Chasing down various filmmaker threads online just now, I just ran across an upload of Filmarilyn (1992), an experimental stop-motion short film by Paolo Gioli, using the famous photos of Marilyn Monroe from her last photo shoot (with Bert Stern). It’s not wank material (and you may not like the eerie music), so the film…

Photos by Gracie Hagen
Let me take this moment to say that I live in the best time, ever. I used to think I belonged in the 1920s or 1940s but no – I get to live in a time when incredibly talented female erotic photographers make stunning bodies of work and then upload them to the internets and…
Photography by George H. Lewis
Compelling, sexualized and controversial are three words I’m going to use to describe the photographic work of George H. Lewis, whose website was sent to me because it contains a couple shots of firebrand, activist and friend Madison Young. It’s my understanding that some of these photos will be on exhibit sometime soon in New…
The art of Daniela Uhlig
Berlin-based artist Daniela Uhlig has created so much sexy illustrated art in a diverse range of styles that I would be doing a disservice to try and list them all – you’ll just need to go see her website’s galleries and nude-tastic blog for yourself. I will give you a taste by telling you she…
The Studio211 Photo Project
Gorgeous girls, stunning photography and thoughtful yet no holds barred scenes make Studio211 my favorite new find. There is a lot to discover here. Studio211 is a project based in Williamsburg, Brooklyn that plans to compile a book with all these luscious, surreal and dirty shots. I definitely want a copy when it comes out.…
Chas Ray Krider – Motel Fetish returns with a website revamp
One of the most important and influential books – for me – in the recent decades of fetish photography and style was Chas Ray Krider’s Motel Fetish. I remember the minute I got that hardcover book in my hands; the way I saw the world went pervertedly upside-down and sexy, forever. Which is why I’m…
The art of Wishcandy aka Sashiko Yuen
Wishcandy, or Sashiko Yuen, is well worth adding to our list of favorite modern erotic artists. Her primary medium/methods are illustration and painting, and her subjects combine her interests which include “retro culture, street fashion, kitsch, beauty, and the grotesque” – as well as horror movies and candy. In sum, she’s crushable. You can follow…
Support Corwin Prescott’s amazing project: 50 Models 50 States
I think Corwin Prescott’s Kickstarter fundraising video (above) has to be one of the most touching and heartfelt Kickstarter videos I’ve ever seen. I’ve featured Prescott’s lovely erotic art here before, and this hopeful project he’s raising funds for – 50 Models 50 States – looks to be just as fun to follow along with…
Photography by Jls Birdy
Prolific erotic photographer Jls Birdy lives and works in Paris. His photos have a unique style that is kind of addictive; Birdy’s online portfolio is clunky to navigate but I found it hard to stop once I’d started – I just wanted to see more and more. A playfully garish artifice pervades his photographic world,…
George Pitts: Lateral Ellipsis
On the highly-recommended FLINGS Blog, George Pitts posts excerpts from his hot new shoot Lateral Ellipsis and writes, “The progress of a camera as it floats on a raft of observation across the waters of time.” FYI: there’s ellipsis and elipses (plural).
