We've always wondered why we've never come across the gay equivalent of Patrick Nagel—you know, the kind of graphic art featuring women with shoulder pads and Wayfarers that you usually find on posters in strip mall hair salons. Fortunately, there's something about Jinko's rasterized versions of porn stills and beefcake shots that saves them from reminding us too much of the smell of Polo and the taste of coke drip that we usually associate with 80s-looking art; this is some genuinely sexy stuff. And once you've had your fill of Jinko's brand of graphic design, there's still dozens of galleries of amateur photos, dirty video clips, and miscellaneous found imagery on his portfolio site and accompanying blog to get sticky over. Nagel himself should've been this prolific.
