Grateful Bears Perth asked me to create another poster for our annual series of events leading up Mr. Bear Perth 2026! It's always a big queer celebration, so check out their events page and grab your tix bearsperth.com 🔥 Plus there might also be a salacious version that has yet to be revealed 👀...

A poster for Western Roundup which is a digital illustration drawn in a warm, semi-realistic style.

The poster depicts a giant bearded man wearing a pink-ish red gingham long sleeved shirt. Several much smaller men hang out on his lap, hands, and belly. They're all wearing casual clothes, some with gingham patterns on their clothing. The giant man picks up one particular smaller man by the scruff of his jacket. The smaller man smiles brightly and presents a bouquet of roses to the giant, dressed in formal clothes. His pants are tugged open at the back by a friend of his, who's clambering up the giant man's belly while throwing rose petals into the air.

👃🏾 The Sniffing Mat Challenge! 🔥 Looking for a fun and sexy scenario to enact with a scent fetishist in your life? You’re in luck! Read my latest spicy @ohjoysextoy.bsky.social installment here: www.ohjoysextoy.com/the-sniffing...

Hien Pham draws in a lushly rendered style that alternates between realistic illustrations and simplified chibi-style cartoons in textured pencil lines. He uses the full spectrum of colors.

"Honey~" In cutesy chibi-style, Benji bounds buck-ass naked into the hallway. His shoulder-length dark hair is streaked with grays and pulled back into a partial ponytail while his thick handlebar mustache twists up into points at the end. His heavyset build is a light brown with a medium amount of black body hair across his limbs, chest, belly, and groin. "I'm ready for our bi-weekly sexy time~" He continues with a skip before stopping dead in his tracks at the sight of undergarments leading in a trail to an open bedroom door. "Oh my! What's all this?" He asks with delight, poking his head into the room. "Is someone spicing things up for the evening?"

"Maybe~" The voice of Aiden answers flirtatiously. "Would you like to play a game?"

Aiden lounges across their bed seductively with various articles of undergarments draped across him and the duvet. Though he is bald on top, the rest of his salt-and-pepper shoulder-length hair and medium-length beard grow thickly. Like Benji, he is a heavyset middle age man with light brown skin and soft body hair.

The comic title splashes across the panel: "The Sniffing Mat Challenge!"

With a gleam in his eye and a wink, Aiden concludes, "Read the full comic on https://www.ohjoysextoy.com/the-sniffing-mat-challenge-hien-pham/ (with full transcription) and get ready to follow your nose!"

"BRING IT ON!!!" Benji exclaims in his chibi form, pumping his arms in the air with an off-white blindfold over his eyes.

🍆 One Nudist Night 🍑 What do a bunch of male nudists get up to on an overnight retreat? Making conversations, playing board games, and overcoming social anxiety, of course! Read my latest travelogue right here: www.ohjoysextoy.com/nudist-night...

A digital comic page drawn in a semi realistic but mostly cartoony style of anthropomorphic animals.

Panel 1
Narration: "Earlier this year, I became part of a local nudist group by complete accident."
A bunny and a brown bear chat cheerfully.
Bunny: "I'm going to the beach this weekend."
Bear: "Ooh! Can I come?"

Panel 2
Bunny and bear arrive at a nude beach where several other nude animals have already set up shop.
A surprised bear thinks to himself: "I didn't realize this was a whole group thing!!!"
A jovial capybara calls out to the bear: "Join us!"

Panel 3
Bear sits down anxiously at a table in a cabin in the woods. A kookaburra with a cigarette in its beak glances at him while opening the door to go outside.
Narration: "When this overnight retreat came up, I felt pretty hesitant, as it's quite far beyond my comfort zone..."

Panel 4
Bear stands naked and slightly afraid in the cabin's kitchen, chatting with a nude capybara and meerkat.
Narration: "Still, I wanted to better understand social nudism, so I braced myself and committed to the agenda!"

Panel 5
Bear fans himself with his emotional support hand fan as he looks out toward an open room full of other nude furries making conversations.
Comic title splashes across the page: "One Nudist Night"

My pitch for a mini comic series of two dogs at a rescue trying to get adopted got rejected from a magazine but I'm still fond of this page I made so I hope you'll enjoy it 🐕🐶🌈✨

Panel 1
Long shot from above of a dog rescue. A small girl runs holding a skateboard in her arms while her dad (long-haired brown-skinned middle-aged man with a walking stick) chats to a rescue worker (grey-haired dark brown-skinned middle-aged man)
Dad: Excuse me, could you tell us more about these dogs?
Worker: Terry and Jam? Why, yes! Of course!

