eye candy by Gian Paolo Barbieri

.. as promised ;)




Take note of how the head, or especially the eyes, are cropped out of the pictures. What sort of feeling does an image give you where the face or eyes of a person has been cropped out? What does that tell you? I'd find it interesting to hear your opinion!!

tentacle engravings by Dan Hillier

Phillipa Fioretti (her blog / Twitter ) sendt me a message on Twitter a while ago saying she had a look at the pictures on my site and thought I might like the altered engravings of Dan Hillier. I'm very pleased when people show me amazing things they think I'll like- and especially through Twitter, because it sort of justifies the fact that I have a Twitter account.

I'm also pleased when the things I'm shown has tentacles and look like Victorian monsters.








www.danhillier.com = Dan Hillier's art, info on how to buy- and even some pages from his sketchbook.

I've had more ace things recommended by my readers lately(and not so lately.. the type of lately that was a while ago), but have been too lazy busy to post it for everyone's enjoyment. I'll get to it sooner or later.

tentacle photography by Daikichi Amano

Daikichi Amano's photography has been called both art and porn. They have very strict laws in Japan that prohibits genitalia shots, and I've read that this might be why tentacle porn is so popular there, and that the tentacles serve as an obvious substitute for penises.

I see Daikichi Amano's work as art photography made by a man who happens to be interested sex. And hey, what's new with that. Sex, beauty, life&death.. they are pretty standard topics in art. And while they are standard topics, they never become out dated ones. Especially not when there's tentacles involved!








In an interview, Daikichi Amano is asked the following:

"Do your parent's know about this (the tentacle photography)?"

I'm guessing this was an email interview and that Daikichi Amano typed his answer, because his english is a little hard to understand. This is his totally entertaining answer:

"Yes, they know.

When I told that to them first, they were secured because they were introduced to my work not as criminal but as art.

Because I had strong interest in sex from the school child age, I sneaked in to the ladies' room. I knew I had been disliked by the girls in the class, and also it became impossible to take out a large amount of toy (minicar and eraser) put in the anus and I was taken to the hospital by my parents. When I wanted to experience the orgasm with the anus and the anus was groped while sitting straight, I slept as I was, and the nerve of the foot started being cut, and I was carried by the ambulance. Because I was putting inconvenience on the parents each time, I think that I was making them anxious."

more fishy dreams by yuji moriguchi

yuji moriguchi was the artist i was going to blog about yesterday before i got sidetracked with art (tentacle) history.


i was visiting my friends ben and kat once, when ben had just been given giant african land snails by kat. i started giggling when i saw the snails. there was quite a few people there, and i assumed everyone in the room thought the same as me. i thought i'd break the silence by putting into words what everyone had on their mind; "i wonder if many girls uses giant african land snails as sex toys?"

everyone looked at me a bit funny, and i looked at them a bit funny; i can't believe they didn't think of that? not that i'm into snails, but i can see the potential.

ben and kat, this is for you:

the dream of the fisherman's wife

i was going to post some contemporary erotic tentacle art, but thought i had to post this first, as first things must come(..) first.


i bet a lot of you have already seen this - after all, it's not a new work of art. it was made around 1820 by the japanese artist katsushika hokusai - see even back then, all the cool stuff came from japan. it is possibly the first instance of tentacle porn, and it started a trend - the theme has been reworked by artists ever since.

see my post "octopussy by rune olsen" for a recent take on this theme.

octopussy by rune olsen

he's not the first artist to cover the theme of ladies amusing themselves with tentacle goodness, and i'd be very surprised if he was the last. and also very disappointed. not that i'm into tentacles, but i think it makes for cool art. i might have to post other art on this theme, but for now i just want to share this amazing sculpture by rune olsen.

fantasy erotica illustrations by michael hutter

hutter also makes fantasy paintings, this is one of my favourites:
