Queer artists are flourishing on Instagram, Twitter, Patreon, and other platforms. Check out some from around the world… and see their social media accounts for more explicit material… because you want it.
Astra Zero
Do you have a thing for hunky zombies, twisted superheroes and emo muscle boys? If so, you’re sure to find much to enjoy in Astra Zero’s (@astrazero on Instagram) artwork, which has evolved from comic book-style zombie hunks to spookily realistic, 3D renderings. Based in British Columbia, Canada, he produces a wide range of merchandise and, when not drawing, is also an impressive indie-rock musician.
Joe Phillips
Always classic. Go see joephillips.com for lots of twink, muscly boys with tats. He also has a great new project call witchboys.com that showcases magic and romance.He made joeboys calendars for years, and has sadly said after 2021 he is retiring it. Finally he made a beautiful Tarot deck with his art work.
Noxsatvrn
Noxsatvrn (@Noxsatvrn on Instagram) comes from a small town in Muslim-majority Indonesia, but keeps further details about his identity private because of his country’s “conservative and homophobic environment.” However, he thankfully channels his sexuality into his art, which mixes commissioned portraiture with gothic fantasy and romanticism. He works mostly in ink and watercolor, and like many of the other artists featured here, is open to commissions.

So talented, all of them!
I don’t have a TV, it’s been years since I took the decision to not have one. My laptop and iPhone is all I need. In general I’m not a person who watches series because I don’t have the patience, nor the time for it. On my free time I have sex, I read and I blog. I’m not a person who likes to sit, not to watch TV, not even to eat.
However during the pandemic, at the beginning, while everything was closed with nothing to do, or human interaction, I watched the 8 seasons of Game of Thrones in 7 days.
Ever since I watched few more shows, such as the Crown, Elite, Heartstopper and Genera+ion to mention few. Watching series was a side effect of the pandemic on me.
On 2022 I watched two more shows that were pretty remarkable:
RAISED BY WOLVES, an epic sci-fi show with grand and beautiful visual effects.
See, I hate to read novels and science fiction (my reading is usually politics, sociology and real stuff) but I am a fan of visual science fiction.
I found the plot of the show very appealing because it actually reflects how our world might have started when there was only the science as a proven fact, and no religion or anything else.
Although from times Season 1 was very slow, every episode makes you think. By the end it gets twisted AF and my worst nightmare came to life because LEGEND Ridley Scott is one of the Executive producers (and you can see his style on this project) and you go WTF.
The main character, Danish actress Amanda Collin as Mother, is impeccable! And hot underrated Australian actor Travis Fimmel is fantastic.
Season 2 was superior. There is a lot more action, more intriguing characters, more WTF scenarios and always leaves you wanting more.
This series let us navigate complex philosophical and ethical questions in a way, but also full of strange weird ideas and compelling performances.
Sadly HBO cancelled the series after Season 2 and also removed it from HBO Max after the successful seasons.
Another WTF moment without a doubt.
There was simply NOTHING like Raised by Wolves .
==================================================
THE BOYS
Superheroes are often as popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians, and sometimes even as revered as gods. But that’s when they’re using their powers for good…. But when they’re not it’s the powerless against the super powerful, which it’s the case of this series.
The Boys is not a “dystopian re-imagining of a world with superheroes” it’s quite literally an allegory for America and the world as it exists right now.
While Season 1 was great. Season 2 was good. And Season 3 was fantastic.
This show continues to amaze as it’s not afraid to try new things and is a show that is definitely for adults. It has no problems being offensive and making you feel squeamish.
You don’t even have to be a fan of superhero shows to enjoy this. It’s violent, gore, funny, thrilling, gross.
New Zealand actors Antony Starr and Karl Urban are the stars of this show. Both are just amazingly fun, crazy and hot!
If you’re looking for straightforward dark comedy with a hint of satire or parody with actual story-lines that are interesting, you’ll find all that and more here.
