Hello everyone and hello to all, how are you?
New Design on eBay, and this time the subject is Bucky, the historic shoulder of the superhero Captain America ...
In this design the most difficult thing was a background process that balances the composition, whereas the subject was all horizontal, so I finally thought of a fantasy that took its cue from the shield of Captain America, Bucky, and that would highlight her curves. also guilty of being naive, at first I made the character with a mask and a hair cut very faithful to the original, and when I had already done everything I could not help but go down and do it almost corrector the whole head again ... In fact maybe a little 'is known ...

Hello everyone and hello to all, how are you?
After weeks and weeks in which I presented openly gay singers of a certain thickness and quite determined to throw deep enough messages, register now changed dramatically and I am going to present a duo of Stockholm and Dandy Kid, better known as the Straight Up.
In Swedish dance charts have placed several hits, but for now prefer to be quite reserved with regard to their biographies and their private lives. On the other hand at the end of last year had a great time to make a piece (and on video) to celebrate the world of twink. For those who do not know the word twink in gay lingo, means children between 18 and 25 years (or who present themselves as such), no beard and no hair, athletic, or at least dry, but mostly uninhibited. The term, believe it or not, comes from a typical American named twinkie sweet. A sort of vaguely phallic-shaped snack, full of golden cream (banana or milk). It seems that for Americans of the 70's the association of ideas with the young blond surfer had been fairly automatic. In any case, the term has been enriched to various degrees, and now we are talking about femme twink , Euro twink, twink muscle, etc.. To put the different types of twink there is even a complicated code that now I'm not here to explain and is based on the evaluation of a range of features (such as length and hair color). In any case the term has quickly become international, so much so that pay homage to the Straight Up with the following passage from Sweden ...

About ... Have any of you ever tasted a Twinkie?

