Coming Soon....

Three years ago, I migrated my blog activity to Tumblr, and I liked a few things about it.
The layout looked swanky, and it seemed to garner good response. Lately though, activity has dropped off, and I found out why.
I make drawings of human bodies, They are not explicitly sexual, nor are they contextualized that way. Nevertheless, Tumblr started tagging my drawings as `sensitive' NSFW material. With their setup, when that is the case, the only way for a viewer to access my work is by setting up a Tumblr account and toggling off Tumblr's 'safe search' mode to allow for viewing `adult' content. Needless to say, that has not encouraged much casual viewership.
I get that there is a lot of explicit porn, and erotic imagery on a platform like Tumblr. But I do not believe that figurative imagery along the lines that I do - like work by Lucian Freud, Jenny Saville, Alice Neel or even Rembrandt - crosses the NSFW line. their detection algorithms seem too blunt an instrument, and appeal process too limited.

So, for ease of access, I'm moving back to Blogspot.

Three years ago, I decided that 10,000 images was a good `tombstone' mass of work to explore in here. Now, time to add some fresh stuff.

Thanks as always for coming in to visit.
