fumetti e illustrazioni

I Colt Studios sono stati fondati nel 1967 da Jim French, già famoso fotografo di nudo (come Rip Colt) e illustratore. Inizialmente gli Studios erano soltanto un ufficio per vendere fotografie e disegni, solo in seguito French passa a fare video porno gay e diventa regista. Jim French nasce nel 1932, frequenta la Philadelphia Museum School of Art tra il 1950 e il '54; dal 1955 al '57 è arruolato nell' Esercito. Si stabilisce a New York e diventa illustratore con lo pseudonimo Arion prediligendo disegni omoerotici caratterizzate dal forte impatto romantico evitando il nudo frontale (molto in stile Varga), in seguito i disegni subisconono un sostanziale cambiamento, incentrandosi su temi decisamente più virili come motociclisti, cowboy, lottatori e altre figure legate al machismo. French, assieme al socio Lou Thomas, fonda i Colt Studios per produrre e vendere per posta fumetti, disegni e fotografie. L' impresa ha successo; nel 1974 compra la quota del socio e trasferisce gli uffici della Colt in California. Inizia a realizzare fotografie di nudo maschile anche frontale diventando l'aziensa leader dell'erotismo maschile dopo l' AMG di Bob Mizer, vengono prodotti i primi film porno gay. I suoi uomini sono virili, muscolosi, non depilati, su calendari, riviste e libri fotografici fanno il giro del mondo. Nel 1999 la Colt entra in internet per evitare il fallimento e ritorna leader del settore. Jim si ritira nel 2003; questi sono alcuni disegni, riscoperti negli ultimi anni e rivalutati dalla critica.

Colt Studios have been founded in 1967 by Jim French,

already famous photographer and illustrator. Initially, Colt had only one office to sell photographs and drawings, later switched to gay porn videos. Jim French was born in 1932, he attended the Philadelphia Museum School of Art between 1950 and '54, from 1955 to '57 served the U.S. Army. He settled in New York and became an illustrator under the name Arion preferring homoerotic drawings with an high romantic impact without frontal nudity (similar to Varga's style); years after the designs have a substantial change, focusing on issues far more manly as bikers, cowboys, wrestlers and other figures related to machism. French, along with partner Lou Thomas, founded the Colt Studios to produce and sell by mail comics, drawings and photographs. The business is successful and in 1974 he becomes the sole owner of the Company and transfers Colt's offices in California. He begins taking frontal nude pictures and directs the first gay porn films; Colt becomes the leader of the erotic male market after the historical Bob Mizer's "AMG". His men are virile, muscular, hairy; Colt's calendars, magazines and photo books are around the world. In 1999, Colt enters into Internet to avoid bankruptcy and returns a leader. Jim retires in 2003; these are some drawings, discovered in recent years and re-evaluated by critics. http://www.jimfrench.com/
