2. Steven Klein Spread Eagle, Dutch Magazine 2002
3. Steven Meisel Speed Racer, Vogue Italia 1997
4. Thom Browne & Zac Posen Infiniti Q50, 2013

Steven M. and Steven K. are united by their love for hot wheels and naked flesh on cold steel. The car as metaphor for a 'large penis' has established itself as fashion accessory and, lately, statement collector's piece. Car pin-ups Thom Browne and Zac Posen agree.

A Short History Of The Comic Strip In Popular Culture X

1. Unknown
2. Andy Warhol Tongue In Ear, 1980
3. Jean Cocteau Le Livre Blanc, 1930
4. Barazoku Magazine 1971 - 2004
5. Gengoroh Tagame Gunji, 2005
6. Sadao Hasegawa Paradise Vision, 1996

Sex and comic strips or 'Outline Porn'. What begun with the introvert drawings of a young Jean Cocteau, a homoerotic dreamscape, has found its culmination in Hard Yaoi. In that sense, Warhol's idea of repeatability has turned into hardcore mass-comsumption.

Rare Species

Kaleidoscope Magazine

Printed matter, newly discovered, named 'Kaleidoscope'. As always with conglomerations of binded paper adorned with letters and images, I feel the urge to possess. Each issue. An archivist's addiction.

Shape Enhancer

Stefan Zschernitz Masculine Mystery, dansk #28

The recent relaunch of dansk is an aesthetic success story. What has added the final convincing touch is an increase of the male content dosage. We all know what to wear now.

Untraceable

Steven Klein for Dutch Magazine

It is a confirmed fact that I have a magazine fetish. I always wonder if it is based on the genetic human pre-definition as 'hunters and collectors'. To maintain this need, I am currently on the search for back issues of Dutch. Please hunt with me.
