Doable Guys: A Gay Erotic Art Anthology

Illustration by Jhowee Chiang

Although FH generally features photographs, I love to feature any and all artistic depictions of the male form. Over the last 10 years, I have featured images, sculptures, drawings, paintings, comics and even dolls created to celebrate those doable guys we search and long for. Those doable guys we dream of are not all the same and come in a variety of sizes, colors, ages, styles and packages.


Many of these beautifully wrapped, and unwrapped packages, are featured in Doable Guys, a gay erotic art anthology featuring artists from around the globe. The goal was to create a beautiful and sexy collection of illustrations and comics; anything from traditional fine art to digital illustrations. The artists involved were asked to create a guy 'Doable' to them as an individual and to express that in their personal artistic aesthetic.

All proceeds from Doable Guys goes to the LGBT charity GLSEN, who strives to assure that every member of every school community is valued and respected, regardless of sexual orientation and/or gender identity or expression. GLSEN believes that such an atmosphere promotes and solidifies a positive sense of self, which is the basis of educational achievement and personal growth.

Doable Guys was put together by two artists, the first Lena Green, a NYC animator who writes and illustrates Ship Jumper, a homoerotic webcomic about Piper, a shipwrecked sailor on a mysterious island. The second is Kyle Anderson, an animator whose art and Advent calendar I have previously featured on FH.
