This is the home page for Seattle based Artist and Designer Krysztof Nemeth. If you haven't had the pleasure of viewing this erotic artwork before, I hope you take the time to go look at it right now! The artist has a highly crisp and witty quality that presents fetish and gothic style images with flirty passion. He is often compared to Michael Manning in style, but I think there is a definite lush playful naughtiness in Nemeth's work that I don't generally see elsewhere. Nemeth's work has recently been seen in Penthouse Fetish and appeared on poster art for the band The Motels, and I honestly consider Nemeth a master of pin-up and fetish illustration. My only wish for this site is that it would include an easy way to purchase work online. Currently you can only contact the artist through the website for more information. Beautiful work that you shouldn't miss! » More Info!

It would be easy to describe Alva Bernadine as a photographer and "sexual surrealist", but I don't think that manages to really capture what he is doing very well. How do you describe the wit present in a person's dreams and nightmares? Many of his images have a story to tell about the human mind. Some of those stories are humorous, while others are erotic or disturbing. If I had to sum up his paintings and photos, I think I'd say that he was a "master of psychological exhibitionism". At times this manifests in photographs, but at other times it manifests in paintings or in the written word. I found myself delighted and laughing out loud as I read his work. One minute he will declare something as grandiose as, "Bernadinism is a most solipsistic, hierarchical and elitist system. If you are not named Alva Bernadine then you are excluded." The next minute he'll disarm you with something like, "She told me what she was going to do to me. I was disgusted! Chiefly because I had not thought of it first." Fetishists may particularly appreciate his unique SM snapshots in the series, "Four hundred and One Blows". It captures the look of flesh upon impact by an object like a paddle or spoon. Prints of his work are offered and are limited editions. I would like to have seen more info on purchasing them, but he does have clear contact info so that you can gather that from the artist himself. His work has been seen in publications as varied as SkinTwo and Vogue. Various reviews of his work and of his book "Bernadinism: How to Dominate Men and Subjugate Women" are available. My one complaint? Loud religious music will strike you deaf if you surf this site with the sound on. Be advised! A new favorite, and a link that I‘ll be passing on to close friends. - Vamp » More Info!

Hans Frontosa has put together a really interesting and engaging site on erotic art that tantalizes the reader without overloading them. Too often, people become intimidated when discussing fine art. Hans avoids pretension and delivers very personal and down to earth descriptions of various artist's work, and he puts well established fine art (like nude photography) right next to lesser appreciated artforms like erotic video games. He also has a links section that is a great leaping off point for surfers. Recommended. I know I'll be back! I found the site both erotic and educational. - Vamp » More Info!

I'm in love! Tatiana von Tauber is an intelligent sex positive feminist with a great spiritual and international depth that shines through her writing and art work. She is so multitalented! There is a beautiful array of watercolors, oils, pastels, and charcoal work on the site (some of which has sort of an art deco feel to me, while other pieces have a much more impressionistic style). A neat selection of photographs (that unfortunately don't enlarge) really took my breath away. She has a great instinct for how to use light/shadow to accentuate form. I have to admit that it was her writing that really grabbed me by the soul and tugged though. Her erotica is hot and honest. Her essays are spiritually deep and passionate discussions of her complex feelings. Her book reviews are charming and helpful. Her links section is actually very interesting, and highly recommended as a jumping off point to many sites of note. I love seeing sites just like these. She fearlessly represents her entire self on the site, while never flinching away from her sexuality. Excellent! Sites like this clearly show that female sexuality is most beautiful when it isn‘t dumbed down.

I may have a new favorite blog! Zeppellina is a citizen of “Metropolis, Erehwon “ which, in and of itself is literary enough to amuse me. Then add the fact that she is an amazing visual artist, working in watercolor, pencil, glass, and a variety of other media. Top it off with an ability to write clearly, coherently, and intelligently on a number of topics. Do you see why I’m in heaven? Her art is the real magnet, here. Stunning nudes, intense figures, eyes that leap from the page to embrace the very soul of the viewer. Zeppellina has a vivid imagination and the talent to make her visions real. The links along the right hand side were a tad distracting, because they are so large, and so clearly advertising, but that is the ONLY fault I can find in this exploration into the mind of an artist.

What a lovely lady! Eden is the artist, the model, the producer, and this site is a very nice effort. Her only tool is a webcam, but she has made both still images and video into works of art beyond the scope of her equipment. The site is free, however she will send additional content to those who make a donation via PayPal. She is well worthy of encouraging!

