Pack it in. Get your hand off your paintbrush/dick and get a life where you can contribute something to the betterment of the human race, rather than hiding behind art as a means to promote your own personal brand of pornograghy.Quite lying to yourself and snap out of it.What a waste of talent.............

Over the years, many people have accused me of being depraved and dishonest, afraid to admit to the sexual element in my work and dishonest about the supposed sexual motivation of it. A few have looked down on me from high horses mounted by virtue of their own admissions of a similar 'depravity' - of loving sexy women - claimimg it takes guts to admit to being depraved, and that at least they are honest, at least they don't pretend to be moral!

According to this kind of thinking serial killers are the most courageous people on earth. After all, they honestly admit to being evil and 'courageously' explore how deeply depraved they can be.

Perhaps I am unusual. Depravity bores me. Instead of exploring it, I have chosen to explore something else, something much more fascinating to me: female beauty and sexuality.

My efforts have not been unrewarded. I have learned that contrary to the traditional view, female beauty and sexuality will not cause the downfall of mankind and the destruction of world. Rather, it is responsible for bringing each and every one of us into creation, since none of us would be here if our fathers had not found our mothers attractive.

I have learned it does not turn men into r4pіsts as we so often hear but into lovers and fathers. It does not turn women into whores. It makes them our mothers. It does not corrupt children; it comforts them.

In my estimation there is nothing more more wholesome and value-driven on all the earth than female beauty and sexuality. It is moral to the core.

I cannot admit otherwise because it is simply not true.

To do so would be depraved.

And dishonest.

Thus I do not have to hide behind art. I consider sex one of the glories of Man. It is not something that needs to be hidden. Moreover, if I did want to hide behind something it wouldn't be art. The only artist big enough to hide behind was Michelangelo and he painted nudes more 'artistically' than anyone before or since. How is his David different than the painting above?

To ask anyone to be ashamed of their love of female beauty and sexuality one must be truly sick, depraved and value-hating.

The vast majority of people are not this way. Most people are good, and they have a healthy love of female beauty and sexuality. But don't take my word for it. Compare the above email to the one below from someone with a less hateful view.

Ask yourself which of the authors seems like good person and which does not.

Only too obviously, those who love beauty are good people.

And those who hate it are evil.

I just wanted to let you know that i love your page i check it every day to see if you have updated it. I love your viewpoint on women (concitering i am a woman) Keep your page up!! it is great!
