Morgain has had a life long love for Pierrot since she grew up in and around the theater. Similar to creating a ballet “narrative” which is highly gestural and exaggerated the clown and character makeup evokes a sense of mystery and drama by hiding it’s face but choosing to expose the body.

Jenn Hopkins
Pronouns: She/they
It’s how the oil paint slides along the canvas, buttery feelings through my brush as I push color around. It’s almost sensual. Color and motion are what I focus on primarily, as can be seen in the majority of my artwork. I work in thin layers, gradually building upon light and shadow in slow, subtle ways that culminate in an eye-catching way. I’m mostly self-taught and learned my technique the hard way through trial and error, and I’ve only recently settled into my current style as shown here.
I’m a self-proclaimed desert rat, having lived in Arizona my entire life except for one short stint in Houston, Texas. Don’t go to Texas. I’m not a professional artist, and I work a day job to pay for an expensive hobby. But that hobby turns out to be art therapy for me. In my painting, you’ll find themes of loneliness and monsters in the shadows, the feeling of being observed. I tend to hide my eyes in my work, sometimes less subtly than others.
This is my 4th time showing with TEAS; they know how to keep me cumming back…

iamgooarts
Pronouns: they/them
My work explores the renewal and reinforcing of relationships to self, the erotic, and healing as a survivor of sexual violence, transphobia, and childhood trauma. It celebrates the beauty of trans bodies and their right to take up space and to feel pleasure. It finds the beauty in things often pushed into shadow, speaks out loud the things that have been kept quiet. My art reflects my journey through healing and of reclaiming sensuality and pleasure and invites the viewer to see themselves in those parts of that same journey that they find themselves in.

Howard Kline
“I have a very rich background in all schools of art”, says Kline, who points out that seemingly casual expressionistic works are built on a classical design structure. He describes his collective works as the best of abstraction and the figure. During the four years of art school I learned classical figure drawing and how to incorporate my experiences and draw on them as ideas for painting. I continued to create my own style after graduation in 1977 and then I found the history behind it. This painting style has strong emotional content that captures the essence of the moment by painting with intense spontaneity using vibrant colors, shapes and forms. “All of my art is full of color and emotion. My paintings are my personal mythology”. After thirty years painting in New England, I wanted to be in a less conservative enviroment and reach a wider audience with my art. With a detailed search of the art colonies of the United States I decided to move my gallery to California in 2000 and then to Tucson in 2017. Most of my work is available in high quality giclee reproductions on watercolor medium or as oil on canvas.

Betty Knockers
Pronouns: She/Her
Betty Knockers is a persona created to help a shy girl break out and live her truth. Growing up on anime, video games, and horror movies – I was always drawn to bodacious figures. Unfortunately, the female characters lacked depth and seemed more ornamental. I fantasized about them having different shapes, styles, and characteristics. Drawing erotic artwork celebrates the body and yourself. I make an effort as an artist to showcase bodies with fat, muscle, and unique complexions. I adore freckles and a little softness. Sex isn’t shameful, and I take a male-dominated art style and create something inclusive for everyone!

Mal Martel
Pronouns: he, him
Erotic art, for me, is a source of joy and an expression that allows my mind to wander into strange fantasies that would fail to come to fruition in other media such as writing (my skill with words fail me). It is a liberating experience, often laced with darkness and violence, which I thoroughly believe are necessary evils I commit to save the art from becoming ordinary pornography. Pornography is mass consumerist entertainment. Erotic art is emotion, struggle, pain, fear, and extremes of ecstasy- the complexities of human nature expressed sets it apart from the mediocrity of mass entertainment.
moon
Pronouns: She/they
my concept has a mutable and developing dynamic. i strive to explore the flux of the transfixable and the entropy of everything with surfaces built gradually through the interplay of intention and chance. the use of random found objects as a medium creates a dialectic between my personal concepts of idealized form and the creative process of how i can utilize and integrate the objects obtained.

