I started professional work in 1991 with my full-page cartoon feature "The Adventures of Bumpkin Buzz" in the Comics Buyer's Guide. By 1996, I was also working with Wizard Entertainment on their superhero calendar poster series and have since worked with Wizard on a number of humor pieces, scavenger hunt puzzles, and contributed to their other publications, including Inquest Gamer, Toyfare, Sci Fi Invasion and a variety of special editions. I am currently fortunate enough to be working with Randall Kirby, a brilliantly talented and hilariously funny writer/cartoonist from Oregon, on his four-issue Adventure-Humor creation Disco Ninja. More fun cannot be had. My greatest love is superhero comics, and I must admit I'm growing a bit weary of the revolving door editorial staffing at the Big Two and am becoming winded trying to keep up with which trends are in vogue so my latest pitches can appeal to whomever's in charge at the moment. Thus, I've  [More...]

Tenderloin Socialite turned Pop Whore, Illustrator, designer, homo, a lot can be said about Diego Gómez, but usually not to his face, unless you've got a gun and you're not afraid to use it! After graduating from San Francisco's fabulous Art Institute, Diego hired a squad of death-trannies to help him rise to power as the Lord of the Tenderloin. Perched atop his royal toilet Diego spews fourth whimsical imagery chock full of gratuitous breasts, counterintuitive fairy tales, and plenty of awkward moments of silence. Thanks to his mad skills and a verbocity that could cut a bitch like a Lee Press-On Nail, Diego is adored by all, except for the people who hate him. If the wailing sirens on the SF fire department don't rob him of his hearing, surely his loud outfits will! But fear not evil doers - at the ripe & juicy age of 27, he's only getting younger by the day & sassier by the moment! Diego has upcoming work in Glamazonia as a penciler, inker, colorist & letterer & has lettered  [More...]

Gosh! Re-reading my profile, I find it's terribly out of date, so here's an update. My name is Theo Bain, also known as Shemmy. After a rocky end to 2007, my life changed dramatically in January 2008 when I moved, newly single, to Brighton, to work as a concept artist for a video games company. Those changes also brought about sadly the end of updates to BritDoodz.com, though the site is still up for people to see,and its MySpace gets updated as often as I am able. Despite now working in an industry not famed for its cartoon naked men, I still find time to illustrate a problem page in a monthly gay sexual health magazine here in the UK. I am planning to hold an exhibition in late 2009 of my erotic cartoon men and will keep you posted.  [More...]

Born three months premature on June 6th 1985, Rachel Dukes came into the world full of curiosity and determination. From the age of three, she showed interest and talent in the fields of the arts. (Her preferred mediums at the time were wax-based crayons and washable marker.) In the first grade, she drew her first comic strips and proudly proclaimed to her teacher that she would like to do comics when she grew up. At the age of ten she was approached by the LA Times to do a syndicated comic strip, but turned their offer down because she was ten and didn’t know any better. Rachel started doing her first online comic, Fanfare, in her Junior year of High School, and started a strict regimen of drawing for four hours a day. Her art improved in leaps and bounds over the two years she created the comic.

I've been a comic book fan since seventh grade. I became a comic book creator by accident. I spent 10 years acting in New York City. I studied with the great Fred Kareman, and I worked quite a bit. I even wrote, produced, and starred in a one man show, Up, Up & Away!, based on my lifelong passion for comics. As an actor, I almost always had a side job to make ends meet. A few years ago, I ended up bartending in a local gay bar. By this writing, I have bartended in several gay bars. These days, I do occasional voice-over acting, but most of my creative energy goes to my comic strip, From The Cellar. Inspired by my front seat view of New York City Gay Nightlife, I created From The Cellar on a whim. It kinda took over from there. Many talented artists have participated, and I can't wait to publish it as a Graphic Novel when it's finished. From The Cellar's mix of fiction and fact baffles even me, so I find it hard to describe my comic; but I'm very proud  [More...]

Mark Padilla's mother knew he was going to grow up to become a fabulous gay comic artist when he began drawing pictures of Lynda Carter on his Huggies. The 1970's television show Wonder Woman inspired an early love for comics, drawing and camp. By age 20, he had drawn enough pictures of Wonder Woman and collected enough comics to wallpaper a colosseum, so he packed up his things and moved away from the SoCal desert and on to the flaming gay city of San Francisco in search fine art/animation training and a more artistically stimulating atmosphere and started drawing cocks constantly instead. Influences including a myriad of horror & sci-fi movies and animation such as Hanna Barbera, Sailor Moon, Capcom, Disney, She-Ra, and of course Marvel and DC comics, Mark Padilla and his co-creator Husband Johnny Nolen are responsible for the creation of the Gravity Faggot universe. Planet Gay XXX-Press is the current gay/erotic comic novella from GravityFaggot.com and is available for  [More...]
