraction of pop stars, because away from the mic', he's just another bloke. I think I have seen art images of a star being seduced on stage, but I can't cite it at present. Sex in front of a horde of screaming women is a bit niche for me!
 
*The singer's own shape has interesting undulations at waist level, with an odd fit into his pants at the left. It's almost as if Angelo couldn't quite decide how slim, how masculine to make him look.
 
 
Angelo - Slave Auction 

Ever since Victorian times, the Slave Auction has been a 'go to' for artists seeking to portray gender power play and sexploitation in a semirespectable way. It fitted readily into the adoption of classical settings by gay artists seeking to avoid censure in the 50s and 60s. 
 
Angelo's Romanesque take has a very unusual night setting, giving him an opportunity to play with light effects*. The physiques of the two spectacularly muscular men who are manacled and up for sale, are greatly flattered by it - to the benefit of their value too, I suppose.  
 
A key ingredient in this scenario is the depiction of the slaves' emotions. One is proudly displaying himself, seemingly indifferent to the fate which might await him. His companion is, if anything, more muscular, but seems to be cast as a younger servant. He reaches forward, holding up the cloth which screens their groins (for the time being). 
 
The bidders we can see in the audience seem to have their own favourites, suggesting these two will not remain united after the sale.
 
*Angelo seems to have achieved this night effect using chalk or crayon on black paper. It gives something of an etched effect. Some of the detailing is spectacular - the creases of the toga for example. Unfortunately, his characterisation of the second slave, using voluminous hair and rounded cherub cheeks is very much of it's time and doesn't work for us, even if we believed in such improbable muscularity to go with it. With a man's head and face, the whole image would work much better.

otklad - AI Spanking Art 3


Two handsome men sit together in earnest discussion, one is dressed in athletic gear. On a makeshift log table before them lies a wooden spoon. I suppose it might signify the athlete coming last in his race, and they're discussing how he can improve. Cue another use for the wooden spoon. His hand is reaching towards it as if he's about to pass it to the other man, giving him permission to use it.
 
It's a wonderfully neat image, even by the standards of AI, with nice close up framing drawing attention to the athlete's open legs and the strings trailing over his bulge. Good-looking and tough, he's perfect for the spanking treatment hovering, unspoken, in the air. It doesn't really need a caption, but I like the picture so much that I wanted to embellish it with a slightly different slant...
 
It doesn't really look like an athlete with his trainer, not in this ultra-private, woodshed setting. It can't be a traditional father and son heart-to-heart, either. To me, this athlete looks like a man that can't be pushed around.  

 
An Extra Hard Bargain

My take on the scene visualises the athletic hunk as a jogger, intercepted on his routine, morning run, by a man who has enough charisma and chat up lines to entice him into his nearby den. Maybe it was cold and raining, so he was more easily persuaded. 
 
He soon notices the paddle, and his host dangles the carrot of financial gain for just a little pain, a reward for all his hard work in the gym. The money hooks him, gym fees are high, but he's cute enough to negotiate. His would-be punisher doesn't mind. His budget will be tested, but it's persuading the hunk to submit that turns him on, the swats are just the hot topping. He can compensate - fewer, but harder. It will be interesting to see how far the jogger's greed will take him, once he's feeling the heat. 
 
 
otklad - Public Spanking
 
otklad's own caption doesn't give much explanation, but it looks like a campsite and these two have obviously broken the rules. Antisocial behaviour, I suppose, because everyone will get to watch their come-uppance. The two men, who seem to be related, look out with bewilderment at the assembled audience, who are, no doubt, expressing their pleasure at being able to witness their humiliation. 
 
It's a nice composition, but inspired a very different scenario for me.
 
A Long Walk Home

Suitably chastised, the lads try a camping expedition on their own. They've picked a secluded area by a lake where they can get up to mischief and skinny-dip away from prying eyes and interfering busy bodies. 
 
Unfortunately, this is private land, and they are not the first to trespass on it. The landowner knows this is a favoured spot because he regularly finds campers rubbish there, so he makes it his business to check it. He's caught the two trespassers red-handed and bare-assed. There's a fine to pay, but they haven't got the money, so he sends them to get some, keeping their tent and gear as a guarantee.
 
For all I know, he spanked them too. 
 
Bare foot and scantily clad, they peer into the gathering gloom, imagining what terrors might await them amongst the sinister trees.  
One seems to be thinking that the men might be quite interesting. 
 
 

This scenario is pitched by otklad as a man being escorted into the privacy of the woods for a punishment that utilises the locally available materials. AI can produce lots of sequences like this that are of interest for how the participants are modelled. Regulars here won't be surprised to learn that it was the muscle hunk who caught my eye in this one. I suppose he does look as if he might be related to the man in front of him and able to leverage that to overcome the resistance of a fully grown man. However....
 
 
Hot Pursuit
 
Darren might be naive and inclined to count his chickens before they are hatched, but he's not innocent. You can't blame him for being attracted to the muscle hunk he spotted on one of his walks in the forest, both of them communing with nature. It was understandable too if he followed him to a clearing and watched him disrobe and exercise, unincumbered by the conventions, constraints and distractions of the gym. 
 
Things got a bit murkier when Darren started monitoring the clearing for return visits by his hunk and peeping at him on a regular basis. Confident in his seclusion, the hunk's 'performances' gradually became more and more arousing and Darren, watching, became increasingly excited and indiscreet. Inevitably, one day, his presence was noticed. 
 
Some muscle men enjoy being admired, but most would draw the line at unbridled lust. Darren hastily made his escape, thankful that he knew the byways of the forest so well that he could shake off the pursuit. Unfortunately, he forgot that there was only one track that led out. The hunk didn't need to be a brain surgeon to work out where to intercept him. 
 
 
The Wrong Trousers

otklad's original of this image is a conventional student spanking, centred on the sexy contrast of formal jacket and exposed underwear. Interestingly, he does not spell out Hawkin's answer. There only can be one, of course, but it signals his complete capitulation, having already been humiliated by the dropping of his trousers. 
 
I have adapted it to my pet fantasy at the moment - making grown men wear short trousers long after leaving education. It's become a condition of employment in many companies. A rule that gives the men the uncomfortable feeling that they are not yet regarded as 'grown ups'. 
 
I retained the Hawkins surname to associate the scene with his earlier days, but I don't know if his new boss has enough power to wield his cane on the employees bottoms or simply uses it to intimidate them. Making Hawkins return to his desk minus his trousers is humiliation enough for an adult.

Recent Art by Planet Gay

Presented to the Harem
 
An atmospheric image of a new arrival, anxiously appraising his new home and master. His new 'family' seem to be enjoying a candle-lit bath, unaware of the beautiful young man about to join them. Maybe it's not such a bad life after all.
 
United by Fate

It makes a nice picture, but I'm not quite sure what the logic is in chaining slaves up together like this, unless it's a frustration torment. But even in 'no hands' mode, they ought to be able to work something out eventually!
 
 
Musketeers

The three musketeers seems to be PG's current focus, and this image is a lift straight out of the 19th Century literature that inspired modern movies on the subject. The slightly sentimental staging, taking time out for a reunion, instead of focussing on getting the poor devil out, is very much of that era. 
 
An all male version of 'La Bohème' might finish like this, with the distraught comrades in arms standing at a respectful distance while the fated lovers bid a final farewell. 
 
In mitchmen land, the interpretation would be completely different, with the captive being told in no uncertain terms that he's there for the duration and that the guards have come to start his punishment. More Tosca than Bohème, in fact. Scarpia cutting out the middle woman and propositioning Cavardossi instead.
 

Games of Thrones 

This variant on the slavery theme of the first image has a more edgy feel. The captive looks a lot more mature and his chain is held personally by the King, not a guard, implying a very personal interest. 
 
The ostentatious wearing of a crown, coupled with the title, suggests politics is at the back of this situation, not domestic service. This prisoner is not a casual pick-up, a handsome man snatched from his usual job and pressed into the king's personal service. No, he is a defeated rival. A dangerous man to have in your bed, even if it is a very satisfying vengeance.
 
The dark, gothic decorating scheme here is a far cry from the splendour of picture 1 and bodes ill for conditions below stairs.
 
 
The Gladiators

The same theme is unexpectedly adapted to the Roman Arena here. Usually, beaten men meet their death here. End of. Still, you can't blame this victor for wanting to hang onto his hunky conquest. In the cruel way of this genre, he might well be one of his training buddies. 
 
Unfortunately, the lack of wounds might arouse the suspicion that there's a conspiracy going on. Notice the queer look another Gladiator is giving them. He won't be happy at them getting off scot-free. No fear, if Caesar suspects there hasn't been enough foul play, it'll be thumbs down for both of them.
 
 
Love against the wind 

The old beefcake books often included public statues of muscular men in their pages to underline their claim of artistic intent and legitimacy, back in the bad old days. They also drew on the ideas of classical Greece which furnished the idea of men being turned into stone as a punishment, sometimes with the possibility of being returned to fleshiness under the right conditions. 
 