Her erotic portrayals raise the visual experience beyond just a curiosity for erotic subject matter and sheer physical stimuli. Her understated approach allows a wide margin for participation of the viewer’s imagination in each compelling portrait.

Nymphidia
Licensed in Graphic Arts, I’m a graphic artist based in Timisoara, originally from Bucharest, Romania. I draw before I could speak, sort of say, always fascinated by anatomy – artistic or not, both animal and human. What characterizes my style/way of working is that I work from memory and imagination (no visual references), regardless of technique or materials. Never thought I’d be inspired enough to do erotic art. It occurred by chance, as many things are, when I met someone who ended up inspiring me and I him though he doesn’t have as much spare time for art as he’d like to. The mythological theme was both of our idea, started from one of my first erotic illustrations I did for us and in time, 2 different set of characters emerged. The realistic ones and mythological. So far only I actively exhibited, hoping he’ll join next year, depends on how we coordinate our… activities; managed to include one of his this year in EroticArtLondonExhibit, as invitee/partner. My work can be found in “Best of Erotic Art First Edition” by EAL and will be on Second Edition too; also present on Seattle Shows (2021,2022), Detroit 2022, Tucson 2022, London (2021,2022)

PineappleRocket
Pronouns: She, her, hers
I love the essence of the erotic in life, in nature, and in art. As an artist, I take inspiration from moments such as a gentle breeze cooling my sweaty thighs or the hungry look in a lovers gaze or in the beauty and simplicity of flower petals. For me, life is pulsating with the desire to express itself. My camera has been my go-to for capturing moments reflective of my erotic impulses. Letting my imagination run wild and free by playing with angles, lighting, themes, or objects allows me to feel unconstrained and spirited. In that spirit, I find pleasure. Erotic art is a way to share this joy. Pleasure shared is pleasure doubled.
Photos By E
Pronouns: He/Him
Emmanuel, or Manny as folks on the West Coast call him, is a self-taught, local Tucson photographer originally a Crimson Tide kid from Alabama. He started his photography journey doing portraits, headshots, and anything to get a better idea on what style of photography best resonated with him. He ultimately found his focus on Boudoir and B&W travel photography. Boudoir has allowed him to meet wonderful people, hear amazing stories, and ultimately help him to see uniqueness of people from all walks of life. Since Manny is Poly, an LGBTQ+ ally, and an advocate of a healthy, safe, consensual kink lifestyle, it was only natural his boudoir photography aims to promote, encourage, and support these aspects of life. When he is not doing photography, he is either working, playing videogames, watching anime (subbed not dubbed), or being a couch potato with his two pups and wife, Olivia. If you are interested in seeing what style of prints Manny has for sale from his travels, please visit his website.

Aaron Rayburn
Pronouns: he/him
What artist doesn’t loathe writing an artist statement? Because, simply put, I create photographic art that I like to look at. I like simple compositions, clean lines, but with details that you can pour over endlessly. I like photographs that are visually striking, but I also like photographs that tell a story, and they don’t have to do both. I like photographs that have a sense of polish and a calculated, deliberate approach. Thus, that’s the kind of art I create. When I first began shooting I didn’t considered that I would develop an individual style that would come to encapsulate work. This is the case with every artist, naturally, but the point at which you recognize this about your own work seems to be the point where you truly begin to develop and cultivate a feeling of congruency in everything that you do. The risk, of course, is not being able to recognize if you have bad taste. And then you wind up with an entire portfolio of bullshit that nobody really likes but you. I hope that’s not the case, but if it is, at least I have two decades of bullshit that I like to look at.
Brennan Rigg
Joseph Brennan Rigg was born in Colorado in 1995. After high school he studied traditional painting techniques in Italy, Spain, France and the UK where he visited the great museums. He is currently living in Nevada where he works in a gallery as a picture framer, and makes art at his home studio. Brennan’s work is an invitation to explore the trying psychological aspects of our humanity, and the world at large. He draws from an attempt to distill subconscious themes, and ground them in our primal, tangible reality. Utilizing archetypal symbols, ancient iconography, and surreal shorthand, this is an artist that is rooted in the tradition of beautiful forms which he then unleashes, so that the classic becomes newly seen, a slipstream into cosmic vision, and a return to innocence.

