Erotic Cartoonists Invade The Folsom Street Fair This Sunday!
by Justin Hall, posted September 24th, 2009
[Print-ready Version]


The Folsom Street Fair is the world’s largest fetish event, bringing in hundreds of thousands of queers and leatherfolk from all around the world to San Francisco’s South of Market neighborhood. The Fair is all about community, and one of the ways it demonstrates this is by donating a block of booth space to queer, erotic artists who wouldn’t be able to afford the normally steep booth fees.

This provides a wonderful opportunity for erotic cartoonists, who make almost no money with their creations and always relish a free deal. This year in particular, a stellar group of gay porn comics creators are gathering, to make this little section of the Fair one of the most exciting. Here’s the run-down:

Chuck Connor and Sean Platter: Demonic Sex pulls no punches with its depictions of demonic transformations and sexual hells, and Platter’s lush artwork is breathtaking.

Justin Hall: Hall co-created the edgy, gay porn series Hard to Swallow with accomplished tattoo artist Dave Davenport. Davenport uses his illustration chops to create horny werewolves, skate punk ghosts, and other unwholesome characters, while Hall contributes his own stories of porn stars, gay pirates, and inappropriate sex.

Brad Rader: Harry and Dickless Tom is one of the most unusual and remarkable erotic graphic novels. The story of two homophobic truckers who screw and then beat up fags on the road turns to the surreal when one of them wakes up with a vagina.

Sean-Z: Myth is a superb fantasy comic with complex plots, gorgeous color work, and big-dicked vampires. Mister Z is also one of the founders of the queer men’s cartoonist group Bent Comix.

There are also other artists not involved in comics exhibiting at the Folsom Artists’ Area. They are: Todd Copper (sketches), Brian Foote (oil paintings), Jeff Palmer (photography), and Morris Taylor (watercolors). The Folsom Artists’ Area will be on 11th St. between Folsom and Harrison, and will run the entire day of the Fair.
