HOTTIES IN ART by @jackshoulder.bsky.social comes out later this month and he was gracious enough to write a guest blog for Proud Geek about his favourite hotties in geek culture. Sound interesting? You can read the full blog here: proud-geek.co.uk/post/hotties... #queerbooks #booksky

Snippet from a guest blog by Jack Shoulder about hotties in geeky art. Text reads: HOTTIES IN GEEKY ART - guest blog by Jack Shoulder. Heroes come in all shapes and sizes. Some of them save the world on a regular basis, others pull off cosmos-preserving feats, while others still might fight for big ideals like truth and justice, but do so on a more down-to-earth level. And that’s just the good guys! Geek culture abounds with hunks, heroes, gods and a weirdly sexy monster or two. Whichever media you choose to consume your geekiness through - be it movie, manga, comic or book - there will be a hottie especially for you. Read more at proud-geek.co.uk/blog
