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.

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.
