"Sir Yes Sir" JoJo Mendoco 2011
This good boy is presenting himself in slave position number one. A ginger otter, expect him to return demonstrating positions two through five. He needs a name. Any ideas? He wears the number 15. A sporting lad perhaps. Or could it be a reference to The 15 Association? From JoJo Mendoco, 2011.

Fukya! JoJo Mendoco c2011
“Let’s enjoy G-Men’s way.” New from JoJo Mendoco. This one is directly inspired by the Japanese G-Men series. Mainly manga for gay men, G-Men focuses on Bara (Bears), Gaten-Kai (Blue-Collar Men) and other masculine types. G-Men features photographic material as well as cartoons and personal ads. Mangaka (manga artist) Gengorah Tagame is a driving force behind this hot series. More on him soon. Very visual in its impact, no reading knowledge of Japanese is needed to enjoy G-Men’s way!

This is new from JoJo Mendoco. “XV.1” 2011. Mixed media on paper. Based on a drawing from 1989 by “Les” for the 15 Association, San Francisco. Influenced by Japanese Manga forms and European and American 20th century gay erotic artists. Want more? For a red-headed bukake boy, click here; for a hot two-on-one: here.
This from artist Don Chooi over at Bearotic, the entertainment site for “bears and the furry at heart.” Note that there is NO sign saying “Don’t feed the bears.” So it MUST be alright…
Gung Hay Fat Choy!
Better the carrot than the stick. OTOH, the stick can be a good thing, too! For more happy new year of the sexy rabbits: here, here and here.
Bara Bunny
Big Black Bara has his way with scared little white whabbit. Japan and China meet, and not for the first time. Italy watches, takes notes. America looks on. Happy New Year 4079…or 2011. Depending.
Year of the Rabbit
Happy New Year 4079! Rabbits signify virility in many Asian cultures because of their notorious propensity to breed. Vigor! Ardor! Potency! That’s about what “Dead Rabbits” meant in 19th c. NYC. Not such a strange name for a street gang after all. It would translate to “straight-up fucker” in today’s lexicon. I am DEAD serious.

It’s not such a small world, after all. This ciao! to the new year is from Awakening Art, the site of an Italian illustrator who makes, collects and promotes gay erotic comics and illustrations. Many, like this one, are influenced by the Japanese manga genres of Yaoi, or boy’s love, and Bara, or Gai Comi, which features older, tougher characters and scenarios. The term Bara probably came from Bara Kei or Ordeal by Roses, the title of a 1961 book of semi-nude images of gay author Yukio Mishima by photographer Eikoh Hosoe. Barazoku was the first mainstream gay magazine in Asia, and began publication in 1971. And since the 1980s, the term bara-eiga or rose film has been used to describe gay cinema. Look forward to some genuine Japanese Bara on this site in 2011. Meantime, open up, enjoy the ride…and pop a cork! Ciao!
