Introducing the cast

I love the calligraphic-style marks you put in your images. These gestures add so much energy. Are you a calligrapher? Do you know how to write Chinese with a pointed brush?
It sounds ridiculous, but I was taught calligraphy in school when I was about 10/11 years old (quite some time ago), principally using ink and pens with broad, angled nibs, but also with quills! It was mandatory, I presume because a maniac was in charge of the syllabus. I found it beautiful and perhaps I have retained that memory, but no, I am afraid that mostly I rely on sheer luck.

I am happy that you feel they add to images.

I went to a school where Italic lettering was taught in 5th grade and all schoolwork had to be written with our green plastic dip pens with italic nib and bottled ink ink or else fountain pens with a blunt calligraphy nib. I hesitate to ask where you went to school. Was this in the U.S.? My school was headed by sadists, though I too loved calligraphy and went on to learn more styles as an adult and do it professionally for a time.

You are welcome to ask - in the UK.

You have jogged my memory, I can now remember green plastic pens, with felt nibs. I had a very nice fountain like you describe, I can see it now, black with a gold nib. I had various different colours of ink. I doubt they were for school so perhaps I was doing it at home!

I am never sure whether sadists are drawn to work in schools, or whether schools turn people into sadists. Perhaps both are true!

Ok, different schools. All I have to say to explain the school which was such a bad choice for me…it was affiliated with “The Church.” I wasn’t a victim, thank God, but let’s just say I didn’t thrive in an environment that in the 1970’s was still using corporal punishment. Nor did my social skills develop at this new school where the teachers, priests, and students all ate lunch together closed into a cafeteria….in SILENCE. That’s how you keep kids from asking each other if Fr. So and So did such and such to “a friend” of yours.

Ah yes, I understand, I know a number of people who were educated in such circumstances, by the RC church. My children are fortunate enough to be privately educated. There were two options, one school had both sexes together, the other kept them separate, indeed on different sites. Needless to say, the former option was chosen. There are many ways to ruin children.
 
Sue - “Valuations”

Having started an OnlyFans site, she was instantly surprised at what people thought they were entitled to for free. She told them she “placed a value on her work”. Sometimes they told her they thought she had a funny idea about what constituted work.

Sue - “Hall Pass”

Although she had never officially agreed it with her husband, it was only reasonable that she should have a hall-pass for anyone who was 3 inches or more bigger than he was. If he was really going to be difficult, she had a 50:50 chance of getting a female judge in the divorce proceedings, and once she saw the photos she would understand.

Sue - “Bruise”

Once, her throat had been so badly bruised, she lost her voice. It was a legitimate excuse not to explain where she had been all afternoon. Not only couldn’t she explain, she also, literally, couldn’t explain. Not orally anyway. The irony. This guy was fucking her like he had a serious grievance with her diaphragm. Her actual diaphragm, the one that contracted to expand her lungs. (For fuck’s sake - she knew his dick wasn’t really piercing her uterus and thumping against her diaphragm, it was just that it felt like it.)

Laura - “You okay?”

She gasped as he pushed inside her for the first time; but the second impact didn’t arrive. She opened her eyes, “you okay?”. The second impact was delivered and he assured her he had merely paused to make sure the moment was committed to his memory. It would have sounded rather corny, save for the third, fourth and fifth impacts, which hit her like asteroids. The fifth asteroid was what the movies call a “world killer”. Her world started to crumble.

Laura - “Discretion”

With hindsight, the vertical, opaque stripes that had been placed at intervals across the internal office window did not provide much in the way of privacy. When he fucked her from behind, her head had moved in and out of view quite amusingly. Not that it mattered much, the camera in the room that allowed wide screen video calls to be made was providing excellent live footage.

Molly - “Round Two”

This is a total re-working of a piece I attempted a while ago, but with which I was very disappointed. On the night that I am attempting to capture, there were five rounds. However, rounds 3-5 were reliant on medicinal assistance, but there is no viagra for art so this is my last attempt at this.

Claire - “The Kraken”
Two French martinis in The Ritz to start the night, then to The Savoy and a bottle of pink champagne with dinner followed by cocktails in the American Bar. Finally back to The Gore hotel to close the night with Kraken spiced rum, Diet Coke, and a twist of lime, then the old elevator up to the room. Claire insisted she would perform an erotic dance at the foot of the bed, but as she bent over provocatively, the Kraken tripped her over. I fucked her on the floor.

Sue - “Wanted”

Some of their wives protested that there must be another way. Their husbands assured them that there wasn’t. Sue was too dangerous, she needed to be put back in chains. They had a job to do. She had to go down, but they knew she wouldn’t give in. If she was going down, she was going down hard. They were ready. She was ready. Tonight, it was fuck or be fucked.

Claire - “ACL rehab”

Claire tore her ACL attempting a complicated karma sutra move, called ‘the twist and shout’, with an inexperienced partner who accidentally performed a WWE submission hold called a ‘figure-4 leg lock’. I was anxious to assist her recovery by helping with the physiotherapy exercises she was given to do at home. This was called a ‘rear mounted knee-flex’, which at her request I later combined with a UFC submission hold called a ‘rear naked choke’.

It was never that my art was restricted to nudes / erotica, it was that my ability to post those pieces was restricted.

Having somewhere I could interact with real artists, like Llehlla and others, to get their feedback, their advice and their encouragement, and where I could view and be inspired by their art, has been truly invaluable. Drawing people was hard for me, and doing it in a form that that someone might find interesting, or original, or stimulating, was beyond my reach.

Just one ‘like’ on something I had posted encouraged me to try again, to try a new medium, to try and get better. I did improve, I found confidence, I found a style, I realised I was leaning on that style too heavily it to hide my technical flaws and I learned to dial it down.

Without this thread, none of that learning would have happened.

The possibility of that experience being shared by others is what is being thrown away.
