Dirty Little Drawings: The Queer Men's Erotic Art Workshop
Erotic Books - Erotic Comics

A visual experiment by a number of New York artists - intoxicating!
New York City six years ago - a small group of fourteen young restless gay artists joined forces. Frustrated that the drawing courses on offer only had nude models in academic poses they decide to take matters into their own hands. Thus the QUEER MEN'S EROTIC ART WORKSHOP was born! In the following years the group expanded to almost 100 gay artists and their collaboration proved to be quite fruitful. Together they produced around 12,000 drawings - DIRTY LITTLE DRAWINGS.











Dirty Little Drawings: The Queer Men's Erotic Art Workshop

This anthology is the outstanding result of this inspiring project. It is also a fascinating glimpse into New York's gay subculture on an impressive 320 pages. It's a very revealing book full of sexual tension and is a lovely slice of gay emancipation! This book will defi nitely make quite a splash!

  • Erotic Comics 2: A Graphic History from the Liberated '70s to the Internet...
    For over four decades, erotic comics have flourished around the world. Erotic Comics 2 examines how this budding art form exploded from the California comix scene to become an international publishing phenomenon. Beginning with an exploration of newly liberated American artists in the '70s, this overview examines the gay and lesbian comics scene, current artists and publishers in Europe, and Japanese erotica. After delving into the sexual mores of Japanese Hentai: from tentacle sex to Yaoi, the book looks to the future, where erotic comic creators are sidestepping legal issues by producing work solely for the Internet.
  • Unlimited Intimacy: Reflections on the Subculture of Barebacking...
    Barebacking—when gay men deliberately abandon condoms and embrace unprotected sex—has incited a great deal of shock, outrage, anger, and even disgust, but very little contemplation. Purposely flying in the face of decades of safe-sex campaigning and HIV/AIDS awareness initiatives, barebacking is unquestionably radical behavior, behavior that most people would rather condemn than understand. Thus the time is ripe for Unlimited Intimacy, Tim Dean’s riveting investigation into barebacking and the distinctive subculture that has grown around it.

    A good job of an impossible task, looking beyond the borders of North America, Australia and northern Europe to include people who have made important contributions from outside the gay and lesbian mainstream.
  • Bigger than life...
    Hardcore porn—both the straight and gay varieties—entered mainstream American culture in the 1970s as the sexual revolution swept away many of the cultural inhibitions and legal restraints on explicit sexual expression. The first porn movie ever to be reviewed by Variety, the entertainment industry’s leading trade journal, was Wakefield Poole’s Boys in the Sand (1971), a sexually-explicit gay movie shot on Fire Island with a budget of $4000. Moviegoers, celebrities and critics—both gay and straight—flocked to see Boys in the Sand when it opened in mainstream movie theaters in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Within a year, Deep Throat, a heterosexual hardcore feature opened to rave reviews and a huge box office—exceeding that of many mainstream Hollywood features.  
  • Bites...
    This is the pocketbook release of this successful 2005 title - a monument of 112 pages solely dedicated to meat, arousing portraits and close-ups of a gay man's best friend. In colour and black-and-white, uncomplicated, untamed and direct. Giovanni pays forthright homage to the male member in surprisingly multifaceted ways - whether cut or uncut, shaved or hairy, flaccid or erect...
