Hey sex fans,

How many of you know that June is Gay Pride month?  Well it is!  And if you don’t believe mikeportrait72me, ask President Obama.  He made the official declaration June 1st.
He is the first president in our glorious history to do so.  So hurray for him!  And an even bigger hurray for all us Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender people on this 40th anniversary of the birth of the modern gay rights movement.

To celebrate pride month, I will feature the brilliant work and thoughtful reflection of two renowned gay visual artists. These podcasts are part of The Erotic Mind
series, where we converse with noted erotic artists in an effort to try to uncover something of the creative process involved in this specialized art form.

Today I have the distinct pleasure of introducing you to the first of my special Pride guests.  He is the spectacular artist, who goes by the name Mike.  Perhaps you’ve already seen some of his distinctive work; it’s hard to miss, don’t cha know.  His images are all over the internet as well as in magazines and in books.

Mike and I discuss:

  • How he got his start as an artist; as an erotic artist.
  • Where he finds his models.
  • What erotic art means to him.
  • The difference, if any, between an artist and an illustrator.
  • What makes some of his work erotic and other stuff pornographic.
