When I arrived at the Dirty Show at around 7:30 this evening, the more than 15 rooms that held over a 150 pieces of erotic art held a sufficient amount of visitors so that one could leisurely view the art with out feeling overcrowded. However, during the two and a half hours it took to make my way through these rooms, visitors began mingling and waiting patiently on the balcony outside of the rooms to wait their turn to view the art it contained. I heard one of the producers surprisingly comment, “We had more people turn out than we expected.” And as I left the show, a long line had already formed in the alley, as many people awaited entrance into the show.

I was not surprised by the large turn out to the Dirty Show. On display were the works of over 45 creative minds. This exclusive two day exhibit should not have been an event that one would pass on.

Some of the pieces that had already sold include:

  • “Cockaine” photo by Jeremy MF Thompson
  • “Parlor Tricks” oil on canvas by Tracee Mae Miller
  • “I’m Ready for My Close Up” Photo by A. Owen Layne
  • “The Last Temptation of Christ” by Marc DeBauch
  • “Pleasure” by Roderick Macdonald
  • “Betty 2″ by Bunny Yeager
  • “Octo-Puss” by DVS

Be sure to check back often in the next week as I post further about the artists and their art featured in the Dirty Show – now, off to the after party at Fetish Nation! Hope to see you there – Enjoy!

Some other artists that had works displayed were: Lisa Boyle, Steve Goedde, Eric Kroll, Christine Kessler, Billy Pacak, Alva Bernadine, bd Miller, Aaron Hawks, Clive Barker, Colin Christian, Frederic Fonteray, Tristan Eaton, Ashley, Juan Martine delCampo Ju, John Horowitz, J.L.

The Dirty Show LA – Nov. 13-14

Dirty Show LogoWhat an exciting month November is turning out to be!  Of course, this is National Novel Writing Month, but this month will see a ten year tradition branch out. The “Dirty Show” was created by Jerry Vile ten years ago and takes place in the Motor City every Valentine’s Day.  It is an “erotic art” exhibition that has drawn international attention.  This weekend, the “Dirty Show” is making its way to the City of Angels.

The Dirty Show is many things — but it is NOT, and NEVER has been, a pornographic hootenanny or a lame exercise in shock value. Its critics (and they are legion) forget that there is a legitimate difference between porn and the erotic. Porn, at best, is entertainment. Eroticism is enlightenment — an experience that not only reminds us that we are sentient beings, but also beings capable of seeing connections that go beyond mere carnality. (Robert del Valle, Real Detroit Weekly, February 3, 2009)

Among the many artists that will have artwork on display is Gina King, Clive Barker, and Alva Bernadine.

So in this busy month, I am going to leave my desktop keyboard – pack my acer, camera, and a dirty little outfit – and head to Los Angeles – consider it research for my novel!
