Today is artist Slava Mogutin’s birthday! His partner, Brian Kenny, took the occasion to post some great photographs of Mogutin:

It’s also Cosmonautic’s Day in Russia, and last year at this time I posted part of a poem by Mogutin. I’ve since removed that posting, so I thought I’d take today to repost it:

getting laid was just as complicated as getting drunk
everyone tried to get by the best they could
grechko and sevastianov secretly humping each other in the kitchen module of the soyuz-apollo station
at first it was tricky to figure out how to catch sperm so it flew all over the station occasionally smearing across someone’s face or the monitor’s screen
everyone getting high according to their own taste
some on pills some on powders some intravenously
mutual misunderstandings layered one on top of another
they say those who’d been in the k-hole had been to outer space
I’VE BEEN THERE I’VE DONE IT

You can read the rest of the poem at Mogutin’s blog.

I’ve written about Kenny (and his partner Slava Mogutin) before, so it should come as no surprise that I have a huge homocrush on both of them.

Slava Mogutin posted outtakes yesterday from his photo shoot with his partner, Brian Kenny, for Butt Magazine’s 2010 calendar. There’s so many things I love in these pictures: Kenny, bikes, and dogs:

I’ve written about my love for both Kenny and Mogutin before, and I love any chance to post pictures of or by them. I thought I’d throw in some pictures that Kenny illustrated. I don’t know that I’ve ever posted any before, and that’s a major oversight:

Hope everyone has a good morning.
