Or classic: 'Thighlock'. Anyway, this is an illustration submitted by an artist in a competition for who would do the pictures for my next illustrated novel. I didn't hire this one. I think it was RAM instead.
Yes. I recall now that the artist was a woman. She did a small number of illustrations for me which I paid for, but her talent and style wasn't that of RAM. I chose RAM for the project. I will post the remainder of her works shortly. She was good, but RAM was something else. Drew.
Thanks. RAM is by far the better artist- but this woman has a special something. Looking forward to the rest. (I'll be away for 2-3 weeks so won't be commenting )
Funny you should mention that. I've met with Angelo Sotira, the owner of Deviant Art and a really great guy, several times and the latest was at his Echo Park Lake get-together last month here in L.A. One of the things we discussed was how arbitrary his censors are in yanking renderings without any form of appeal process. I showed him their standard reply which was FAQ 565 'Submission Of Pornography Imagery'. I also showed him examples of if anyone even dares question the censor he/she will yank even more renderings in retaliation, though they are clearly not porno by any stretch of the imagination. Needless to say, he's a very busy man and at present we are still in the back and forth e-mail stage of getting this problem rectified. What you see before you is art, in fact pretty good, even humorous art, and by any U.S. Court standard, not pornography. However, DA is Angelo's baby and as far as I’m concerned he has the right to set the standards, and I'm not about to get legal with him on this or cause him any other grief. Except to make known to him that his censorship procedures are flawed, or worse his censors are flawed. Arrogance comes to mind here. We'll see how all this shakes out. 'Nuff said. Drew
