Bearflavoured

The book Bearflavoured brings together over 30 international designers and artists from different disciplines including illustration, photography, fashion and fine art.

The contributors come from a wide variety of geographical regions - places as diverse as Western Australia, Finland, Italy and Siberia.

Most of the book is a celebration of the hirsute, stocky male ideal, but some of the connections are less obvious and left for the viewer to discover. The work varies from the cute and cuddly to the thought provoking.

Bearflavoured is available to buy online from 1 October 2007.

Karim Konrad and his Berlin Gay Mates

Visionary young German photographer Karim Konrad paints an intimate portrait of his relationship with the city of Berlin and the men that inhabit in his cheeky and playful book Berlin Gay Mates

Featuring a veritable manscape of Berlin’s most beautiful boys in the most colourful and whimsical of settings, Berlin Gay Mates exhales the quirky essence of Karim Konrad’s parade of German beauties with intoxicating results.

Flipping through page after page of boys with piercings, boys in wigs, boys in bathtubs, boys with Prince Alberts and so on and forth will not only leave you with a highly revved up libido, it might just find you booking a ticket to Berlin in a trancelike state.



Think a less kitsch and more porny Pierre et Gilles.

Zachary Quinto

Like many others I have fallen under the spell of fantastic US TV series Heroes - and have been struck by the extraordinary charms of Zachary Quinto, who plays the dangerously disturbed Gabriel 'Sylar' Gray.

Quinto has recently been signed to play the young Mr Spock in a forthcoming Star Trek movie - a role he was clearly born to play. Except Leonard Nimmoy never looked so good, that is.


Joe Oppedisano

I've mentioned the photographic work of Joe Oppedisano and his fantastic book Testosterone before - here are some more shots.

Mike Smarro

Up and coming Fort Lauderdale photographer Mike Smarro has a good eye for a manly man. His portfolio reveals a photographer with a real interest in muscle and bears.

Oh, and he does landscapes and stuff too.
