“I draw gay comics because they’re a natural intersection of my sexual identity and my artistic interests†says MacIsaac. “The work I will serialize in ‘Roughs’ is sex-positive and playful. Though most of the comics are silent, I establish character and story through facial expression, body language, clothing and background. I like drawing people, not just assemblages of body parts.â€
“Steve’s work has justifiably earned him a following among erotic comics aficianados, gay or straight. We’re thrilled to have him on board. There’s something about his work, its directness and bluntness, coupled with an eye for design and staging unmatched in most of the comics field, that makes these erotic stories stand out from the pack — you couldn’t do what he does in prose, or in video, or in any other medium,†said Joe Botts, the site’s editor.
MacIsaac ’s comics have appeared in a number of anthologies and zines, including Turnover, Boy Trouble, True Porn, What’s Wrong? & Holy Titclamps. The first issue of Shirtlifter, his solo comic book, came out in April, and he is working on the second issue. STICKY, his previous foray into erotica with writer Dale Lazarov, was recently issued as a handsome hardcover by German gay artbook publisher Bruno Gmünder.
Asked why he wanted to be a part of AdultWebcomics.com, MacIsaac said “I’m hoping it will be a platform for smart smut, whether it be gay, straight or pansexually perverse. I’m hoping to reach an audience beyond that which goes to gay bookstores specifically seeking out this kind of material.â€
“Roughs†will update every Sunday.
