Bawdy stories

11th April 2023

Dino Attanasio is one of the great Italian-Belgian cartoonists, and today we bring you his only (and very successful) risqué work, an interpretation of seven of Boccaccio’s most bawdy tales from the Decameron. See and savour them now by clicking here.

Cocksure

9th April 2023

By chance – or fate – today’s new artist also specialised in tarot decks. We bring you Amerigo Folchi’s Gardens of Priapus cards, all 78 of them; amazing what you can do with wands and cups! See them all now by clicking here.

All the positions

6th April 2023

The Cuban artist Carlos Enríquez visited Europe several times in the late 1920s, where he came across Aretino’s ‘sex manual’ Sonetti Lussuriosi. Rather into sex himself, Enríquez produced his own set of drawings to accompany them, which you can see now by clicking here.

Italian embarrassments

2nd April 2023

The much-loved Italian cartoonist Guido Buzzelli is today’s new artist, with his chaotic scenes making fun of the hypocrisies, rituals and taboos of Italian society. Never overtly sexual, always humorously titillating, see his colourful scenes now by clicking here.

Beyond the boundaries

31st March 2023

Today’s new artist is the transgender Kimberly Wilder, whose drawings from the mid-2000s were an important part of an exploration of sexual freedom and identity. See what you think, and where it leaves your fantasies. See Kimberly’s drawings now by clicking here.

Rural romps

30th March 2023

A new portfolio today from Schem (Raoul Serres), better known as a French postage stamp designer but with a secret sideline in erotica! It’s his Little Cousins from 1948, which you can see all of now by clicking here.

Painting the passion

29th March 2023

‘It is assumed that works of art that exalt the eroticism of the female body must have originated in the eyes of a man: my passion for the human form proves this assumption emphatically wrong.’ This is the strong personal statement of today’s new artist, Inge Clayton, whose work can be found by clicking here.

Going down …

27th March 2023

We stay with Pierre Louÿs this morning, and the inimitable Rojan’s 1927 illustrations to accompany Louÿs’ Pybrac, which has been called ‘one of the filthiest books of poetry ever published’. You be the judge – click here to see them all. Enjoy!
