It’s been a year and a half since I posted last. There have been a combination of reasons for my inactivity, but one significant reason is just running out of steam. About 4 months ago, I got a new iPad and pencil, and I found a drawing app that I went down the rabbit hole with. Climbing back out of the rabbit hole, I have something new to publish here, namely, my first attempt at a homoerotic wrestling graphic novel. The whole thing has taken me way back to when I was a kid, hiding how aroused I was by guys, getting totally turned on by staying up to watch pro wrestling by myself late at night, and drawing in my secret drawing pads images of hot bodied hunks populating my fantasies. I have no training as an artist. I know there are robust communities of comic artists with expertise and insights that I don’t have, and likely will never have time to learn. But this has been a lot of fun, and I’m already working on something new.

I’ll be publishing it in serial format starting in a day or two, but I wanted to introduce the effort first, and give lots of credit to what’s inspired me. First of all, if you’ve ever read anything on this blog, it will come as no surprise that BG East has fueled the majority of what’s shown up on the page. The wrestling action that you’ll see uses a lot of reference images from the outrageously huge BGE archive, and one character, in particular, is built almost entirely off of a long-time favorite crush who makes me go “mmmmmmm!” Bonus points for the first commenter to name the inspiring BGE wrestler. I developed other characters off of references from insta-influencers and random hotties who grab my attention. There are a couple of characters who are built off of real people in my life who shall remain nameless, but those who run in the same circles I do may recognize them.

My first foray into a graphic adaptation is drawn from the first chapter in a homoerotic wrestling series I wrote 12 years ago (!). Those familiar with the text version will note a lot of changes, some of which I made to fit the graphic format, others of which I changed out of the unceasing exercise of my homoerotic imagination. I hope that you enjoy the story and comment. If you say things that are too, too mean, I probably won’t publish your comments. As always, I’m offering this up for free to share with those who share some of my interests and tastes. Please don’t plagiarize the work, and if you share it elsewhere, I just ask that you give me credit and link back to this site for the original publication. I’m also posting some of the drawings out of context here, for those interested in watching for early previews of upcoming works.

Well fuck me. It appears that WordPress deleted my polls not long after I posted them on Monday. On the one hand, this fills me with a slightly irrational quantity of rage. On the other hand, of course technology reared its ugly head and thwarted me. That has been the most consistent theme of my life over the past 12 months. Literally, only about 8 votes were cast, although there were thousands of views of the post, so that’s about as reliable a gauge of the popular vote as the Electoral College. However, like Don Quixote, I’m not quite ready to give up battle. I’ve found a new poll widget to try. To those of you who voted, I apologize sincerely for disenfranchising you. I hope that you will weight in yet again, as we give this another shot. If this doesn’t work, this may be the end of my polls, which would be sad. Give it a go and let’s see. I’ll leave this up a few days, so spread the word.

Since “awards season” goes for months into the new year, I feel like it’s not too late to poll gay wrestling fans for a few of those “best” categories that BG East doesn’t award. We got to laud Rocky Sparks dazzling abs, Ty Alexander’s grabbable ass, Kirk Donahue’s notable bulge, and Alexi Adamov’s entire body. But what about the BG East wrestler with the best legs? Which stunning stud had the best pecs? What about best arms and best back? These magnificently sexy men craft every lovely inch of their bodies, and it seems a shame to me to not adore every part of them in exquisite, possibly even tedious, detail. We were enfranchised to award Jake Jenkins as Top Babyface again, Kayden Keller as Top Heel once again, and Rocky Sparks as Top Jobber for the first time in his career. But what about (and I admit, I may be threading the needle here on this one) the wrestler with the prettiest face (regardless of whether he’s a babyface/heel)? And this is definitely not the first time I’m lingering long and hard on wrestlers with the sexiest nipples, in particular.

Just to dot all my i’s and cross all my t’s, this poll is, in no way shape, or form, sanctioned by BG East. I have not been paid or in any other way compensated by any of the slate of nominees that I’m putting forward for your consideration, except for that time that Kayden Keller took my compliments about his legs and flexed his dizzingly hot quads at me as positive reinforcement. I consulted absolutely no one but my own tastes and preferences, and I’m sure I’ve mistakenly missed plenty of deserving contenders, and probably an army more of those I wouldn’t have picked, but many of you would have. It’s all in good fun. I absolutely lovingly adore and worship every single one of these hot bodied hunks… except for one of them who I actually, genuinely can’t stand to watch in the ring, but I have to admit he meets the criteria for the question at hand. There’s always an outside chance that the powers that be (aka, The Boss) at BG East could be irritated by my presumption and ask me to kill this entire post, which I’d do instantly, because I adore him and his genius, and I’m more than a little terrified of him at the same time. Vote if you’d like. Comment to lobby for your pick or to complain about my choices.
