Hello! I'm Neal Auch. I'm an artist, mostly interested in repurposing the philosophy and iconography of 17th-century Dutch still life for these dark times. My art has appeared in galleries and coffee table books; and my clients include Paramount+, Weirdpunk, Grindhouse, and others.

You know that thing where your partner gives all the sperms a name and then you feel really bad about eating them so you just order the veggie burger instead?

I made a 2nd account to drop uncensored NSFW art while I'm deciding what this project will be.

For now it'll mostly be me practicing lighting / posing with this weird mannequin thingy. But I will move onto human subjects pretty soon. Give it a follow if interested!

For all the thought I've given to Ionesco's Rhinoceros, I cannot believe I'm only just now realizing that the story is also constructed to be literally the exact opposite of the boy who cried wolf parable...

Wow, I don't think I'd realized how limited the social media options are for explicitly sexual content... Here is fine, apparently, but even Substack and Tumblr are somewhat limiting. I guess here and fetlife and reddit are the exceptions.

New email this Thursday! I'm gonna talk about Mailander. "God has died," he wrote, "and His death was the birth of the world."

It's weird little bug orgy season, apparently. I actually wrote a body horror story inspired by weird bug orgies a while back: Orange Frenzy l, published in issue 2 of Tenebrous Press' Skull and Laurel magazine.

"We are imperfect mortal beings, aware of that mortality even as we push it away, failed by our very complication, so wired that when we mourn our losses we also mourn, for better or for worse, ourselves. As we were. As we are no longer. As we will one day not be at all."
