Engulfed by the fish-monster

As long as we’re doing girls-and-tentacles art for a few days here at Erotic Mad Science I thought I’d revive this illustration, which was the subject of Bacchus’s provenance research a few years ago. The results were originally published in this 24 December 2013 post at Infernal Wonders.

This damsel devoured by toothed and tentacled beast is the work of Gojin Ishihara, a prolific 1970s Japanese illustrator. You can find it among many more of his works here. There’s another gallery here. Image provenance by Bacchus at Erosblog.

Unfortunately the first gallery Bacchus found appears to have lost its pictures, and my efforts to restore its content via the Internet Archive have been unavailing.

Navy nurse seduced

Lured by the tentacles.

Today we introduce a new artist at Erotic Mad Science, Suzarte, whom I have commissioned to do two illustrations imagining the fate of the Navy nurses from Bait who had fatal wartime encounters with the tentacle beast. This illustration is “Navy Nurse Seduction.”

Suzarte has an online presence at Portfoliobox and you can (as I do) also support him on Patreon.

Heart exposed

This illustration makes a nice rhyme for Anatomy of the Heart, no? It’s a reblog from a 23 December 2013 post at Infernal Wonders, tracing back to a tumblr called Degenerate Lowlife which has (of course, one might say) vanished off Tumblr itself but is partly preserved in the Internet Archive. The artist works under the name of “Malady Charlotina,” and she’s turns out to be a rather fascinating character, because she is also a fetish model who works under the name Ulorin Vex. She has a website, which can take you either her artist or model personae.

C’mon baby, do the exploitation (II, or Narco Nympho)

This pulp cover was originally blogged in this 22 December 2013 post at Infernal Wonders contains the text “She rode the needle to depravity’s depths. Narco Nympho. By John Dexter. A Leisure Book.” It originally showed up at a still-extant tumblr called La La. Drugs are kinda Erotic Mad Science, right? Especially when there are tattooed naked women involved? Though probably this particular piece of pulp caught my eye because I’m currently reading — with no small pleasure — Paula Rabinowitz’s American Pulp.

C’mon baby, do the exploitation! (I)

First blogged by me in this 22 December 2013 post at Infernal Wonders, this little pair of illustrations appears to be promotional art — possibly run in local newspapers — for the 1959 sci-fi cheapie Teenagers from Outer Space. I’ve seen this movie (or at least, the send-up of it done by MST3K), and I can attest that it does at least have the scene promised by the advertising. If you really want to, you can watch or download the movie the Internet Archive, or watch it as embedded here:

The MST3K version is currently available at YouTube, though I shan’t make any promises about how stable it will be.

Anatomy of the heart

This painting, Anatomy of the Heart (¡Y tenía corazón! [Anatomía del corazón]), by Spanish painter Enrique Simonet (1866-1927), in spite of its having an ostensibly naturalistic subject matter, has always struck me as having just a bit of madness about it. What is the anatomist thinking as he holds his subject’s heart in his hand? Are the really just scientific thoughts? I originally blogged it in a 21 December 2018 post at Infernal Wonders.
