I'm really surprised and disappointed to admit when i post a thread it's clear I'm not interesting many people, not only talking bout replies, but even clicks...
when i see how many replies some others get, getting opinions, feedback and more from all the usual members, i simply don't understand.

I already knew that with the toons i posted before, not much feedback, words, well... but even when, for once, i make a topic to have a simple advice, the only reply is a stupid *troll* (as we say in French), a commentary useless and annoying. Fortunately i replied to myself in a useful way. As one could say: "if you want the job done, do it yourself".



Of course, this doesn't encourage me to post more, I'm getting back to lurking, and maybe only reply to some threads when I'm in the mood.

And, as a conclusion, I'm better at drawing than at writing, so i shut up and draw.

I'm glad to see the second episode of the comic strip published!

Jeth's Club #2

I'm currently working on the third one, and many feedbacks show people really interested in Nimo, the second character.

Hell, just like me : he's very surprised!
EDIT: hem, it looks like i speak too fast... some people don't find him as attractive as some others. Too bad, dear Nimo!

OK, it's not working very well yet, but... hey i'm workin' on it!

Oh, and BTW: i had to help myself all alone with the webcam buying, as nobody wanted to help me replying on the topic i created for the occasion (the very last one, for sure), and fortunately it's a GREAT webcam, a good .avi recorder & stand alone cam. I love it!

Dedicated to all hairy guys. With all my Love.

Strangely, i get more feedback from French speaking people (France, Belgium..) than american or others for this second episode... this is the one introducing Nimo, a very important character.
I put some light on this comic strip and the first ever episode, as the third one is on his way (online at the end of may) and i'm producing the fourth one nowadays (with a brand new and exciting character, hé hé hé!!).

Enjoy!

Okay, i couldn't resist no more:
I bought one of the muscle shirt i saw to get some clothes for my characters, i just loved this model from 2(x)ist and bought it online from an american website!!

When i draw this character, Keo, who's gonna appear in Jeth's Club #4, on the cover of JustUsBoys.com Magazine #1 and on a forthcoming advertissement, i told myself i had to show the original product, and i played with my webcam!!

Well, okay, i know, i need to work out more!!

We go seperate ways.

A Life to build again.

Life goes on.

The advert says it all, but this event will also be the JustUsBoys exhibition, as you’ll discover for the very first time the print versions of the official JUB mascot, Jeth, and his buddies Nimo and Keo, and three of the “Jeth’s Club” comic strips, and also the boys from Emptyclosets.com. And MUCH more!

Furthermore, you’ll see there the printed copies of the BRAND NEW JustUsBoys.com Magazine! As you’ll see very soon, the cover of the magazine is also the cartoon of all adverts you’ll see about the event.

So, to all the incoming travellers, tourists, business men or whatever, American, Canadian, European, Australian and ALL OVER THE DAMN WORLD who are about to come to Paris, France this summer, I say welcome and see the exhibition, I’d be so happy to see you around!

I may find time to meet some people here, if you’re not afraid of an infamous French accent and bad English! Reply here and we may meet at the Blue Book Paris bookstore.

The Event takes place from July 4th (yeah US Independance Day, isn’t this GREAT?!) to August 1st, BUT it may go on all month until September 5th, I’ll tell you when this will be sure.

Last words to Seth and JD: this has been possible ALL thank to you, I owe you my career and I Love you. Thanks A LOT.

Damn! I just LOVE the brand new single from Jamiroquai, which inspired this title...

This photo was taken last week in Paris, during a week i had to build my new life as a young single gay guy full of projects & dreams.
My expression here reveals what the man want to be: happy, delighted, positive attitude & Life.

Paris, i'm coming for ya this week again and i move in and i'm gonna rock your ass!!!

I guess i've always been yours, i believe you've always been a part of me. You're the one I Hate, the one I Love, the one I live in, the one I have always wanted.

Please, forgive me for letting another Love make me lose myself, letting lose you.

Now that i'm in you, i just know I've always Loved you. For now, forever and ever after.

Well, I know I've not been around much these past months, and not anyway on this blog.

I went, I'm still going through a very hard period. Probably the hardest times of my Life. My ex boyfriend has committed suicide, I saved his life with a phone call, thanks to his parents living close to him, while I'm miles away for 3 months, in Paris.
I have no home, no job, not much money to go on. Fortunately I have true friends who can help me at this time.
I met someone, i fell in Love and just as i was beginning to believe in Happiness, the suicide. This destroyed the early Love affair, of course, and it really blew me apart.
I gotta build every piece of Me and of my Life now.

People say i am courageous. I say I'm not: i just have no choice: face it and Live. Or die.

Well well well... it's been so long I didn't come there, how this site has changed, it's impressive.

I was sad to see the mascot I created, Jeth, erased almost everywhere, even if I knew it was about to happen months ago.
Then I realized all my galleries were blocked... okay, as all users, etc. I read the private message, but, well, I would have expected something different for the past cartoonist of JUB!

Thanks to the few people who wrote me & to the others who didn't forget me. I did not forget you, the website, the whole thing that happened. It's a great souvenir, really.

My life has changed so much during the past year, Even myself ! No more beard, long hair, etc. This is my new face, my new smile too: I'm happy with my new life. Finally, at 34. For real.

everybody.

Damn it's so hot here in France.

The good point is many guys are almost naked, in the street or at the office, or always naked at home (well, just like me!).

I need a cold drink!

Waiting for the storm to come!
