First of all, let’s take a moment to state the obvious: ‘gay’ is not a musical genre. Neither is ‘trans’ nor any of the countless other sexual and gender identities that exist outside the binary, and it’s grossly inaccurate to cram diverse artists of all kinds of genres and identities together under one banner. I’m aware of that. Yet there’s no need explaining that coming from a niche outside the mainstream often makes it all the more harder to gain the recognition you may deserve – and there’s an ever-growing number of phenomenal LGBTI artists, musical and otherwise, who deserve tons of it. Four of them I have compiled here; as an introduction, in case you’re not familiar, or just to revisit their work and keep you up to date on what they’ve been up to. So here it goes!

It seems more than ever these days that many creative endeavors would not exist without crowdfunding – and thanks to such a wildly successful campaign, the world will soon have a new edition of Hard to Swallow, a gay comics anthology brimming with sexy sweaty erotica comics, arriving April 11 on Northwest Press. This upcoming edition has both old and new material by ten different contributors, many of them by Justin Hall and Dave Davenport.

Startling, hilarious, occasionally erotic and almost always cryptic, the photography of Fennec Jackal functions like a crowbar, breaking open a treasure trove of countless incomprehensible and explicitly human lives. A soupçon of the paparazzo, mixed with a dash of the street-style blogger gone AWOL, a sprinkling of the voyeur and a pinch of the prankster make up this mystifying record of lovers and strangers, hurled together in an analog blur, by the artist’s halcyon touch.

Who hasn’t ever had dirty fantasies about go-go boys? With their muscular bodies, seductive hips thrusting to the beat, and pendulously swinging cocks hypnotizing everyone to want a taste… They are the reason most go to gay clubs at all. But these boys aren’t there solely for your horny pleasure, they’re there to make money. Duh!
And who the hell am I? If you’ve been following the blog at all, you may have wondered out of which horny hole this perverted punk has stepped. I won’t reveal too much – a bit of mystery is sexy, right? But a few things may be in order.
First, I was born in that part of the world that most people think is actually Canada, but it’s not. I was born in Alaska. Who would have thought that place could produce more than oil and Sarah Palin – two decidedly unsexy things.
Second, I’m no stranger to sex on screen. I appeared in two arty porn films with DVD releases: one in San Francisco and one here in Berlin. There may be other footage of me out there, but if so, I don’t know where. And yup, I moved to Berlin from gay ol’ San Francisco, where I learned to be a proper fag and how to be a writer all at the same time.
There’s more from San Francisco coming your way via Dandy Dicks, so stay tuned.
But I left San Francisco. And took my heart with me. Five years now in Berlin and I can’t think of a better place to be. I’ve been making it here as a writer ever since and I’m happy to report there’s no going back.
I think I’ve given you enough of the basics. More you’ll just have to find out either through this blog or a little Google. But I hope with that you stick around Dandy Dicks – for this blog and of course, the boys!
