Hope everyone had loads of presents for Christmas and that 2011 has began filled with promise and hope.

Today I decided to show you some covers I did for my good friend Eric Arvin (click here for his Blog). These books are great FUNNNN! and I truly recommend them to everyone in need of a good laugh and romance :)

Huge hug!

A FANTASTIC 2011 FOR EVERYONE!

WELCOME

2010-12-22T17:47:00.005Z

Welcome once again to my almost forgotten blog.

It's been a while since we've gathered around this 'fire' and exchanged stories and ideas. It's been TOO long. My bad, I know...

I'm hoping I'll make it up to you all that used to follow this blog and in the process give the newcomers reasons to keep checking this.

Since the Holiday season is upon us, I thought this illustration I did recently would be perfect to kick off this blog 'reboot' and accompany my best wishes to everyone: may you get a truck load of presents from Santa and that the coming year brings you all that you have wished for!

Huge HUG all around and welcome :)

MEATCUTE'S ABEL BODDY

2008-07-09T09:05:00.003Z

I try and keep this blog updated, but there’s always some new Project I start working on that keeps me from doing it… Sorry, guys and gals.
Today I decided it had been too long. So here’s an illustration I did of Abel Boddy for good friend C.Edwards.
Hope you like it.

666 COMICS

2008-05-12T15:53:00.002Z

Those who know me and know my work, know I’m more into the lighter and more fun side of sex rather than the leather, S&M, bondage scene. Still, the other day I found myself inspired by one of the characters at www.triplesixcomics.com and now I’d like to share it with you.
I originally had planned on asking the guys at that website to sell this as a poster, but I think they have already too much on their plate. So here it is. Hope you like it.
Hugz!

FINISHED!

2008-05-05T16:13:00.004Z

Sorry for the absence, but I hope it made your hearts grow fonder... heheh

I’ve been so busy trying to finish my upcoming book for Bruno Gmunder and I hardly had time for anything else.
But now I’m pleased to announce that it’s finally finished and ready for printing!
It will be out by the beginning of the summer and I hope everyone likes it. I had a blast doing it.
And to wet you appetites –and other parts…heheh- here’s a preview.
Enjoy! :-)
HvH

ANYONE STILL HERE?

2008-03-18T11:41:00.003Z

Yep, I know it’s been a while, but if I’m to release the ‘Gone to the Movies’ book at Bruno Gmünder this Summer, I have a lot of work still to be done. And I really don’t want to disappoint everyone who has already pre-ordered it at Amazon and all the other sites where it’s already being advertised … ;)

The post today, however, is about my on-going series at FRESHMEN. Well haven’t you heard? I’m doing a monthly strip at everyone’s favourite gay magazine!
And since I’m working on the 12 th episode (probably due on June or July) I decided to celebrate ‘the Adventures of the Link’s first anniversary with a post here, showcasing the first 2 pages I did to present the project and the first one that got published.

As you can see, I had originally planned on doing the series on another, much faster, style… but I ended up going with my regular style instead when the series started.

Hope you like these and next time I’ll show you some more previews of ‘Gone to the Movies’!!!

HUGZZZ!!!!

GONE TO THE MOVIES -HvH at Bruno Gmünder

2008-02-01T15:39:00.000Z

Well I guess the cat is out of the proverbial ‘bag’. Today I did a search for ‘HvH in the blink of an eye’ at yahoo and I found out that one of the projects I’ve been working kind of secretly lately is already being promoted.

Slated for the Summer of 2008, my next book is going to be published by the German imprint Bruno Gmünder and it’s going to be a 64 page extravaganza called ‘Gone to the Movies’. I’ve always been a fan of cinema –anyone who knows me, knows that- and this book is intended as a real heartfelt praise for that fantastic art form.

I believe it is already available for pre-order from a number of sites and if I didn’t have to go do the book I’d copy the links here… ;)

Here’s the preview for the cover without all the lettering.

IT'S BEEN A WHILE...

2007-11-19T10:02:00.000Z

...since I've posted anything, so today I decided it has been TOO long.

Still, since the stuff I'm working on right now is sort of a secret and there's still nothing I can show from it, I decided to search my 'oldies vaults'...

This is the first ever illustration I published on MEN Magazine.

Speaking of MEN Magazine, the magazine has been featured in a very cool blog. Check the article by clicking here.

