MANHUNT Daily

Drawn To You: Nickie

Who exactly is this Nickie character? We couldn't really tell you much about the man himself, but his illustrations can probably speak for themselves. And when they speak, they'll have some relatively odd things to say. I mean, what would you expect from an image of Jigglypuff looking at a guy with a beer bottle in his ass?

Though Nickie's style varies from piece to piece, there's a consistent anime influence throughout all of his work. Oh, and there are also a lot of big penises. We don't plan on telling you where those dicks are inserted, so you'll have to click through to find out. And no, it's now what you're thinking.

Drawn To You: Felix d'Eon

Hailing from San Francisco, artist Felix d'Eon churns out consistently gorgeous depictions of the male form. His pieces range from classical nudes to historical fantasies, and even his erotic works tend to focus more on capturing intimate moments rather than in-your-face sexuality.

If you like these images, be sure to head over to Felix's website and check out the rest of his portfolio! There are hundreds of other drawings and paintings to fix your eyes on, and you may even find something you'd like to add to your art collection.

Drawn To You: Bastian Jonsson

Is it wrong that I'm occasionally turned on by toon porn just as much as actual porn? Judging from Bastian Jonsson's illustrations, I've come to the conclusion that it's not wrong at all. Though his depictions of the male form lean more towards comic book than realism, his hardcore action scenes take on a life of their own.

You may recognize Bastian's artwork from Nightlife, his collaboration with writer Dale Lazarov. The book was published last November, and it's been receiving high amounts of praise within the gay media circle. Check it out here, along with a few other drawings not included in this post.

Drawn To You: David M. Buisán

Are you one of the few Manhunt Daily readers who hates Lady Gaga? Well, illustrator David M. Buisán really hates her, to the point that he made a series of images depicting his disapproval. Although we don't echo his feelings of loathing for the pop diva, we can appreciate the style he used to express them. 

You'll have to click through to check out that series, as well as some other pieces of work from Buisán. His art first came to my attention when I stumbled upon his "video book" set to Röyksopp's "Happy Up Here". I've been hooked ever since!

Drawn To You: Jack Balas

My brain can't even find the words to describe Jack Balas' paintings and drawings. His nude (or partially clothed) male figures bridge the gap between surreal and erotic, often depicted in a toned-down and soothing palette. Some of the compositions can leave you scratching your head with their collage-like overlaps. Others rely on their simplicity.

I'm a big fan of all of these pieces, so it's impossible for me to choose a favorite. But if I had to? I'd probably wind up choosing between the one with the guys handing off a brain and the four naked men on a ceiling fan. Love 'em!

Drawn To You: Juan Martin del Campo Jr.

Have you ever seen a stained glass penis? Well, you will if you read the rest of this post! Juan Martin del Campo Jr. creates stained glass art pieces with a homoerotic edge. What motivates him to do such a thing? "I wanted to infuse my own subversive personality into the preconceived notion of mainstream stained glass," he writes on his website. "...My art is meant to inject humor and titillation in an increasingly safe and boring pop world."

Do you think he successfully accomplishes that goal with his work? Either way, I appreciate the novelty of it all. I mean, who ever expected to see blowjobs depicted in this sort of medium? I sure as hell didn't!

Drawn To You: Alfonso Casas

I think I'm in love with Alfonso Casas. I've made this decision solely by looking at his illustrations, but that doesn't mean it's not valid. This Barcelona-based artists turns out whimsical drawings that channel a sprinkling of Edward Gorey, Jamie Hewlett and just plain awesomeness.

My Spanish is a little rusty, so I don't fully understand the text in some of his pieces. Even so, I really enjoy the layouts, and it's even better that you don't have to understand the words to appreciate them. There's only one word I have to describe these images--"¡Maravilloso!"

Drawn To You: Ted Fusby

Ted Fusby certainly has a way with color. The Arizona-based artist utilizes a toned-down palette to set the mood of his work, resulting in a very calm presence. His most recent pieces are a combination of watercolor and colored pencil, sometimes with additions of metallic watercolor, gouache and ink.

Also, there are lots of naked dudes, which is probably what most of you will care about. The work varies from fine art male nudes to erotic, but even the hard dicks come off with a touch of class. Although there are a few images that combine Christian imagery with light S&M themes, I didn't see anything that could be construed as offensive (apologies for my ignorance, if there is anything). But before I babble on any longer, what do you think of Fusby's pieces?

Drawn To You: Larry Burns

Larry Burns' drawings straddle the line between simple and complex. With a quick glance, you may not see much more than a mere figure drawing, but a closer look will unlock the intricate ways he uses line and pattern to draw the viewer into his compositions. His techniques can be quite hypnotic, so be warned that you may spend several minutes staring at one image!

We've rounded up a sampling of his work for your viewing pleasure. If you're feeling particularly inspired by any of these, leave a comment to show some love! We're not sure if Larry will be reading any of them, but it's the thought that counts...

Drawn To You: Yves Sauriol

I find a good portion of Yves Sauriol's work to be rather disturbing, which is quite unfortunate because it's their disturbing nature that makes them so interesting. I'll be keeping it pretty tame for this post, but be sure to check out Sauriol's blog if you're curious. Don't say I didn't warn you.

As simple as it is, I actually enjoy the minimal and slightly pixelated style of Sauriol's images. It doesn't work for me in all of his images, but there are a few moments when it really works. What do you think of these drawings?
