mitchmen Gateway: October 2026

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 (Jul 2026).

The Hold-Up by Hussar Studio

Two sailors, attacked by a thug, turn the tables and strip him of his leathers by Hussar Studio.

A Scene From 'The Hold-Up' by Hussar

In it's day, Hussar was at the cutting edge of gay, photographic art, transforming the stale clichés of physique photography into action scenes inspired by movie techniques. Their trademark, tight-fitting trousers and skimpy shorts presented the male form in a way that was more relatable to real life but outraged the authorities.

In 'The Hold-Up', two sailors are attacked by a thug but manage to turn the tables on him, stripping him of his leathers and knocking him out. You can read the whole story at the Royale/Hussar blog, photo-set 52 The Hold Up
