Call for art/photo submissions:FUR the love of hair


Open call for art/photo submissions: FUR the love of hair



Following a successful third print run ofHAIR—HAIRY MEN IN GAY ART, publisherBRUNO GMÜNDER returns with FUR: THE LOVE OF HAIR in an even larger format!
Authors Ron Suresha and Scott McGillivray, both well-known and respected in the Bear community, team up to offer a guided pictorial tour of the hirsute male physique. As Ron wrote in his introduction to HAIR, “To love hair is human — to fur-give is divine.”
FUR: THE LOVE OF HAIR will further explore the manscape of the hirsute male using dozens of contemporary images. These photographs and illustrations will portray male body hair by the top names in the Bear art world, including many independent and lesser-known artists; giving them a chance to display their outstanding work.
Essays in both English and German, interspersed among the images, will examine various aspects of gay/bi/queer male fur as they are displayed on various parts, and the whole, of the body.
The book will portray a fully diverse range of male images in age, body size and shape, disability, ethnicity and race, and geography.
Fur will be a visually captivating and provocative coffee-table book that celebrates the worldwide cult of the hairy masculine man.
