We've always liked porn pup-slash-renaissance man Blake Harper: Daddyish enough in flicks like Titan's "Boner" or Falcon's "Sting" when we're feeling that. Now that he and Colton Ford have semi-retired from porn, we thought that our Blake Harper love-fest would peter out. Not so. Just as Colton has found music, Blake is now making a name for himself in art.* His portfolio is a mixture of styles; much of the work is digitized erotic art, including sepia- and blue-washed stills from some porn names that you may recognize. He also does some painting, and his technique is sort of a Warhol meets Tom of Finland in a David Hockney kind of way. -RM
Blake Harper Portfolio (gallery @ pridesites.com)
Previously: Colton Ford: "Naked Fame", "Hellbent"
*Ed. note: Banana Guide begs to differ that the gallery linked above is actually by that Blake Harper. The jury is still out as far as we're concerned, but at least there's one thing we can all agree on: "Stealing copyrighted photos and running a few Photoshop filters on them is not art."

Update Mystery solved: it looks like the online portfolio is by an artist who apparently calls himself "Emenen" and includes a gallery featuring doctored photos of Blake Harper, which is the gallery linked in our original post. Fleshbot regrets its error ... all those polarization filters must've been making us dizzy.
