Santa has been the subject of many tales over the years, but not many are as explicit as those in cartoonist Michael Broderick's "Naughty," an exhibit that portrays Claus as a sexed-up homo on the prowl for hot man-on-man action. The nearly-30-piece collection, a loose interpretation of The Night Before Christmas, follows "Nick" and all his bits and pieces as he does the nasty with a bunch of dudes on Christmas Eve. For 14 years Broderick has been finding ways to gay up commonly hetero storylines. He says his illustrations, which typically feature a beefed-up daddy-type in the lead, must live up to the expectations of his own fantasies. "If it doesn't turn me on, then I've failed and I'll scrap the drawing and start all over again."

Opening reception Fri., Dec. 11, 5-8 p.m., through Dec. 31, AxD Gallery, 265 S. 10th St., 215-627-6250, a-x-d.com.
