Spotlight on Instagram’s Best Gay Artists: Meet Guido Fiato

The Italian word for “bear” is “orso.” Keep that one in your back pocket. It might come in handy during your travels around the world.

That’s also a key word for the art of Guido Fiato, an illustrator based in Naples whose preferred subject is muscle bears. He draws men thick, muscled and beardy. He’s not the only one, of course. Just last week we also profiled Leonardo Gutierrez’s Super Smash Bears. But there’s something about Fiato’s line work that captures a sense of softness and fun even when he’s showing a guy who’s ripped.
