Wonder Queer Powers, Activate!
Flame Con returns! August 20 and 21, at the Times Square Sheraton, NYC.
For more details and tickets, visit flamecon.org.
I’ll be a free radical floating about the event both days, as opposed to setting up the traveling emporium in that over air-conditioned 70s extravaganza hotel ballroom. (Seriously, that carpet!) The redoubtable Doable Guys will have a selection of my comics available at their table. Stop by and peruse all their voluminously delicious offerings! Queer is lovely, but queer and kinky is where it’s at!
Of course, darling, I’ll definitely give you my own particular run-down after the event. Stay tuned.
If you’re going, smash the reply button and let me know. I’d love to say hi.
Until next time, flame on! 🔥

I mean, for how many centuries now have people been picking away at those lava-covered ruins? While finds like cool frescoes in a dining room garner coverage in major outlets, rarely does anyone discuss the amazing number of erotic works uncovered. Uncovered and then,...
One of the most wonderful spring rituals of the NYC area is the New York Botanical Garden’s Orchid Show. A fabulously steamy display of the sexiest flowers nature has to offer. You’ve got more sexual organs on display than even the wildest backroom. It’s on through April 21. If you’re in the area, check it out. Over the last couple of years, flowers have been showing up more and more in my paintings. So, on the occasion of my visit to this year’s extravaganza, I posed myself the question: why...
Darlings, how are you? Looking fabulous as always. Two juicy updates on my recent exploits at furthering my gay agenda. First, a naughty art show in the desert and then, a new chapter in the graphic novel. Two of my bois headed on a trip west for the Tucson Erotica art show running March 2-30. The show runs the entire month, punctuated with special events that look delicious. If you go, I hope you’ll share all the juicy details. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink. Sharing the walls with all the other...
