Welcome to mitchmen gateway
Welcome to mitchmen.com, home of Mitchell's Gay Art. 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.
(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!
Thank you for your interest and support.
Mitchell (Jan 2024).

In Japanese traditon, tattoos are associated with common 'day laborers', who lead a precarious existence. Atchery (kyu-jitsu) on the other hand, was a pursuit that required leaisure and was largely pursued by both the court nobility of the Heian Era and the bushi (samurai) class of the Kamakura (and later) Era. The juxtaposition of these contrasting elements certainly adds a soupcon of taboo-breaking by combining both ends of the cultural spectrum nto a single image. To traditional-minded Japanese, this image would strike them as bizzare. Only modern Japanese sesibilities could ever put the two together.
On further note, the arrow should be level; not angle up slightly.
Thanks for this interesting contribution.
On a further technical note, the gripping of the nock (the right hand) is entirely Western. Either a thumb ring or shooting glove would be used on the right. That would be an interesting addition, to be nearly naked, yet have the gloved right hand encased in leather, and ready to stroke his own biomechanical 'arrow'. Yoowwww!
