Lava lamp
This artwork is entitled Lava Lamp, and is by the artist Liol (Brittany Jackson). The artist writes “Another cover art for Crossed Genres. One of my favorite ones I did so far mainly because it’s easier for me to draw women than dudes. Done sometime during the fall of 2010. Basically this concept involves a sci-fi lava lamp with fairy-like creatures that bend the wax to their liking.” The art appeared on the cover of the anthology Crossed Genres Year Two.

Vacuum
These are two different sizes of an animated .gif that is to be found all over the internet, featuring several frames of video of a girl having her shirt ripped off by a vacuum cleaner hose to reveal her bare breasts. According to this forum thread, the video originally comes from a Ukrainian humor television show called Naked And Funny. (The image link in that thread has died, making it hard to determine which .gif is being attributed in the thread, but this Google search snippet makes it clear that the thread is about the animation in question and not about some other one of a similar nature.) There exist many web clips from that show that are very much in the same style as the animated .gif, lending credence to the attribution. The animated Cyrillic characters visible in select frames of the larger .gif example above may add additional credence.

Machine Girl Malfunction!
This is an artwork by Paul Birch, who does business as The Finsbury Park Deltics even though, as he puts it, “There’s just me here at tFPDs, even though it sounds like some sort of beatnik / baseball collective.” This artwork is called Machine Girl Malfunction! according to this interview, where Birch says it took weeks to complete. A former TFPD page about the artwork (now 404, and not found in the Internet Archive) is currently still visible in Google’s cache, and it describes the art as:
Ink on paper, 33″ x 23″. A poster-sized picture of a lovestruck android woman, as seen on a comic-book cover. Of course. A tad self-indulgent, as I got an awful lot of pleasure out of drawing it over an awfully long period of time. A therapeutic process. I recommend it.

Vintage crucifixion
This early vintage black-and-white photograph of a partially-draped nude tied to a cross is very much in the style of the early French erotic “salon” photographs. The text “37.a.” can be faintly seen in the lower right of the image. This smaller reproduction from a Tumblr post looks like a scan from an unknown publication in which the photo is dated 1885. On Etsy, there’s currently for sale a modern reproduction of a vintage French postcard featuring a cropped version of this image with lovely hand tinting. Unfortunately, no specific information about the photographer or studio could be discovered.

A market?
This image is a still from an early 1970s Color Climax 8mm porn loop called Slave Market. (CC Film No. 1403 Slave Market, 100M/340FT. Color De Luxe) The movie was advertised on the back of the film box thusly:
‘Many strange things happen in Copenhagen’s porno underworld. If you’ve got the dough, there is no limit to your experiences: You can even take part in a sale of slave-girls and sex servants. For a couple of hundred you can buy girls in a somewhat unusual brothel and be sure they will obey you absolutely. Just like cattle the girls are paraded on the stage, tied up with strings and secured with leather collars, ready for the auction…”
A gallery here contains a few more stills and shows the box cover from the videotape era, when the movie was marketed as Slave Market: Color Climax Video 294. About 20 thumbnails of scenes within the movie can be seen here. A forum thread here offers several more larger-sized stills of the slave auction scene.

More Terror Tales
As is evident from the image, this is the cover of a Terror Tales magazine, with the following text visible on the cover: “Terror Tales. Brides for the Damned, a pulse-speeding mystery terror novel by Wayne Rogers. Blassingame – Quinliven – Cummings – Dale Clark.” According to this page it is Volume 6, #4: the September-October issue from 1936. The Internet Science Fiction Database says of this issue that the cover artist was John Howitt, which is consistent with the “H” artist signature visible lower right. A replica of this issue is commercially available.
