Dangit Veth! I'm at work...if there's a bunch of text on the screen, people think I'm working. Throw a nudie pic on the screen and all of a sudden I'm walking out the door with a bankers box in my arms! (well, they would if anyone around here paid any attention to me.)

I live in Hollywood, CA. Here, people who only have tripple D cups get turned down for Television work until they get an upgrade. I see much worse on the billboards here than the most tasteless pics in the Rendo gallery.

There is a big difference between CREATING ART and BEING ARTISTIC, in my opinion. Art is undefineable. Anything that expresses emotion or evokes emotion is art. Pornography is art. Blah, blah, blah...everything is art. Being artistic is synonimous with being clever. Puppet animator Jiri Trnka was 'being artistic' when he made a short film called 'The Hand.' If he would have made an open statement about the Communist government he lived in, he would have been put in prison or worse. Instead he wrote an alegory about a giant Hand that keeps pushing people down. That's 'being artistic.' Posing and rendering a naked Posette or Vicky is not 'being artistic' on its own. It's still art, yes, but not artistic...
