Kevin Scalzo is a Canadian artist, mainly self taught and influenced by underground comics, japanese pop culture, textile design and vintage animation. His website showcases a few of his paintings, but you can check out some of his other drawings and cartoons at Comic Art Collective, these images tend to have a bit more of playful naughty nature than his colourful paintings.
Chris Coop or better known as Coop. Very cool poster art, lots of sexy girls, crazy horny robots, and hot cars.
Quoted as saying, “You can never go wrong with Lesbo Devil Girls!” Checking out his site, I’m inclined to agree.
Super stylish and sexy work by New Zealand Photographer Gavin O’Neill. (via).
A small collection (mostly commercial) of nice underwater photography by London based Photographer Zena Holloway who is perhaps most renowned for the Waterbabies work.
Allure+Desire. Found these nice photos on Flickr.
Turkish Artist Taner Ceylan meticulously paints portraits of gay male, porn or fashion model types in elegant interiors with subtle underlying themes of exclusion. (via).
Janey likes drawing figures and works primarily with art markers. My initial impression was “hey these drawings are really cute” and the more I saw the more I liked. Great use of line and colour, love her colouring outside of the lines and patchwork style. Her figure studies are innocent but at the same time erotic. A lot of her work is based on imagery she’s found elsewhere, that’s probably why I love her self portraits best. She also writes a blog where you can buy some of her lovely work.
Great fashion related work by French Photographer Stephane Coutelle, but be sure to check out his personal work in the “projects” section. I particularly liked the simplicity of “the corner” where the set is a corner in Stephane’s apartment and the subjects are friends and strangers who are more than willing to become exhibitionists in front of Stephane’s camera lens. There’s also a lot of sexy imagery in the “some” project.
Check out the great illustration skills by Los Angeles based artist James Jean. Whilst his advertising/commercial work is fantastic, it’s his work for RECESS that got me, pieces about childhood fears.
American photographer Richard Murrian has been an exclusive contributor to MET-Art.com the past few years and has now launched Muse, his own paysite.
Looking through Richard’s photos, it’s obvious that his mission is to capture female beauty. Is it fine art photography, erotica, soft porn or glamour photography? Once again, we’ll leave it up to you to decide.
Richard’s got a pretty comprehensive tour on Muse, but here are a few preview galleries to make your decision making a little easier: Nelly, Veronika, Zuzana and Jana. There’s also a great interview with the man on Michelle7.
Check out the work of Dimitri Daniloff. Awesome. Obviously a conceptual thinker (you have to love it when an artist values concepts as much as presentation), love the Playstation advertisements, they’re great. (via).
Some great work by German erotic art photographer C.C.Clearwater. I like the sense of humour in quite a few of his shots.
Some amazing work by French Photographer Jean-Francois Lepage. His site’s a little annoying in that it pops up full screen windows for each gallery, and it’s all a little bulky too in file size, but the work once loaded is full impact and worth the wait. His web site interface, and his work, makes more and more sense as you go through it all. I like how he scribbles on some of his work, he also likes to use a very powerful external high intensity discharge light which even appears as a prop in many of the photos. Great grading, the blue light makes for some intense use of colour. I love those shots especially. (via).
Mark Squires hails from New York. His work is hot hot hot!!! (Found his work in DV magazine, see post below! PS: Mark’s site design is damn great too, it’s so awesome when a web site design meets the quality of the content on show).
Deliciae Vitae is an international magazine that aims to be classy, luxurious and sexy but fundamentally not about porn. We’ve got a couple off issues here and they feature erotic and glamorous photographic works from world-famous fashion photographers such as Ellen Von Unworth, Bettina Rhemis and Lee Jenkins just to name a few.
