Boy Meets Hero - 20 years of Love and Art

In 4 years of JezzLoads, you've never seen a Valentine's Day post. I personally feel Valentine's Day has to be the most redundant of holidays. People who are in love know they're in love and don't need a holiday to remind them. And if they did, they have birthdays, anniversaries, Thanksgiving, Christmas - come to think of it; most holidays are designated as a time to remind loved ones you love them. Valentine's Day appears to be a big commerical ploy to get everyone to spend money and is used too often as a means to make single people feel bad about being single. 

That said and out of my system, this Valentine's Day serves as the perfect occasion to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the boys behind Boy Meets Hero. 

The creators of Boy Meets Hero, Chayne Avery and Russell Garcia, both recently celebrated their 40th birthdays and next month will be celebrating their 20th Anniversary.

I have to say, I have a hard time imagining being with anyone for 20 years, but seeing these two guys interact with each other certainly inspires me to try. 
I have the privilege of hanging out with these guys regularly. They are a team; both romantically and professionally. They're not one of those annoying TV couples that finish each other's sentences or always bicker. Instead, they interact like best friends - an interaction that is more romantic than any of the hollywood interpretations I've ever seen. 
I had to know, how do they make it work?! Here's what the two had to say when I questioned them separately...

Happy NEW Year!!!
I hope everyone is enjoying their start to 2010. In spirit of a clear direction I want to take this blog, I've given it a name, JEZZ LOADS.
I'm startin some new "traditions" to the blog; startin with a monthly Calendar Guy. Calendar Guys will be posted in wallpaper size for your desktop convenience and note the birthdays of folks in the world of gay comics and erotic art. If you forgot or didn't know, both Silencio and JC Etheredge celebrated birthdays this past week. It's never too late to show them some love. Boy Meets Hero's Chayne Avery will be celebrating his on the 21st.
Speaking of Chayne, I had so much fun interviewing him, I decided to make my questionnaire a regular post as well. You can look forward to an intellectual and lusty insight into some of your favorite artist. And of course I've got LOADS more art cummin your way, from fan and slash to original works. I've got a couple of surprises in store too!
It's gonna be a great year and I couldn't be more excited!
Happy New Year, Everybody!!!

Boy Meets Hero's Chayne Avery

This summer I was super surprised to learn I was sharing the same small city as the creators of Boy Meets Hero, Chayne Avery and Russel Garcia.
Upon meeting them, I was shown the largest collection of action figures I've ever seen and stayed up late playing video games. Suddenly, I was 8 years old again and wondering if my mom would let me stay the night so I could play with my new friends' toys.
Since then, our geek nights have become a regular event in addition to brainstorming sessions and sharing artwork. Both of them have blown me away with their array of talent from sculpting to illustrating and cartooning.
I've had so much fun getting to know these guys that when Chayne told me he put up a blog, I decided to do an interview to share more about him with you guys.

Yesterday, Chayne sat with me and discussed the new blog and the future projects. Being the pig that I am, I took the opportunity
to also probe him for the sexy goods I assume everyone likes to know
