Absolutely obsessed with this caption in the Etienne comic "Jock Itch." I can't find a date for it anywhere, my source wasn't exactly academic, but he was active from the 50s thru the 80s.

Amazing leatherman art by the one-and-only Etienne, also known as Dom Orejudos. Another find in the Gay People's Union Newsletter. The Gold Coast club had damn good taste in art for their ads!

His artistic journey was profoundly shaped by a chance encounter with a likely bootleg magazine featuring the works of Tom of Finland, an event he claimed "irrevocably changed his life." Quickly establishing himself with his unique black-and-white pen-and-ink style, Rex became synonymous with an emerging S&M graphic aesthetic, alongside luminaries like Dom Orejudos (aka Etienne and Stephen), Steve Masters (‘Mike’ Miksche), and Luger (Jim French). The raw sexual energy of Rex's early drawings resonated deeply with the burgeoning leather scene in neighbourhoods like Greenwich Village, Chelsea, and the meatpacking district.

Dom Orejudos a.ka. Etienne or Stephen started making gay-male erotica in the 50s. Most of which were collaborative efforts with the iconic “Tom of Finland”.  Orejudos did mostly leather inspired erotic comics. He also started some of the first gay erotic themed events, like International Mr. Leather. I find his artwork to be essential to gay culture. What I love about his work is that it was not just art--it was an erotic artistic movement ! I didn’t want to flood this with info from wikipedia but here is more information about him.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dom_Orejudos
