“HOLY HOMO COMICS, DUDE!!!”

Antebellum is proud to present ToonFetish, an exhibition of Gay erotic comic & illustrated art.

“KABOOM!!”

Over the past 25 years, the medium of illustrative storytelling has exploded far beyond the realm of “disposable kiddie entertainment”. Whether mainstream or alternative, comics are now a respected art form that features an endless array of illustration styles and diverse subject matter including adult fantasy, erotic & fetish themes.

“THANKS, DADDY!”

40 years after pioneer Tom of Finland blazed the trail with his “dirty drawings”, a whole new generation of artists carry gay erotic illustration into the new millennium. These artists who could, and in many cases do, work in the mainstream, have chosen to use their formidable talents to create images and stories that express themselves erotically. Unabashed, unapologetic and definitely “UN-PC”, they're putting their imaginations on paper for all to enjoy. From single image pinups, to fantasy and science fiction adventures to everyday erotic tales.

“2D FANTASY FUEL!”

Gay erotic comics not only reflect existing fetishes and types in real life, but now influence and add to the gallery of arousing archetypes. Sexy Manga Boys, Nasty Skatepunks, Slutty Spacestuds, Superhung Superheroes and “curiously hot” Otherworldly Creatures have seeped into the fantasies of many a comic reader. “Toons” have now become a fetish unto themselves.

“THIS IS A JOB FOR…"

As creator of “G-MAN” and “CHELSEA BOYS” books, internationally renown artist Glen Hanson leads the pack in this field. Together with legendary fetish and fashion photographer Rick Castro, they have put together TOONFETISH!, a show that will feature some of the hottest artists working in this field today including-

Drubskin, from San Diego, CA, Dronio, from Bologna, Italy, Justin Hall, from San Francisco, CA, Zart from Athens, Greece, Savieri, from Melbourne, Australia, Patrick Fillion from Vancouver, Canada and many more!

“SPURT!!”

ToonFetish explodes in Hollywood with kickass drawing salons and events throughout the show's — run by the artists themselves!
