So sad to hear that there won’t be any book on the horizon :( I only have fragmented folders of various images that I have been able to scrape together and a small colour strip of ‘Message to the Emperor’ that I was lucky enough to find reproduced in Buddy magazine a few years back. I would have loved a book gathering Oliver Frey’s gay erotic art and comic work. Even some 8X10 repros to purchase would be something…

Fantastic artist, absolutely inspiring, with a detailed and highly erotic style.

Hi,
if anyone is interested, a trip to oliverfreyart.com will reveal other areas of illustration I’ve been involved in. More is on offer at illustrationart.com
Any gay overtones are only natural…

Thanks Oliver. I understand perfectly about the prohibitive cost of colour printing.

Hi guys.
Sadly there most likely won’t be a collected gay Oliver Frey book. It would be expensive to produce, and I doubt the sales would stack up. As to posters… nothing definite, either. Sorry

Hi guys. As Michael, i would like to buy some poster of some colored pictures Mr Frey drawn, cause i’am a big fan of these. I think he really captured very well the gorgeous side of the young guys in the 80’s. With some relation slave-master like, these gay stories was absolutly very exciting and a real pleasure to read them with one hand :-)
I hope in a near future, we can found some books of quality with all the gay works of Mr Frey, like there is for Tom of Finland or other gay artist.

So please, mr Frey, i hope you are working on that project because i’am sure that i’am not the only one who want to buy it !

Best regards.

I was flicking through Arrumako’s Gay Blog when I reached ‘message to the emperor’. Those hairbands and tunics were *very* familiar. I just checked, and sure enough, Oliver Frey is the illustrator to ‘The Midas touch’ and ‘The monster in the labyrinth’ from ‘Storyteller’ (80’s partwork tapes). I always fancied his depiction of Theseus, even as a little girl (7 or so) and I must have stared at his Dionysus for hours, mesmerised. I did wonder if there was anything else going on in those illustrations, even when I was little…

Hi Michael. I've no idea whether any art is for sale. I presume if Mr Frey looks in here again he may be able to tell us. There are plenty of dealers selling comic art, of course, but I've never seen any selling hardcore gay material, their erotic sales are always straight pieces. The Adonis Art Gallery in London may know about past sales of Zack work.

Is any of Oliver Frey’s artwork available for purchase? I’ve been looking for years.

Thanks for commenting, Oliver. Great to have the Burroughs influence confirmed, I’d have loved to have seen more work in that direction.

The two paintings you refer to were indeed influenced by Burroughs’ work. They are ‘private’ works, i.e. not commissioned, acrylic on board, and hang here at home.
