It has been very hard to keep up and things are only going to move faster. Let’s start off with the obvious. Rick Castro sold My Penis!
My Penis is the name of two glow in the dark pieces for the Antebellum Halloween group show. One is on a paddle, and the other is on canvas board. Rick brought them to the Tom of Finland Art fair this weekend as part of his exhibit in the Tom of Finland dungeon. I dropped by Saturday evening and Rick gave me the good news.
There’s some really great stuff of the fair on Instragram. I suggest checking out

I didn’t exhibit at TOF this year. I wanted to check out art, hang out and relax a bit, and to be honest, I’m glad I did. I haven’t been feeling well lately. I got to support the event by making a donation and buying drinks. The foundation house is looking even better this year too! They’ve remodeled the garden with additional fountains and shaded areas to relax. It’s quite inspirational. I’d like to try some of this with my own back yard in the future.
Next up was Crazy Sharon’s 45th anniversary party for her apartment. It sounds like a silly occasion to mark, but you should see her place. Sharon has covered almost every inch of her one bedroom apartment in Santa Monica with photos from her adventures at swing clubs, Club FUCK, Sin A Matic, Threshold, and of course Tom of Finland. In addition, she’s crammed in there artwork by some of the kinkiest artists such as Bishop, Justice Howard, The Hun, and Michael Kirwan. Many of them are personally signed as she’s been a supporter of kinky art since the 80’s.
It feels like someone’s been using my chest as a punching bag, from the inside out. Even though I’m not coughing constantly, I’ve been getting these gagging sensations. I’ve had to stay quiet, and stay down. Sharon got me a good seat on her new couch and poured me orange juice as guests began to arrive. It’s fun to watch people who’ve never seen the apartment before stunned by her overwhelming museum of BDSM.
Sunday, La Luz de Jesus wrapped the 2016 Coaster Show with a closing party, and Mark Todd was doing a book signing for his solo show in the showroom next door. This was much more relaxed than the opening show. Reflections in Femdom and Purple Pain came home with me today. Those are still for sale through the gallery for the next six months. Contact info@laluzdejesus.com for purchase info.
By the way, I’ve talked with the folks at New Profanity, Antebellum and La Luz de Jesus. Everything is good. I’ll explain more later.
Next week is the Halloween group show at Antebellum with the opening party on Saturday, October 8th.
This month, Moon Mistress is on display at New Profanity on Melrose. Natasha also has a bunch of my greeting cards and stickers on display. Go check them out! You can find details at NewProfanity.com or https://www.instagram.com/newprofanity.
SMUT 4 is coming! This night combining art and kink will be October 21st at Sanctuary LAX. I’ll have more as we get closer to the date. Find them online at https://www.facebook.com/events/291999907804123.
And finally, episode 2 of 4 Minutes of Fetish will get done! I just need to be able to sit at the computer long enough to wrap it up.
