Drawings that Make You Want to do it: James Roper

Two of my favorite things in this world are 1. art, and 2. sex. So it comes as no surprise that I was immediately drawn to to James Roper's drawings of dis-robing (dis-bikini-ing?) pornstars and colorful explosions. In his series Rapture, Roper obscures the over exposed breasts and faces of some of our favorite adult entertainers with wild explosions of color. Eliciting far more genuine feelings about sex than your average silicon-enhanced porn-grimace, Roper's drawings depict the kind of eruption we all hope our partners feel when we start to take off our clothes. And they look cool.
