Tuesday Titillation:
Family Tradition
by Josman
Part Two
So, for today's post, I decided to share more work by an artist known as Josman. I think his artwork is amazing. As mentioned in the past, I do have my qualms about his work - his themes tend to center on older men having a somewhat taboo relationship with much younger men.
As I put this collection together, I had to remind myself... this is fantasy. This is a gay fairy tale.
If you don't agree... I understand. But this is the stuff of make-believe. The reality? Well, it looks nothing like this, hons.
I did do a little research on Josman. It seems he used to have a regular comic called Hand Jobs which stopped publishing new material years and years ago. On an on-line discussion board devoted to his work, someone else mentioned that they believed his work was now licensed by a pay site and that is the reason new material has not been forthcoming.
Thing is, no one seems to know exactly what became of him. Someone on the same forum mentioned that he had published a series of horribly inappropriate works and dropped out of sight. However, the authenticity of those work has been questioned by others.
One thing I did learn? I am not alone when it comes to my reaction to his artwork. A couple of blogs praise his work, but then also cop to feeling a bit skeezy about enjoying it.
Personally, I view these as fairy tales... something devoid of anything approaching reality. And that is the context in which they are being presented here, today.
That said, here is the first of three installments of Family Tradition - from the talented hands of Josman.

Taboo? Fantasy?
An interesting bit of gay history?
You decide. To each their own.

The illustration are hot, no doubt. The only time I recall getting uncomfortable was one of my father's coworkers and family friends who was Egyptian and probably 30 years my senior. If I would stay over at my friend's house or we were all at the lake for swimming for picnics, he was always very insistent on trying to getting me naked all the time. I never would get naked around him. But three years later his son and I started having fun together..
Whatever people say, the drawings are hot.
I also have daddy issues and love the 'daddy type', so there's that.
XOXO
Well, "The family that plays together, stays together." I heard that a lot when I was a youngster. LOL.
Gee, next installment looks to be fun.
