His homosexual-themed cartoons were among the first to appear in US publications, including a regular feature in the early years of The Advocate. He worked under two pen-names: Shawn for more mainstream gay publications such as In Touch, and Sean for niche publications such as Drummer. In the 1970s he did illustrations for novels and collections of short stories published by Larry Townsend, and his Leatherman’s Handbook. In the mid 1974 he created stand-alone wordless  comics Biff and Biff Bound for San Francisco publisher Le Salon. During this time he produced eighteen 10-page comics stories for photo-story magazines published by Nova Studios, which were reprinted in Meatmen. In the 1980s he also did art direction for some of Nova's films and videos. In the late 1980s he produced \"Up the Block\", a humor comic strip set in a gay neighborhood. He is considered by many to be a pioneer in the gay civil rights movement.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Arial\"\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Arial\"\u003e\r\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cfont size=\"6\" face=\"Arial\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOxxbridge Galleries\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"6\"\u003eEstablished 1987\u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Arial\"\u003e\u003cfont size=\"5\" face=\"Arial\"\u003e  \u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Arial\"\u003eOxxbridge Galleries was founded in 1987 and specializes in vintage paper items with a particular focus on counter culture materials. \u003cstrong\u003eWe carry among the largest selection of fine art gay photographs, magazines and collectibles available anywhere on line.\u003c\/strong\u003e We invite everyone to visit browse our store and view our entire inventory. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHave an item to sell? Contact us and speak with our staff.
