1.- Why erotic art?
Painting has always been something that I’ve been enamored with. The same is true for the female form. My two obsessions merged together in the mid 90’s & since then I’ve committed myself to painting erotic art.
2.- Tell us your way of working and your favorite techniques?
The process I work in can be summerized into 3 stages:
a) Penciling the underlying structures.
b) Rendering a tonal grayscale underpainting.
c) Oil glaze layers of color tints & shades while adding in subtle details.
3.- Will someday erotic art will be called for what it really is… art?
I believe it’s already begun…

4.- If you could only save three of your favorite art books, they would be?
Treasure Island: artwork by N.C. Wyeth
Legacy: Paintings and Drawings by Frank Frazetta
The Rembrandt Book
5.- What is the coolest thing you’ve discovered about pornstars, when they are posing for a work of art instead for a normal photoshoot?
The pornstars that I’ve worked with seem to have erased all of the negative conditioning from our society regarding sexuality. When I’m drawing a model who is sexually liberated the art becomes more of a collaborative project than a solo-created work.

7.- Tell us please, which has been your greatest moment on an exhibition?
Launching NaughtyArt.com - the only online exhibition of my entire life’s work.
8.- Which are your favorite models to work with and why?
I wouldn’t say I have a favorite because all of the models are special & unique in their own way.
9.- Any funny-weird experience trying to explain to someone what naughty art is?
Yes, a girl I used to like who I went to high school with recently friended me on Facebook. I thanked her for setting off the spark that helped inspire my Naughty Art, but she was offended & deleted me.
10.- What will we see next in your career
and on www.naughtyart.com?
Currently I’m working on an erotic graphic novel for the site which documents both my painting process & the models experience posing naked for art.