MAH ... WALLY'S WEEK

Hello everyone and hello to all, how are you?
First of all I wanted to update you today on the situation of the site that housed TROY, and of which I myself had no news for months (with all the uncertainties arising). In fact I managed to make contact with the site manager - after months of failed attempts - using make a little honest (I called it using a different phone number). From what I understand the server had failed and they failed to restore the site in the meantime the domain (ie the address) had expired and was acquired by another person who earlier had rented to a known site of webcam a fee and then set up a personal site vaguely similar, but has no previous relationship with the manager (or me). The original handler (the one they work with me) told me that he is interested to buy back the domain, but as you can guess the situation is quite grotesque. Surely I can not count on popkorn.it until further notice, provided that one day may return to count, obviously ...
What can I say? Maybe I was right not to stake everything on popkorn.it from this mess before it happened, otherwise the situation at this time for me (and you) would be infinitely more complicated. Now the question is: it makes sense to continue without TROY tow popkorn.it? I admit that I have some doubts, but never say never. Meanwhile, Robin Hoog is almost ready to leave, then he will share the meantime, while awaiting my personal site becomes operational and offer me a space managed in a somewhat 'less rough. However, in recent days have been several reports that have left me puzzled ... Starting from one that regards the Polish composer Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin (1810-1849) ...
What has this blog with Chopin? Simply said. The Foreign Minister of Poland and the Polish embassy in Berlin had commissioned editions Kultura Gniewu centered on a comic book biography of the composer, to be distributed in primary schools in Poland and Germany to make it better known. The expenditure for this operation was approximately € 27,000. Now, the problem stems from the fact that the editions Kultura Gniewu are not a publisher for children, but mostly produce alternative and underground comics. Consequently, the authors were involved in the project chose a style decidedly unorthodox ...
the end they produced an anthology of short stories quite surreal, in which he often used a very adult language and modern (with a range of interlayer vulgar, but objectively in the common language of youth around the world). However, the thing that shocked the Polish administration to withdraw all of them point to printed comics and send them through the shredder, it was a story in which he imagined that Chopin would find itself today and struggling with a skinhead who spoke of fields murder and sex ... Two subjects in Poland are still very awkward to put together, since it is a nation with high levels of homophobia even among institutions. However, the argument was also relevant, as many scholars argue that his Chopin had a homosexual orientation. In any case I would say that this story speaks for itself, and is a measure of how comics - when dealing with uncomfortable topics in contexts bigots - they always tend to end up badly ... This, in effect, makes me do a series of disturbing comparisons between Italy and Poland, which also in the European Parliament were the only nations that are expressed against a measure which provided for the recognition of gay marriages contracted abroad ...
other hand, the world is beautiful because it is different, and if on the one hand there are countries to which the relationship between homosexuality and comics is still problematic, there are others where actual climate of freedom allowed to start at least curious. As in the case of the exhibition is being held this week in Los Angeles and is inspired by underground comics Henry & Glenn Forever , which we had talked some time ago.
It was a cartoon created by the art collective IGLOO TORNADO (of which you see represented in the picture below) that is totally focused on a fictional homosexual relationship between two leaders of the contemporary American rock: Henry Rollins and Glenn Danzig ( which obviously did not like much, but luckily the U.S. Freedom of parody is sanctioned by law).
Moral of the story: the art gallery La Luz de Jesus , that within the art alternative is well known, you're taking this beautiful exhibition that pays tribute to the love story (totally invented) between two singers rock really exist ... And of course no one batted an eyelid or has dreamed of making complaints or seizures of any kind. Can you imagine if someone in Italy dream of doing something with two famous singers? Or maybe two actors? Or even worse, with singers and actors on which rumors for years? Probably all hell breaks loose, and certainly the poor cartoonists would be worse ... Thing in the U.S., as we have seen, it does not happen.
However, with regard to freedom of speech and thought, let me conclude the post today in response to the cartoonist Alessandro Scalzo, and after about a year came across in the poll on this blog that I proposed to elect the Italian comic who in 2009, had offered the worst image of the GLBT world (unless you know the drill CLICK HERE) . Alessandro Scalzo had entered the race with his series Auntie's Darling (published in the monthly XComics), focuses on the tribulations of a transsexual named Paul (struggling with an aunt sadistic and various characters no less), so I wrote:

"Hello, I am the author of Auntie's Darling, and I have a couple of considerations.
1) The porn is politically incorrect by definition, otherwise it is called sex education . At a minimum, the women are all sluts, it's not a nice thing to say. E 'in your own right to say why you do not like porn, but if you say that this film is bad because the actresses are too filthy, well,' you are actually saying that the movie is very beautiful in its kind . So you can say that unless you feel good because I prefer the horror of that stomach vomit, but if you open a poll to decide which is the worst horror movie in the sense of what makes me more sick, you are actually rewarding the most beautiful .
2) What do you think is the result of Auntie's Darling? Did you ask? Racist, Northern League, Catholic right? Does it seem plausible? The audience is made up of Auntie's Darling consenting adults who identify with his nephew, not his aunt . In fact, on XComics not had that much choice, because it is a comic that is not directed straight to the iron. Its natural channel, where it has some success, is a U.S. site for people who have fantasies of identification with his nephew, I repeat, not with her aunt. In the end, the tastes and fancies of these people who are disapproving, neither more nor less.
3) Try not to confuse the voice of the characters with the voice of the author, because it would be a good test to take away the right to vote in person. If I make a film about the death camps and there is a SS that says "dirty jew" you do, give me the racist? "

