"Sex in Art" Weekly Picks--ONEQ
Usually for "Sex in Art" picks, I include artwork from several artists in a single post, but today I'm focusing on ONEQ. While browsing the official website, there were so many illustrations worthy of inclusion that I felt obligated to feature them. And from what I can tell, this is a female artist--making the artwork all the more enticing.

News Spotlight: The Art of Thievery
I'm always impressed with the balls on some people. I'm not sure what art thieves do with these stolen famous artworks, but I'm sure it's more a thrill of the chase kinda thing.
From UPI: "LOS ANGELES, Aug. 15 (UPI) -- The Rembrandt drawing, "The Judgment," was stolen from a luxury hotel in Marina del Rey, Calif., despite top notch security, officials said.
The 11-by-7-inch drawing was valued at more than $250,000 and was taken from the Ritz-Carlton Marina del Rey when the curator was distracted, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Investigators reviewing hotel security video said the heist late Saturday was thought out in advance. The drawing disappeared when someone distracted a curator.
"The hotel has top-quality security," a Los Angeles County sheriff's spokesman said. "We believe this was a well-thought-out and well-planned theft."
Officials said the hotel sometimes offers high-value artwork for sale. The drawing belongs to the Linerais Institute of San Francisco.
Hotel officials declined to comment on the theft, saying only the hotel is cooperating with investigators.
The Dutch master's works are popular targets for art thieves, art experts said, second only to works by Picasso. There have been 81 documented thefts of Rembrandt's works in the past 100 years, said Anthony Amore, co-author of the book "Stealing Rembrandts.""

Metal Taboo's Liquor Bizness
Metal Taboo is now in the liquor business. Well sort of. We are now serving flasks to add to our vice offerings. There are two different styles of flasks. The first are designed using high gloss colored resin backgrounds with embedded taboo inspired metal emblems. The second consists of original artwork (based on pieces in the Metal Taboo metalwork line) using colored resin layers. Both are unique, handmade, high-quality, and designed to keep you tipsy (errr most likely trashed) in style! Take a look.

"The Hard Sell": Taboo In Advertising
The above ads depicting humanity crimes as sport with ties to the 2008 Beijing Olympics were part of a campaign done by advertising agency TBWA France for Amnesty International. The very powerful campaign focusing on human rights (or lack there of) in China, however, was refused by Amnesty for being too negative. Well, TBWA's office didn't want its hard work to go to waste and decided to enter it into the Cannes Lions advertising contest. And then shit hit the fan.
The ad won an award. It got lots of attention online. The Chinese were pissed and called for boycotts. Amnesty denied all ties to the ads, reporting its original rejection. And TBWA Worldwide claimed the France office entered the contest unknowingly to everyone else in the agency and put out an investigation. So basically, everyone backtracked and didn't want anything to do with the campaign. And what a shame. It is a very innovative and creative concept. And the fact it has a real message on top of the creativity makes it brilliant.