Planet Gay gives us not just a statue, but two men turned into a statue, preserving their love for all time against the headwinds of fate. Planet Gay's blogging often has a 'Pride' angle and you can see it in this imagery. But it's a double-edged sword. I'm not sure if this is symbolic of enduring strength - or defiant defeat, with the lovers neutralised and relegated to being an interesting 'feature' in a corner of a garden. I suppose it's better than ending up sitting alone on a horse in the middle of a roundabout.

Etienne's 'Car Wash' Reinterpreted

A Clean Slave Is A Happy Slave

A while ago, I posted Planet Gay's AI makeover of the desert trek scene from Etienne's 'Sailor Beware'. Here he recreates a scene from 'Car Wash' by the same artist. 
 

In the original picture, signed by the artist, this scene was the middle section of a triptych of 3 related scenes which were joined together in a continuous panorama 


Apart from renaming the image, Planet Gay's version stays pretty faithful to the original composition, but he's taken out the military flavour, which, to be fair, is only indicated in the original by the sergeant's stripes on the far right and three, not very obvious, dog tags (see if you can spot them!). The overall result is impressive but less spectacularly so than his Sailor Beware image, which benefitted from having a less complicated, easily reproducible setting, i.e. a sandy desert. 
  

There also exists a colourised version, created by Hardtop (I believe). He added a figure at the right and left extremes to facilitate the creation of an animated, endlessly repeating sweep. The figure is derived from the operative in charge of the Body Scrub Station. I have to give him credit for a seamless alteration.  
 
 
Etienne produced a coloured version himself. The original hangs in the Etienne Auditorium at the Leather Archives & Museum in Chicago. This is a segment from it, otherwise the sheer width defies easy inspection on a computer screen. You can see quite a lot of detail has been lost in the process.
 
You'll notice, that he has left out the two figures to the left, the men holding the mop and a stick device. Strictly speaking, it is correct to omit them. Those two figures actually belong to a different station, not 'Body Scrub'....
 

 'Teeth Cleaning and Mouth Disinfecting' (clearly labelled as Station 2) is sandwiched in between the 'Rectal Flush' and 'Body Scrub' stations, which each have their own, eye-catching, restraint device. Arguably, Station 2 consists only of a single man with a toothbrush strapped to an irrigation device. The foreground figure with the mop might equally belong to Station 1 (see below), but it's tempting to imagine that disinfectant-soaked mop being thrust into the mouth of the unlucky client to his right! 
 

In this framing, Mr Mop doesn't really seem to be very closely involved with Station 1. He and his pants-packing buddy seem to be waiting, quite impatiently, to get stuck into the next unfortunate on the processing line. Or perhaps he's just the cleaner, having a fag while he waits to clean up the mess left by the other guys. They are obviously having a lot of fun and taking their time! 
 
You might be wondering at this point, if these are stations 1 and 2, surely there are two more stations on the right. Aren't there?
 
 
 
There are indeed two more stations to come, Station 3 - 'Body Scrub', which is the section re-imagined by Planet Gay, and the fourth station 'Lubrication' which presumably does have a number, but we can't see it, because it's hidden behind a tin of grease. 
 
You'll notice also that this device is not slotted neatly into the line, it stands forward, slightly angled. The angling is justified by the artist's desire to clearly show what the operative's hand is doing, but there is a distinct sense of it being squeezed in (the image, I mean, not just the hand!). 
 
By obscuring its number, Etienne seems to be deliberately adding to the confusion about the number of stations, but it is more likely that it was originally drawn as a separate image in its own right. It wouldn't have needed to be given a station number, then. Hence, the difference in style and inclusion of a supervisor. It might even have been the starting point for the whole idea. 
 
If you look back at the wide, panoramic view at the top of this post, there is a distinct sense of it becoming increasingly crowded from left to right and the distinct impression that the last station has been shoe-horned into a limited space. It seems that Etienne was working to a fixed length and when it came to fitting the last piece into the jigsaw, the last Station, he hadn't allowed quite enough space for it. Giving it a number was probably the last thing on his mind.
 
Leaving not enough space or too much is a common mistake for an artist and an easy one to make, especially if your creative juices are driven by the fantasy, but in a commercial context, it may not be forgiven. In his 'History of Gay Art', Felix Falkon criticised Etienne's tendency to not plan or finish his images properly. Nevertheless, he seems to have successfully salvaged this piece, and you might argue that the final structure creatively reflects the viewer's increasing erotic tension as he traverses the scene from left to right. Etienne was a genius and a flawed masterpiece is far better than uninspiring correctness.

