Surveillance and thermal imaging in porn: Cult classic, The Operation

I’ve written about this film many times over the years, and a recent email from someone trying to track it down reminded me just how great The Operation (1993, 12:50 minutes) still is. It’s a sexually explicit sci-fi style scene shot entirely in infrared, and the effects of body heat and cooling fluids are riveting.…

“Call Me Honey” by Jamie Hewlett

Nowness writes, “For his first-ever solo exhibition, graphic artist Jamie Hewlett explores a range of disparate subjects, from ‘tarotica’—a titillating reinterpretation of the tarot’s Major Arcana—to photorealist illustrations of a bucolic French landscape. Known for creating punkish comic book Tank Girl and the characters behind Damon Albarn-fronted ‘virtual’ band Gorillaz, here Hewlett pays homage to…

Riveting, sensuous erotic nudes by CubCollab

If you’re a Tumblr erotic photo/art nudes prowler, you’ve probably come across photos with the name CubCollab appended to them. Like most things Tumblr erotic or not, the source of these is tough to track down, and Google’s increasingly muddled (and prudish) search doesn’t help in tracking down artist attribution. Lucky for you, research is…

The gorgeous art of Jean-Sébastien Rossbach

Does the stunning erotic art of Jean-Sébastien Rossbach look familiar? If so, then it’s because he’s known for having “illustrated the covers of Dan Simmons’ Hyperion series, George R. R. Martin’ A Game of Thrones, Robin Hobb’ Royal Assassin and about a hundred more covers for novels, video games, comics, and so on… JS works…

The outrageous sex toy designs of Bastiaan Buijs

A blown-glass, wind-up, steampunk-evoking vibrator and a vibrating, penetratable fleshy blob of a vaulting horse are the centerpieces of Design Academy Eindhoven (Netherlands) graduate Bastiaan Buijs‘ final year project. Grandfathers Clock and The Satyr each present as suitable for inclusion in a Scandinavian home design aesthetic, yet, to me, retain something that reminds me how…

Kink’s ‘Bitch Better Have My Money’ Parody

Here’s a little light pre-Folsom Street Fair fun: Some of the artists and performers at Kink decided to make a mini-parody of Rihanna’s superb music video Bitch Better Have My Money (a non-YouTube link is here on Vevo if you’re held back by Google’s restrictions)., called Bitch Better Lick My Honey. You can tell they…

New documentary – Identity: In & Beyond the Binary

Erotic photographer and filmmaker Dave Naz has been doing some really compelling work around gender, sexuality and identity over the past few years. It’s also really important work, because there’s nothing like it. Naz’s examinations not only focus on gender, identity and areas of sexual spectrum that are consistently overlooked, sidelined and ignored by most.…
