I bought this print from a booth at AX 2007. The booth was promoting YAOI con. Needless to say, I got several prints from them since it is so hard to find beautiful male images elsewhere. I am not particularly interested in displaying anything hardcore, so you would think that any art booth would do. It’s not like the cons are attended by an overwhelming number of men.

Anyways, I think it was the gentle look on his face that really attracted me. I also like the contrast between his long black hair and pale skin. The wings and chains seem almost unnecessary but I guess the artist was trying to appeal to as wide a crowd as possible.
