MALES in USA

back cover of one of the Males In USA publications put out by JDC Studios (Cadinot) – these one featuring the work of Jon Target (Target Studios) – model Brand (and here – Brand) – if you search “BRAND” on BJland you’ll get too any results, so I’ve linked 2 / 3 = including his AKA Brahm Van Zetten – I’m pretty sure the setting is Fire Island.

If I remember correctly, there might also be ROGER, Boyd Winner, and other models you’ve likely seen from Target.
