Welcome to mitchmen gateway
Welcome to mitchmen.com, home of Mitchell's Gay Art.
Thank you for your interest and support.
Mitchell (Jan 2024).
This is my permanent gateway site.
I usually post here once a month, art and photos in praise of male beauty, strictly vanilla.
There's a link in the sidebar to a small public gallery of vanilla drawings by me (gallery last updated Feb 2019).
If you have problems with the link please read this notice.
If you have problems with the link please read this notice.
You can find my more intense and frank work via my regular 'mitchmen' blog
(where I show my own pictures mixed with articles on other gay artists and images that excite me).
There's a 'Gallery Hub' tab at that blog which has onward links to:-
- All the official mitchmen galleries,
- The mitchmen mailing list (for the latest pictures and stories)
- The permanent mitchmen archive at Adonis Male.
I welcome comments from visitors but please avoid adult references,
I can't approve remarks which are not consistent with the vanilla format of this site
and unfortunately I can't edit your contributions!
Mitchell (Jan 2024).

Beach Bums by Mitchell
Mitchell - Beach Bums
This simple study of two men posing in their beach gear is a bit of a personal favourite. It's more simply drawn than some of my pictures and I thought the faces came out well. As you can see it was used in my S&M Clinic story, an ambitious project from 2008 which petered out halfway through, mostly because the story developed uncontrollably.
I have been actively considering returning to this series recently, the Clinic theme was always intended a loose framework for showcasing the possibilities of various medical procedures and there is plenty of material for additional departments. The real challenge is the unfinished storyline which I want to sort out at some point. Having tried my hand at a couple of complex stories I have developed great respect for writers of real literature who produce great epics fleshed out with interesting characters and evocative descriptions.

Cops and ...........
Although I'm a Brit I've always preferred the US style of Cop uniform
and they feature in many of my pictures and stories.

Sun God
Nielsen - Sungod
My A-Z of artists reaches the letter 'N' next at the main mitchmen blog and as usual I select a 'nice' picture to launch proceedings. Sungod by Nielsen is hardy fetish art but the voluptuous treatment of the subject's body is exceedingly attractive and it's a beautiful invocation of manhood.
Mitchell's A-Z of Fetish Artists resumes soon at the blog.

More Hairy Experiments
A rash of body hair suddenly appearing on this model's chest creates a surprisingly erotic effect, his designer stubble has been beefed up too but I think it's the change in eye colour which makes the second image so arresting. As though something strange is reaching out of the picture to you.
This is a more extreme transformation, I love the visual effect of hair swirling over a mans body and the ability it has to enhance his physique. This example shows the ageing effect or perhaps it would be more precise to say maturing effect.

Military Shorts
This period picture illustrates the ongoing themes of shorts and military discipline in the review of Royale Studios at Mitchell's main blog. Bizarre black humour too. Themes that are grist to the mill in Mitchell's Art as you can see if you visit my Yahoo Group.

Naval Shorts
My review of Royale Studio at mitchmen blog has reached nautical topics!
To accompany that here are some pictures of real RN sailors in white short uniforms.

Military Connections
A marvellous image of a soldier on the march to complement my 'Fortunes of War' story at the Yahoo Group and the Review of the, now defunct, 'Guys in Uniform' Studio at the blog. This is a well built man who would grace any clothing but I love the way his sleeves are rolled up an extra inch or so to show of his biceps, the framing of his neck by the neatly arranged shirt and not least the meticulously deformed beret. Mangling headgear is something of an art form in the armed forces, transforming a mundane slightly ridiculous garment into one that pleases and smoulders with character.
Someone asked what country do these men fight for? (see comments).
The answer is Holland, their equivalent of the marines and if you search images you'll discover they are a splendid body of men (see below)
I surrender! That ringed cap on the end of his gun looks lethal!

'mitchmen' blog restored
I am very happy to be able tell you that Google have restored my old 'mitchmen' blog with all it's archive of articles and pictures intact. The blog link in the sidebar now takes you to the original blog and I have added some posts there which complete the letter 'M' of my A-Z of Fetish Artists. I haven't decided the future of the replacement blog which I was constructing at Thumblogger but for the time being I have added a link to the small gallery of pictures I had assembled there. It may evolve into a shop where I can offer work for sale.

'Fortunes of War' starts at 'mitchmen'
-->
Mitchell - Soldiers Nightmare
It hadn't been an easy tour. The locals were at each others throats, crazy stuff. You'd never have thought they'd lived alongside each other for hundreds of years. We got in between them. We had to. Both sides thought we were helping their enemies. They were more than happy to vent their hatred on us. Non-violent protest they called it. That's a laugh! It's all in a days work for us. Confronting organised, angry civilian rioters. But it's a soldier's nightmare.
This is an extract from the first episode of Mitchell's story "Fortunes of War" which is being published in installments at the 'mitchmen' Yahoo Group.
Joining is free and you get access to a large collection of Mitchell's adult work.

Scene setting for Mitchell's Fortunes of War story
This picture of British soldiers on peacekeeping duties in a bleak urban landscape helps set the scene for my new mitchmen story, 'Fortunes of War'. The jaunty berets and macho hardware contribute to the imagery but I dispense with camouflage which (unsurprisingly!) is not conducive to clarity of detail in black and white drawn pictures.
Mitchell's 'Fortunes of War' starts at the Yahoo! Group in a few days.

More Verlato at mitchmen
I love this twisting, arching body and the army fatigues don't do any harm to the image either,
this is an artist who loves men.
Another striking image showing the male form to advantage.
This picture is less complex than others but equally surreal.

A new artist
I stumbled across this artist recently, new to me. I enjoy these depictions of soldiers, the tension of the bodies and drama in the poses is striking. Much of this artist's work is rather more surreal than this and you can see Dali in the sensual texturing of the bodies and the floating poses.
My next story at the Yahoo group has a military theme too. Should start soon.
See more by the artist in the next post and at Nicola Verlato

Workmen and builders
I came across this picture about a year ago and it really grabbed me. There's some fakery going on but I find the face and neck line exceedingly interesting. Builders and workmen are one of my long time fascinations (along with Rugby Players, Sailors etc etc... ..). A classic 'mitchmen' image! When I was a teenager I spent a summer studying chaps like this on a building site near my home. They feature heroically in my Press Gang story (posted at the Yahoo Group).
I can't remember where I found this image but if the owner gets in touch I'll give a credit.

Cops in Trouble
I have posted the new installment of the A-Z at the blog, the next artist calls himself moc.
. moc - Tight Shift - Caught

This is the first panel in a series called 'Tight Shift'. You can probably work out what happens to the unfortunate guards from the rope and handcuffs. moc has a nice clean style, I particularly like the faces. My full review with more illustrations is at the mitchmen blog.
