Celebrating a new year with Ivan Bubentcov
The sweet and talented Russian artist Ivan Bubentcov wrote to us this morning:
"I want to tell you that Facebook has blocked my account (I still hope that this is temporary.)
And for several days now I have not been able to go to my profile and publish anything!
And I just printed the calendars and would like to somehow inform my subscribers about it! (I think we have a lot in common.)
So I wanted to ask you to show gay solidarity and, if possible, post information about the calendar!
Link to ebay and photo is here.
I will be very grateful if you post this information, and also report my blocking on Facebook!
Yes! All my work can still be seen on Patreon!

53 Smoking Hot Drawings by Ivan Bubentcov
The prolific Russian artist sends us more of his super animated, super sex-charged drawings to drive us just a little crazy.
Despite the problems of being a gay artist in Russia, Ivan Bubentcov has created a vast archive of wonderfully erotic art.
"Hello! I'm from Russia. I was born in 1972 in a small town near Moscow.
"Since my childhood I was fond of drawing and have finished a children's art school, Abramtsevsky Art-Industrial College named after V.M. Vasnetsov, and then the Moscow Art and Industry Academy named after S.G. Stroganoff.
"Now I am engaged in interior design and drawing. Gay art takes a big place in my work. My heroes are ordinary Russian guys who can be found anywhere -- in a bar, at a construction site, in a forest and, of course, in a Russian bathhouse. They are a little naive, simple, but very attractive."
"For years, nobody, except close friends, have seen my gay works. There is still a lot of prejudices in Russia, so it's impossible to publish them officially. Nevertheless last year I printed my first gay calendar with a circulation of 30 copies.
"Of course, Tumblr, where I can publish my candid drawings, helps me a lot.
"Ivan Bubentcov is my pseudonym, which appears thanks to the only online gay magazine in Russia, Kvir, which publishes my works."
