Tom of Finland

I found a print inspired by Tom of Finland. I might make a rubber stamp out of this image.

Jiraiya, Kinta's Balls (金太のキンタマ)

G-men #172 Another comic by Jiraiya, which was published after his latest comic book. It is called Kinta no Kintama(金太のキンタマ), which means Kinta's balls in Japanese. Followings are the images that I've found regarding this comic.

Korean Gay Cartoonist, Byunchun

Byunchun aka Angel Crazy is a Korean gay cartoonist. He is well known for his comic book, Byun -tae- chun -sa(perverted angel). Currently, he posts his comics through his personal site; http://angelcrazy.egloos.com or famous Korean gay portal site, Ivancity .

Crystal Boys

Last week, this book arrived. I purchased it early this month. I surfed the net before I ordered it, but the only place where I can read this book is the library of one university in Suwon(a city located at south of Seoul). And only one local on-line bookstore sells the book only in Chinese (which I can't read). It's hard to find the image of this book. Not like the cover image up above, if you hold the book, you can see the boy (on the cover) stare back at you (very straightforward). Glad to have the book in English.

Prayers for Bobby

The movie is based on true story. The mother of Bobby didn't embrace the fact that her son is gay. Bobby suffered from the alienation from his family, especially from his mother. After Bobby took his own life, the mother tries to make it all right, visits church where people have different opinion on what the Bible tells and finally becomes a figure of PFLAG . I almost cried watching this movie. This blog is mostly dedicated to non-english source or at least materials published in Korea. But sometimes, I'll be posting things like this.

Jiraiya's newest comic on G-Men #196, 火のー用ー心

Jiraiya has published his newest comic, Beware of Fire(火のー用ー心), though G-Men #196. Here's the rough sketch of two main characters of the comic.   Here are some shots from the comic.   The man on the left is saying, "Don't you feel somewhat dangerous/risky, do you?" I can't read the line.   The man on the right is saying that "Call the insurance company". And the other man is responding "But what about today?(literally, today is a big problem)" *Because of the fire at the younger man's apartment, the elder man, who is the boss, let the younger man stay at his own home. *What's going to happen that night? Here's the cover of the magazine which includes the comic. Should I buy magazines or should I wait for another compilation comic book by Jiraiya???

Monni(Korean Indie Rock Band)'s M/V

The music video of Leaving Me , a song by Korean indie rock band, Monni depicts a lesbian couple, I recall. The video is no longer available, so I re-editted this posting. https://youtu.be/ooU9s68UBd8 Followings are the lyrics: 사랑해 내 귓가에 들려와 "I love you", I can still hear your words. 하지만 너는 내 곁을 떠나고 But you left me. 붉어진 너의 눈가에 눈물 Your eyes turned read because of the tears. 가슴이 아파 슬퍼하네 I(or You) looked sad and heartbroken. 나를 떠나가던 네 모습에 난 울었고 I cried to see you leave me. 위태로워지는 너를 떠날 수가 없고 But I couldn't leave you 'cause you became so insecure. 세상에서 너만 혼자라고 느껴질 때 When you feel you're the only one in the world, 너무 많이 널 사랑한다 말해줄께 I will say how much I love you. 나에게 바보라 말하지 마 Don't say I'm a fool 사랑이란 게 이런가봐 Maybe this is the way love goes. 나를 떠나가던 네 모습에 난 울었고 I cried to see you leave me. 위태로워지는 너를 떠날 수가 없고 But I couldn't leave you 'cause you became so insecure. 세상에서 너만 혼자라고 느껴질 때 When you feel you're the only one in th...