Phantasy photos are just one of the many media products offered at this site. What they do is take your original photograph, then digitally hand brush to make it resemble a painting. Then it's printed on canvas usiing archival inks, and optionally framed. I would have loved to see a larger sample gallery. The company that does these, M&D Media, also offers other services such as digitally archiving your old slides, photos, etc. onto disks (a great idea if you don't want to do the scanning work yourself), fixing up damaged photos, and so on. Contact info is great, with a toll-free number on every page, live help, etc. They have FAQs about the products in an extensive helpdesk area. Great idea for a Valentine's gift! » More Info!

Ok, now this is a kickass weblog. Lili-g posts her own original erotic photos and artwork, and it's all over the map from digitally altered to almost beyond recognition, to realistic photos. If you look towards the top, you'll also find a link to a second blog that is her writing. Updated constantly, one I bookmarked to return to.

Beautiful gallery of underwater photography by San Francisco-based artist and photographer Mark Matthews. There is unfortunate side-scrolling navigation to view the thumbnails, then each image opens in the main window. He does offer prints for sale, but no info, so just email if interested. I just loved the ethereal feel of these shots. - Jane

Leslie Cohen has spent about 20 years as a graphic designer and art director, and it shows in her unique approach to the female nude. She creates original oil paintings that are highly pixellated. That's right, pixellated oils! Personally, I found that looking at these paintings created a profound sense of visual dissonance. I was drawn to the soft and titillating images within the hard pixels, but every time my eyes tried to fix the image it became harder to see. It was only after letting go and stepping away from the form that the beauty would become evident. Very clever!The artist has 4 galleries worth of these enigmatic nudes, many of them self portraits. There is a contact email as well as information on how to contact the galleries handling her work. This work reminds me a bit of the wit of Roy Lichenstein, but I feel it has a much more interesting visual punch. I love the use of commercial art technique in fine art, and this artist shows how well that can be done. Bravo! » More Info!

This is the site of Peter Grigg, a fetish photographer in the United Kingdom. Membership to view his galleries is via AnyPay, and 2 pounds sterling per month. At time of review he had about 75 images posted. They are all black and white, as advertised, and are all of a dark fetish nature, and quite good. Photo prints are available for sale, and all are hand printed by the artist. Up front on the home page are 10 thumbnails of samples of the work. » More Info!

Small world. Yesterday I was surfing the net and ended up spending some time enjoying this fine free site by BDSM artist Brian Tarsis. Today the site comes up on the list of sites to review. Obviously I like it. What's not to like? It's free, it's high quality, and it speaks to many of my fetishes. He has galleries of his original artwork, with links to other sites where he previously worked and where more can be found. He has a 'tour of the dungeon' showing all terrible forms of sensual depravity. He even has a link to a 'memorial' page, hosted by a fellow who admires his art and thinks he is dead. His bio gives a lot of insight into the inner workings of BDSM art and video production. He offers his art for sale, including reproductions of exiting pieces or custom work per your order. Also offered for sale are several of his graphic novels. This is a fascinating tour of both his work and his life. » More Info!

This is the online gallery for the original paintings of SG, a skilled surrealist painter whose work seems to explore the female nude in a passionate and personal way. The first thing I noticed about SG's work is that it is full of texture and color, accomplished through acrylic on wood panel and (often) mixed media or photographic collage. Her work avoids a lot of cliche images of female empowerment, while still seeming to glow with female energy and dynamic power. SG's contact info can be found on the site, and ordering can be accomplished through paypal. Absolutely enchanting, don't miss this site! » More Info!

Ooh, I love this website and art! Christopher Leach does gorgeous, fanciful Art Nouveau style drawings and paintings, some with a very erotic and fetish edge. The site is split up into 3 parts, a sort of comic-strip style story called 'Jyllinge', a section for his drawings and paintings, and a small section of photography both nudes and city life. If you wander through the site you will find some bio info, a listing of exhibits he's done and publications that have included his drawings. Prints are available at very reasonable prices, you must e-mail to inquire.

All original art here, by photographer Luis Durante, and offered in either English or Spanish. I'm a bit conflicted here. I got lost a few times navigating around this site, and there are the occasional pop-ups selling his art book and such that you have to close, but through it all the mesmerizing imagery of his photographic eye continually brought me back and kept me going. Some of it is kinky, some merely sensual. Along with his erotic photographic art are a handful of movies - and I do wish the sound tracks didn't boot up when you go to the site. Overall, yeah, I got grumpy like I mentioned above, but it's a free site with some very nice photography » More Info!
