WHO THE FUCK IS EON McKAI ANYWAY?
For the record, prankster Eon McKai was not thrown out of art school as some recent rumors suggest. Yeah, he did get in a bit of trouble for broadcasting a private video (a scurvy professor who taped himself banging a photography student) on the university’s public access show, but for the most part the incident wound up as inspiration for one of the scenes in Art School Sluts. Eon may play up the bad boy image, but scholastically he was on the fast track from the word go; graduating high school early, and wrapping up both undergrad and post-grad in no time. But while he was happy getting a film degree, Eon was always more interested in g-spots than f-stops, so when confronted with the burden of paying back Uncle Sam for the loans, he turned to the subject he knew best…SMUT!

You see, Eon is part of the generation that doesn’t really remember life without their internet connection, and even though he probably should have been watching Conan O’Brian or reading a comic book before bed, the horny teenager surfed his way into that alluring world of slutty starlets. A few years later, when he could legally buy the stuff, Eon sought out the classics of adult cinema, and he was in rapture with the works of Alex de Renzy and Gregory Dark -- pioneers who became as important to him as Andy Warhol. “There was something really off the cuff about those films,” he insists, “something very punk about them.” Sure he appreciated the natural tits, laughed at the striped spandex, and dug the neon-colored sets, but Eon was fascinated by a spontaneity and immediacy that was totally lacking in the porn he was used to. “The sex was so much more free form back then,” he notes, complaining how, “everything is so formulaic and contrived now.” And don’t even get him started on the gonzo stuff, which doesn’t impress him at all. “99% crap,” he scoffs, explaining that, “just because they don’t have scripts and they’re fucking in someone’s backyard, doesn’t make it any more real. Those guys would never score those chicks at a club, and those chicks don’t look like anyone I wanna hang out with anyway.”

Which brings us back to those pesky loans. Looking for a means to make some dough the DIY guy did what he did best – surf the net. Eon got in on the ground floor on what appears to be a new movement of indie porn all happening on the web. Assessing that, “The only ground breaking things to happen in the last few years, were on the internet,” Eon simply refers to the Suicide Girls phenomenon, which has gone on to launch multimedia projects from a clothing line to a burlesque tour. A longtime friend of SG (one of their models, Alice, shoots behind-the-scenes footage for him, and another SG staffer was a P.A.) Eon fully understands the void they fill every time they sensually present a girl with intricate body art, provocative piercing, and lovely curves. He understands because this is his scene, and guess what? This scene is huge and ready to be catered to.

At least that’s how the 24-year-old young gun pitched to it VCA who bought it hook line and sinker. “There’s a ton of kids like me who listen to emo, punk-rock, goth, electro, or drum and bass (and so on), and there’s no smut for us,” he laments, adding, “mainstream porn is looking more tired and out of touch by the day. We’re listening to Postal Service and Peaches, and our porn still looks like Stevie fuckin’ Nicks!” Art School Sluts makes it a point to be “from the scene for the scene.” Going way past having SG friends on set, Eon invited his pals from the clubs to come and be extras (with speaking parts, no less), and if that wasn’t enough, the leads are girls you could catch dancing (no, not on a pole) around town on any night of the week. Combine that with fashions from Spectr (the crew behind dnb clothes, Drumz), a community based website, and the latest electronic music soundtrack, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for neu-erotica. With ART SCHOOL SLUTS, Eon McKai will prove that he’s more than just the “Joe Camel of Porn,” he’s a bona fide smut peddler for the Millennial Generation.
