Drubskin

Who is Drubskin?

Drubskin, also known as "Drub" is a fetish artist most known for his homoerotic illustrations and comic book work in the late twentieth century to present day. "Drub", is San Diego, California based and has ties to Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice and the punk subculture.

Drawing since the age of 15, Drub's illustrations incorporate various fetishistic interests in footwear, sportswear, subculture-specific clothing, rubber, sado-masochism and watersports. Most of the men he depicts are part of the punk, skinhead, and working class communities, drawn in a homo-masculine manner. His work is typically done in a comic book style, with bright colors and heavy line weight.

In 1991 Drub moved from Connecticut to Kansas City, Missouri to attend the Kansas City Art Institute where he eventually earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration.

In 1995 Drub was asked to write a first hand account of his sexual exploits in the punk and skinhead scene for a webzine called Nightcharm, as a way to promote his art. His punchy and opinionated writing became a standard part of his column earning him the pseudonym, Drub. Drub is a play on the verb which means to beat or thrash.
