[NSFW] These Sexual Illustrations Will Make You Blush

The graphic illustrations of Apollonia Saintclair are new version of contemporary sexuality.

Explicit, natural, funny, and surreal are the sexual explorations of illustrator Apollonia Saintclair. Her images are thinly veiled erotica with an open chest of taboos. Saintclair's illustrations are dramatizations of contemporary sexuality; caricatures of unexplored visual impulses. Her fine ink strokes give personality and texture to nonexistent humans in suggestive poses. The drawings run an enviable gamut of erotic situations, from expansive landscapes, to boudoir settings.

The erotic—often downright pornographic—illustrations are largely influenced by the black-and-white cinema of the 60s, the unconscious limbo that comes prior to sleep, and the literature of Jorge Luis Borges, Guy de Maupassant, and HP Lovecraft. Says Saintclair, the artistic process is based on two concepts: history and graphic impact combining and thus "creating images with great visual power." Check out more of her work below:
