With hooves and horns

(Male bodies, one full frontal, allusions to sex between men — not suitable for kids or the sexually modest.)

On the male art of the young NYC artist Todd Yeager (recently encountered in Pinterest, though his drawings have been featured in Advocate magazine several times). Especially devoted to faun / satyr / goat-god Pan images (you can pretty much smell the sex on them), male buttocks and penises, and loving male couples (and to chronicling his domestic life and the street life of NYC). Also to self-portraits of many kinds; well, he’s a good-looking hunky young man who can do pensive or flagrantly sexy, as it suits him. Here’s a sexy one: boots, buttocks, and profile (really big boots):


(#1) Self-portrait With Boots and Jock

Hooves and horns. Two of Yeager’s fantastical caprine works. First, a droll portrait:


(#2) Sunken Forest Satyr (featuring Kim David Smith), with top hat and testicles, mushrooms, and a snake

Then a dramatic same-sex (but mixed-species) kiss:


(#3) Storm at Sea (with a contrast of dark and light)

NYC (gay) street life. A slice of life: street hustler cruising for sex in the Meatpacking District:


(#4) James, Meat Packing District (the spelling brings out the fact that James is hustling his meat; none of this is subtle)

A winged man fantasy. A young (and musical) winged man, contemplating his arrow of desire (I’m assuming here that the Fine Art Exemption covers Cupid’s penis; I mean, this is an artwork on a classical subject):


(#5) Cupid 2.0, in whom light and dark are equally embodied (meanwhile, the stocking and shoelace are interesting touches, of color)

 

One Response to “With hooves and horns”

  1. Tim Evanson Says:

    Although portrayals of the Devil and demons in gay porn are quite common, years ago there was one that actually went a bit further than the standard “horns on the head” or red makeup motif.

    The filmmaker commissioned a pair of latex hooves. They fit like a shoe over the performer’s foot. While the Devil screwed his prize, the film cut away to show the hoof stomping on the ground.

    It wasn’t effective, but it was very different. (If I can track down the name of the film, I will let you know.)
