Queer shotfilms cumming soon??? Gae-bong-bak-du(開封迫頭) means "coming soon" in Korean(chinese). Gay-bong-bak-du is Korean short queer films which were filmed by non-professional gay directors who used smart phones or DSLR cameras in filming. Last Saturday, I had a chance to watch the films at Korea University. I can't say that the movies are well-crafted but they're inspiring and lovable. After the films, some of the directors gathered to answer to the questions from the crowd. One of the directors was Byun-chun who is also a famous comic writer (see ansgel*crazy). It was a very rare chance to watch these kinds of short films. I hope there will be more and more chances and more films from now on.

Jiraiya is releasing another comic anthology. But it is a kind of "updated" version of the comic book which was released years ago (see below). The newer version contains 3 more comics which were released after the 1st version's release. And it also contains various new stuffs, says Jiraiya.

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

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.

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 .

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.

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.
