Well I nearly had a heart attack today.
I have been nearly a month into my work and presentations and I receive the worst possible correspondence from those that believe they have a say in what is contextually appropriate and not appropriate for self-publication.

It all began with my desire to give #Futari a place in the line up of ink compositions  under the premise, that because it has not been done before it should bring an audience. Yeah right, normally when something has not been done before, it is because their is a hidden majority that waits in the shadows to suggest, a person is breaking their invisible rules.
 I have been made to mar my present collection of showcases to appease this silent majority of viewers and still it is considered too explicit for support from the franchise.
 Once it was suggested that I draw bad on purpose and the patron wanted to know why. The truth, because when I draw well, when I give my heart into an idea, I must be careful as to who reads it and who has access to it.

 One slip of judgement leaves me to have to explain my decision making abilities and why I deem my works not to be "pornographic," or any more "pornographic," than the next creator of erotic and adult content. When I consider the fact that I did label the product as mature, intended for a mature audience, and I am expecting to pull a crowd of interested buyers into my own personal thoughts of the erotic and adult arena, opposed to what they are already accustomed to, I become somewhat livid at the limitations placed on an artists product.
 Short of completely erasing the image and leaving a phantom of a thought upon the canvas, there is nothing left.

That is the intention is it not? To completely erase from the spectrum an ideal of a world that exists outside of what you are comfortable with seeing. If so, shame on you.
Shame on you or suggesting that you are here to give access for artists to showcase their work, ask them for money to do so, and then ask them to completely deface their products if it happens to rub you the wrong way. I suppose what really bothers me, is the idea that I am not in a position to argue. Though I may have cause, I do not have enough of a support system to back my claim that some ideas of smut, pornography, and the eradication of erotic art is discriminatory, abusive, and slanted.
There are too many that would suggest, because I showed a woman's ass, it is pornographic. Put some clothes on her and it would be better. Really. That is where we are. Victorian Era expectations of art. Well then, looks like I am going to have dig real deep and find some more Noir, to showcase. I am going to rid you of your desire to deny the artist of any caliber a place of serenity, due to your closeted and selfish views of what is appropriate.
