he!  yeah, it's interesting. one of my favorite artists here left abruptly and deleted his gallery.  once he vanished, i suspected it was due to child nudity issues, since he had been in the middle of series dealing with the souls of babies.  mind you, i thought about this after he left, but not before.  his work was all based on Renaissance art, and classically nude minors haven't registered since my parents first took me to the Met in NYC when i was 4 or 5.  i think it's interesting that sites like this feel comfortable with mods making all sorts of  qualitative judgments about artwork (like determining the age of a figure with an adult default), but not about child nudity.  i mean, i understand legally and all that, and i'm sympathetic to the role moderators need to take, but there's a certain irony to the fact that people are touting the Web as a tool for free expression while, in general, online gallery rules are far more restrictive than a brick and mortar rules, where groups of school children tour daily.
