Now Lovemaking Is An Art You Can Frame. New Art Is Love Kits by Jeremy Brown.




I'm not sure that the idea of rolling around naked during lovemaking on a canvas creates what Jeremy Brown calls a 'masterpiece', but his Love Is Art Kit has been getting rave reviews from The View and the Today Show's Bobby Thomas, while also collecting praise from Molly Sims and feature magazines such as COSMOPOLITAN, ESQUIRE, GLAMOUR and PAPER.



In his new collection of Love Is Art Kits, Brown expands his line to include a new variety of colors and textures, which include red, white and monochromatic tints such as copper and silver to his palette, as well as equality themed stencils (15% of the proceeds from the equality kits will be donated to the Human Rights Campaign), allowing couples to customize their experience.

Red on Red kit:

Black and Copper kit:

Black and Silver Kit:

The Equality Stencil kit:

Signature and Hearts kits:


Shades of Grey kit:

Custom versions, like those shown below, are also available.





Prices for the kits range from $65-$89. Custom kit prices vary depending upon design.

How it works:
You simply roll the plastic tarp out onto the floor, place the specially treated canvas on top of the plastic sheet, pour the 4oz of specially fomulated paint that comes in your kit onto the canvas, and then use your bodies to move the paint around and across the canvas, creating a unique abstract image. Throw the disposable slippers on and walk to the shower or bath to wash each other (or yourself if you've had enough 'together time' by then).



After your one of a kind abstract painting has dried, simply take the canvas to your local art store and have it stretched onto a frame. Or stretch it yourself buy purchasing stretching bars and using a staple gun. And voila! Your most intimate experience is immortalized as abstract art.

About the Artist:

South African born artist, Jeremy Brown has redefined romance and creativity with his abstract approach to creating art. Drawing inspiration from French artist Yves Klein and various works of art by Andy Warhol, Brown has been making art during intimacy for over a decade.

How it began:
One day, a close friend complimented him on a painting that was hung inside his house. After discovering how the painting was made, she asked him to provide her with everything she needed to make a painting with her husband on their anniversary. Jeremy put together a small package with all of the materials needed and wrote a little directional note for them to follow. They absolutely loved it, and the idea for the Love Art Kit was born. Jeremy then spent 6 months researching and developing materials to ensure a safe project, including a treated non-allergenic cotton canvas, as well as, a specially-formulated non-toxic, washable paint.

He packaged the kit under the name Love Is Art. According to Brown, "Art takes patience, dedication, practice, creativity, open mind, and an open heart...so does love. Love is art."

Simply put, LOVE IS ART is a kit that comes with everything a couple needs to safely make a tangible piece of abstract expressionistic art while being intimate with each other. What is left is a one-of-a-kind abstract painting that represents that special moment, that can then be stretched, framed and hung on the wall -- a reminder of the love that was shared. The kit also provides a unique bonding experience for the couples involved, as they work together as a team to craft their own unique work of art.

iPhone App and Social Media:

Those too shy to get in the paint can also express their inner artist via the "Capture the Love" iPhone application. "Capture The Love" allows users to capture, document and share moments of love with the world. Features of the app include the option of 32 various filters/effects, a timestamp, and geo-tagging to showcase where the "love" was captured.


Each upload can be shared via Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or directly sent to capturethelove to leave their mark on the Capture the Love world map (shown above). Users are able to download the app free of charge since October 1, 2012.

LOVE IS ART is not only a brand focused on the intersection of love and art, but on the emphasis of giving back. An avid supporter of the human rights campaign, Brown also mentors Atlanta youth participants of One Love Generation, a non profit organization bringing awareness and positive social change through art and community involvement. In addition, Brown seeks to publish a book titled "Capture The Love - Vol. 1". The book will contain all of the highest favored pictures submitted to capturethelove, with proceeds being donated to charity.

Jeremy Brown believes that like art, love knows no boundaries. He states, "Art takes patience, dedication, practice, creativity, an open mind, and an open heart...so does love. Love is art." Already a success with numerous couples, the LOVE IS ART kit is the perfect suggestion for those looking to explore their creative side. Perfect for various occasions including bachelorette parties, wedding gifts, anniversaries, birthdays, or engagements. With the holidays readily approaching, the kit is also as a great addition to your holiday gift guide.

