It's 10 o'clock, do you know where your art is?

Hello, darlings! How are you?

A big glittery welcome to those just joining us from the Clio Art Fair last weekend. It was lovely meeting you and getting a chance to hear about your art adventures. The Fair was a fabulous time, filled to the brim with so much great art! I’m honored to have been in such company for the weekend.

The delighted collector of Sub rosa (7 in x 5 in, oil on panel), picture above, mentioned the desire to display it in his bathroom. Love it! I’m all about creative ideas in the display of art. It’s so easy to get stuck on the standards: hallways, living rooms, dining rooms, office. But what about bathrooms, bedrooms, ceilings, floors, closets, odd little nooks and crannies all over the place?

For this one, however, a note of caution is warranted. Oil paintings, especially one like this on wood, may not fare well in the constant temperature and humidity fluctuations found in most bathrooms. He’ll need to keep an eye on it and move it at the first sign of trouble—cracks and mold are the dangers here.

Art in the bathroom is a stunning idea and one I highly recommend to everyone. But it does come with some additional challenges. If you’ve got interesting ideas and stories about art in unusual places, smash the reply button and let know. I’m always on the lookout for fun and inspiring ideas to share with intrepid collectors.

Send nudes they'll never forget!

Until next time, flame on! 🔥

Edward Ficklin (he/him), the maverick artist not afraid to say gay, is dedicated to creating erotic art as a pathway to liberation for all. His surrealist work centers the nude figure exploring its own delights, ranging from the sensual to the ecstatic. In defiance of the societal forces attempting erasure by legislation, algorithm, or so-called “community” standards, he delights viewers with imagery of sex and body positivity. His paintings have appeared in NYC galleries like Foley Gallery and the SoHo Project Space, national exhibitions dedicated to erotic art such as CLAW Leather Getaway Kinky Art Show and Tucson Erotica, and numerous naughty, but high quality, publications like Erotic Edges, Doable Guys, and Dirty Little Drawings. He likes his martinis straight up, with a twist, and, of course, made with gin. He adores the grit, freedom, and wild unpredictability of urban existence and continues, likely to the grave, attempts to get that orchid plant to bloom again.
