For decades Heyd Fontenot has built a career as a versatile multimedia darling, leveraging his experiences as an independent film maker into a well received career as visual artist. In an age where everything is digital, Heyd is now making paintings featuring his friends naked, with big heads, in moppet-like exaggerated features.
Today we’re taking a look at sex in Heyd’s work and how we deal with the intense feelings and confused reactions to the nude body.
Listen to find out how we infuse sex into every thing we do, and how polyamory is the new sexual identity.

Fellow Austinite here. This was a really great show! Heyd you’re hilarious! I have to say that I agree with just letting yourself be whoever you are sexually and not getting hung up on preconceived ideals. You should definitely embrace your own funkiness
Best show in a while! I really enjoyed it.
Heyd rocks! He’s an old friend I cherish deeply.
What a fantastic and lovely interview and what a fantastic and lovely beard that man has!
great show – Heyd was so much fun to listen to!
