Las Vegas’ Sin City Gallery announces the launch of its international erotic art competition 12” of Sin: So Much Art You Can Barely Fit It All In, seeking the best in sophisticated, intelligent, and clever erotic art. Featuring a jury of experts from around the world, the competition will culminate in the exhibition of 25 finalists at Sin City Gallery and the selection of winner in February, 2012. All the original work in this show, intended to be an annual competition and exhibition, will be under 12” in every direction, a limit designed to push the artist’s boundaries because, like they say, it’s not the size that matters, it’s what you do with it!

The winner of 12” of Sin will have his or her work featured in a later solo exhibition at Sin City Gallery in Las Vegas. The winner will receive a trip to Las Vegas to attend the solo exhibition’s “Meet the Artist” cocktail reception. An art book featuring work from the winner’s solo exhibition and the 25 finalists will be published and available for sale during the winner’s solo exhibition and at the next 12″ of Sin’s annual exhibition.

David’s family moved often when he was young, making it hard to make friends, so he passed the time impersonating his favorite comedians and making pencil drawings of celebrity faces as Al Pacino and Woody Allen. But it was photography for which he had a passion, even at the age of 9 David clicked away with an old rangefinder his uncle gave him. So as time passed he focused solely on photography, and then worked as a professional photographer in advertising. Based out of Chicago David won many accolades and awards for his establishing the ‘selective focus’ technique. After a time of transformation he turned to painting which later included bending wire into sculpture.

Now he lives and works in Miami Beach and is an artist-in-resident at the Artcenter/SF.

A few days ago we received works of Claudia Little and we are posting one to see how you feel about her art.

Her bio reads as follows: “I live in Hinterland Northern New Mexico, the land of the serpent and I was born in the land of the living dead in Memphis, Tennessee. I am an artist of many trades from knitting to welding, and a fashion designer. My new passion is a photo series of erotic studies.”