The Suggestive Art of dures-annees

This artist's pictures are inspired by everyday life in a French provincial village, which is evoked vividly and comprehensively. But it's a version of the world where extreme traditional values still hold sway. Men have to submit to them and to anyone in authority, giving them whatever they demand. Many are obliged to wear short trousers to demonstrate their subservient position.
 
Dures-annees - Workmen Laying Cobbles
 
 Rustic crafts and traditions are still part of everyday life, here, but these are three of those men, trapped in adolescence, still wearing short trousers at the unchallengeable behest of their employers. 
 
Still talking about sex like kids too, in this scene. The clever bib and brace kit they have to wear may leave their legs naked and exposed, but the pockets keep everything else warm - and on the boil if they want! Dures-annees is French for hard years and the pun is intentional. We're talking cobbles here!
 
The French may not know the meaning of entrepreneur (according to ex-President Bush) but this one certainly knows the meaning of double entendre!
 
Dures-annees - Workmen fixing Roofs

 This is a job everyone looks up to, keeping a roof over our heads. Wearing shorts for the job has its pro's and con's, though. It allows ease of movement with nothing loose thing to catch on things, true, but they give little protection from sharp edges. 
 
 
Worse still, this sensitive man is not allowed to wear underwear beneath his shorts and he has noticed how certain men gather and gawp at his backside as he goes up the ladder. 
 
Wellingtons and shorts make a sexy combination*, but climbing a ladder in them isn't recommended for safety's sake!
 
 
Dures-Annees - Cutting Willow
 
 A young man, charged with cutting willow for the thatcher, hurries back to his master. He knows that if he lingers to talk and is late, his master will use one or more on his backside. His friend smiles, secretly wishing he might be there to watch it.
 
 
Dures-annees - Labouring in the Fields
 
Labouring in the fields is a typical part of French rural life. 
This farmhand has been singled out to work in tight shorts in all weathers. As he labours, he is closely scrutinised. 
 
The artist says:-  
"The labour is hard, but slacking off is quickly corrected. A stick is never far away to stimulate flagging enthusiasm". 
 
There are two contenders for 'stimulation' in this image, the one who isn't working and the one who is distracting him! 
That's how it works!

 
dures-annees - Sounded like a Great Spanking!
 
Village life has no anonymity, unfortunately. An embarrassed youth receives commiserations and congratulations from an amused neighbour, who overheard him being spanked. That's why he isn't actually riding his bike today.
 
The bystander with a guitar, seems to be providing a musical commentary like a bad staging of Shakespeare. AI seems to have a bizarre sense of humour sometimes.
  
 
dures-annees - The Breeding Bull
 
The artist presents this image with the wry caption, 
'July's work is breeding the large and small livestock'*
 
The farmer thanks the Bull's owner for his services:- "In ten months I shall have a new batch of calves, but I can't sit down any more!"
 
To which the Bull's owner replies, "That's normal, I used the same size on your buttocks as your cows. Don't worry, in three days you won't feel anything, and I'll come back to see you again". 
  
* The author also gives a lengthy quote from 'Palladius's Rural Economy' about the need to keep the cows in good condition so they can be bred each year. Literary quotes, wise sayings and fables are included in many of dures-annees posts, contrasting with his earthy narratives. They add depth, authenticity and coherence to the picture he weaves of a real rural community still practicing traditional values. It shows a pride in literary skill that seems very French 
 
 
dures-annees - Still in Shorts
 
At the packing factory, a worker, still in his apprentice shorts after three years, complains to a colleague that his boss won't give him promotion to full worker status because he can't afford it.
 
Unfortunately, alternative employment opportunities are scarce in this community so he must continue to endure the groping of fellow workers and occasional spankings that his mandatory shorts seem to attract, like a magnet for idle hands.
 
 
dures-annees - Punished for Lust
 
Older workers fare little better. At the Saw Mill, an operative explains to a friend that the boss saw him eyeing his daughter and didn't like it, so he made him wear a chastity cage (and shorts) for a month, or else lose his job. 
 
His (surprisingly knowledgeable) friend observes that 'it' will start leaking after a while, but apparently it already is. He reassuringly predicts that his colleague's dick will end up permanently shrivelled, like a hamster's.

The author's cryptic motto is:-
"In business, the art of leadership is all about using conjecture".
 
