Male Nude Drawings



Check out the great talent over at FortheLoveOfMan. The owner contacted me some time ago and I finally got time to post some of the drawings he sent me. He is also a fan of Harry Bush.

Athletic Model Guild and the Bob Mizer Foundation

Bob Mizer founded the Athletic Model Guild in 1945, operating out of his mother's house in Los Angeles, and published Physique Pictorial, which featured photographs and artwork celebrating the male physique. These have been the source materials for many artists like Harry Bush, Tom of Finland, George Quaintance and more and they continue to inspire.

The core of Bob Mizer's work, consisting of about one million photographic negatives and thousands of 16mm films and videotapes needs proper archival storage materials.

Please support the Bob Mizer Foundation with any donations via their Kickstarter project to protect and preserve this important part of history.

Read more about it and watch the video over at my friend Michael's blog Male Models Vintage Beefcake.

Physique Pictorial

Decided to spoil myself! Got me some vintage beefcake from my friend Michael over at his great blog Male Models Vintage Beefcake. Mostly for all the great drawings by Tom of Finland, Harry Bush and others, but the little books are a great source of inspiration for artists. Order some for yourself on Michael's Ebay Store BestMusicAndBooks before I buy all of them. Any other guys in South Africa that own similar treasures from AMG?

Homoerotic Art by Jürgen Wittdorf






























"Within the confines of the early 1960s government-controlled art scene of the GDR, Jürgen Wittdorf was miraculously able to publicly develop a historically unique group of homoerotic socialist woodblock prints and linocuts."

"Widely publicized and exhibited at the time, the Zyklus Für die Jugend (1960/61) works were criticized and demonized as "westernized" by the authorities, because Wittdorf sympathetically portrayed rebellious youth, in the shape of jeans-clad street kids and rockers (as later he would portray punks) instead of idealized young socialist party members. Widespread public acclaim especially from young audiences was however able to silence the criticism."

"In Jugend und Sport (1964) Wittdorf seems at first to placate his ideological critics by putting his models in more familiar socialist poses, but subverts the heroics by a surprisingly blatant (and in retrospect very witty) homoeroticism, proving either the naivety or open-mindedness of the state patrons and audiences of the time."

Male Zodiac Figurines














These sensual MALE ZODIAC figurines were sculpted by Pia Langelund, who has created other bisque porcelain figurines for Royal Copenhagen. The powerful and elegant series of male zodiac figurines capture the characteristics of each of the astrological signs of the Zodiac.
