Back to School Erotic Art Making Event!

Aphrodite Gallery presents a back to school erotic art making event!

Ever get in trouble for drawing “inappropriate” phalluses in school or
breasts on your desk, or the bathroom stall? Were the illustrations in
your Sex Ed. book not cutting it for you? Well now’s the chance to let
that all out with a vengeance!

Aphrodite Gallery presents a back to school interactive erotic art
making event. Opening night, Sat. Sept 5th , there will be painting
with bodies, collage making with dirty pictures, lots of crayons,
markers, mixed media, plus whatever you want to bring. Refreshments will
be served.

After the opening, Aphrodite will have art supplies in the gallery all
September for anyone who wants to do a little diddle…and contribute to
the masterpiece on the wall.

Closing night (September’s 4th Friday 7-9) anyone who wants will be
able to take a piece of the completed work home with them for a small fee.

July 24- August 28 2009: Jayce Mirada

Boy on Boy

Jayce Mirada is a self-taught photographer currently residing in Willow Grove, PA.  His photography primarily consists of fashion and artistic nude portraits of men. Bondage, S&M, Domination and the dramatic erotic relationship between men are strong elements of this body of work that was created between 1994 and 2000.  He has helped many people get into modeling through portfolio development and internet exposure. “Photography has always been my creative form of free expression. Bondage, S&M, Domination, has always fascinated me. I was always excited when I found models who were interested in participating in this photography project.”  His work will be on display at the Aphrodite Gallery (620 S. 5th Street – 3rd Floor)  from August 1st – 31st
