Things aren't perfect yet...

...but they're getting there.

There's still some coding to do, and some replacements I will have to make to some of my buttons.

Also, I'm going to re-arrange some of the items in the navigation sidebar to make the site flow a bit better.

I also have a new piece, as you can see below, and am currently working on a new series for Kansai Scene.

Enjoy!

The Fine Art of Being Grotesque [Kansai Scene] (2008)



Kansai Scene, Issue 101, October 2008. This illustration is for a story on the Japanese style of Ero-Guro (Erotic Grotesque), entitled "The Fine Art of Being Grotesque". This image is based on the story of Rashomon. Throughout the many versions of the story told, an overall theme of committing to an action that these characters would rather not do sprung to mind. The perverse pleasure that they each take in this unwanted situation is represented in their hands, which connect all three characters, while the horror of what they are truly doing spills out onto their faces.
