Maurice Vellekoop

Maurice Vellekoop is a Canadian illustrator/artist whose work is totally irresistible, if not for its dreamy colors and textures, than for the wonderfully erotic guys who pop up again and again. His books Vellevision and ABC Book: A Homoerotic Primer are must-haves.

My Great Uncle’s Art

Last year I discovered that my late great uncle, who I never met, was an amazing artist and illustrator. His last name is the same as mine and his first name starts with an “F” and ends with a “rank.” In the interest of keeping relatives away from my pornography (not that I try all that hard to hide my identity, but whatever) I’m not posting any links to sites that reference his work, but feel free to Google, there’s a great Flickr stream dedicated to his stuff (which is where I culled these images).

Some of these files are quite large, so if you have a slow connection you may not want to click. I also posted a couple of my favorite details from the cutaways, but Wordpress keeps fucking up the order of my photos so it’s not immediately clear to which illustration they relate, but I’m sure you can figure it out:

Mighty Flame

Repost from old blog, 6/17/2007

I don’t think I’ve ever offended my boyfriend in quite the same way as when I confessed to him my attraction to this cartoon propane tank (above). He’s just my type – a short, stacked little tank of a dude. You can see him flaunting his decidedly sexy arms and legs at your local Sunoco gas station.

New for 2010: They updated the logo. Here’s the emasculated version:

Boo, hiss.

Collages are what I do when I’m bored and not writing. When I amass a bunch I send them to people through the mail.

And though these all are fairly recent I am in fact writing these days, on and off, quite possibly on a new book which may or may not end up being called “College Town USA.” It scares me to announce something like this just in case it ends up not happening, hence my burying it at the bottom of this post and not revealing any details about it aside from the fact that it will be a collection of erotic stories set in a, duh, college town.

Caleb Larsen

From Reuters:

A Tool to Deceive and Slaughter is an artwork by Caleb Larsen, currently for sale on eBay. If it hasn’t sold in the next couple of days — the minimum bid is $2,500 — it will go back on eBay. On the other hand, if it does sell, it will still go back on eBay. That’s what it does, as clearly explained in the legal contract accompanying the work:

Artist has created a work of art titled “A Tool to Deceive and Slaughter (2009)” (“the Artwork”) which consists of a black box that places itself for sale on the auction website “eBay” (the “Auction Venue”) every seven (7) days. The Artwork consists of the combination of the black box or cube, the electronics contained therein, and the concept that such a physical object “sells itself” every week.

Somebody recently bought it, and Slog interviewed him.
