Chase Hostler

One of my favourite faces at present is Chase Hostler, whose blog (Chase in your face) I stumbled across this week. With his diminutive stature, he presents a curious mix of boyish innocence and hardness. Gifted with an admirable physique, his willowy hips give this simple beefcake picture a little extra something.

Connor

I'm currently showcasing Connor (above) at the main blog.

A recent addition to the Bound Guys stable of models, Connor has a innocent boyish face and a chunky, rugby build that sets off ropework very well. In this scene an innocent tourist is about to be kidnapped for ransom.

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.

Cops and ...........

Although I'm a Brit I've always preferred the US style of Cop uniform
and they feature in many of my pictures and stories.

It seems like boy's stuff, but the shoulder flashes, the epaulets, the patch pockets
and the chunky belt all accentuate the physical characteristics of the male body.


Shades add to the image of authority although these, worn by Bryce are a bit odd.

Not forgetting boots, handcuffs and a gun.
That's quite an armoury of memorable masculine paraphernalia
 before you even consider the man inside the uniform.

Time for a break

Mitchell is taking a break and leaving this bloke in charge, so behave yourselves while I'm away! Posting will resume in early October

Sun God

Nielsen - Sungod
My A-Z of artists reaches the letter 'N' next at the main mitchmen blog and as usual I select a 'nice' picture to launch proceedings. Sungod by Nielsen is hardy fetish art but the voluptuous treatment of the subject's body is exceedingly attractive and it's a beautiful invocation of manhood.
Mitchell's A-Z of Fetish Artists resumes soon at the blog.
