Longtime followers of Erotic Mad Science will know that the tireless CG artist Drake at Medusarrific has long been an inspiration to me, pushing out as he does a new edition of his A.S.F.R.-themed CG comic every month. So it is with great pleasure that I found in my inbox just recently an unsolicited but very welcome bonus contribution from Drake for this year’s Squick or Squee parade. Someone is busy in the lab making golden statues…

British CG artist KristinF has done a great deal of art on commission for Erotic Mad Science, most recently a distinguished illustration sequence that contributes to our understanding of the origin of the history of goo girls. For her two Squick or Squee illustration this year, she takes two characters from that sequence, the mad scientist Dr. Urulchek and his long suffering (or should that be long enjoying?) academic assistant Bettina. Here, they have cooked up a new experiment:

The third of Dark Vanessa’s Halloween entries this year goes for full-on tentacle sex (by a brain beast, possibly?) with the whimsical twist of a candy-corn color theme.

Dark Vanessa’s second Squick or Squee image for this year has a much more traditional Halloween theme.

The Argentine artist Dark Vanessa has done a lot of work for Erotic Mad Science over the past two years, and she has come up with three illustrations for this year’s Squick or Squee parade. In the first of these, a bathing beauty discovers that there’s something squicky (or erotic?) in the briny depths.

Our second entry for Squick or Squee Week 2012 was created by Niceman, the CG artist who thrilled me by doing work that got featured by Violet Blue. In this dark work here, Niceman comes up with a scenario in which a lady mad scientist has no choice but to take refuge in a laboratory tube from her angry creations.

I might have been the first person to place a commission with Niceman, and he’s now publishing his work not just on the Internet, but on the covers of actual books, so if you’re a member of the DeviantArt community, be sure to leave a comment of congratulations.
In the corner of the Northern Hemisphere that I inhabit leaves are turning and spooky things are walking about at night, and we all know what that means here at Erotic Mad Science. Yes it’s Squick or Squee Week, and the third annual one, too.
For those of you who weren’t around for the first two Squick or Squee Weeks, the idea is something like this: in the week before Halloween, I run a series of illustrations that have the dual properties of being erotic (at least to some viewers) and at the same time perhaps a bit frightening or repulsive as well.
This year is a little different from past years, in that Squick or Squee week is going to be all bespoke, that is, consist entirely of images which I specifically commissioned from artists who have done great work here at Erotic Mad Science before. The commissions were deliberately left very broad. Artists were given the concept of Squick or Squee week (and their fees, of course) and set loose to produce whatever their imaginations came up with. I am pleased with the outcomes and hope you will be, too.
Who better for our first entry of the week than our Tales of Gnosis College creator Lon Ryden, whose Squick or Squee week entry should please all of you A.S.F.R. fans out there. It’s called Gorgon’s Plaything.

For the first time since I started this site more than two years ago I am considering a design overhaul. I am hoping to achieve a couple of things.
Nothing is set down in stone right now, but I do have a proposed draft site, using a customized version of Sayontan Sinha’s remarkably powerful and flexible WordPress theme Suffusion. Here’s a sneak peak:
You can click for larger. It’s set up with examples of different kinds of posts I do, as well as a sample page and a sample comic, and even dummy ads where I think they would be likely to appear. You don’t have to limit yourself to just the picture, though. It’s set up in a subdomain of its own and I invite you to head on over and take a look around. Let me know what you think, either by leaving comments here, there, or just getting touch with me directly. All sincere and non-abusive opinions will be very welcome.
As an aficionado of a certain kind of erotic imagery I can (and have) spent time browsing through the vast space of image sites known as tumblrs until I burn out monitor pixels and make my eyeballs bleed. My persistence has been rewarded with at least one tumblr I most definitely recommend to any thaumatophile, to wit Fifi-Feeling Is First. Intrepid proprietress Fifi has put a <em>ton</em> of relevant imagery up there, so I rate it a definite must look-in if you like the content on this site.
Two appetizers to get the juices flowing: a most unusual take on the tube girl meme.
And quite recently, an appealingly weird sex machine illustration.
(Click through for a lot larger.) And naturally there is much more, neatly arranged under a great variety of tags (“Bride of Octopus” being one of my personal favorites.)
But it’s not just imagery that makes this tumblr so appealing. Fifi has a way of integrating the imagery into a narrative of topoi, a palace of imagination analogous to the palace of memory used by classical rhetoricians . It’s something that ought to be read first hand but, okay, one hint: another popular tag is “miskatonic.”
So Faustus says, check it out.
John Villalino has sent on a sneak peak at Final Repose, the latest chapter of his freeze-themed comic Pretty Vacant. On this page on of his heroines, Gigi, is frozen and about to be auctioned off. And I suspect her eventual buyers will not have very nice plans for her…

Pretty Vacant is a comic book after the classic fashion, printed with ink on paper and everything, but if you surf on over to John’s site it should be easy to find the means of getting touch with him and procuring your very own exciting copy. Don’t miss out!
