They're not bad... They're just drawn that way.
Barring a scuffle with an eraser, these are the most perfect young bodies you'll ever see.
These boys are just naturally more "animated" than others.
AKNATON (A. Carrasco) is a Chilean artist living in Santiago, Chile who is gaining considerable attention for his art - a marriage of comic book style imagery and respect for art history. His works can be seen throughout Spain, on the internet where he is responsible graphic design of internet pages, and now thanks to the forward looking ventures of Bruno Gmünder Verlag his work is now in book form, making his very fine art available to a much larger audience.
LOS CHICOS ('The Kids') is a survey of sensual male images, nude and otherwise, involved in athletic settings or simply displaying a sense of arousal that is a rather modern day continuation of where Touko Laaksonen (AKA Tom of Finland) left off when his career ended in 1991. Indeed, AKNATON seems to be inheriting that mantle and he wears it well. These drawings/paintings/digital art renderings are not only accomplished as art, they also blend in elements of design that recall the works of past artists. His palette is rich and his imagination is wild! These men quite obviously seductive and meant for an audience of those who fancy the lustful dreams.
AKNATON is an obvious new talent and it will be fascinating to watch his reputation grow and see where else he will take is fine sense of mixing fantasy and sensuality with excellent art.
