Susan Heidi

Susan Heidi began drawing figurative works at age five – fascinated by the ability to create a likeness on paper, this quickly became a passion. The inspiration for her pin-up art is today’s retro pinup movement which embraces the nostalgia of a bygone era and spices it up with a modern, take-charge attitude.

Susan is a self-taught artist working in watercolor, acrylic, or oil paints. Her aim is always to create an image that comes alive. Translucent skin tones are a trademark of her style. Susan’s work is compared to that of the well known pinup masters. Her work has been exhibited by invitation with the top erotic artists from around the world and is collected in the United States and Europe.

Angelique Houtkamp

Angelique is a native of the Netherlands, home of cheese and window prostitution.

She started drawing and painting when she was thirty, which is actually not as late as it seems, considering the fact that she had to take special classes to make her handwriting readable to even herself. Her chosen profession of tattooer quickly side-lined her to painting with watercolours when her obvious talent for this medium emerged. She shows her work in renowned lowbrow galleries around the world and her second book TATTOO MYSTIQUE is about to follow up her massively well received first book.

N.C. Winters

N.C. Winters is relatively new to California, but seems to be an old west coast art soul. Paintings on wood blaze with intense color and contain subject matter from sunshine and daisies, to grimaces and monsters. His work fits right in with the illustrative art culture that has existed here for decades in the underground, low brow scene and now the upperground, and beyond. Winters’ paintings are a mix of masculine and feminine images - the feminine being quite beautiful and the masculine being downright tough. His images have echoes of art nouveau yet cross into psychedelic wonderlands.

N.C. graduated with a BFA from the University of Arizona in 2002 and currently lives and works as a fine artist, cartoonist, and designer out of his home in Carlsbad, CA.

Brian Viveros

Celebrated Surrealist fetish/mutilation artist Brian M. Viveros is now utilizing the medium of film to capture the dark and evocative debris that radiates from his mind. Brian is internationally embraced for his erotic paintings and illustrations.

Brian’s recognition accelerated with his participation in The Art of Porn exhibition held in Switzerland (1997), where he exhibited with H.R. Giger, thanks to a friend and art advisor Les Barany (Giger's agent). Since then, Brian’s work has been in numerous gallery shows and exhibitions in the United States and Europe, and has appeared in Secret Magazine, In the Flesh, Skin Two, Drawing Blood, Darks Art, and the short story, "The Magdalena" in Fetish Magazine.

Brian was a finalist of the 2004 Erotic Awards as the Artist of the Year, U.K.

"…Brian’s trip to Switzerland can only be described in three words: ‘Veni, vidi, vinci.’ People here are crazy about his work and can’t wait for him to return and bedazzle them again!"

-Museum of Porn in Art, Zürich, Switzerland

"Mysterious sexy women, with their remarkable sensual eyes, and a cigarette in the corner of their mouths, became his trademark. These characters play their lustful roles, sprouted from the brain of the American artist Brian Viveros. His art is a unique mixture of different visual and artistic concepts, surrealism, role playing and some quite heavy pain fantasies. Like the ones where the women are hooked, tortured and bound, but somehow, even in these morbid scenes, he is capable of maintaining a decent dose of humor."

-Art of Love

"The erotic artwork of Brian M. Viveros is a satisfying cross between the Varga Girls and the surrealist renderings of Hans Bellmer. At once playful, hypersexual and erotic, there is also something darkly engaging in Viveros’s images. While he’ll play up the demon aspects of the Femme Fatale, or the depravity lurking just beneath the surface of the innocent girl, he does so with a sense of awe – as if honoring what’s ‘dangerous’ in the erotic female form, not fearing it or degrading it."

-Marilyn Jaye Lewis, editor The Mammoth Book of Erotic Photography; Erotic Writer of the Year, 2001

"I don't know why I am attracted to his paintings of tattooed, beaten women, but they have such a defiant look, with their Louise Brooks/Pandora’s Box black ‘helmet hair’ and cig dangling from their mouths, one eye swollen shut. It is to so erotic and powerful, about us women who get beaten up every day…"

-Jenny Lens, punk photographer/archivist - she shot Darby Crash!

"…hauntingly memorable and erotically arousing work."

-Francis Lora, contributing writer to Urban Latino Magazine and the Manhattan Times

Scott Rohlfs

The talents of Scott Rohlfs are a mesmerizing compilation of Realism and Pop Surrealist art. While canvas has been the prime resting point for his brush, Scott has also consummated work using alternative surfaces. 

Drawing and painting have been a life long obsession for Scott. Apart from studying art during school, he is entirely self-taught. With an extensive art library for self study, Scott has developed a modus operandi that has made intrinsic connections with a diverse audience. His many years of freehand airbrushing have facilitated the development of a distinctive, yet sundry style. Helping to foster his creativity, he credits much of his imagery to the influence of his wife. 

Born in Anchorage Alaska, Scott has spent most of his years growing up in Northern California. Dividing his time between a professional career in the computer industry and completing commissioned work while his pieces were being displayed locally in New Art Designs Gallery, he recently made the move to Portland, Oregon, to devote himself fulltime to creating art. 

Saratoga Sake

Sake (Saw-Key) Born in 1969 in El Paso, Texas, Two time Emmy award winning artist Sake, began his art career with inspiration from New York City subway graffiti and became a forefather and "King" of graffiti in San Diego. Sake's reputation as a serious artist grew out of respect for his technical skill, and talent at creating realistic portraiture with spray paint, gaining the attention of the San Diego art scene and abroad.

In 2005, after 23 years of using spray paint as a medium, Sake began painting with oils, launching his career as a fine artist. In little over a year, Sake has shown at galleries all over the southwest, and sold out of his first major collection. Since then Sake has shown in numerous galleries across the US and has been added to collections across the world.
