www.antebellum.us.ms “HOLY HOMO COMICS, DUDE!!!” Antebellum is proud to present TOONFETISH!, an exhibition of Gay erotic comic & illustrated art. 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. 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. 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! TOONFETISH! explodes in Hollywood at the ANTEBELLUM GALLERY opening nite reception- June 8th! the exhibit runs through July, 13th, 2007 Antebellum Gallery 1643 N Las Palmas Ave Hollywood, Ca 90028 323 856-0667

If anyone is in NYC/ Manhattan and has the time, I highly suggest comic fans visit MOCCA: the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art. It doesn't cost anything to get in, but you should be sure and drop at least a couple bucks for a donation as it's a Not-For-Profit entity. Heck, you may just even find yourself spending all your money on original artwork or getting a pile of books from their on-site shop. Anyways, you should go just for the art! Every couple months or so a new exhibit is set up and they even host events and more!! Check out their website for all the details!
