Me listening to Ryan Beatty's gay-as music: this is really sweet and mellow gay yearning 😭 Me reading Ryan Beatty's gay-as lyrics: half of these songs literally takes place while he's having anal sex 😳 Even though it's a bit more mellow than my usual music, I am a new fan 😭!!!

Grateful Bears Perth asked me to create another poster for our annual series of events leading up Mr. Bear Perth 2026! It's always a big queer celebration, so check out their events page and grab your tix bearsperth.com πŸ”₯ Plus there might also be a salacious version that has yet to be revealed πŸ‘€...

A poster for Western Roundup which is a digital illustration drawn in a warm, semi-realistic style.

The poster depicts a giant bearded man wearing a pink-ish red gingham long sleeved shirt. Several much smaller men hang out on his lap, hands, and belly. They're all wearing casual clothes, some with gingham patterns on their clothing. The giant man picks up one particular smaller man by the scruff of his jacket. The smaller man smiles brightly and presents a bouquet of roses to the giant, dressed in formal clothes. His pants are tugged open at the back by a friend of his, who's clambering up the giant man's belly while throwing rose petals into the air.

Wild that PCAF is happening in a few days 😱 I've been working so so hard and it felt like the stress would last forever but it's here! During the most stressful moments I would listen to RAYE's Lifeboat while imagining myself holding the printed fruits of my labour standing behind my half-table πŸ₯²

πŸ‘ƒπŸΎ The Sniffing Mat Challenge! πŸ”₯ Looking for a fun and sexy scenario to enact with a scent fetishist in your life? You’re in luck! Read my latest spicy @ohjoysextoy.bsky.social installment here: www.ohjoysextoy.com/the-sniffing...

Hien Pham draws in a lushly rendered style that alternates between realistic illustrations and simplified chibi-style cartoons in textured pencil lines. He uses the full spectrum of colors.

"Honey~" In cutesy chibi-style, Benji bounds buck-ass naked into the hallway. His shoulder-length dark hair is streaked with grays and pulled back into a partial ponytail while his thick handlebar mustache twists up into points at the end. His heavyset build is a light brown with a medium amount of black body hair across his limbs, chest, belly, and groin. "I'm ready for our bi-weekly sexy time~" He continues with a skip before stopping dead in his tracks at the sight of undergarments leading in a trail to an open bedroom door. "Oh my! What's all this?" He asks with delight, poking his head into the room. "Is someone spicing things up for the evening?"

"Maybe~" The voice of Aiden answers flirtatiously. "Would you like to play a game?"

Aiden lounges across their bed seductively with various articles of undergarments draped across him and the duvet. Though he is bald on top, the rest of his salt-and-pepper shoulder-length hair and medium-length beard grow thickly. Like Benji, he is a heavyset middle age man with light brown skin and soft body hair.

The comic title splashes across the panel: "The Sniffing Mat Challenge!"

With a gleam in his eye and a wink, Aiden concludes, "Read the full comic on https://www.ohjoysextoy.com/the-sniffing-mat-challenge-hien-pham/ (with full transcription) and get ready to follow your nose!"

"BRING IT ON!!!" Benji exclaims in his chibi form, pumping his arms in the air with an off-white blindfold over his eyes.

Not a specific feedback but I used to attend local comic cons to get my portfolio reviewed and one time an international illustrator guest star glanced at my pages for less than a minute and all they said was "this is bad", refused to elaborate, then waved me away 🀑

If you see this, please tell me the worst/most baffling bit of creative feedback you've ever recieved. Mine is still the time somebody told me my aliens had names that were too alien. Not that they were unpronounceable, just that they didn't sound enough like human names.

Randomly watched The Sheep Detective with a friend last night and it was a genuinely good film and got both of us to laugh and cry!! Would recommend! His puppy even sat up to watch with us for a bit before taking a nap 😭

Was hesitating on getting Ghostwire Tokyo because I'm easily influenced by reviews and people kept saying "it's the definition of mid" then I remembered being enthralled and moved to tears by Cook Serve Forever like what stays in my heart sometimes don't get invited in by others so who cares!!!

Hien Pham draws in a lushly rendered style that alternates between realistic illustrations and simplified chibi cartoons in textured pencil lines. He uses the full spectrum of colors. He is a Southeast Asian cisgender heavyset man with a short, bushy, black beard, fuzzy body hair, and glasses. He is mostly bald on top, with the rest of his hair pulled back into a bun.

Caption: 9:00AM

Chibi Hien sleeps soundly in his bed, dreaming of tropical sunsets on the beach and making out with his crush. In his arms he snuggles a shiba inu plushie and one shapped like a croissant (or a sea shell?). His alarm clock rudely jostles to life with loud beeping. 

In the shower, Chibi Hien wonders to himself, "What am I working on today..."

Dressed in his khaki shorts, Chibi Hien performs his morning exercises and stretches.
