Art and Pornography presents a series of essays which investigate
the artistic status and aesthetic dimension of pornographic
pictures, films, and literature, and explores the distinction, if
there is any, between pornography and erotic art. Is there any
overlap between art and pornography, or are the two mutually
exclusive? If they are, why is that? If they are not, how might we
characterize pornographic art or artistic pornography, and how
might pornographic art be distinguished, if at all, from erotic
art? Can there be aesthetic experience of pornography? What are
some of the psychological, social, and political consequences of
the creation and appreciation of erotic art or artistic
pornography? Leading scholars from around the world address these
questions, and more, and bring together different aesthetic
perspectives and approaches to this widely consumed, increasingly
visible, yet aesthetically underexplored cultural domain. The book,
the first of its kind in philosophical aesthetics, will contribute
to a more accurate and subtle understanding of the many
representations that incorporate explicit sexual imagery and
themes, in both high art and demotic culture, in Western and
non-Western contexts. It is sure to stir debate, and healthy
controversy.

Attention ladies - Zombies are out for more than just your brains!
Sure they smell bad and tend to leave bits of rotting flesh around
the house, but c'mon - you can say that about all your old
boyfriends! Illustrator Rich Larson digs up a whole new gallery of
ghoul-on-girl action!
Illustrator Ronnie Werner takes his cue from the classic pin-up
style of the 40's and 50's, but through a very modern lens!
Updating the look and feel of the girls who made Dad and Grandad go
all "hubba-hubba" with a distinctive new flavour born of today's
sensibilities. In other words -- HOT! Able to create illustrations
both realistic and cartoonish, Ronnie blends cool and cute into
some of the most delightful young ladies we've had the good fortune
to ogle! Here's a man well on his way to having to stare at
beautiful models the rest of his life (and get paid for it!). We
think you will enjoy this first-ever overview of Mr Werner's
talents!
This title presents the essence of life courses through warm flesh,
heating the midnight meal to a delicious 98.7 degrees of exquisite
delight! Fiercesome fangs extend from ruby lips, and it's a hungry
mouth that clamps upon the main artery of a willing neck. A new
member has been selected, and another undead diva is born! And as
for after-dinner treats - the night holds many more surprises! It's
the eternal vampire lure, as seen through a decidedly girl-on-girl
perspective! Playing with your food never had this much going for
it, as female vamps go in search of girlfriends they can lunch with
- forever! This newest series of "Gallery Girls" books invites a
roster of new illustrators to use their imaginations to come up
with a fresh collection of bisexual biting! Artists include Diego
Candia, Marco Baldi, Anibal Maraschi, Flores, Diego Florio, Perla
Pilucki, Percy Ochoa, and Dario Hartmann, and sports a red-hot
cover painting by Bruce Colero.
The rounded cheek. The quivering flesh. The anticipation of the
sharp and welcome smack! That delightful palm-on-buttock noise! Ah,
the wonders of a private school education! In the history of the
"Gallery Girls" books, no one topic has gained more notoriety (and
sales, thank you very much!) as the "Spanking Tails" series. Here
we are at our third outing, and the line of young ladies poised and
positioned for tough love has grown ever longer! And not
suprisingly, the list of artists lined up to dispense said tough
love, including Mitch Byrd, Brian LeBlanc, Pablo Kousovitis, Anibal
Maraschi, Perla Pilucki, to name but a feverish few! To celebrate
this third 'much too cheeky' selection of spanktastic excellence,
outstanding airbrush artist Edward Reed has created an eye-popping
front cover that will leave you breathless and scrambling for your
finest paddle! Putting the OUCH in YeeeeOuch.

The subjects of her recent art are a logical continuation of the
larger narrative of Benjamin's body of work: She works to excavate
the female human experience as she knows it. Benjamin muses on
intimacy, sexuality, self-perception, body dysmorphia, and trauma
through her avatars. Her work is diaristic, approaching her
subjects through the lens of her own personal experience; each
piece can easily feel like a self-portrait. Her women are
simultaneously self-assured and crumbled, standing defiantly on
their own two hairy legs, yet seeking the shoulder of an empathetic
viewer to cry on. Benjamin uses her art to sort through her own
trauma and self-analysis, and seeks to give faces, bodies, and
narratives to the different facets of her own womanhood.
Selling your soul to the Devil has never paid such delicious
dividends! Here is a collection of satanic sirens who use their
under-worldly charms to entrance and entrap mortal men to their
eternal doom. This is the latest in one of our most popular line of
books - fiery females in bed with the Dark Lord himself! It
includes art by Boada, Tomas Giorello, Meriggi, Pelaez, Maraschi,
Blas Gallego, Pascarelli, Torres, Quintabani, and others. Cover
Painting by Dorian Cleavenger.
