Default Someone requested that I post photos of my models

along with some of my drawings. Sorry, I can't do that. I make most of my drawings from life of mostly professional models either in workshop situations where a group of artists get together to share model fees or of models who pose privately in my studio. Most artists' nude models don't like to be photographed while they are posing because they don't want unauthorized nude photos of themselves floating around the internet and because models who pose for photographs and sign model releases generally get paid a higher per-hour fee than models who pose for artists. My only drawings that are based on photos are the hardcore images like those i've labeled "Demon Lust" and "Tastings." These are based on supposedly amateur images I find online. I am a professional artist and I know the rules, so I alter details of the photos I use to make them my own and avoid problems like using unauthorized likenesses or violating copyrights. After going to the trouble of disguising my sources, it would be extremely counterproductive to reveal them here, so that's not going to happen. Sorry.
