the dream of the fisherman's wife

i was going to post some contemporary erotic tentacle art, but thought i had to post this first, as first things must come(..) first.


i bet a lot of you have already seen this - after all, it's not a new work of art. it was made around 1820 by the japanese artist katsushika hokusai - see even back then, all the cool stuff came from japan. it is possibly the first instance of tentacle porn, and it started a trend - the theme has been reworked by artists ever since.

see my post "octopussy by rune olsen" for a recent take on this theme.

fantasy art by keith thompson

i have a soft spot for fantasy artists like keith thompson, it's like he's a modern day fairy tale illustrator. nowadays, fairy tales are mostly for kids, but it wasn't always like that, and it doesn't have to be that way. fantasy art and illustration has this stigma about it; as if it isn't real, serious, high art, but the domain of nerds. as we all know, being a nerd is being intelligent, dedicated and good at something - like keith thompson - i don't understand how that can be a stigma.

you might want to click on some of the more intricate pictures to get all the details, as the pictures are massive, but blogger resizes them to the point where some of the amazingness is lost.









for more of keith thompson's work, check out his website: www.keiththompsonart.com

wikipedia has a section about fantasy art where they also mention the silly division between fantasy art and high culture: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantasy_art

kazuv's drawings of pregnant girls

i sometimes like to look through deviantart, as there's so much cool and strange art there.

i never really remember much of what i see though, it's all new to me, even if i've seen it before. except this one guy called kazuv who makes stuff that keeps coming up in my deviantart searches again and again. i guess it's because of our common interest in aliens. beyond that, we don't have much in common. that is why i remember his work; i just find it SO WONDERFULLY WEIRD!!

he's done a gigantic amount of drawings, and they're all of the same; pregnant girls!

i suspect it is a sexual thing. i think that sort of dedication can only be driven by sexual fixations, but i might be wrong.

i've heard of men before who has pregnancy fetishes, and somehow it should be one of the most normal fetishes to have as pregnancy has everything to do with sex. after all, it is the result of sex, and the intention of sex. i've just never personally intended to get pregnant, so for me, pregnancy is just some seperate weird thing that some people choose to do. it's like i forget pregnancy even has something to do with sex - and more importantly, that sex has something to do with pregnancy.






this one is titled "anything you want for $ 20":
oh and that reminds me i must must get a leopard print dress/jacket/whatever, it's so wonderfully trashy!


this one is titled "sane girls are overrated". haha i totally agree.

i asked kazuv if he could draw me as one of his pregnant characters, but he never returned my email. what a shame. i could draw it myself but it wouldn't be as fun.

check out kazuv's deviantart profile for more pregnant babes.

happy new year everyone!! i have my champagne ready, and hope you do too! 2009 is going to be a kick ass wonderful year!!!!

the nature pictures

I like mixing fake stuff with real stuff to see what happens. Do I get an utopian fantasy reality or do I highlight the shortcomings of reality - or do I enhance the feeling of unreality about real life?? I don't know. It seems to me that the Norwegian photographer Una Hunderi is playing with the same ideas in her photos called "the nature pictures".



Mmhh I'd go for the utopian fantasy reality, but then again, I'm soft hearted and naive, I want to believe ;)

dreamy illustrations by Aya Kato

Manga+art nouveau. you've probably already guessed that she's Japanese. So much cool stuff is coming from Japan!







I sort of feel like I should say something Christmasy but I can't come to think of much. I hope you all ate tons of food, got drunk and avoided drama. Oh and I hope you didn't get any Christmas ornaments for Christmas.

poll closed

so the poll is closed, and i'm shocked at the result;

64 % said they believed in aliens
10 % said they didn't
and 28 % said they were aliens.

i think someone must be joking with me, and this is the time to come forward and admit to this joke. leave a confession in a comment. i refuse to believe that 10 %, (THREE of my blog readers), do not believe in aliens.


the universe is infinitely vast, and nature is a repetetive pattern, like a massive fractal. it just wouldn't make sense to think we're alone. also it would be less fun and it would ruin my daydreams of being picked up in a ufo and taken to my home planet for a tour i'd never forget. i bet i'd forget to take my digital camera if that ever happened (see, i'm already thinking about what to bring).

on the upside, i'm so grateful to have 8 actual aliens reading my blog! although i voted from three different computers saying i was an alien (i AM!), so i guess in reality, there's only 5. i think that's pretty good though, and i bet some of my alien readers didn't even bother to vote, so maybe there's more?