Also, the latest Eric Arvin novel "Slight Details & Random Events" with cover and interior art by yours truly, has been announced in the author's and publisher's websites. I had the previlege of reading the book beforehand (in order to make the illustrations) and I assure you it's worth every penny! Spectacular short stories that range from the hillarious to the more somber aspects of being gay in the twenty first century. Fantastic read from beginning to end.

A lot of people have also commented on my own comic book 'In the blink of an eye' that's for sale in a French and English translations, but I'd like to know from EVERYONE! So comment on. Did you buy it already, did you like it? What was your favourite story? Did you recommend it to all your friends?

Class Comics has also just released two great new books: 'Brother to Dragons' and 'Mark of Aeacus'. And be on the look out for Logan's and Patrick Fillion's 'Deimos', coming soon.

Hugz!!!

BEEN BUSY… (part 2)

2007-10-18T21:39:00.000Z

This has got to be the busiest week of my life! But I had to manage a few minutes to post something here for you guys :)

- One of the projects that has been keeping me busy as hell lately is Eric Arvin’s upcoming novel ‘Slight Details & Random Events’, an anthology of his best and most fantastic short stories – including Honeysuckle Sycamore that he and I did as a Blog a while back. It’s being published by Dreamspinner Press and it will feature not only a cover by yours truly, but also a bunch of interior illustrations. So keep an eye out for this one ;)

- I believe all gay men over the age of consent know what COLT is, so when one of their hottest models, Adam Champ, asked me if I’d do a portrait of him I said: OF COURSE! Here’s the result.

- Been finding some very cool reviews of my graphic novel ‘In the blink of an EYE’ (French version here; English version here) online. Read them HERE, HERE and HERE. Thank you to all the reviewers :)

BEEN BUSY...

2007-10-06T12:01:00.000Z

Lately –and thankfully- everywhere I turn there’s work and more work for me to do. That’s why I haven’t been here much. But let me try and correct that with a ‘multiple-posting’:)

- Check out my pal J. Bone’s blog for the collaboration of the century: J.’s fantastic artwork painted by yours truly! Go check it out and come back with your comments and impressions. Here's the black and white version...

- Here’s a Green Arrow I did for DudeTube. His blog is great and one can lose oneself there for hours ;) For the full version of the illustration go to his blog and scroll down.

-And lastly, one more caricature of a great guy and an even better friend.

Hugz,

BACKSTAGE PASS III

2007-09-27T09:25:00.000Z

This one was planned for the book 'The art of HvH' published by Class Comics. The whole idea behind this was to have tattoo swirl from one character to the other... only I never got the tattoo design right and gave up on this illustration.

HUGZ!

BACKSTAGE PASS II

Hope you guys like it :)

HELP ME OUT, GUYS :)

2007-08-31T09:00:00.000Z

I’m so very proud of my graphic novel ‘In the blink of an eye’ that I’d wish every single gay man in the world would end up getting a copy… so I decided to ask you guys a favour: if you are a regular at some gay bar, disco or gay book shop, would you print the image below and ask the owners to show it at their establishment? Please? Pretty please with sugar on top?
This would be such a great help on spreading the word about my book and gay comics in general…

For the French guys who might like to help, I’ll make another poster as soon as my French editors tell me the release date for my book in French :)

THANK YOU!!!!
HvH

BACKSTAGE PASS

2007-08-30T18:00:00.000Z

Every time I do an illustration for MEN Magazine or FRESHMEN, I usually have to show at least 2 sketches so that the editor can chose which he likes best and also which suits the design plan he has in mind for the magazine. For every illustration published, I end up keeping at least another one in sketch form.
Yesterday I was going over my older works, looking for something, and I found some of these sketches. Some of them are quite cool and I think my editor has had some really hard times selecting the one he’d use on occasions.
Want to see them?
Here’s the first.

This one ended up not being used in favor of an illustration that is now a part of my portfolio at Class Comics.

Hugz,

'IN THE BLINK's FIRST REVIEW

2007-08-26T12:48:00.000Z

I just got word that the first review for my graphic novel ‘In the blink of an EYE’ is up at nightcharm.com… and it is a GREAT review :) Go check it out, please.
And while you’re at it, read all the other posts on that blog… Apart from having loads of insightful information, John Calendo and Crew add just the right amount of humour to really make it worth your while.

Thank you John! :)

CARICATURES

2007-08-16T11:07:00.001Z

Here are a couple of caricatures I did for some friends of mine. I'm not usually very good at portraits, but I think I did alright with these two :)
The one on the right has a profile at myspace, check it out to see if my caricature resembles him :)

THIS IS REALLY CRAZY...!