Panel 2
The trio stand in front of a kennel. The girl waves her hand excitedly from outside the kennel's fencing.
Worker: These poor boys have been with us for a little while now... but they're very sweet! And very excited to meet you!
Girl: Hi, doggies!

Panel 3
Jam, a huge brown fluffy dog with poofs of hair hiding his eyes jump up excitedly, his tongue wagging out of his mouth splattering drool all over the panel. His kennel mate Terry, a yellow and brown Terrier with thick fur around his snout that looks like a big mustache, jumps up with him enthusiastically. They both shout: "HELLO!"

Panel 4
The dad and the girl both have their faces comically covered in Jam's drool as the refuge worker gently moves them along away from the kennel. Jam sits down, regretting his excitement, while Terry desperately jumps up and down trying to get their attention.
Worker: I'm so sorry about that! Please, let me get you both a towel...
Jam: Oops... I got too excited...
Terry: Wait! Come back!

Panel 5
A disappointed Jam slumps down on the ground, his drool all over his face and the kennel floor. Terry maintains his intense energy.
Jam: We're never going to get adopted at this rate... Mayb we're just not calm or cool enough for a family, Terry...
Terry: Jam! What are you talking about?! We're the coolest!

Panel 6
Terry strikes a cool pose atop Jam's head who mirrors him
Terry: IN FACT, WE CAN GET EVEN COOLER!
Jam: Even cooler?

Panel 7
Terry and Jam look on from their kennel at the girl holding the skateboard who's laughing the whole drool incident off.
Terry: WE'RE GONNA LEARN HOW TO SKATEBOARD!
Jam: Oh! So we can be her friends!

Been hard at work prepping three mini OJST comic compilations for Perth Comic Arts Festival next month! If you're local please help me break even on these prints lmao 😭😭😭 I'll throw in an extra hug if you want! Proper announcements to come! Please support the OJST Pledge Drive in the mean time 🥺🙏🏾💖

A smiling artist poses in front of a computer screen showing three book covers he has been working very hard on! They're likely too colourful to print out properly lol. The three titles read: "A Bald Introvert Makes A Friend" "Bears, Pups, Leather! oh my!" and "Hankering For Hankies"

Did you know you can moisten the rectal swab before insertion for your STI screening??? So you don't have to poke it in DRY AS HELL????? Considering the staggering number of folks who have been GAGGED by this revelation (myself included) this might be the most important panel of my whole career 💀

Cartoon panel of a sexual health clinic nurse moistening a swab (for getting a rectal sample). He says: "You can also lightly wet the swab under tap water for easier entry."

A cartoon of me with a thousand-yard stare turns away from the nurse: "I've been raw-dogging it dry this whole time..."

A digital comic page rendered in a lighthearted semi-realistic cartoony style.

Panel 1: A chubby balding Asian man with glasses (Hien) sits in a small clinic office opposite a nurse with short wavy blonde-ish brown hair (Peter), scruffy facial hair, and blue eyes.

Hien: I'm ready for my STI screening! I feel fine, but it'd be nice to have peace of mind!
Peter: You're doing the right thing!

Panel 2: close-up on Peter's face as he smiles and nods.

Peter: You know, the majority of infections we detect at M Clinic are in asymptomatic folks. That's why regular testing is key!
Hien: Right!

Panel 3: Side shot of both of them conversing. Peter puts one hand to his chin while Hien does an affirmative fist pump!

Peter: Usually, we'd chat about your sexual history and determine what tests would be right for you... But, if you're after a thorough screening, may I recommend the whole suit of tests?
Hien: I'm down!

Panel 4: long shot of the outside of the M Clinic building. It's a small and unassuming with certain walls painted in the M Clinic signature deep sky blue. A man is seen stepping out of the building while whistling. The title of the comic "Let's Get Tested!" splashes across the panel. "Read the full comic on OhJoySexToy.com" caption lays below it. A small speech bubble with a little Hien head pops out of the corner: "Made in collaboration with WAAC and M Clinic!"

Up late taking photo refs and having a rare "I'm okay with my body" moment so here is a fuzzy photo to commemorate 🌈✨ft. Shibari & Speedo combo for Summer Pups over the weekend 🏖️

A chubby Asian man stands in his low-lit room. He faces the camera to smile gently. He is shirtless and wearing just his shorts.