Dear Alex, that survey did not serve to discredit the authors of the cartoons, but rather to highlight the way they represent the gay, lesbian and transgender people lightly and confirming a series of prejudices and stereotypes. Of course, publish comics it is legitimate, but I think it is legitimate to criticize them even when you do not agree with the approach or the message (and porn comics they have one). The points you raised, then, are quite interesting. The first, in particular, highlights how - from your point of view - porn, by definition, is something inherently unhealthy and "bad", because that is what makes it exciting. On the tastes do not discuss, but I beg to differ, partly because - for example - there is a whole school of gay pornography in which the excitement is created by the tenderness of the approaches and the ability to convey an idea joyful and accomplice of the pleasure sexual.
This approach, in fact, had little success in straight porn, where you play everything on power, domination and power between the sexes. Here the discourse becomes complex because you have to analyze the link between heterosexual sex and its ability to represent the fantasies of the average heterosexual male, mostly related to the domination and subjugation and humiliation of female (or its "surrogates", as trans people ), even through the "game" of sex ... In fact, according to your reasoning, the fact that I can find the role of Paul in Auntie's Darling demeaning means that the comic is successful, because by assuming that its role as a transsexual is exciting in proportion as he is harassed and humiliated ...
Regarding the second point raised by you not discuss the fact that there may be a greater or lesser number of people who can identify with a character like Paul, but - just for this - the fact that it is a character that sums up a whole series of prejudices and stereotypes about transgender people and their way of living sexuality, makes him a character for the consumption of those who have a rather 'limited trans world. Obviously you were not obliged to send a message other than what you started, and even to give the character a transsexual woman's name (which, as a friend of several trans, I can assure you that was really the first thing to consider). However, if this was your choice, I think that anyone who disagrees is free to criticize without first being that does not accept the fantasies of others.
Concerning the third point, then, do not know you and I would never make judgments about your person. I know that cartoonists have comic cruel and that people are absolutely right. If you prefer to create comics porn with transsexuals who are constantly subjected is your sacred duty to continue to do so, but if anyone thinks that - objectively - from a performance a bit 'limited and twisted characters of transsexuals do not think there's anything wrong with leaving free to express your opinion ... Also because, I'll note, in our part of the dissident voices when it comes to gay, lesbian and trans are still very few and weak ... Also in the Italian comic, which just happened to have always avoided direct contacts with the real erotic fantasies of the gay community (even in the spaces reserved for pornography) ...
Perhaps because gay fantasies do not confirm the prejudices and stereotypes that reassure the average heterosexual male and his fantasies of domination? Or maybe because they are much less distant than it appears from the everyday heterosexual?
Who knows ...

