Originally this post was going to be a short list of bara (gey comi) community and resource websites where you can find bara art but like many things, what you end up with is not what you set out to achieve. There are not that many community websites that focus on bara art, and many once popular bara blogs seem to have disappeared either with blog purges by some blog hosting companies, or because of boredom and lost interest by the blog owner. While there aren’t too many true bara art community type websites, I did find a few and they are listed here. On my journey from one bara website to another, I decided to go ahead and list websites that featured artwork by artists that focus on bara art and they are listed below as well. If you know of a bara art community resource site, or a bara artist that isn’t listed, please comment on the post giving me the updated information and I’ll add it to this post.

Michael Breyette
Michael is a self taught artist who began drawing as a boy and as his talent grew moved from drawing to full color painting. Because he grew up in a very conservative area of the USA, his early art included women to avoid undue questions about his sexuality. Once the internet found Michael and he realized he began a website where he published the art that really inspired him, and bara art lovers around the world couldn’t be happier. Most of Michael’s art draws from real life scenarios and features many average Joe, blue collar type men. You can follow Michael’s work and get a peek at his current projects by reading his blog.
Neil Bruce
The artist behind the Bearoticart blog. There are four main galleries on Neil’s site that feature his art, all of which showcase hot bearish men, lots of daddy types, leathermen, and some BDSM art.
Nicholas Brunet
Heavliy influenced by manga and anime, Nicholas started drawing male comics when he was 11 years of age. Due to his teachers looking down on the art of manga and anime, he pursued more of a realistic style through his school years which still influences his art style today. He looks at his gay male porn art as a way to tell the story much the same as in a musical production. His blog is filled with many pinups of hot men that any gay comics lover would gladly add to his collection!
David Cantero
Another widely published gay artist that focuses on gay men in a variety of real world situations. He loves drawing men in funny situations and finds his inspiration in the day to day interactions with people around him. You can read our profile of David Cantero here. David is also the publisher of a gay bara comic strip appropriately named “Dick Comics” about an unemployed computer programmer that seems to pursue sex as a way of life instead of looking for work. This comic strip is published by commission in the SpunkToons members area.
Chaz
A Spanish artist self described as a “guy who draws guys” definately deserves to be on this list of bara artists. Most of the works displayed on his site are examples of his commissioned works which range from GI Joe to naked detail pinups of Dragonball Z’s Tien. Lots of nice detailed art pinups of sinewey muscular men!
Chubtoons
A self described big man and struggling artist with a love and passion for men with meaty male physiques. His art features bulky men with big muscles, big cocks, and usually sucking on a cigar or a pipe.
Rob Clarke
Rob has a very interesting take on bara art with his main character Scoot, a submissive dog boy sometimes dominated forced into sexual situations by a sadistic monkey, along with just about anyone else who wants to dominate him! Most of Rob’s work is done in charcoal which means that most of his art is in black and white.
Dave Davenport
One of the authors (along with Justin Hall) of the “Hard To Swallow” comics series. Each issue features collaborative works from other artists such as “Tales of the Hard Roger” and “Birthday Fuck” by Justin Hall, “The Spirit of Folsom Street” and ‘Gigantic” (yes, it’s about huge cocks!) by Dave himself. There are presently four issues of the “Hard To Swallow” comic series but all of them are packed with tons of great art featuring nothing but men.
Seizoh Ebisubashi
This Japanese artist is often referenced on websites discussing bara art. His depictions of men range from short squatty men to hulking muscle men and Japanese office men in a variety of BDSM pinups. Seizoh’s art published on his website spans almost 20 years from 1990 to 2009 and his art is sold on G-Project. Unfortunately it looks like Seizoh is no longer updating his site which is such a shame, his art is incredible.
JC Etheredge
This artist finds his voice and expresses his views of gay men and the world they play in through his art. Finding inspiration in the world around him, JC usually draws men with an emphasis on huge cocks and bulging muscles, characteristics often found in superheroes. His art is well published and has been featured in a variety of websites, magazines, and art gallery showings. You can read more about JC Etheredge and his art in our profile of him.
Patrick Fillion
Many bara art lovers are quite familiar with the very popular bara art by Patrick Fillion. Patrick’s art always features lots of manly men with hard muscular bodies and huge bulging cocks usually all wrapped up in the tight as a glove spandex of a gay superhero or villian. His art has been published and is widely available on the internet and of course in his own shop at his website.
Tom Foral
Tom approaches his art from a variety of perspecitves, creating images of men in fantasy scenes, realistic scenes, satirical and even surreal or grotesque settings.
Ted Fusby
Another self taught artist that loves to create art depicting the beauty of real men, Ted likes to combine his art with other cultures to show his men in a different light and create an environment that teases the viewer with sometimes unexpected context…such as his gallery of Saints and Demons, a nod to leathermen but mixed in a religious light combining eroticism with religion. His art is divided on his website into several galleries by subject including Saint and Demons, Single Nudes, Couples, Outdoor sex, Locker Rooms, and guys in prison.
Noda Gaku
Another sought after Japanese bara artist who’s works are published in G-Men magazine and also has a gallery featuring some of his work on his website.

