Hmm, glad I didn't get tired of seeing naked women at 30. I'm intrigued by the comment about the "Poser gallery culture." I'm not exactly sure what that means. As for things changing when the culture changes, I suspect that 100 years from now it will be much the same. As long as most people wear clothes most of the time, and as long as the human libido remains the same, there will be a fascination with the unclothed form. This is especially true in a culture where so much of human sexuality still has an air of taboo. I've read various comments about adolescents viewers being the cause of so much rampant nudity. I don't buy it. Any adolescent who knows how to use the internet can find plenty of real nudity and a lot more sex than they'll find here, why bother with Vicky. I think counting hits is as poor a method for judging your artistic success as counting money is for judging money is for jusding how successful you are in life. According to a news magazine a while back, the world's best selling artist grinds out pictures of cottages, endless variations on them. When has "great art" ever appealed to the masses? Everyone wants to be noticed, admired and appreciated, but I wish people would get over this hang-up of 'nobody looks at my pictures because I don't do naked Vicky.' Forget it already. Lamenting adolescents, phillistines and the decadent culture accomplishes nothing. If you are fulfilled by what you create and you are a true artist, then by definition that is enough. If you want fame and acclaim then start producing what the viewers want to see and resolve to do it better than anyone else.
