The Erotic Mind of Aunt Becky — Podcast #186 — 02/22/10

[Look for the podcast play button below.]

Hey sex fans,

We’re back with more of The Erotic Mind podcast series. Over the last two years we’ve spent numerous hours with talented authors who have talked with us about their erotic short stories or novels. Late last year we began to diverge a bit from that standard fair to broaden our perspective to include another type of sex writing — the memoir. Today we go even further a field to include blogging.

Today I am thrilled to welcome one of my favorite personalities of the blogosphere, the enormously funny and delightfully smutty, Becky Sherrick Harks. She is the remarkable woman behind the wildly popular blog, Mommy Wants Vodka. She also freelances and contributes to other online sites.

Aunt Becky, as she is known online, will read two hilarious selections from the fruit of her Erotic Mind. You’ll be laughing out loud as she skewers modern sexuality.

Aunt Becky and I discuss:

  • How she started her blogging career.
  • Working with a fellow blogger on the Mushroom Printing blog.
  • Launching Mommy Wants Vodka in 2007.
  • The trouble that name causes.
  • Back to school to study microbiology.
  • Family details.
  • Writing under her real name.
  • Being comfortable enough in her own skin to write autobiographically.

David Cantero Returns — Podcast #184 — 02/08/10

[Look for the podcast play button below.]

Hey sex fans,

I gotta tell ya; I have a soft spot in my heart for every single person I interview for my numerous podcast series.  They’ve all enriched my life; and, for the most part, we’ve all had a good time together.  But once in a while I have the good fortune to encounter someone I really hit it off with.  One such person is David Cantero.  And he is back with us again this week for Part 2 of our chat for The Erotic Mind podcast series.

There is something so charming, disarming and loveable about this exceptionally talented, Spanish born erotic visual artist and illustrator.  I enjoyed our time together last week immensely.  But wait, did you somehow miss Part 1 of our conversation?  Well, all ya gotta do is use the site’s search function in the sidebar to your right, type in Podcast #183 and PRESTO!  But don’t forget to include the #sign when you search.

One final thing; last week I casually mentioned to David that I felt bad that I wasn’t able to see any of his lusty comics, because they aren’t available here in the USA.  Five days later a package arrived from David and in it was a copy of all his published work and each and every one of them was signed.  I was overwhelmed. It was like freakin’ Christmas, don’t cha know.  My sincerest thanks to you, David, for your unparalleled generosity.

David and I discuss:

  • Using the mediums of words and images.
  • His twenty self-published publications.
  • The story lines of some of his most popular comics.
  • Coming out of the closet; a common theme in his work.
  • Including fellow artists in some of his publications.
  • His Facebook Fan Page.
  • Having fun with stereotypes.
  • What he looks for in the erotic art of others.
  • His advice for aspiring erotic artists.

You absolutely must visit David on his website and get an eye full of his delicious artwork. Look for it HERE!

The Erotic Mind of David Cantero — Podcast #183 — 02/01/10

[Look for the podcast play button below.]

Hey sex fans,

You know how I keep tellin’ ya that The Erotic Mind podcast series is all about conversations with noted erotic artists of every stripe from all over the world, right? And how our discussions are geared to uncovering something of the creative process involved in this specialized art form, right? Well then, today we take an audio field trip to Europe; Luxembourg, to be exact. So we can chat with the amazing Spanish born erotic visual artist and illustrator, David Cantero.

Sometimes when we travel abroad like this there can be a bit of a language barrier between me and the artist I’m interviewing. David is such a good sport; despite the fact that his English is not as good as his French or Spanish, he still agreed to talk to us. But with just one proviso, that he could invite two of his English-speaking friends, Sean and Julian, to join him while we chatted. So today’s podcast has a bit of a party atmosphere. David’s friends lend a hand with translation when necessary. And we all have a marvelously good time.

David and I discuss:

  • His muses, Sean and Julian.
  • His multi-national background.
  • His “day job” at The Picture Factory.
  • Publishing his own comics in Spain.
  • How he got his start as an erotic artist.
  • What inspires his erotic images.
  • Current trends in erotic comics.
  • Defining what is art and what is erotic.
  • The difference between erotic art and pornography.
  • His other work, which includes syfy, horror and children’s books.

You absolutely must visit David on his website and get an eye full of his delicious artwork. Look for it HERE!

Hey sex fans,

Today I have an intensely thought provoking interview with the fantastic artist, illustrator Steve Computerand author of several erotic comics, Steve MacIsaac.  His work is sultry, unabashedly sexual, (some even claim it’s porn); but whatever you call it you can’t deny powerful human element to his art and stories.  In his world the men are men, with all the complexities, passion and ambiguity that contemporary masculinity implies.  You will notice immediately that my guest, like his creations, is a power to be reckoned with.

Steve is here as part of The Erotic Mind

Steve and I discuss:

  • The derivation of the term Shirtlifter, the title of one of his comics.
  • Creating comics with and without words and the difference between them.
  • His collaboration with Dale Lazarov.
  • His stories, like all good erotica, being very meaty.
  • His characters self-discovery and even self-loathing.
  • What comes first, story or image.
  • Working in the digital media.
  • His work as autobiography.
  • Being his own publisher.

I have an outstanding show in store for you today.  After a spate of wonderful chats with visual artists over the past several weeks for this The Erotic Mind
podcast series, today we return to home base; the world of words.GeoffBW3

I have the pleasure of introducing you to an enormously talented author from down under, Geoffrey Knight.  He is a rising star in the firmament of the erotic novel, don’t cha know.  And besides his big fat uncut writing talent, he is also a laugh riot.  I love it when I can barely make it trough an interview because my guest and I are laughing so much.

Oh, and you should also know that Geoffrey‘s appearance here at DDSA.com coincides with his triumphant book tour in San Francisco as part of Litquake X.  All of you in the audience who live in the San Francisco Bay Area ought to high-tail it to one of his three appearances over the next week — tonight Oct 12th he’ll be at Books Inc in The Castro; Thursday Oct 15th he’ll be at The Supperclub South of Market; and finally on Friday Oct 16 he’ll read and sign copies of his book at A Different Light Bookstore in the Castro.

Geoffrey and I discuss:

  • Taking gay literature on a roller coaster ride of high-speed action.
  • Action heroes and homoeroticism.
  • The plot of The Cross of Sins.
  • Coming up with the right dynamic for all his characters.
  • Writing for an audience of one — himself.
  • Working with his publisher, Cleis Press.
  • Writing erotica under his real name.
  • Writing as a kid.

As a special treat for all you out there who love a hot Aussie accent as much as I do, Geoffrey will share a mouth-watering selection of the fruit of his Erotic Mind.  You won’t want miss these, people!
