Hardcover 2 - Collective

About #hardcover2

And here we go again! #hardcover is back with a second volume. It is again full of artwork from a stellar lineup of professionals, drawing up a diverse collection of artworks which has one thing in common — the topic of erotic explicit art.

More than 130 illustrators from around the world participated in this new project, including Kim Jung Gi, Ashley Wood, James Martin, Andrew Mar, Daniela Uhlig, Pauline Voss, Bastien Lecouffe Deharme, Nikolay Georgiev, Even Mehl Amundsen, George Pratt, and many others. We wanted them to be free to create any content without boundaries, so the book contains expressions of all sexualities — and we wouldn't want it any other way. 

#hardcover2 was a huge success on Kickstarter (€212,452 raised). Find out more about the campaign by clicking here.

The book comes with a red glossy hardcover and has 184 pages of content.

About the #hardcover collection

The aggressive rejection of any nude artwork (and specifically the female nipples) on social media has influenced creators to the extent that many artists now avoid working with nudity altogether. Posted uncensored, their work has led to blocked profiles, deleted images, and platform bans, creating an industry stigma around the subject that artists are now cautioned to avoid. #hardcover is taking a stand — publishing explicit artwork created by established professionals who believe in the freedom to explore our sexuality and humanity through art.

#hardcover is a project we haven't heard the last of!
