The Drunken Sailor

I have replaced the original gallery of my pictures with a new group, the link is in the sidebar.

I have also updated the gallery at my main blog with a new set (different from these).
Again the link is in the sidebar.

Fit Blokes

Mitchell - Fit Bloke

Occasionally I do draw straight-forward beefcake pictures. This man's balloon like pecs were probably based on a photograph that inspired me but I've never seen the point of slavishly reproducing someone else's art so I've finished the picture with this cartoony slant.

This is a stereotypical 'fit bloke' and I used this idea (and the picture) in my S&M Clinic story (2008) about a town-ful of men summoned for health assessments. You can find this story at my Yahoo group (link in side bar). I left this story incomplete at the time and am currently in the process of reviewing it and adding the final parts.

Look out for an announcement at the Yahoo! group

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.

Athletes Wrestling by Mitchell

Mitchell - Athlete Restrained
This is an early picture inspired by Tom of Finland's imagery. Wrestling is a good context for portraying the male form and strength. Originally published as part of a set called 'Inspired by Tom' which is available at Mitchell's 'mitchmen' Yahoo Group.

'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.
