I feel it's more than a 'want'. I feel it's increasingly more necessary in a world that is losing its humanity in an exponential way.

I don't, and never will, apologize for sharing and celebrating the human body. It is our one vessel that we have to our full selves, and a society that demonizes it, demonizes our humanity itself.

(And no child is identifiable in my drawings outside of anyone that immediately knows that it is them), I have to assume that they have dark ideas on their hearts... Or, at the very best, a past that was harmful to them that they haven't been able to deal with positively.

Since then, I've basically seen every wild attempt at accusing people of things that aren't OBVIOUSLY happening as being someone that either is, or wishes they were, doing exactly that thing. So when a person yells at me for posting innocent, harmless child nudity...

He claimed no man takes a bath alone unless they want to masturbate. I had done no such thing or had the thought even entered my mind. That's when I realized that the person accusing me was almost certainly using baths for that purpose themselves, or had been indoctrinated to that thought.

Outside of intentional bullying. Which posting images of artwork is NOT.
I actually remember the exact day I figured out that most accusations were projections and/or confessions. The day I took a bath in my 20s and a roommate tried to make fun of me for it.

While these reactions are all valid TO THE INDIVIDUAL, it is not up to the artist or society or authority to intervene in their reactions as long as nobody is being actually harmed... And I not talking about feelings or sensibilities here. Your hurt feelings are yours to deal with...

May react negatively to the left image far more than the right due to social conditioning or a reaction to an attraction they don't understand. Or, they may react negatively to the right image due to upbringing or sexual trauma. Or, they may be projecting their inappropriate desire(s) onto the image

This is primarily due to a few factors:
1. Social conditioning.
2. Projection
3. Inappropriate/undesirable attraction
It can be one or a mix of all three, but almost all negative reactions to the nude human form of ANY age or type falls into these categories. For example, a heterosexual male...

A fight against an unfair, unrealistic and problematic societal moral failing.

Tell me how this image, which is a study of an extremely famous piece that hangs in museums and galleries and people's walls in their homes... Is ANY different than anything I draw of modern family nudism? Sure, it has religious symbolism, but I have contemporary symbolism.

Thank you!
