PHOTOGRAPHY BY BLAKE LITTLE
Blake Little’s Manifest
An artist presents a new vision for the male archetype.
Ooooo, daddy! The Bible has been rewritten. Tonight, November 7 at Printed Matter, photographer Blake Little will be launching and signing his newest book, ‘Manifest.’ This comprehensive treatise on gay masculinity features a series of images of big, muscly, burly, bearded men.
Hold up, let me fan myself off for a minute.
The photographs were taken both in and out of Little’s Los Angeles studio, as well as in England, Canada, and across the United States. Some images are solo portraits, and others capture moments between couples. Some are nude and some are clothed. All are remarkable photographs.
Little hopes his work provides a “specific vision of men, in their environments, in their relationships, in their skin.” Manifest is 124 pages with 104 photographs, and a special forward by straight bear daddy Nick Offerman.
So whether you’re a daddy, daddy-chaser, bear, bear-chaser, twink, otter, cub, queer, queen, lady, ladyboy, or whatever, Manifest is sure to inspire, captivate and satiate.
Here’s a preview of some of the men featured in the book…
Book launch and signing, Thursday, November 7, 6:00-9:00PM, Printed Matter, 195 10th Ave. NY, NY.