When Do I Need Antibiotics For A Chest Infection

Hello everyone and hello to all, how are you?
Also this week on your favorite blogs (^__^) begins with a new batch of news from the world of gay-themed comics. First we point out that, two years after the first announcement in this regard, has finally been given to the press the first comic written by Melissa P. (the author of the famous publishing event 100 brush strokes), and not even do it on purpose is just a comic book-themed gay and lesbian theme for precision ...
The drawings are by Alice Pasquini (you can see in the picture below to grips with one of his works), which as stated on his website (CLICK HERE ) has several experiences in the world of illustration, the murals, paintings and animation ... Almost everywhere except in the world of comics (O__O) ...
Comics have not yet been able to read, so I can not make judgments on the work itself, but I can not refrain from doing some preventive consideration and external doubts. The first thing I would say is that this volume can hardly be called a true comic (though certainly the intention is to use the language of comics as best as possible). Why do I say this? For the simple fact that has been created by a writer and illustrator, then - despite their talents in their respective fields - this is not a writer and a cartoonist. Obviously I'm not saying who does comics must have a trademark, but I think it is clear that when the creative of a person is tuned to the prose of a book or aesthetic impact of a mural, very unlikely to be able to contribute to a convincing cartoon ... Although the project has involved a young writer who has sold millions of copies ...
And see that I said "convincing" and not "good", since we are talking about language and content. The ironic thing is that it is not the first time that a major Italian publisher leaves groped by an operation of this type. If today, involves the Rizzoli Melissa Panarello, in 1989 the Mondadori involved Aldo Busi ... Making him co-write a comic book (or assumed) the ugliest in history (With graphic designs Dario Cioli), cartoon of which - rightly - today has lost all memory ... In some comics antique shops I happened to go through and I can swear that - despite my passion for comics (or perhaps because of that) - I have always refused to buy it ... For the record: the title of this volume is Paté d'Homme, and probably just wanted to exploit the moment of greatest popularity of Aldo Busi, so much so that (even though it was really unreadable) was published in hardback edition rather luxurious (and expensive).
possible that the great Italian publishers, instead of focusing on the Italian comic-strip Real has always been limited to focus on names that are in the mood to recall experiences comics? It is a bit 'like admitting that, for them, the comic itself is a small thing and that what matters is the name to recall or "publishing event" (also with regard to the foreign securities)? Why not choose the competent editors and talent scouts who specialize in comics? Anyway - back to the work of Melissa P. - I can not help but notice that, once again, the issue of homosexuality will be addressed by a person who - while admitting to having had lesbian adventures, especially in the most unconventional of the term - is not homosexual. Of course, to write good stories homosexuality should not necessarily be gay, but I think it's inevitable that anyone who writes about topics they know in a partial or even distorted, stories that will carry out partial and distorted picture of certain topics. From what I've read the history book written by Melissa P., not surprisingly titled Vertigo, is a drug addict girlfriend and his cousin that he loves her (in all senses) and is ready for anything to be near her and help ... A subject very challenging even for more experienced cartoonists and navigated. What can I say? I hope I'm wrong, but something tells me there will be facing the equivalent of Italian STRANGERS IN PARADISE Terry Moore (who, while being a straight male, was able to explore the love between women in a truly remarkable) ...
In any case, to stay on the subject of women and comics, now I can not help but tell you that the U.S. has recently debuted a line of cosmetics signed Wonder Woman (!!!) and built by MACCOSMETICS , a professional company that certainly does not aim to target young girls ... Also because - despite appearances - Wonder Woman is NOT an icon for American teenage girls by at least thirty years ...
On the other hand (the gay part) is an icon for feminists, for fans of comics, to lesbian and women - presumably - For women a bit 'eccentric ... Not to mention the drag queens and transgender women, and this happens even in a country like Italy ...
At this point I think I can say with some safety margin, the MACCOSMETICS, have a better market research in an attempt to conquer all a part of the audience states that - obviously - is considered to be relatively attractive. Not to mention that, probably, this line of cosmetics ingolosirà also all male fans of Wonder Woman (especially gays) who want to collect anything to do with their superhero of the heart.
Obviously, if the line were to be successful, will be expanded with new colors and new products, which probably will not be imported in Italy. For the simple fact that the type of audience for which it designed a line of cosmetics Wonder Woman, in our country, is still not officially considered. Too bad. On the other hand it is also true that - as I recently had occasion to observe - in our part of the comic is considered a niche market as such, and rarely interacts with the outside world. The gay-themed comics, then this state of cultural isolation of living in a particularly strong, which might not happen in other countries. Take for example the Australia ... Just in February Asian Studies Review, the quarterly magazine (dedicated to in-depth essays on the Eastern culture) has devoted a long article in Gengoroh Tagami and representation of masculinity in his comic ...
A write was the Dr. William Armour, professor of Japanese at the University of New South Wales (it's the funny mustached man in the picture below), which also has done with this article its debut in the world of international publications of a certain prestige (as part of Oriental studies, of course).
Since this is a serious blog, and since I think I have you intrigued, if you know English I offer you the opportunity to read the article by Professor Armour. pdf simply CLICKING HERE . I do not want raging, but I think in Italy it is very unlikely that a university professor decides to write an essay on his debut comic book, and in particular those of Tagami Gengoroh ... Also because, in our academic environment, comics in general suffer from the same low opinion of that found in other cultural contexts (and not) in our country.
On the other hand, if Australia is to almost the antipodes of Italy, perhaps there is a reason. Hello

