Drubskin, also known as "Drub" (August 14, 1973; born in Derby, Connecticut) is a fetish artist most known for his homoerotic illustrations and comic book work. 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.
Drubs's website and column garnered him attention from the gay male community at large and by 2000 his work began appearing in gay magazines worldwide.
Drub began exhibiting his work in the 2000s and in 2003 he had his first international solo art exhibition at Mr. B's in Amsterdam. Drub has also shown his work in galleries in Los Angeles, Toronto, Berlin, Amsterdam, and participates annually in the Seattle Erotic Art Festival.
Drub currently works with several independent publications, includingFreshman, Instigator and Blue magazine. He also sells hand-illustrated greeting cards for Mr. B in Amsterdam and Berlin, The Leatherman in New York City, as well as many others.
He and his partner live in San Diego, California.
