joe randel's art dump

So the other day I got to wondering, how far back does erotic art go?  Which artists in history produced erotic artworks.  I’m sure that this sort of stuff goes back a long way.  I mean, before you could get porn on just about every device out there, if you had a hankering for erotic pictures… someone had to draw them.  Until someone invented the photograph that is.  I wonder how erotic works where viewed way back when.  What was considered a tasteful nude and what was just plain ol’ smut.  What was smut called back then?

I’m going to look in to these erotic artists during history.  I want to know more about them and I’m going to share my findings here.  Once a month (starting in Feb) I’ll be making a post showcasing an artist and some of their works.  I’m very much looking forward to this to be honest.  I think it’ll be fun to learn about this naughty passion that I have and see where it’s been though out history.

Just a quick post to let people know that things are going to get a little odd around here as I try and update my blog theme.  If anyone see’s any issues, just let me know and I’ll see what I can do to fix it.

Guh… one of my kids is sick… again.  One thing you learn about kids is that they are the most unhygienic things on the planet.  It’s kinda gross.  No,check that.  It is gross.  Now that my son is sick it’s only a matter of time before everyone else gets it too.  Before I had kids, I hardly ever got sick.  Maybe once a year if I was lucky.  Now… forget it.  Guh… not looking forward to this.  Sick kids are also a jillion times more miserable and whinny when they aren’t feeling well.

How often do you get sick?

When I do commissions for people I usually give them a collection of rough poses to pick from.  One is the winner, the others are left behind.  Sometimes I’ll reused those poses for others commissions if I feel they can be made in to a strong image.  Those that don’t make the cut are forgotten.  Until now!  Here is a gathering of unpicked poses from commissions that I’ve done.  See any you like?  I hope those out there enjoy them as I do, because I love to see the rough works of the artists I follow.

If there’s one thing I love, it’s good smutty picture.  If there’s a second thing I love, it’s games.  It’s a well know fact that I love video games (heck, I made them my career), but it’s actually far bigger then that.  I love games of all kinds, except organized sports… guh.  Ever since I was a kid I’ve had a love of card and board games.  Favorite ones from my youth are Clue, Pac-Man and Fireball Island.  Especially Fireball Island.  The one that I had as  child was ether sold or destroyed in a basement flood (so if anyone has one that they want to get rid of… *wink*).  I also remember wanting to play a game called Scotland Yard.  I only ever tried it once at a friends house.  I seem to remember liking it, but I can’t remember.  I wonder if you can buy it now a days.

As of the fast few year, the board game of choice is Scrabble.  I play with Wife, and my Bother-in-Law and his wife.  It’s tons of fun and we can get quite vulgar plying it too, which is okay because we only play after the kids go to bed.  And after a few years of playing, I think we’re all quite awesome at it too.  I’m sure I could beat all your asses.  That’s right… I said it.  Actually, the trick is to try and make your words across the double and triple letter/word squares.

I’ve even got the kids hooked on to board games too.  We play Uno Moo, Cars Monopoly, Pengoloo and the Pac-Man game I had when I was a kid.  Yup, I still have that original game.

Do you love board games?  What ones are your favorites?

Here’s Jersey in her final painted form.  I can’t tell you how pleased I am with this one.  Now, on to the second part of the 2 4 1 commission.