A red Shibari tie flows from above the man's shoulder across his chest, overlapping the same rope coming from the other direction making an X right in the middle. The ties make smaller diamonds down toward belly before splitting across his soft waist to get tied off behind his back. He has one hand pulling a green floral shirt open to show off the tie. There's a hint of a classic red Speedo underneath.

A digital comic page with close-up panels of a brown Asian man putting on a yellow and brown latex wrestling singlet. His friend off-screen gives him encouragements as he reflects on the experience in the comic narration.

Close-up of the man standing naked on a towel, scrunching up the latex suit getting ready to get into it.
Narration: A couple months ago, I was going through a bout of low body confidence.
Hien: Do I just step into it?
Friend: Yep!

Close-up of the suit half-way up his body. He follows his friend's instruction to pull it up. His friend helps him with the final steps by stretching the suit over his shoulder.
Friend: Slide in, push out, pull up.
Narration: My dear friend Bauzer reached out and offered to put me in his spare latex. He hoped it would help with my body image as it always did for him.
Friend: Pull your arm through.
Hien: Haha! I'm trying!

Close-up from below looking up at the man now fully suited with lube and sweat rolling down his legs.

Not an hourly comic, but not not an hourly comic.

A sketchbook comic drawn in pencil with 5 panels. Each landscape in composition and place in a column.

A small cartoon man treks through five different settings: a field of sunflowers with clouds in the sky, through the garden of a woman dancing by herself in her room, a local park with a park benches and a lake, a pool on the rooftop of a hotel, and uphill through an Australian hike with waterfalls in the background.

The man keeps a steady pace with a blank expression on his face. On the 3rd panel (park with bench and lake), an identical man calls out to him: "Keep going!". On the 5th panel, the identical man joins the hike, saying: "Almost there."

The two men now walk together through the same settings as before, only the point of view is slightly changed: the sunflowers face a different direction, the woman now lays on her bed in thought, the men wall through the lake in the park while the ducks watch from afar, they walk on the other side of the pool, and the Australian hike breaks out of its panel, sprawling across the bottom of the sketchbook page.

The two men converse on their journey:
"Am I close?"
"I hope so."
"Am I just walking in circles?"
"Maybe."
"But the only way out is through."

A lusciously illustrated digital comic page featuring two anthropomorphic characters: a brown bear wearing glasses and a white lab coat, and a lion wearing nothing but a towel.

Panel 1: the bear jumps into frame with fingers on the side of his temple: "I HAVE A VISION!!!". The Lion peeks out from the bottom of the screen: "For the future?". Bear: "A SEXY FUTURE!!!"

Panel 2: the bear imagines himself in a dark and steamy environment. Lit by bright pink and purple lights are four fantasy dildos strapped to a bandolier across his chest. Bear: "A future where I walk into a sexy event with top confidence, ready to spoil any bottom I fancy with their choice of strap-on!". Lion peeks out from the clouds of pink and purple steam: "Oh my!"

Panel 3: back to their regular setting, the bear folds his arms to ponder: "...but, I've never topped with a strap-on before... How does it work? Is it even comfortable? Enjoyable?". Lion pulls his towel off his waist, arches his back, pumps up his fluffy bottom, and glances cheekily across his shoulder: "Sounds like you've got questions my ass could answer~"

Panel 4: the bear and lion clasp hands excitedly as their noses touch. Bear: "For real?!". Lion: "Totally! Let's conduct some experiments!"

Panel 5: the bear and lion punches up toward the sky enthusiastically. Title of the comic reads: "Local Side learns how to Top! Read the full comic on https://www.ohjoysextoy.com/local-side-learns-how-to-top-hien-pham/ "

A digital comic book page illustrated in a colourful and cartoony style. A cartoony chibi Hien sits down at a bench and observes multiple windows into different memories he's seen and experienced. He closes in on two memories: one of a man putting sun screen on another man's hand while holding it tenderly, and one of a bald and bearded old leatherman smiling brightly as someone caresses his face.

Narration: "My hair started falling off in my 20s right when I felt like growing it out. It's a hard thing to reconcile with sometimes."
"I can't deny that sometimes I wish I looked different... but my hairline's recess is a landmark of how I"m changing into someone I didn't realize could exist in the first place."
"Who knows, maybe one day someone could look at me and feel okay about growing into my image."
