Artist and illustrator Adam Graphite has always had a thing for big, muscular guys. We’ve been fans of his work for a while now, but what’s really grabbed our attention is how his re-imagining of Santa has given us a whole new appreciation of jolly men with big sacks.
I caught up with Adam to swap Santa fantasies.
You’ve said that it’s primarily the hair and the beards that inspire you to draw erotic muscle-daddy fantasies. From that perspective, is Santa the ultimate hairy muscle-daddy?
Santa was certainly my first bear crush. Yukon Cornelius too. Big white or red beards are still my thing.
You’ve written that in your work, bellies and small cocks are just as popular as abs and hung cocks. When you’re imagining Santa as a hairy muscle-daddy, what sort of physique do you see?
I do enjoy them all. If I have to pick, I’d always go with a classic belly Santa but I definitely enjoy drawing the hot muscle Santas as well. I’m not going to be picky – as long as the white beard stays.
Cable from the X-Men comics has long been one of your favourite characters to draw. Were you happy with the way that the character was portrayed in the recent Deadpool film?
Josh Brolin was kind of out there in my choices, but I do think he did an excellent job. My only two wishes would have been to digitally make him taller – kind of the opposite of the Lord of the Rings Hobbit effect – and also to give him a bit more personality. I prefer my gruff daddies with a heart. I am looking forward to seeing how they do with X-Force.
In your fantasies, who would you draw Cable getting it on with?
Almost always Wolverine – I love the height difference! Colossus, Hercules, Beast, or Bishop would be good Marvel fuck-buddies for Cable. DC’s men aren’t all that sexy for me, although maybe a Jason Momoa Aquaman, or Commissioner Gordon.
Beyond the world of comics and science fiction, where do you draw your inspiration from?
I’m a painter in my real life, so I spend a lot of time drawing and painting nudes. I teach that as well. Unfortunately, they’re almost never a type that’s attractive to me, but occasionally one shows up that finds his way into my comics. There are always guys that catch my eye out on the street, at the gym, at the grocery store. Real life inspiration almost always comes with an interesting job or hobby or uniform that gets my mind working.
When you’re drawing a muscle-daddy, which part of the body is the most difficult to get right?
Their butts – they’re just never quite right!
