Ryan Pfluger
Some cool work over on the website of photographer Ryan Pfluger. I like a lot of the editorial projects more than the personal work, although "men i've met" has a few cocks in it, which is all good! lol.

It's ALL good!

GraffPorn - experimental style
I was going over my artwork that I have posted here on this blog, and I decided to mix two existing styles. I have the very sketch/paint style of the TEN series, and the rough lines and details of the GraffPorn style. I am quite happy with the result.
Based on a few real world sketches I did recently, this is titled J (in front of the mirror).
Please leave a comment and let me know what you think.
Barry the Beaver
Lowbrow art goes lowbrow lifestyle with the Barry the Beaver art toy, designed by San Francisco based artist Jeremy Fish.
Turn the tree stump and Barry begins to buzzzzzzzzzz. Not just a noise maker, this thing vibrates. The rest you can think up yourself...! Now where to put that tail?
Part of the Superfishal brand, produced by Upper Playground.

Steven Klein
Steven Klein's portfolio is sizzling hot.
He mixes all lens based media, photography and film. Check it.

Ricardo Fumanal
Ricardo Fumanal's work is fuckin' awesome! His style looks at first to be a little low-brow naive, but is immaculately engineered with detailed pencil work.
It's like a school boys sketchbook of total brain downloads, mental observations and brilliantly imagined madness! There are two portfolio PDFs to download from his site - so what are you waiting for?

I Know Where The Summer Goes
A favourite of mine is photographer Ryan McGinley. He is set to show new work at Team Gallery in his home town of New York, from April 3rd. The exhibition entitled I Know Where the Summer Goes is a collection of “snapshots”. McGinley has gone from being tagged the "hottest young photographer in town" to being considered a serious artist with a rare gift for creating enduring color photographs that show us the best sides of youthfulness.
In the summer of 2007, for example, McGinley travelled the USA with 16 models and 3 assistants. Over 4,000 rolls of film, the resulting 150,000 photographs were narrowed down to a body of 50 images. The inspiration for the project was drawn from amateur nudist photography of the 60s and early 70s. McGinley would sit with his models and look through all of the ephemera of the period that he had collected, discussing with them the mood that he was hoping to capture that day. McGinley had chosen a very specific itinerary that would bring his troop through the incredible range of landscapes that are available across the US and carefully planned a battery of activities, sometimes orchestrating the use of special effects. He has always been quite fond of fireworks and fog machines and in this new work they play a major role.
Boys, boys, boys
A few new favourites - which I have added to the links list already.
First up is Toxic Boy aka Mikel Marton who mixes high art, fashion and male porn, what a fine blend of inspirations. The work is really strong especially much of his digital photography. I like photographers who can pull together constructed realities.
I found the Toxic Boy site through the brilliant link pool of East Village Boys. The site reveals all sorts of treasures to be found around the internet, and delves into the minds of some great emerging art talent.

A Scopophilia Presentation...
Not really, I just wanted to play around with some type styles.
But it would be good, wouldn't it? I'll start making plans anyway... if anyone out there is a gallery owner I could do with the representation!
oh Eugen!
I'm not going to turn this blog into a site of the hottest men - there are enough of them already! But I am going to give Eugen Bauder a wink because he is so freaking hot!
He's so doable it should be illegal I tell ya! Tussled hair, pouty lips that you could sit on, amazing body that carries naturally well, looks hot in not many clothes and just as hot with clothes on. Which do you prefer?
Entangled
Haven't blogged for ages, haven't graffporn'd for ages either. Cos I've been a busy boy!
Thought I'd brush the old wacom off and have a doodle, and here is the result - titled "Entangled". Inspired by those moments of curious exploration of all the pits and protuberances ... you know the ones!

GraffPorn - a new art pt2
Thought I would expand my GraffPorn work today with this quick throw together of some guys getting it on. Any questions about my work feel free to leave a comment.
GraffPorn
The closet thing I can find to GraffPorn is this publication and online showcase of contemporary illustrators and designers: Grafuck.
"Grafuck is an annual publication featuring the latest erotic work from a diverse group of established and emerging international artists, illustration, photography, fine art and graphic design some together in this humourous, poignant, charming and provocative selection of images and ideas."
Shown here is a photomontage sculpture by Zip.

GraffPorn - a new art is born
I was messing around today and formulated an entirely new form of contemporary art - GraffPorn. It's a mix of pornographic imagery and graffiti aesthetic... stick with me...
If anyone knows of other artists working in this arena please let me know. BOOMx
