Although I’ve featured a number of his hot homoerotic Class Comics beefcake illustrations, I’ve really been horribly remiss in putting together a gallery for the prolific Patrick Fillion, so here you go!
Be sure to check out the ClassComics links and QueerSUPE Comic Shop Patrick Fillion store to find these 4 hardcover editions of his work AND MUCH MORE!!!
Homoerotic comics artist Patrick Fillion was born in the province of Quebec, Canada, in 1973 where he was raised Catholic, but when he was 6 his family moved to British Columbia. It was there that he discovered his first comics … the Uncanny X-Men. He fell in love with the characters, but his inability to read a word of English inspired him to learn the new language so he could find out what they were saying. It was the beginning of a fanboy geeklove that would stretch from the X-Men to other comics and then grow to include fantasy, science fiction and more.
Patrick grew up reading and comics that inspired him to write and draw his own creations. Encouraged by an unprejudiced high school art teacher, he’d been illustrating the male form from an early age but it wasn’t until he moved to Vancouver that he explored and embraced the more erotic overtones of his work, evolving what was merely slightly erotic to full blown XXX erotica.
A natural talent, Fillion originally wanted to go to the Emily Carr Art College but after showing his portfolio, they told him he could already TEACH how to draw comics and sent him on his way. When Patrick was 19, he moved from a conservative town to Vancouver. Finally able to accept that he was gay, he began to learn more about his new community and immersed himself in the genre of homoerotic comics.
Patrick Fillion’s lifelong fascination with superheros in spandex led he and his life and business partner Robert Fraser to form Class Comics, a publishing company specializing in gay-themed erotic comics with a very unique stable of heroic hunks.
From Camili-Cat, (a sexy Felinoid bottom who can’t seem to get enough hard-core sex), to Naked Justice (a daring superhero with a minimalist approach to fashion and a very large and UNIQUE weapon) to the callboys of Satisfaction Guaranteed, Patrick’s Boytoons are some of the hottest and most recognized of our day and age.
In addition to his Class Comics work, Patrick’s illustrations have graced the pages of gay adult publications such as Black Inches, Latin Inches and Torso magazines. Patrick Fillion’s art is not limited to his explicit homoerotic works. He has worked on several advertising campaigns for companies such as: RSVP Vacations, GayDemon, FleshJack by Fleshlight and Ajaxx63.
As an artist, Patrick takes a special interest in the Gay community, and believes in the importance of helping emerging artists to find their voice. Through his blogs, Boytoons Magazine and Artistic License, Patrick continues to encourage new artists as well as established ones, believing in a Gay artistic community that is proud of its oeuvre and supportive of the creators it is comprised of.
Patrick strongly believes in Class Comics‘ ability to contribute to Gay Pop Culture in a positive fashion, and to create memorable Icons which are embraced by a community who can be proud to call them our own.
In 2006 Class Comics began publishing other Gay creators such as Logan (Porky, Demios), Ismael Alvarez (the Art of Ismael Alvarez), Max’ (Rainbow Country), HvH (In the Blink of an Eye), Mike (The Art of Mike portfolio) and Zan Christensen (The Mark of Aeacus) to name just a few.
