Small Town Super Boy!

A commission for a fan who requested Conner Kent in a pose similar to my fab cover drawing from 2009. Any time I've drawn the Kent farm I always like to include the windmill-thingy from the '78 SUPERMAN movie. Still one of the best superhero movies ever made.

Backstreet Dads!

This drawing is based on a Boylesque T.O. routine called "Backstreet Dads". The guys start out dressed as business suited fathers pushing their kids in strollers. The music kicks in, the Dads can't keep still and before you know it they're dancing in their underwear.

Summer Lovin'!

For me this has been the Summer of the Hipster. A lot of my weekends have been spent hanging out in the Queen West area of Toronto - known hang out for all the city's hipsteriest hipsters! At the pool they show off their tattooed, narrow-waisted hotness in square cut stylish trunks. And on the patios and in the parks it's all about trendy 50s style sunglasses, slim shorts and the hipster haircut (short on the sides and back, longish and slicked back on top). Also beards. I love scruff and the hipster look is very clean-cut scruff (an oxymoron? Probably. But hot is hot, oxymoronic or not).

Happy Summer!

The Men of Burlesque!

 As I was cleaning up my desk the other day I came across this batch of drawings from the Percy Katt session of Dr. Sketchy's. I love Percy's spaceman outfit (resembling as it does my own Jett Vector design). Percy has an absolutely amazing body, all long and lean with perfect chest and shoulders. I based these drawings on my rough sketches and tried to cartoon the heck out of his proportions and play with the straights and curves.

This last set of portraits was my attempt at capturing another Jett - Jett Adore, the no-pancer romancer from Chicago. I saw Jett perform again at this past summer's Burlesque festival and will be posting more drawings of him very soon. Incidentally, I don't know that I captured a good likeness, but I like the character in these so here they are :)

Summer Sketching

As much as I hate to admit to it -- I've been sorely neglecting my blog. This summer I have just not been drawing as many Bonesmen. It's a sad state of affairs, really. I've seen a lot of hot guys this summer, and recently sat down with the purpose of putting as many of them to paper as I possibly could. As a result there will be new updates on a semi-regular basis (Mondays and Thursdays) as I attempt to warm my way back into your hearts.