2007-08-11T10:55:00.000Z

So I was bored and decided to take the most unlikely character in the world and turn it into this sexy hunk...lol Readheads are cute, aren't they? ;)

2007-07-10T09:25:00.000Z

NELLY FURTADO'S GLOW

2007-06-26T15:04:00.000Z

Well, this has got nothing to do with my usual naked men, but I hope you enjoy it nontheless...lol The other day I got to listen to the latest album from the Portuguese/Canadian artist Nelly Furtado and I just loved the song GLOW. Loved it so much that this image just poped into my mind.

NEWS

2007-06-22T09:11:00.000Z

I feel like I’ve been neglecting this Blog a little, so today I decided to do a sort of a ‘double post’…
Firstly, there’s a small preview of the cover I illustrated for my great friend and writer extraordinaire, Mr. Eric Arvin!!! (standing ovation now ;-) His second novel is about to be released and I’m truly proud he chose me to do the cover.
It’s a hilarious comedy that everyone should read, set in some very special suburbs…
To get to know the man a little better, read some other works from him and learn more about this and his other published work, please click here.

As for the second part of this post, I just wanted to tell you that the latest issue of Freshmen (cover date July 2007) now on stands, features not only an illustration I did for a naughty story by the bold Boots Bryant, but also the very first page of the ongoing (hopefully) strip called: the Adventures of the Link, by yours truly.

SCI-FI MEN

2007-06-15T08:58:00.000Z

Today, I decided to show you an illustration I did some time ago for Unzipped Magazine, for an article about the sexiest men on Science Fiction series in Television history.

This piece was really hard to do but I love it.

Hope you like it too :)

Who do you think is the sexiest men in Sci-Fi today?

2007-05-10T19:42:00.000Z

Even if you don't understand Brazilian, this is a Blog you can still enjoy...
Was there the other day, reading his posts and looking at his drawings, and I decided to 'steal' an image and try this weird colouring technique.
Check it out here.

THE GUARDIANS OF THE CUBE

2007-05-09T10:59:00.000Z

This was something I did just for fun a while back. Since my dear friend Patrick Fillion was asking me to do some pin-ups of his characters from ‘The Guardians of the CUBE’ series, I decided to do this to get a feel for all his wonderful heroes… and to train my hand at that ‘other’ style I have. The coloring is quite different from what you’ve seen from me before, but that’s just it: I like to experiment a lot on these pieces that aren’t actually meant to be used commercially.

And the winner is...

2007-05-09T10:55:00.000Z

For all of those who guessed the topic of the ‘would be book’ below, and fallowing the great suggestion of our friend Mr. Barry, I’ve decided to ‘award’ you all with 2 wallpapers from the previous post. Hope you like them :)

GUESS THE TOPIC

2007-04-26T17:01:00.000Z

And now, back to our regular programming…
These are samples from a project which was turned down by the editors, not because of the actual illustrations but because the same topic was already being done by another artist: non other than Glen Hanson himself! Check out his book when it comes out.
To make a long story short, can you guess what the book was going to be about? ;)

THANK YOU (part II)

2007-04-26T16:54:00.000Z

And here’s an update on my ‘thank you list’:
-A humongous ‘thank you’ to my editor of the past years at Men Magazine and Freshmen… Armando, you’re GREAT! :)
-To ‘Klahd’ for his off the charts funny interview, now on ‘meatcute’.
- And last but not least, the man without whom I wouldn’t even be here: you know who you are ; )

THANK YOU

2007-04-18T22:01:00.000Z

Wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who's been so nicely publicising my work and my book published by Class Comics:
- A special thank you to Patrick Fillion and Fraser for all they do and for believing in this project :)
- A BIG thank you to Glen Hanson who wrote me a wonderful introduction for my book;
-Thank you to John Calendo at Nightcharm.com ;
-Thank you to The Gay Comics List ;
- And to all the guys who took some of their time to stop by my Blog to leave their much appreciated comments :)

And while I'm at it, here are some more with the same characters. They were from a series I used to write and co-draw with this wonderful guy that signed his work as TWOLF for a portuguese bears site. It lasted for over a year with weekly -at first- and then twice a week installments that were really fun to do.

AN OLD ONE WITH A SERIOUS REMINDER...

2007-03-21T11:47:00.000Z

UPCOMING ON H&O...

2007-03-16T10:38:00.000Z

Hope you enjoy :)

b) the one with the high contrast shades and flat colours

c) the one with the bears....
