BOO N TH' BOYS

Belasco Interview over at Boytoons!

Click on the link below the title to read the interview I did with the great Patrick Fillion, artist extraordinaire of the book "HOT CHOCOLATE" as well creator/publisher of of his own line of gay erotic comic books! They're like Marvel Comics...with fucking!
Anyway, it was a fun interview and part two will be posting shortly so be sure to check it out!

MMM MMM GOOD EATIN'!

Here's the color version of a piece I posted the black and white version of a month or three ago! I finished this one on Christmas break which should tell you how much I loooove the holidays! I especially like how the feet turned out (of course that would be my favorite part!) Sometimes I really enjoy using Photoshop to paint with, other times I just can't seem to get it together! Sheeesh! Oh, check out the new merchandise screen right...

In case you missed it...2007 BELASCO CALENDAR!

I've lost count over the years how many times I've been asked if I have a calendar for sale. Well, thanks to Zazzle, I finally have one! Ideally, calendars should be created and advertised around, oh, July, Aug...'Course, I finished mine the week before Christmas! Well my fans are very patient folks...they'd have to be with my slow ass, so anyway, here it is! Again, for those of you who don't look at the links section of this blog....

Boo and the Boys in color...

A few years ago there was an article about me in that Austrailian queer magazine, BLUE. It was a very nice article and I did a few original pieces for it. For some reason they only used the black and white version of this painting in the finished interview. It's one of the few drawings I've done that feature most of my charaters, some of whom are still in my head..the one above my neck, that is. Har har! Here it is now in all it's glory, so to speak...

When in doubt there's always...BOO!

Hadn't posted in a while 'cause of various and sundry thangs...yada yada...But figured I needed to touch base! But first, here's some Boo....

Ok, where wuz we? Let's see...I added a Belasco calendar to my Zazzle webstore. It can be found screen right with some other links to tee-shirts and prints. The Zazzle store also lets you put my designs on anything else you want that they offer like mugs 'n mousepads. The best part is they're the ones responsible for sendin' you the shit, not me! As a A.D.D. short attention span artist type, this arrangement is the best thing since gover'ment cheese!! So anywway, order the calendar, cause it's kinda nifty and if you hurry you'll get some use out of January before its over. I've already got ideas for 2008! Also, over at WWW.BOYTOONS.BLOGSPOT.COM, there's part one of a two part interview with yours truly (that would be ME...BELASCO? Ring a bell? No? Well, check it out anyways...). For you lovers of male erotic art it's the premiere blog/site for postings of homoerotic art, all organized by Patrick Fillion who's work some of you may have seen in Black Inches. ( I wanted that gig but they wouldn't let me draw penetration! lol) How Patrick manages to create and publish a line of comic books AND manage to post regularly to his blog is beyond me. Anyway, check that out. DId I mention BUY MY STUFF? Go the the links and buy some shit. 'Kay? Don't make me beg, y'all. Back with more updates in the new year...OH, right! Happy New Year! See what I mean about A.D.D.?

A LITTLE COLOR FOR THE HOLIDAYS...

BLASTS FROM THE PAST

I was going through some old files and found these. Two were Belasco's done from life which is rare. Usually, when I draw from life I don't stylize the drawing at all, but since these particular models looked like my drawings anyway, it wasn't a stretch to draw them in my more comic book-y style.

More Life Drawings

These are some sketches from the last life drawing session I attended held by my friend, Miguel Angel Reyes, a terrific painter/muralist here in Los Angeles. This model's name was Jose and he was great to draw. He had a very relaxed yet focused and professional demeanor. It helps that he's an artist/designer as well I think. Anyway, I hope to draw him again in 2007.

LIFE DRAWINGS

Random doodles from Sketchbook

In the midst of my pain...

I managed to ink this sketch I posted a few days ago. Not sure if I like how it turned out, but hey I was hopped up on pain pills...Nevertheless, enjoy!

New Artwork...

I wrenched my neck somehow this weekend so right now I look like I got rear ended and waiting for an ambulance chaser to show up. Ironically enough a year ago i was in a car accident that also fucked up my neck. Anyway, so while Im doped up on Aleve, Midol (hey it works) and some new fangled weed a new acquaintance turned me onto ( have you seen these new rolling papers that are made of something that looks like cellophane? I do declare! lol) I decided to post some artwork. Enjoy.

Some More Rough Sketches....

"Foot Gangsters" sketches

Here are three sketches I did for a recent comission. Can anyone spot the differences?

While Killing Time at the Tom of Finland Erotic Art Show...

...THE REST of the STORY

Well, this is the rest of the story I posted few weeks ago featuring the one and so far, only appearance of Braxton 'Brains' Bane. I guess he's in honor of all the freaky nerds I've known over the years and symbolic of my own love/hate relationship with dumb jocks. Beauty and no brains can be frustrating! A crass generalization I know (yeah, riiight) and definitely my own issue. But who needs therapy when you can draw porn???...
...ME THAT'S WHO!!!
Ahem, anyway, can you believe that I started this strip back in 1998?? I did the first couple of pages, then got lazy (who? Meee?) and shelved it. Like most things, I eventually get back around to finishing it. That's why you might notice that the earlier pages are done with tight inked lines and the more recent pages finished about 6 months ago have a looser quality. You should see all the half finished, 99% finished, and just getting started stuff I have in my studio. All in due time, I suppose...Anyway, I love mixing hot, horny, nasty black on black grime with a heavy dose of tongue in cheek. So hopefully this little trifle will tickle your funny bone. Oh, and please excuse the lettering. I can't letter for shit, and I don't even think I roughed out the dialogue on this one. However, when you draw stuff as nasty as I do, you don't have to be that finicky with the slickness factor. Ya'll know I can do slick when I want to. But this was a loose, silly thing I did to introduce a new character. It only took 8 years to finish...Oh, and another thing...Why does blogger scramble the order of the pictures when you upload them? That irritates the fuck out of me. Betta get ya act together, Blogger if you want to be bought up by Google. Or has that already happened...anyway, lata...and ENJOY
P.S.
In my earlier post of the first part of this story posted as "Finally...an Update", I forgot a page so check out the first part of this story down below.

NEW! BOO Tee-SHIRT!!!

Hey, while selling these at the Tom of Finland art show this weekend, I suddendly got the bright idea to offer them to you kind folks! Ok, I'm not the most entrepreneurial artist ever....Better late then never! Just click on the custom t-shirt thingie down below and order! Pretty simple. I saw a person who had bought this shirt last year and had washed it mutiple times and it looked great still, so I know they're of high quality. The great thing about this Zazzle thing is that you order the tee-shirt from THEM, and then they send me my cut. I don't have to worry about shipping and Fed-Ex and all that madness. If this works for all concerned, I'll do some calendars and whatnot. I already have ideas about more shirts I can do.

BOO

Finally an Update...!

So I'm a bad poster...i know, I know....Little did I know when I decided to start a blog that when you do so, you become like a whore who owes a pimp, no matter how busy life gets or how sore you get, you betta put out or the kids will tell you about it! Ok, so here is 1/4 of a story I've done that will someday be included in "Brothers of New Essex 2".Whenever THAT happens...lol... This story features a new character I came up with, kind of a freaky MENSA member/genius with nastiness on his mind. Hope y'all don't mind the copyright splashed across the top, but y'know there are pirates out in these here internet waters..I'll be posting more this month and next since things have slowed down for me in other areas of life. Oh, the Tom of Finland Erotic Art show was a blast as always here in L.A. I'll hopefully be attending the one in N.Y. in May, if so, I'll let ya'll know...take care
