About Drub

Drub is a fetish artist most known for kinky homomasculine archetypes in his art: skinheads, punks, truckers, skaters, devils & rubbermen.

Drub's filthy little process

At fifteen, I was already obsessed with drawing the things I hadn’t yet done — but fully intended to. My sketchbooks were confessions in graphite: sweaty, unfiltered, hungry. I’d lock myself away, pour my fantasies onto the page, and let my imagination (and other things) run wild. My sheets told stories no one else would ever read. Then, back under the mattress it went — my secret gospel of filth.

Art college blew that closet door clean off its hinges. Suddenly, the world was full of beautiful chaos — greasers and punks and skinheads in bathrooms, mosh pits, and back alleys. I kissed, bit, and painted my way through it all. My fantasies became field research. The early internet became my second awakening: a place to flaunt, flirt, and find others like me. That’s when Drub was born — part artist, part deviant saint, all heart (and maybe a little hard).

To my shock, people wanted what I had. The mythology, the occult, the raw, joyous filth — it all dripped from my imagination onto paper and canvas. Before long, Drub wasn’t just a name; it was an invocation. A promise of kink and color, of sacred smut made holy by brushstroke and sweat.

The energy I put into my work comes across as authentic because I enjoy all the things I paint and draw.

In The Studio

I’ve been doing this a long time, and the fire still burns. My work feels real because it is real — every fantasy, every perverse little joy, I’ve lived or dreamed with absolute pleasure.

The process? It’s alchemy. I sketch, refine, and then either ink and scan for digital painting, or build color directly on canvas until the forms emerge from the dark. I play with lighting in the studio, set the mood, crank the music, slip into something that makes me… happy. Sometimes my husband plays guitar while I paint; sometimes I slick up in rubber and let that energy pour into the art. It’s a ritual of transformation — body to canvas, desire to pigment.

My work tends to move fast — collectors know what they’re after. The piece I’m standing beside now is my biggest yet, and it’s fresh from the easel. If something catches your filthy little eye, reach out. I update the site as often as I can between projects.

My therapist calls this my Phoenix Era — apparently I’m supposed to rise from the ashes. Fine by me. I’ve still got plenty of sparks left, and more butts to paint (and play with).

Where Are Those Filthy, Horny Prints?

Ah, yes — the prints. The infamous, limited-edition Drub prints. Gone from the shop, hidden from public view. Why? Because I’m planning something bigger. Something bound, collected, and absolutely dripping with all the delicious depravity I’ve made over the decades.

You might still spot a few prints at shows or on my Mastodon, but for now, they’re resting — waiting for rebirth.

After 35 years, my fans remain gloriously loyal, filthy, and global. My art lives in 40 countries, I had three international shows before I hit 30, and one of my pieces even lives in a museum (don’t tell the curator what it means).

Between exhibitions, comics, and occasional publications, I also find time to garden, bake, tinker with RPGs, and do a shocking amount of home repair — often in nothing but a jockstrap and a good mood.

I might age, but I never mellow.

Find me on Mastodon, and let’s keep the filth alive
