Yam Fam erotica artist orcamode sat down with MJ Lyons for a discussion of his art and his favorite erotic works.
What’s your favourite thing about working on BL or porny art and comics?
I love comics because it’s made up of suggestions. Each panel teases a small part of a larger scene, and the scene is completed through a collaboration of what the artist puts down and what the reader interprets. This aspect of comics is why I love it as a medium in general, but I also think comics are a great medium for porn especially. Sex and our feelings about sex are very personal, and there’s so much room to explore ourselves in the gutters between every panel, both as an artist, and as a reader, and I think that’s what makes comics so addictive.

The Yam Fam’s Emily Forster has been announced as the winner of the 2019 Honey & Wax Book Collecting Prize!
Forster’s essay offers a series of insights about the fan-made books she collects, gradually revealing the narrative conventions, circumstances of production, and readership of the material. Honey & Wax says, “We admired her observations on the power structures ‘fanfic’ subverts, her attraction to ‘the ultra-niche within the niche,’ and her insistence on ‘what is beautiful about the illegitimate, the indulgent, and the disposable.’ ”
