Tue, 17 Jan 2012 22:08:58 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/323587/ I am pleased with two recent book purchases: "Hard Curves, the fantasy art of Julie Bell" and "Dreams, the art of Boris Vallejo". Fri, 30 Dec 2011 11:59:19 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/322236/ Hi, I saw a link to this elsewhere on the net and I thought it might be of interest. It is a catalogue of a recent auction in Paris. Tue, 27 Dec 2011 10:49:27 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/322050/ I have seen the ArtErotica event at Cork Street from 19-27 Jan advertised quite heavily recently. I will be visiting London that week and I am thinking about going. Is it likely to be good? Thu, 08 Dec 2011 10:07:43 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/320804/ I'd like to see this exhibition next Thursday: http://www.npg.org.uk/whatson/late-shift-1/ppptour1512.php and would like some company.

Thu, 01 Sep 2011 22:47:50 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/313155/ Just seen this article in the Grauniad and thought I'd post about it seeing as it is about art, and involves a lot of pain so there's definitely a link to masochism there. Sat, 11 Jun 2011 20:33:08 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/306801/ This should be good: Tue, 31 May 2011 13:59:33 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/305998/ Hi All Tue, 10 May 2011 09:40:34 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/304428/ The Guardian/Observer have a promotion on for a free pass into 200 museums, galleries and historic properties. Mon, 02 May 2011 11:45:28 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/303860/ stumbled across these photos the other day, they are exquisite: http://www.chinahamilton.com/page1.htm Thu, 28 Apr 2011 11:32:18 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/303572/ Not sure if this will interest any here but thought I'd post it up in case. Mon, 21 Mar 2011 09:59:44 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/300584/ As there are lots of things opening right now - how about a 'good exhibitions thread' where we can let people know what we have seen if we thought it any good etc? Sun, 20 Feb 2011 20:54:19 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/298262/ h Sat, 19 Feb 2011 07:40:07 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/298116/ I have been looking for sometime for artwork depiciting the female form clad in latex. I have found items that have latex clad females with lots of tubes and other parephernlia attached, but I am looking for something more simple - just a female dressed in latex - say a catsuit - hooded or not - well represented and tasteful. Perhaps something you could hang on the landing or hall wall that would not frighten the quests ! I would appreciate if anyone has seen something along these lines pointing me in the right direction. Wed, 02 Feb 2011 22:20:11 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/296779/ CALL FOR ARTISTS. (UK artists are preferred but no one will be excluded if we feel their work is appropriate.) Fri, 31 Dec 2010 03:43:05 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/293646/ As 2010 yields to 2011, and the festivities start, I thought it might be nice to try capturing something of your 2010, or your current festive mood, in a Haiku thread. Thu, 30 Dec 2010 12:27:29 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/293568/ Could you paint the visual nature of an orgasm? If so, what would it look like? Sun, 05 Dec 2010 05:00:33 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/291427/ Hi, I've just been doing up my creaky old website http://themissingvolumeone.org with shiny new jQuery - sort of an introduction for my work, but also do you think the interface works well? Is it professional enough? There are some rough edges, like when elements get hidden and shown by DOM manipulation, they flicker in and out of visibility.
