We’re gearing up for the best Halloween! And if you’re thinking, “It’s not even September yet!” then consider this pre-season if you will. A time for us to get ready for all the spooky and juicy delights that await us in October. And we’re kicking off pre-season by introducing you to the artists of Seduction 2026.
These artists answered our call for pieces that would enhance and inspire our Wicked Wonderland. Art that leans into whimsical Gothic fantasy, but also isn’t afraid to explore the macabre. We’re looking forward to a delicious mix of mediums, themes, and styles. So let’s see who we’ve got!
The Queen’s Favorite Artists
Wei Wei, a Chinese-born illustrator and tattoo artist, discovered her artistic calling in the United States, immersing herself in Los Angeles and New Mexico before settling in Tucson, Arizona, where she earned her Fine Arts degree with a focus on illustration. Her work—both on paper and on skin—draws inspiration from dreams, fantasy, personal experiences, and raw emotions. Wei Wei’s purpose in creating art is to evoke a powerful emotional response within her audience. Whether inspiring sadness, sentimentality, amusement, horror, or anger, her art becomes a profound reflection of shared humanity, inviting viewers and collectors to explore their own emotions through her evocative and captivating creations.
Ash A. is a mixed medium artist hailing from the lush Pacific Northwest. Her art recipe contains vibrant colors, a dash of whimsy, and a quirky humor all thrown into a blender of weird to create an eye feast that feels like a warm hug on a rainy day.
Nero Villagallos O’Reilly is a Seattle-based Latino & indigenous cartoonist with 10+ years in the erotic (web and print) comics scene. His comics use the framework of gratification, sexual and psychosexual, to tell stories about gay men’s lives. They tread the line of known and unknown horrors, often encouraging the reader to draw their own parallels between fear and arousal. They also prominently feature discussions around BDSM, hedonism, and the frightening world of the food industry. His work has been published by Slipshine, Filthy Figments, Iron Circus Comics, COYOTE, The Nib, Real Change, and more.
Stasia Burrington is a Japanese-American artist living and working in Seatac, WA, with her favorite people and two cats. She is a kind and curious illustrator and storyteller, with over 30 years of image-and-object making experience. She is a full time artist/illustrator. She is into mycology, foraging, music, camping, fat nerdy science books, coffee, noodles, and ice cream.
Pomegranate Muse creates out of her home studio in the Heritage District of Gilbert, AZ. She is a self-taught artist and has been a passionate, eclectic creator from the time she was old enough to pick up a crayon. She works primarily in watercolor and ink, but also takes on the occasional mural project. Much of her subject matter is drawn from the sciences, dreams, and her distinctive interpretations of experiences brought to life through the strokes of a paintbrush. As a neurodivergent artist, she is able to deliver a polymathic, sui genesis perspective that would otherwise be imperceptible to neurotypical viewers.
Hooligan Lili is a Pacific Northwest-based multi-disciplinary artist. While her foundation lies in watercolor and acrylic painting, her current practice is rooted in the tactile art of printmaking. Long ago, someone told her that there was nothing funny about sex. Since then, it has been Lili’s goal to share with the world the laughter and fun that can be had during sexual, sensual, or erotic experiences.
Verdant Lens is a Seattle area based artist. He combines his love of life drawing, fantasy, and the male form to focus on erotic artwork. Using both digital and traditional mediums he creates sensual illustrations that reflect how he sees the world and the men in it.
Ling Song creates dark, surreal, and erotically charged portrayals of the female body—beautiful, unsettling, and anatomically precise. Deeply influenced by a childhood spent studying her grandparents’ medical books, her work fuses clinical realism with dreamlike distortion. Each piece is a dissection of femininity: tender yet brutal, sensual yet surgical. Through skin, sinew, and surreal form, she explores the tension between desire and decay, control and surrender. Her art invites you to look closer—beyond the erotic surface—into the raw, intimate architecture of the human body and psyche.
Jordan Hill always strives to make something he hasn’t seen before, playing a huge factor into the weird, bright, and sometimes ridiculous way his art looks. You’ll find yourself studying his pieces in-depth and getting lost in the world each piece creates. He loves bold colors and isn’t afraid to make them harmonize or clash. He insists on getting your attention at a glance and keeping it with the details. He is fascinated by consumerism, pop culture and the absurd. Most of his art is fueled by nostalgia, parody, playfulness and getting a laugh out of the viewer.
Tatyana Brown loves and lives art. Receiving an extensive art education she continues to learn new techniques in multiple media. During her life as an artist, printmaking has been and continues to be a major part of her artistic career. She loves working in black and white, because it gives so much character to the drawing always leaving room for imagination. Presently residing in Seattle, she shows her art nationally and internationally.
Oliver Hyde is a painter and poet living on the Olympic Peninsula, who has been working in watercolors and ink for over 30 years. He is inspired by science, magic, folklore, fairytales, deep spiritual transformation, Gothic Victorian imagery and his trans identity. His paintings are often inhabited by animal human hybrids, that represent our connection to all the other beings that surround us. He also uses these beings to represent transformation both physically and spiritually. The exhibiting series in particular is representing trans eros and its sacred nature.
As a figure artist, Dave Clay aims to create art that evokes an internal, interpretive emotional response – to make empathic connections, personal to the viewer’s own experiences. His figures exist in textured, atmospheric abstract spaces, disrupted by and intertwined with their environment. He invite viewers to bring their own interpretations to the paintings, to relate to the figure’s ambiguous state, and find empathy in the human condition.
Mazmodae Banburski-Fahey, known professionally as Feral Maz, is a visual artist and musician from Boston, MA. Their visceral, surrealist works are inspired by global folklore, biological processes and 19th century puppetry. Sculpture, puppetry and costuming integrate with Maz’s sonic compositions via live and video performances, resulting in disturbing immersive fantasies. Through weaving a darkly saturated auditory and visual tapestry, Maz invites viewers to explore difficult topics including trauma, sexuality, gender bias and mental health disorders.
