Dear Friends,
Last year I participated in Erotic Signature's competition and I was happy when I received their book with
one of my photos in it. Both the soft and the hard cover editions are true jewels.
Apart from my own vanity to have my work in this book, I was happy to see so many fellow artists I worked with over the years. The book truly is a global
effort, unlike many other publications on erotic art and it reflects what all of us on the web have accomplished.
This year, as AMEA's curator, I am in the jury and I would really love to see more friends of AMEA submitting their works, especially since
AMEA will organize an Amsterdam exhibit in cooperation with EroticSignature.com for 2008.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
Below you will find the newsletter with all details of the competition.
My very best wishes,
Hans van der Kamp // AmeaNet
