We're donating a box to a fundraising benefit for The Octopus Club benefiting the Paul Kirby Foundation, which provides emergency financial support for HIV/AIDS patients in Central Texas. It's an Art Erotica art auction on April 5th in Austin. The art at auction there will all be of a titillating nature, and 100% of the proceeds go to the foundation. It's a great cause, and a great reason to buy a naughty piece of art, so go to the event. We made this one specially for it- we've always wanted a reason to make a sexy box. Below the "read more" break (which for some bizarre reason doesn't work on Facebook) are pictures of our contribution (if you're going to be offended by sexy bits, don't look).
It's a Golden Snatch box! The top is etched glass carved in layers with the glass carved through at appropriate places. Through the, er, holes, you can see the purple suede lining of the box. The rest of the box is made of ribbon mahogany, and there is 22K goldleaf surrounding the etching on the glass. Ain't she purty? Support this cause by buying a piece of art there! You KNOW you always wanted something like this.
We did consider making a "Dick in the Box" box a la the SNL skit, but I wanted to carve glass with holes, and the vagina was just way more amenable an organ to this end. Perhaps next year.
