Korean Bara artist Dopey (twitter: DoPq)

Dopey is a Korean Bara artist, who is regularly posting his works via Twitter (ID: DoPq). (c) Dopey I am using the word, " Bara artist" to refer Asian artists who draw gay erotic art. However, I have come to know that some artists, including Mr. Gengoroh Tagame , the King of Japanese gay erotic art, prefer to be called "gay erotic artist." Using the word does not mean that I am not aware of the ambivalent meaning of " Bara ". Still, using the word can save time, considering this blog is written in English. Back to the artist Dopey , I found that he has provided his artworks for iSHAP , Korean AIDS prevention center for LGBTs, so that the center can make various goods to promote awareness of AIDS. Talented and serving for the community, how nice of him!👍

Pontaro's Samson Cover art in February, 2003

The following is the cover art of Samson , a Japanese gay magazine, which Mr. Pontaro drew more than two decades ago. (c) Pontaro Mr. Pontaro  does not seem to be active anywhere in the Japanese gay scene, therefore I cannot find any new work of his, or hear any news about him. Could I come across other fans who can share their knowledge on this talented artist, if I keep on posting articles about him? Maybe. Who would know? At least I can make more people get to know about this master of daddy illustrations. If you know any news of the artist, leave a reply here, please.