Jiraiya
One of the artists published quite often on G-Project with some of his more erotic but still non-sexual bara art on display in a special gallery. The art on his blog is not very sexual but still a good display of bara art from this Japanese artist.
Tom Jones (not the singer!)
Once a young southern American artist struggling to find his voice Tom realized one day he needed to stop dreaming about being a published artist and do something about it. Tom began his rise to bara art prominence by sending some of his work, unsolicited, to the Advocate Men magazine which loved his work and immediately hired him to begin illustrating stories. Drawing mainly in charcoal and using an eraser tip as his brush Tom creates some very graphic portrayals of real men in a variety of erotic situations.
Kerry
One of the youngest artists in this list who calls his work Yaoi but in reality it is bara art. He is drawing images of manly men for a gay audience which makes his art more bara than yaoi, but I quibble 
His art is still good, his men masculine and the cocks are big!
Cymon King
An illustrator who uses his blog as a repository of his gay work with special emphasis on his comic series “Venturer”. While his “Venturer” comic work is not yet displayed on his site, you can see several of the fantastic pinups he has done as commissions for others. Some really nice detail work in his art.
Michael Kirwan
An all around artist that loves men! He does Drawings, paintings, photographs and writes erotic bara stories! In Michael’s site you will find more than 20 galleries of pinups featuring all types of men in various sexual scenarios from the solo jerkoff, one on one sex, older and younger sex and sometimes even groups and orgies. Michael also posts some of his illustrated erotic stories and runs a store where you can purchase his bara art.
Kenzie Lamar
His blog is quite aptly named, Hairy Men Art, and that’s exactly what you get on his site. A video game artist by profession, the blog serves as his after work repository for his more erotic works. Look for the big hulking pinup of Max Tennyson from the Ben 10 series. Who knew such a doting superhero grandfather had such a kinky side!
Logan Kowalsky
A self described sex maniac, Frenchman Logan Kowalsky is a well known and widely published artist focusing on male domination and beastiality. He draws bears, chubby guys, super heroes, policemen, military men, and a variety of gay villans and demons that have become popular collector items for bara lovers around the world. We’ve done a profile of Logan Kowalsky here on SpunkToons that you can read here.
Steve MacIsaac
Influences by other artists, Eddie Campbell, Chris Ware, and Dylan Horrocks, is what shaped the way Steve developed his art focusing on hot beefy men in short graphic novels. Finding inspiration in the men around him every day, Steve feeds that information into his fictional characters bringing them to life to fulfil the fantasies in which he sees them. Read our profile of Steve MacIsaac here.
Butch McLogic

Mike
