BGBF Home Pages

These are the home pages of Black Gay Boy Fantasy. Boxes. I put them in boxes.
Then, there was the big deal of re-vamping, which initiated this blogspot. I think this is when I started being a little fashionably conscious with them.
This one never made the cut. But, here it is. (Nobody has seen this, right?)
Did this one make it? I'm not sure. I know that initially, in the sketches, Dustin was in place of Mohammed. In the end, neither version made it.
This one made it. New era. It's amazing who's there and who isn't. Life is so dramatic. Eric might be back. Dustin? Closure at some point.

True Romance

This picture was actually supposed to be for something else. Thus, the title: True Romance. Notice Jesus's furtive eyes. Something's afoot. But, I'm posting it anyway and maybe the original concept will surface. Until then, enjoy.

Patrick Dancy - Living Well

I didn't know when it would happen, but I always knew it would. Patrick Dancy, my boyhood crush from the 90s --- has surfaced!!! (I made my crush official in this original post.) Patrick J. Dancy was one of the Guys Next Door, a singing and dancing group that also had a Saturday morning skit show. (The other Guys were Damon, Eddie, Bobby and Chris). But, Patrick was the one that kept me coming back. After many posts on this blog (about my art and just ... things in general I like), Patrick has clearly been my most popular post, generating the most comments and excitement. And, I am more than happy to follow up (with Patrick's permission, of course), with a couple of his pictures. It's just to show everyone who's interested that he's looking incredible, sounds like he's living well and having a great times bouncing from coast to coast. (The body is cut up! Your work is paying off.) Thanks for this moment, Patrick. (P.S. When are the Guys getting a DVD so that it can be Saturday morning with the Guys all over again?)
Cool
Tight Body!

Work In Progress

It's hard to believe that we're more than half way through this year and I haven't put out a single issue of Black Gay Boy Fantasy. Sorry, folks. It's just plain tacky. BUT --- I have been working. I did hint that the gang would be going on a little trip and --- it turns out they are. (Well, did.) The format's a little different. A much longer issue. A discarded script off to the side. You catch some of the details. I had fun doing it. (Okay. I'm still working on it.) But, here's a little glimpse.

Rob Kirby's New Gig: "Three"

Rob Kirby's "Curbside" comic strip was one of those strips I loved instantly. (Along with David Kelly's "Steven.") I loved his style. I loved his stories. He's a helluva writer. I loved the fact he had black gay characters who actually wanted to be with one another. And, he has a smashing sense of humor. I had the pleasure of finally meeting Rob after loving his work for so many years, because of Juicy Mother and Boy Trouble 2: Born To Trouble. I had a story in Boy Trouble called "Click - Download." It was alllllll about my adventures in porn. (Collecting and stealing, not starring.) Plus, it was the first time I ever did a story in full color. Rob completed his run with Curbside, took a break and is now back at the drawing board, putting out an anthology of comics entitled "Three." It looks like three queer cartoonist get their turn, each issue, at telling different stories. First up is Eric Orner and Joey Alison Sayers. On top of "Three," Rob has even re-vamped and re-launched his website, re-titled: Rob Kirby Comics. "Three" is also available for pre-order. Support the queer comic arts!!!
"Rob Kirby's all-new, all-color, all-queer comics anthology promises to be at least as much fun as a barrel of monkeys, if not even more so! So join Rob, Eric "Ethan Green" Orner and Joey Alison "Thingpart" Sayers for issue #1, coming your way soon!"

Queer Cartoonist ATTACK!!! (Part 2)

Well, it's over. Sadly. It was an incredible weekend. It started out ... challenging. More than a few hours on the New Jersey Turn Pike. EZPass drama. (Not really.) Getting to the first panel late. Parking drama. (Manhattan is not tourist friendly.) A flop house!!!! Peeling paint, dank dwellings and bed bugs. Oh, my! (Hotel Pennsylvania = European hostel.) Saved by lesbians. Brooklyn is bigger than D.C. Hanging with a comix legend. Train rides. A mouse. Cocktails at 10am. Vietnamese and Lebanese food. Sigh. A great time was had by all. Members of the Juicy Mother crew were reunited for Attack of the Queer Cartoonist. Check out my previous blog entry. There were nice turn outs for each event. For more info about our weekend, check out Howard's blog. He's got some things to say, too. Jennifer Camper (Juicy Mother), Ivan Velez (Tales From The Closet), Joan Hilty (Bitter Girl), and Howard Cruse (Stuck Rubber Baby, Wendell) really turned out a great event, discussing gay comix and their role in it.
