Only YOU can…fill in the blank. Smokey at the Fair!

Posted on September 5, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Folsom, Dore and Pride aren’t the only fairs where you can see bears! Smokey is a traditional VIP at the annual Blackberry Festival in Covelo, California. Here, he greets an admirer and hangs with a bud from the forestry service.

Friend of this site Hector Silva has a nice write-up in The Advocate’s Artist Spotlight series. His realistically rendered drawings range from simple portraiture to explicitly kinky, very hot erotica. For the Christopher Harrity article click here, and for our dinner with Hector, click here.

Kook Both Ways

Posted on August 30, 2011 by | Leave a comment