Alan Ruiz
Pronouns: He/His
I am a Mexican and American illustrator and artist with the goal of integrating science, popular culture, and art to inspire culture, community, creativity, conservation, respect, reciprocity, kinship, curiosity, and connection with the natural world. I count with over ten years of international experience using my art and creative writing to support grassroots social and environmental organizations in over five countries, including the United States, New Zealand, Mexico, Costa Rica, and the Caribbean. Through many rich and immersive experiences, which include working closely with fisherfolk, Indigenous communities, and within Academia, I have learned that the integration of art and science can be used to effectively communicate complex ideas to a wide audience, and that creative processes can help foster personal growth, a sense of place and community, and restore cultural pride founded on stewardship. I currently reside in Tucson, Arizona, with my puppy Bone, where I love learning about the Sacred Sonoran ecosystem that spans across the US-Mexico Border and includes the Gulf of California (Sea of Cortez) and the isolated, northern mountains of Sierra Madre, known as the Madrean Sky Islands.

Starting with the classic paper and pencil, Marq begins with an idea or emotion, letting their hands and pencil guide the lines until the larger picture can be seen. From there, the sketch is digitally rendered and remastered until it represents what they felt when they first started. Marq’s classic style is bold and detailed linework, tattoo art, abstract, bordering on surreal.

After a hiatus I was able to graduate from The University of Arizona with a BFA in Studio Arts with a minor in Spanish. My emphasis was figure drawing, I was able to capture the beauty that resides in Humans of all shapes and sizes. Today aside from doing family portraits, pet portraits, I enjoy erotic portraiture which focuses on the M2F pre-op transgender body and the beauty that resides within the balance of feminine and masculine in one body. My artwork is a celebration of this beauty and none of my work is done with any intention to embarrass or exploit any set group a person may identify as.

Teek & Maywell
Pronouns: They / Them
Teek & Maywell is the collective name for two Tucson multi-disciplinary artists involved in both two- and three-dimensional works that range from serious portraiture to whimsical sculpture. This collaboration began a few years ago and their submission to the 2023 T.E.A.S. is the most ambitious collective work produced thus far. Their work, “172 2nd Street, Apartment 3C,” is an exploration of voyeurism influenced by Duchamp’s installation “Étant Donnés…” set, instead, in an urban environment and in miniature. The viewer is required to approach the wall-mounted work (can also be placed on a pedestal) and “peep” inside the box to see the detailed world contained within. Charged eroticism often requires the viewer to feel a sense of privacy into which they can release their sexuality. By forcing the user to interact singly with the work and to “step into it” with proximity and intimacy, the artists hope to foster a dialogue not only about what constitutes the erotic but the act of viewing, itself.

Jeff Troy (sf.pinups)
Pronouns: he/him
I started making erotic art as a way to understand my fetish. As I moved through this journey, I began to strip the shame away from my sexuality and truly understand this aspect of my self. It has been a great honor to connect with people through my art, and to help others separate shame from kink. I’ve used art to help people open the lines of honest communication with their partners, expressing desires they had been too ashamed to admit. Art should be accessible, and while I am looking at sexuality through the lens of my own narrow tastes, I try to make images that are accessible, even to people who don’t share my kink. I think the greatest compliment I can receive is for someone to say – it’s maybe not my thing, but I get it. I’ve been privileged to have my work shown in venues large and small, including the Seattle Erotic Art Festival, the London Erotic Art Exhibition, and smaller shows near my home in Western Washington. Online, under the name sf.pinups (smoke fetish, not San Fransisco), I participate in Colab69, an eZine with talented contributors from all over the world.