Constant Tooth Pain After Fillings

Hello everyone and hello to all, how are you?
Even today I am here to broaden your musical knowledge with a new gay singer said that in Italy no one row, even if it is in the top positions of the U.S. dance charts and is also very popular in different parts of Europe and beyond (the Next month, his tour will take Brazil, Colombia, Bolivia and even Kazakhstan). In fact, I'm talking about Christopher "Chris" Willis ...
The curious thing about this singer is that he started to make a name in the early 90s within the gospel, but the way he realized that the environment of the churches that attended was not at all gay friendly and helped to feed his inner conflict and sense of anxiety over its homosexual orientation ... However, just the gospel helped him find his way because he has chosen to accept within himself his message of universal love. In any case, after realizing that he needed to live more freely and produced, has left the world of gospel music and, since 2001, it was recycled as a dance singer, declaring publicly and quickly climbing the charts. His story, which actually is quite particular, it has also earned a documentary entitled Inside Out, which was created just last year in which Chris talks about the good of himself and of his experience of life. Not bad right? Meanwhile, below you can see the video for her latest single ...

will never wonder if in our clubs ... Mhhh ... I do not know why, but I have some doubts about it ... Hello

THE LETTER OF TODAY

Hello everyone and hello to all, how are you?
Today I wanted to start from a letter I read today and that put me in particularly good spirits, in fact I wrote Stafano:

"Hello Valeriano,

are a volunteer group of young Arcigay Modena ( and your biggest fan! follow you from the days when it was published by gay.it rainbows) and I'm writing to thank you.

You know that I touched the thankless task of caring for a small review that should take care of niche topics, not generalists such as music or gay-themed film.

Why not deal with comic books and video games then, I said! Searching the Internet I found a lot of information, especially in English, but I must say that your blog (I am a devoted reader:)) is the source of more systematic and wide circulation. Well ... searching through your post I found many interesting ideas that have helped me to make a power point presentation in which I conducted an entire session of the youth group. Although there was little people interested in comic books or video games, it seems that the show liked it so much that some have suggested I create a CD containing all the comics theme that I downloaded from the Internet so that interested parties can borrow it from home.

So thanks for the care with which the blog and draw your own strip, raising hopes for us poor fans saw the Italian cartoonists poor market we have! ;)

Stefano

PS Some guys were quite interested your comics (I could not cite), so who knows, maybe you'll have some new fan from now on = D "

