Smut Visions NYC was a passion project started in 2023.


The idea was simple: take a notebook everywhere and ask everyone to draw their idea of SMUT. No digital submissions were accepted, all drawings were done in person. Over 500 New Yorkers, along with a few tourists, provided illustrations.

Participants were encouraged to draw whatever came to mind. The only rules were: it needed to be dirty, one drawing per person, no do-overs, and colors were limited to black, pink, and/or yellow. The first time someone was asked to draw smut, the answer was unequivocally “no”. It took some convincing. As the pages slowly filled with illustrations, it became easier to get a yes. People saw the range of skill levels (from stick figure to detailed anatomy) and felt comfortable joining in.

The printed version of Smut Visions NYC is a curated selection of ideas, styles, genres, and techniques. Featuring contributions from well-known names, including Richard Kern, Mike Diana, Eartheater, Cumgirl8, Olivier Zahm, Heather Benjamin, and Clayton Patterson.


The book made its debut at the NYC Erotic Art Fair, hosted by Please Knock, accompanied by an exhibition celebrating its release.
