(Steamy, but not actually X-rated, images of hot men, though most are NSFW. Some plain talk about gay sexual practices, so not suitable for kids or the sexually modest.)
Homoerotic illustrator is how the Spanish graphic artist Kike Sorroche describes himself (in Spanish) on his Twitter page. His work includes art for its own sake (usually homoerotically tinged, sometimes sexually explicit), commercial art (often for gay-related organizations and causes), and cartoons (all, I think, gay-themed). He favors bearded men with muscular furry chests (much like himself, in fact), especially in leather, and in general can be characterized, in terms he uses of his work, as mucho-G (that is, really gay, given that the name of the letter G in Spanish is pronounced /ge/, close to gay in English). Publicity for his three-panel cartoons about the character Aday:
(#1)
(Aday’s adventures at the beach, mostly cruising in the dunes. Un chico entre las dunas is an allusion to Wakefield Poole’s landmark gay porn movie Boys in the Sand.)
Sorroche came to my attention yesterday, via a one-panel cartoon (in a series) that Mike McKinley sent me:
(#2)
A little hymn to analingus, in plain language ass-licking or rimming. This one has been supplied with English text, but normally his cartoons are in Spanish.
This particular strip, Tristán Dixit ‘Tristan (has) said’ (in Latin), stars the ginger-haired character Tristan, and what Tristan says is that red (hair) is gold (top of the line). The text in the Spanish version:
A veces me gusta pensar en cosas muy, muy profundas…
Mmm… ¡¡beso negro!!
from which we learn that Spanish slang for rimming is beso negro ‘black / dark kiss(ing)’.
Now, two commercial graphics, one for the “hard & fetish” gay bar Berlin Dark in Barcelona (an image showing a bit of testicle, but not the whole package) and one for Club Piss (showing a guy savoring piss in his mouth, but not showing the cock providing it):
(#3)
Meanwhile, Berlin has a number of Spanish-themed gay bars, featuring some Spanish decor and the fantasy of hot steamy Spanish sex (you know what Latin lovers are like!). What I don’t know is whether any of these Spain-in-Berlin establishments are also hard-core fetish bars.
(#4)
Club Piss is a Spanish organization that arranges piss parties in Barcelona and Madrid (and probably other cities as well). From the site: “Club Piss: Bienvenidos al primer club de piss play en España”, from which we learn that gay Spanish for piss play is piss play; it also turns out that gay Spanish for piss party is, yes, piss party, plural piss parties.
Next comes a image whose background I don’t know. This might have been created for a Spanish gay organization, or it might have been created on Sorroche’s own hook, as an expression of gay pride:
(#5)
There are also stand-along images, not part of a cartoon series and apparently not commercially sponsored: Sorroche’s personal art work, much of it drawings (some explicit) of men he fancies: gay pornstar Jonan Wolff, the model for his character Tristan, and so on. Here’s Jonan:
(#6)
Despite the name Wolff, the man is Spanish. Here he is in real life, displaying himself teasingly in his skivvies:
(#7)
Wolff is boyfriends with another gay pornstar, Axel Brooks (who is also Spanish).
