Homeboy Art! Hector Silva at Tom of Finland Fair in WeHo
Friend of this site Hector Silva will be showing and selling his erotic “Homeboy Art” at the Tom of Finland Foundation’s 16th annual Art Fair. The Gay Highwaymen recently had dinner with Hector and his partner Napoleon at La Casita restaurant in Bell. Of course, snaps were shot. On our next LA trip, we will make a studio visit. Hector is a remarkable artist who is beginning to get the critical attention his work deserves, and collectors should pick up his work while it is still affordable. The Fair takes place Saturday, March 26th at the West Hollywood Park at 647 N. San Vicente Blvd. West Hollywood, California. Noon until 6pm.

Living on a Fault Line: SF Shibari Relief – Kinky Artists to benefit Quaked Japan
Last year, Chile. Last month, New Zealand. Last week, Japan and now its aftermath, ongoing. What next? Who knows. What now? Do what we each can. In that spirit, a loose group of kinky artists in San Francisco are presenting Shibari Relief: “We know what it’s like to live on a fault line.”
From their website: “Mark I Chester and Patti Beadles are organizing Shibari Relief. There will be a silent auction/sale and raffle of BDSM art, sexual art and other related items. There is no door fee, but a suggested $20+ donation can be given at the door. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. 100% of the proceeds will go to the American Red Cross earmarked for disaster relief in Japan.
As a special added bonus, anyone making a donation at the door will get a ticket to get two free digital pix taken by San Francisco gay radical sex photographer, Mark I Chester at his studio at 1229 Folsom St., just 1/2 block from Wicked Grounds, from 3-5pm during the fundraiser.”
Shibari Relief takes place in San Francisco at the kink-oriented Wicked Grounds Cafe at 289 8th St. on Sunday, March 27, 2011 from 2 – 5 pm.This is an all orientations and genders event. Artists who may be of particular interest to readers of this site include Mark I. Chester, Charles Gatewood and Michael Rosen.
Artists interested in contributing to the relief effort can contact Mark I. Chester through his website.

Richard Bolingbroke’s Personal Encounter with a Video Storm
San Francisco artist and friend of this site Richard Bolingbroke recently visited a video installation at the exhibit Breathed…Unsaid…Exploring Personal Encounters with Cultural Diaspora at San Francisco’s Somarts Gallery. He took photographs of his shadow playing across the screen to produce these King Lear-like images: a solitary figure in silhouette, seemingly struggling with the burden of power – or maybe just raging against the oncoming storm. For more on Bolingbroke and his more typical methods of art-making, click here and here.

Mid-century Japanese Batman Squirt-gun takes it up the Ass
Via a Toronto-based friend of this site who found it at the Batman-themed blog Batmania. This strange toy is circa 1966 and of Japanese manufacture. This husky bear of a Bat is a squirt-gun. The reservoir is accessed through a plug in his butt. To fire, pull the trigger between his legs and water will squirt out of his mouth. Seriously. More to come with a Batman themed slide show guest-curated by Kaspar.
