After Harry and I were married in 1986 we started sketching erotic drawings for each other every morning over a cup of coffee (hence the name of this site - "coffee drawings"). It started rather innocuously, when Harry left me a simple suggestive sketch before going off to work and to which I responded with a sketch of my own. It quickly escalated into the more involved erotic works seen at coffeedrawings.com. In Harry's case, the eroticism of the drawings carried over into other mediums resulting in erotic prints, sculptures, watercolors and even large paintings. While his work always had a smouldering sensuality to it, it wasn't until we began these drawings that Carmean's sensuality morphed into unabashed sexuality.
In the beginning we would simply start the day with our morning coffee and while sipping it we would draw some of the most provocative sensual things we could think of for each other....we found it quite amusing and it was a great way to keep up our drawing skills. We covered many themes in the drawings, such as centaurs, harlequins (a personal favorite), acrobats, Greek mythology, sexy shapes and letters, erotic tea cups, and so on. The photo was taken of us in our breakfast nook in Laurel Canyon in the early 1990’s where many of the drawings were made. We are making erotic drawings to each other in the photo in it hence the slightly sly smiles.
After we had children, my output was drastically reduced and after they grew older we had to go “undercover”, but Harry continued to draw and paint these works well into the 2000’s. After many years of remaining unseen by anyone, it seemed like a good thing to share them with others so they could enjoy them as much as we have.
