The Erotic Mind of Benoît Prévot — Podcast #109 — 03/23/09

[Look for the podcast play button below.]

Hey sex fans,

Today, I have yet another installment in my series of interviews called The Erotic Mind.  You’ll notice right away that there’s a distinctly international flair to this week’s podcast.  Why?  Because I have the good fortune of introducing you to an up and coming erotic artist, who joins us from his home in Paris, France, don’t cha know.  His name is Benoît Prévot.

moiThis all started some weeks ago when I was aimlessly poking around some of my favorite websites.  One site in particular, the beautiful and thoughtful Fairview (A site, I might add, that is a work of art all on its own.) is the loving creation of a fellow blogger, Sue.  It was on her handsome site that I first encountered this Parisian wonder.  When I happen upon Ben’s comic illustrations I knew for certain that I had to chat with him for this series.

If you are like me, and love smart, sexy erotic art with just a dash of humor, be sure to check out Benoît’s lusty drawings and illustrations as well as his insightful and informative blog on his site: site: benoitprevot.com.

I encourage you to ask him how you can purchase his original artwork.  Because I am of the mind that no serious collector of erotic art should be without a Prévot or two; that is if ya ask me.

Ben and I discuss:

• How he got his start as an artist; as an erotic artist.
• Where he finds his models.
• The difference between erotic and pornographic.
• How he imbues his artistic creations with life.
• Eroticizing the un-erotic.
• Advice for the novice erotic artist

Sex EDGE-U-cation with KinkedKenny – Podcast #108 – 03/18/09

[Look for the podcast play button below.]

Hey sex fans,

Today I have the distinct pleasure of welcoming a true original in the world of erotic photography, Kenny Lee, a.k.a. KinkedKenny.  He is also an ardent practitioner of the lifestyle he so skillfully captures in his art.

kenny1Kenny is my third guest in this new series of podcast interviews I’m doing called Sex EDGE-U-cation.   We’re taking a look at the world of fetish sex, kink and alternative sexual lifestyles.  But Kenny is also my first 2-fer guest, because he comfortably straddles both The Erotic Mind podcast series, that I do on Mondays, and this series I’m doing on Wednesdays. So we will be picking his brain on both topics.

Kenny is first and foremost a photographer, but he is also a storyteller.  He shoots fashion as well as kink, but whatever he shoots you can be sure that it will push the envelope.  His photography can be both exquisitely beautiful and stunningly disturbing.  And often his images are both of these things at the same time.

Besides being a brilliant photographer, he is in his very own element when exploring the world of kink.  Like his photos, Kenny is “Raw, Dark, Twisted and Real”.

Kenny and I discuss:

  • The transition from fashion photographer to kink photographer — InkedKenny to KinkedKenny.
  • Working with real people in the lifestyle and capturing the chemistry between the players.
  • His agenda:  to shake his audience out of their complacently by engaging us in his work.
