Our latest erotic art interview is with artist David Morgans of Cardiff, Wales, who creates digital erotic art along with his wife Cath, who he’s been with for the last five years. Based on photos of Cath or them as a couple, Morgans then transforms them using digital tools into erotic art which they sell on various websites including Redbubble, Society6 and Zazzle. At the moment it’s a side project for Morgans, who hopes as their artwork gains popularity, it can become his primary occupation. You can learn more about their erotic artwork and see more examples on their YouTube channel.
Two years ago in COVID lockdown 2020, I made my first erotic picture on my phone with an app and a sexy photo from Cath. Just by using filters and changing colours I made something I loved. I instantly knew I found my creative path, so I bought my first ever Camera and got a digital editing program on my computer, and with hundreds of tutorial YouTube videos and photos taken I started making pictures.
A year before I made my first picture on the phone app, I had to deal with and still am dealing with childhood trauma stuff. Taking positives from this, it’s helped me understand myself a lot more. Like what I’m good at, my skills/talents, what I want, what I like, who I am and why. It was like an awakening moment in my life. I’ve always been a creative person, but manually with my hands (making, fixing and working), thinking outside of the box to get things done. I’m also a little bit nerdy when it comes to instruction manuals and settings. I like to know what things are and what they do.
So when I made picture on the app it was like a Eureka moment, I instantly knew I wanted to create digital pictures for myself instead of hard manual work as an employee for rest of my life. So I’m creating my pictures for passion and to chase my dream of changing my life and how I live it.
The hardest pictures to take are the couple ones. Because there’s only the two of us, I have to set the timer and run to a position that we have previously chosen and hope we capture the shot. There’s always laughing and playing which often leads to sex and more naughtier photos.
Then the next step is to upload the photos on the computer to find the picture I want to create. I really enjoy the editing program; there’s so many different ways to create. All the options, settings and editing tools (nerdy), cutting and adding backgrounds, deciding on style of picture and picking colours. I love it all.
My art has somewhat stayed the same since I started. I just know what I like when I see it, so I learnt how to create a style I like. Clean, colourful and naughty shapes.
