In the words of the founders of Erotic Signature “One of the primary goals of Erotic Signature is to promote the work of the many talented artists who have already made an impression in the subject of erotic art, but as equally to offer those who are unknown or just starting out an opportunity to prove their gift and ability to the world. Our intent is to serve as a vehicle to help communicate the seriousness of this art genre and change the perspective of those who do not consider this art form as “Real Art”. This event was held at the BoxEight Studios in Los Angeles, and was the second of a three part multi-city event showing the 2009 winners of the Erotic Art contest sponsored by Erotic Signature (http://eroticsignature.com/jcms/).
