Chelsea Boys was carried first by Next magazine, and then syndicated throughout the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Spain, and South Africa. Its acclaim led to two book anthologies (Chelsea Boys. Alyson Books, 2003; Chelsea Boys Steppin' Out. Bruno Gmunder, 2006) and an exclusive art show (Chelsea Boys: Hung) at the Leslie-Lohman Museum in October 2003.
