i’m working on a new version of my sado-masochist world print, which i’ve done and redone many many times over the last 3 years. it looks like it’s going to be an improvement on the previous versions, so i’m happy about that.

it represents mother nature whipping the earth while the people ask for more. we don’t like the pain, but we also don’t like the effort needed in order to avoid it.
also, i recently joined society6
it hasn’t changed that much since i last posted it but this is the cleaned-up version…


this guy has the snowman with clown-nose look. which i was thinking the other day that my inspiration probably came from growing up in a cold climate. the clownish part i think comes from the fact that i think men have a very clownish side to them. no offense, it’s kind of a compliment. i think humor is a survival skill for men among other male mates, also as a way of getting women and keeping them around. and who doesn’t like to have a laugh? humor can be used for all kinds of purpose, not always good ones, but good ones too.
i have to admit that sometimes i find that some men put humor higher on the priority list to other things like respect. i also think that women (in general) don’t have a sense of humor as developed as men, but then they have other senses more fully developed. anyway men are becoming more like women and vice-versa. i’m well aware there are plenty of exceptions, but i think often there is at least “some truth” to prejudices. ouch, i hope that didn’t hurt too much. but prejudices are when we make a big deal out of things we shouldn’t. if something is encouraged by a certain culture it will naturally become more common. nothing to freak out about.

i came up with this this morning. for now i’m calling it “can i keep it”. she’s holding the sun, a metaphor for happiness, but life might not let her get away with being happy.

this is inspired by the female’s constant need for male attention. a lot of them seem to desperately need it and think it will make them happy. i think many confuse love with attention which are completely different phenomenons. you also don’t get the former by getting the latter.
what i find interesting is that it will make the prettiest girl’s attitude ugly when her desperate need for attention is fulfilled.
