After Dark - Book One - The Perfect Catch.

Welcome to After Dark—a tribute to the lost era of 80s horror fiction. From the shadows of the woods to the neon-lit streets, this series explores the chilling, campy, and classic tropes of 80s horror through a queer lens. Each cover is a standalone piece of art, capturing the thrill of a late-night paperback discovery.

Full Contact Sports Tales: Book Three — Closing the Distance.

They say keep your guard up and your eyes on the prize, but it’s hard to focus on the championship when the prize is staring right back at you.

The stadium lights are hot, the crowd is screaming, and the tension in this ring is thick enough to break a sweat. It’s supposed to be a heavyweight match, but it looks like these two are ready to skip the referee's count and go straight for the clinch. A 69¢ special where everybody wins. 🥊✨

Want these heavyweights on your wall? This vintage cover art is officially available on my Redbubble shop! Grab it as a high-quality art print, poster, sticker, or notebook to add some classic queer pulp energy to your space.

Blazing Saddles: Book Three 🤠

When The Sheriff Comes.

High noon in the desert, and the new sheriff is giving the locals a lot more than just a badge to look at. A sun-baked frontier town where tempers flare, shirts stay open, and nobody is paying attention to the law. 🌵

A celebration of classic vintage beefcake and rugged Western pulp romance. 🎞️

Available on hardcover journals, pins and more.✨

Big Metal. Bigger Muscles.

They traveled across the galaxy to find adventure, but they didn’t expect the local machinery to be so hands-on. A classic pulp-inspired piece featuring weathered textures, retro-futurism, and a robot that clearly doesn't know the meaning of "personal space."

Sweet Canyon College No. 2: Opposites Attract.

The campus bad boy has a reputation to protect, but some distractions are worth the risk. 🎭

A study in 80s-coded tension—shadows, heavy silence, and a meeting backstage that definitely wasn't in the script. When two worlds collide in the dark, the real drama starts after the curtain falls. 🎞️

Available on notebooks, throw pillows, and stickers in the shop. ✨

Full Contact - Sports Tales: Book Two ⚾

Running The Bases.

Tempers flare at home plate. A collision that turned into a standoff—where the heat of the game is nothing compared to the tension of the touch.

They’re too close to be rivals and too stubborn to back away. A study in grit, sweat, and the electric friction of being inches from the edge. 🎞️

Available on art prints, tees, and stickers in the shop. ✨

The Middleweight Contender. 🥊

Tony Caruso for Volume 1, Issue No. 2 of The Male Form.

We all know the "Physique" magazines of the 60s weren't actually for the boxing tips. This is a tribute to the high-grit, "coded" archives and the men who filled the pages.

Tony is available on art prints, tees, and stickers in the shop. ✨
