Got an idea for you to ponder. I know you're all very busy and it doesn't matter if this takes a year or so. Been pondering a new art project. As you know, I'm back into my cross-hatching at the mo and want to do something with less clutter. Ideally, I want to produce atmospheric black n' white drawings of nudes of all shapes and sizes with animal heads or wearing masks (animal, plain, eye-masks, carnival masks, novelty, weird, handmade, etc, etc.), possibly reflecting the model's personality, but possibly the exact opposite. What I'm looking for are photos of people (over 18 of course), male or female, of ANY size/shape, but they MUST be completely nude, standing, full-figures, facing forward/head-on, with legs fairly close together, with hands down by their sides. No frills, no accessories, no porn, no erections, etc. Group shots/pairs are welcome as long as they aren't touching. Anything from quick snapshots, mobile shots, digital or otherwise but must be clear... just plain old standing nudes. Almost impossible to get the right pose with stock photos and I'd rather original pics anyways. If the original pics are anonymous/headless/masked that's great but I can always superimpose animal heads, masks etc. on those that aren't so shy (unmasked models welcome). It doesn't matter who takes the pic but obviously permission needed on all submissions from photographer and model, therefore randomly found pics will not suffice. One of the reasons I'm asking in various messages/media is that when I set up a page for reference pics of sub-cultures/skins/punks etc, it didn't really take off, so I abandoned it... ho-hum. Please feel free to pass a version of this message on to creative types, photographers, artists, models, friends, contacts and blogs. ALL submitted photographs will remain COMPLETELY confidential ... but the anonymous drawings/paintings might see the light of day, possibly exhibited and sold. Any overtly dodgy pics will be reported. Any questions, please message me privately or use the email address below. The email address purely for this project is referencerich@gmail.com Cheers, Rich Hello artists/creative types. Got an idea for you to ponder.

It is not an erotic setting / enviroment however I am 37 and in pretty good shape and somewhat of a voyeur myself. In posing for approximately 12 sessions already there has never been an awkward or inappropriate moment. I've neither hit on a student nro been hit on by one. Not that should the opportunity arise I would shy away from it. TO be attracted to the opposite sex is God ordained and normal. Pornography is a whole different matter entirely...

I'm guessing a day out at the beach isn't about swimming and fun but "all about sex", right? Ah, the critic as saint. “the artist as saint”

Are you saying there is not a modern or historical depiction of the naked female form that wasn't about the sexual gratification of the viewer or artist? I suppose all humans are born clothed as well. So do tell me what happens in these art classes...lecherous students and professors coerce shy female students (or maybe their heinous sluts) into posing naked under the guise of honing their skills? How deviant. What wolves. Seems like a long way to go for a rodeo, buddy. Why such ignorance, edo?

I think this would be a helpful resource for anyone interested in posing nude for an art class, especially if they have never attended such a class as an art student.
