( THIS JUST IN.)
My attorney friend just personally called me. She urged me to remove my drawing
I had put here. It illustrated the works I used to publish.
This back when it was still a free country.
While "not per say illegal".
No genitals in view. She was concerned it might earn me attention.
So she seriously asked me to remove it. This was echoed later by an email from another old friend.
Oh Fuck This...
Anyway below is the original copy less the rear-view image of an
Ink drawing of a lad with wings.

As to publish or not. Well... As you recall that was part of my act.
This in the 1970's thru the turn of the century.
I used to publish small poetry books that, and small books of drawings I had done.
It was fun at the time.
However with the internet there's no market or really any desire for sweet little hand made books. Yeah I bound them by hand some in the Japanese fashion even hand tinted some of the art.
All gone, and forgotten now. I had thought to do one more book. However there are no more book shops, and no interest. Also now ambiguous legal restraints on certain sorts of Angels.
I will 'not' put it online,...what's the point. The whole idea is to hold it in your hand and see the light reflect off the tinted illustrations all that sweet jazz.
I really don't like the future that much.
I want to let you know that your attorney friend is full of shit!
ReplyDeleteAt the dark of the Moon your images should be projected by laser array onto the face of that celestial body for all the world to see, for example in Russia, Chechnya, Saudi Arabia and Iran. Let the censors put that into their crack pipe and smoke it!

Well my legal friend some old radio pals, and a family member were really afraid for me. I told them all my work was not illegal not even close.
ReplyDeleteIt might be possible I'd be questioned as I was in the 1990's. This for my very last little book.
I had two detectives show up at my front door behind that.
Nothing came of it because they had nothing. It was just a threat.
...fuck'em.
The thought police are such a bunch of busy little beavers, constantly sticking their over-inquisitive and filthy proboscii in places where they don't belong. Fuck, as you say, them.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, did you know that they have excrement in their heads? I mean that if you took a randomly selected assortment of them and surgically split open their craniums, you would find therein an assortment of caca ranging from fresh dog excrement to warm baby diarrhea.
To perform this examination it is of course necessary to extract the aforementioned noggins from a very dark place, for as a distinguished doctor of my acquaintance has often mentioned, these self-appointed moral crusaders all suffer from an incurable case of cranio-rectal embedment.

Z... you have diagnosed the problem of the moral police as accurately as I have ever read. My compliments!
ReplyDeleteDid I say "Fuck'em?"
ReplyDeleteIf I over looked the retort, "...Fuck'em."
Just for all this I've a mind to publish that last book that's been on my mind for some time. It will feature a certain Midshipman Pip, and companion.
Splendid idea! I can't wait to see it in print, and to be regaled with tales of bravery, adventure and naughty hijinks on the high seas.
