The Velvet Collar Interviews

Storm, Rica, & Abel from Issue 1 of Velvet Collar:Unhappy Endings. Artist: Dave Davenport

The creators of Velvet Collar, a comic book series which examines the lives of male sex workers and the impact of the rentboy raid, are sex worker Bryan Knight and queer comic artist Dave Davenport. I interviewed Bryan in person and Dave by email for Tits and Sass.

Bryan’s describes his concept:

“..all five characters are based on workers or porn performers, active or formerly active. I wanted the characters to be inspired by real people and stories. Several are personal friends; they’ve signed waivers, legally allowing me to use their likenesses and names, although I stick with their performer names.”

Thanks to Caty and Josephine at T&S for the thoughtful edit.

 

 

Thank you for the love.
