Clocked Off

Welcome back.

First: thank you for your patience. BULGE has been quiet for a while, but it has not been abandoned. I needed time to step back, reassess, and rebuild this properly.

A lot has changed. In Australia, new social media age restrictions have pushed major platforms into a very different compliance environment requiring ID verification for almost everything now. At the same time, stricter laws around non-consensual AI-generated sexual material and deepfake content have made it necessary to think much more carefully about how AI content is created, presented, and shared. I don't want to go to jail!

BULGE is now being rebuilt with clearer structure, stronger intent, and a better home. Social media is changing fast, and relying on it alone no longer makes sense. This website is where BULGE can exist properly: as a visual archive, a creative project, and a community built around men.

BULGE is reborn in editions.

Think of them like small digital magazines: focused collections with their own theme, mood, subject, styling, and atmosphere. Each edition will bring together images, ideas, and a clear visual direction rather than random posts scattered across platforms.

Supporting the website helps keep the work alive and gives BULGE a place to grow beyond the limits of social media. But support does not have to be paid. Following, liking, commenting, sharing, and engaging with the work on social media still matters, and it is always appreciated.

Now that I have finished uni, BULGE is going to become a real focus again. I want to build this into something stronger, sharper, and more connected. A place for the people who get it. A place for fantasy, masculine image-making, and a community of men and admirers who want the work to keep growing.

I am always listening to ways to make that better.

Without further ado, meet Joey — the first feature of the new BULGE edition.

Clocked Off is about that charged moment at the end of the workday.

The shirt loosens. The office mask drops. The polished version starts to crack. Work is finished, the night is waiting, and the gear comes out.

This edition follows Joey as he moves from corporate control into something hotter, and more physical: business wear, rubber, after-hours energy, and the fantasy of a man finally stepping out of the day and into himself.

I also see a lot of myself in Joey. Not literally, but in that feeling of moving through the day with a version of yourself that is controlled, useful, polite, professional, and acceptable. The daytime mask. The one you wear because the world expects it.

Clocked Off is about peeling that off.

It is about the moment after work when the performance starts to loosen. The shirt opens. The body comes back. The fantasy gets closer. The man underneath the role starts to show himself again.

That is what Joey represents in this first edition: not just a character, but a release. The shift from obligation into desire. From being watched by the day to choosing how you want to be seen at night.

Welcome to the new BULGE.