Lip Service. Hand Painted Flatware With Hollywood Orifices by Andrea Mary Marshall.



The “Lip Service” dinner series by artist Andrea Mary Marshall consists of both “The Original Supper,” a set of hand painted spoons, and “The Marilyn Knives,” individual hand painted knives and both are available for purchase.


The Original Supper
“The Original Supper” is a thirteen piece set of double-sided, hand painted silverware inspired by 15th century Apostle Spoons, which included a decorative spoon for Jesus Christ and each of the twelve apostles seated at ‘The Last Supper.’


above: The thirteen Hollywood icons featured in “The Original Supper” are (from left to right): Shirley Temple, Dolly Parton, Joan Crawford, Mae West, Marilyn Monroe, Anna Nicole Smith, Madonna, Kim Kardashian, Elizabeth Taylor, Tina Turner, Diana Ross, Cher and Britney Spears.

Replacing Jesus and his apostles are thirteen female Hollywood icons objectified by only their red lips and labia. Madonna is featured as Jesus Christ or the ‘Savior Spoon’ and Marilyn Monroe is represented by a knife, symbolizing Judas and ‘the kiss of death.’ This double-sided set serves up sex as ‘the original meal ticket’ and comments on the consumption and exploitation of sexuality in popular culture.

Ted Noten's Gives Us The Willies With His Limited Edition Bone China Dildo


above: Noten's bone china dildo with 24k gold plated valve costs approx $3,800.00



I have blogged about artist/designer/jeweler Ted Noten's unusual jewelry in the past, specifically his show, Haunted by 36 Women, at Galerie Rob Koudijs last year.

Amongst those who may not know his name, you may be familiar with his oft blogged about lucite purse sculptures (shown below) in which guns and other weapons are embedded.



Today I'm sharing with you the latest addition to his collection of 26 cast ceramic and china 'Willies' or Dildos, Pump it up! A bone china piece that looks like an inflatable penis, complete with gold-plated blow-up valve.




Pump it UP! is a limited edition, bone China dildo by artist and designer Ted Noten. With a 24 carat gold-plated valve, it represents either a highly intriguing and humorous object or an altogether more refined erotic accessory, and promises to be one of Noten's most collectible pieces yet.

Created exclusively for 20ltd, it is limited to only 20 editions, costs $3,767.34 USD and can be purchased here

His "Messin Around With Willie" series includes these pieces as well:





The Bunny Guy dildo above is available for purchase here.



About Ted Noten:
(from 20ltd)
Dutch conceptual jeweller Ted Noten is one of the most exciting and unusual designers working today. Trained at the Rietveld Academy, Amsterdam, he became widely known for jewellery and handbags that featured variously provocative objects such as a whiff of cocaine, cherished rings, a little dead mouse wearing a tiny pearl necklace and some genuine pistols that were sealed inside blocks of acrylate. His work is never far from controversy. Sawing up a number of Mercedes cars into brooches, for instance, didn’t go down well with Mercedes. Nor did his work of art ‘The Pistol Saints’, that was exhibited at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. It was destroyed by order of the police, because it was alleged to be an illegal weapon.

During his time as artist-in-residence at the European Ceramic Work Centre in 2007, Ted investigated many new ceramic glazing techniques. Loath to incorporate this research into anything as mundane as a teapot or coffee cup and inspired by a trip to Japan, he resolved to employ it in a more memorable work of art, namely a typically-Noten series of dildos entitled Messin’ around with Willie.

The "R rated" Ballpoint Pen Drawings of Juan Francisco Casas



A friend of mine brought the amazing ballpoint pen drawings of Juan Francisco Casas (actual full name is Juan Francisco Casas Ruiz) to my attention via his tweet, which sent me to this article in the UK's Daily Mail. Only since it was published over a year ago, I was able to do a little research and find his more recent and compelling works.

The Penis Parade: Knit Dicks by Marianne Batlle




Marianne Batlle knits dicks. She also embroiders brooches in the likeness of designers, but those aren't nearly as blog worthy.

They have been shown at gallery exhibitions, sold to private collectors and featured in a virtual mock runway show as well as in a catalogue on her site. (Her site is in french, by the way).