 
 
dures-annees - Soldiers on Leave
 
Even men in the military may be required to dress in short pants, including when they go home on leave. The pleasure of returning to camp and being reunited with their comrades is coloured by the knowledge that their customary lot of physical ordeals and injustices will also resume. Which in this world means corporal punishment and sexual services.
 
 
dures-annees - After The Fête
  
Military life is full of constraints. When you are surrounded by young men in revealing shorts, it's only natural to fraternise and want to take the best ones back to meet your comrades cooped up at base. 
See 'Back to Barracks' at 'X'
 
 The artist's own caption is more philosophical. "Returning home after the celebration is not part of it sometimes, but remembered only by others".
 


dures-annees - The Mature Altar Boy

Religion is a big part of life in this village, and the artist takes a typically French, contrarian view of recent church scandals. 
 
The priest thanks a villager who has agreed to return as his altar boy. They agree he should wear nothing under his cassock, just as was their custom in the old days. The new altar boy is obviously relishing already, the prospect of new adventures in the crypt! 
 
You have to feel sorry for the priest, this liaison may be legal, but it's still not in keeping with his vows. Being offered access to a hunk in shorts as brief as this would test the willpower of any man with gay leanings! 
 
see also The Priest's Temptation at 'X'
 
 

dures-annees - The Best Equipped Win The Ball

Other men find their own opportunities to do good deeds as they fill their spare time, making the best of having to wear shorts.

The artist invents a suitably ambiguous saying to the effect of 
"When you play near water, it is he who is the best equipped that gets the ball"
 
I find this character's, oddly retro look, curiously attractive. I expect he'll be off to the local cruising area when he's finished impressing the kids.
 
Winter weather provides a great foil for making the wearing of shorts more testing. Dures-annees matches all his posts to the changing seasons and religious calendar. That alignment is lost, of course, when reading his blog retrospectively, but the sequential rhythm of the year is preserved, amplifying the countryside feel and giving perceptive readers a pleasantly immersive experience.   
 
 
dures-annees - Those Who Dare Win The Ball
 
This variant opines that it's the one who is willing to strip down to his underwear that gets the ball. The hero of the hour here is not just retrieving it, but splashing around in the water and playing with it to impress the youngsters with his wet-ball skills. 
 
There's no sign of his discarded shorts. Let's hope there isn't a mischief-maker who has hidden them, he'll need them if his underwear gets wet! In fact, it looks as if it might have done already. He'll have to go cruising to dry them out. I'm sure his boldness will be appreciated there !
 

dures-annees - Drug Mule

When he's not being literary, this artist can be shockingly blunt and simultaneously witty. He titled this post:-
 
"Narco Transit – The Underbelly of Drug Trafficking". 
 
– Come on, push! It's not hard to poop out a bag of powder! 
– That's easy to say! It's not coming! 
– Then get up and bend over! I'll get it out myself! 
– No, wait, I think it's coming now!
 
(This is as the author wrote it. I've sightly adjusted the language).
 
On a more subtle level, I love the power play here, the butch builder being manipulated by his cunning young dealer to the extent that he submits to taking off his pants or shorts at his place of work and squatting to unload and hand over his package. That proves to be embarrassingly hard, and he panics at the thought of being given a hand with it.  There's a companion piece for this with an even more vivid text.
 
The freely available AI engines are notorious for blocking attempts to produce rude pictures. Lacking an overall, real intelligence though, they are inconsistent and can be tricked with clever words into going round the rules. I'd love to know how dures-annees persuaded this one to produce an uncovered back end.


dures-annees - Cruising Area (The Spirit of Sodomy)

No gay man could mistake what this image depicts. The artist paints this as a place where two lovers have been taken by a more knowledgeable acquaintance, so they can enjoy their attraction to each other to its fullest. He says it is the 'Spirit of Sodomy' to give in abundance what one wants to give. 
 
Here no-one will see and no one will hear the noise of penetration. It's a place where they don't have to worry about hostile intruders, since there is always someone around who hasn't clicked, keeping watch. You just have to be quick when the alarm is sounded. 
 

 Dures-annees work is a master class on transforming pretty but erotically limited AI-images into something more punchy by adding an interesting and sexy storyline. It's something I try to do myself with captioned versions, some of which are linked into this post.

Vie de Campagne

It's in French, as you would expect, but can be translated easily with Google Translate if you lack the full language skills. A somewhat tedious process and his colloquialisms cause confusion, but it's worth the effort, if only for the hidden shock value of some of his storylines.