Here ... This is the kind of letter that gratifies me and makes me think that to continue This blog is a good thing ... Thanks, and congratulations for the initiative really, I am almost moved ...
Among other things, in these days, even the gay association CHILDREN OF THE MOON Cuneo asked me similar information to arrange an appointment for next March ... It's up to see that after more than six hundred posts, this blog is starting to be very little reference to gay comics in Italy? "The letter I received , however, raises a very interesting question. In fact, Stephen tells me that the gay comics, unlike the movie and music themed, are considered a niche topic. This is true even if the comics generally are born to be a form of popular entertainment, just like the music or movies ...
Why comic books in Italy, have lost this feature? The question is not trivial, especially if you look at the gay-themed comics, as the gay community - usually - halyard antennas for anything that is even vaguely identified as gay (also spending considerable figures). In fact, the comics in general has always had a considered rather low in our country, only to be ruled by big media and cultural circuit. Exactly the opposite of what happens in countries where the cartoons highly regarded ... It is no accident. Just take a trip to Brussels (without disturbing the usually Japan or the U.S.) to realize how the local comic book heroes that adorn the buildings of the city, witnessed a very different view of this medium ...
An inclusive approach is also found in libraries and bookstores, for example, but also in the news, in newspapers and on television shows, which devote large areas comics and the like. Not to mention the conferences, exhibitions, etc.. At this point it's pretty easy to see how the comics, which in Belgium are fully included in the circuit of the media are far from a cultural niche. In Italy, where the comics will not talk much and bad, the comic has no media coverage, except through the animated series and films for the big screen that are inspired by it (but this means only advertise some products at the expense of others, and not exploit the comic as such). Ultimately, then, someone finds out the comics thanks to the Annexes of the newspapers, but it is still a minority, since it is quite expensive attachments, already aimed at an audience of collectors ...
Then we must consider that in Italy have disappeared from the comics for decades, children who had the delicate task of bringing together and educating the younger audience to the language of comics. Excluding Disney and similar products, which have lately become indisputably trivial, dull and boring (so as to raise the young comic book instead of turning them into future fans), the supply is virtually zero. So not surprising, generation after generation, the comic has come to be regarded as mainly a hobby for nerds intellectual tastes a little business, those who today are called nerds ...
clear: compared to a few years ago, mainly due to the manga and some cult (as Dylan Dog and Rat Man), the situation in Italy is much improved, but the comic is something profoundly alien to Italian popular culture, due to a perverse mechanism that probably has its roots even in the fascist regime ... Which, paradoxically, the comic had a great view, even if only as a propaganda tool ...
The interest of fascism for the comic and its use, in fact, and that was all the political forces to push the war to take much away from this medium, treating it with a prejudicial hostility. The progressives and the moderates associated with the regime, while Conservatives feared that support of the comics themselves were associated with the scheme referred to above. This is additional to the snobbery with which the intelligentsia of our country had always considered and distrust of religious authority. Moral of the story: as the media of our country (despite appearances) have always been more or less direct emanation of some current policy, and since no current policy in Italy (after fascism) has ever really seen a good eye comics (with the occasional exception, due to the work of intellectuals such as Umberto Eco), has triggered a vicious circle in which Italy has always been the comic on the edge of the cultural scene and media, rimanendo appunto un fenomeno di nicchia, nonostante le grandi tirature di Topolino o Tex... Le stesse dinamiche hanno influenzato anche la storia del fumetto gay nel nostro paese. Infatti le associazioni gay italiane, fin dall'inizio, nascevano come associazioni politiche e politicizzate che - per i motivi storici di cui sopra - avevano una bassa considerazione di fumetti e affini. Questo ha poi generato un effetto domino su tutta la cultura gay italiana e sulle varie pubblicazioni gay del nostro paese, in cui il fumetto gay non è mai stato presentato in maniera organica e continuata, come ad esempio succedeva negli USA... Dove una serie come Leonard & Larry di Tim Barela è proseguita sul mensile The Advocate per qualcosa come twenty years ...
The same goes for publications by the more explicit content, which in Italy was limited to issuing some foreign comic at random (without the payment of fees to the proper authorities), while foreign magazines were launched across hard a number of authors and characters cult since the early '70s ... Such as secret agent Harry Chess by A. Jay, which debuted in 1966 even ...
In other words: gay comics, USA, was a direct offshoot of the gay movement and its claims, while in Italy was not part of anyone's political culture (for historical reasons mentioned above), and then was ignored or presented improperly. Obviously in a country like Italy, where the comic is still a taboo gay editorial, the fact that the gay world does not adequately promoted and led to the continuous current situation, which gay comics are even complete strangers for the same gay ... Fortunately, as evidenced by the letter with which I opened this post, here too things are slowly changing, thanks to the fact that new generations have a much more flexible than their predecessors and in any case (thanks to the Internet) may also confront with the gay culture of other nations, where surely the comics (gay and otherwise) are much better placed ... However, I would
break a lance in favor of foreign sites, which may not seem as robust this blog. If this is so is because they can afford to take it for granted that their readers can investigate topics elsewhere, as in many countries there is a vast cultural network of gay and well branched. This blog, however, is designed precisely for the average Italian gay, who - through no fault of his own - in terms of comics has to start from scratch, almost.
course, if in his little does the trick, I am very happy. Hello
and the next.
