mitchmen Gateway: June 2023

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.

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!

Thank you for your interest and support.
Mitchell (Jan 2024).

Yellow

Ivan Gudkov by Serge Lee

I have a bit of a thing about swimming trunks.
Proper ones that look like swimming trunks, not underwear.

If they're skimpy and yellow, I'm hooked!

This pose highlights the brevity factor and vulnerabiliy

The little badge seems to add a frisson of importance.

The knotted waist cord looks a temptingly fragile defence.

Away from the prying eyes of beach goers
