Dark Angel

Black Angel by 'Males Been'

 Angels pop up regularly in gay art, usually as the personification of purity, ripe for to be corrupted and thence moved into the 'fallen' category. This dark angel seems neither pure nor wicked. Instead he expresses an intensity of purpose which he is determined to share. In the art of Males Been black is the colour of liberated sexuality.

Speedo Heaven

Breyette - Alan in Swimming Trunks

 There's something special about swimming trunks, the cut, the texture...
Breyette has cleverly captured it in this picture.
The water stream cascading in the background is, ahem, 'skillfully' positioned.

Swimming pool steps also seem to capture the imagination of beefcake photographers. This artist has mirrored the sweeping curves of these modern hand rails in the arched shaping of the swimmer's body. It's almost as if they have life and are wrestling with him.

Compare that effect with this watery image by Breyette (from mitchmen blog)
