Explicit photos of underage High School students....er not really, not at all.

The Parents TV Council thinks GQ's no nudity photos of 20something actors from  the TV show Glee, borders on pedophilia. I think PTC President Tim Winter's chastity belt is on too tight.

'borders on pedophilia'...really?  None of the people in the photos are showing genitalia,, or anything you wouldn't see on a public beach, and none of the people are close to being under age.  

I must say...it's in the mind of the beholder.  If the first thing that comes to your mind is pedophilia then you need to do something about your obsessive thoughts.

on the drawing board: holiday cheer

Even though the big day is still a couple months away, many of us are already thinking about ideas for presents and giving gifts, especially that crew up at the North Pole.  My holiday piece this year peeks in on those elves and what they're working on.

on the drawing board: elf motivation

I've noticed that my Christmas/Holiday pieces seem to rotate from romantic to more playful year to year.  This year continues that trend as my pendulum swings toward a more fun themed piece.

New Release: "All the Best Parts"

He had gone to medical school not only to learn, but also with the hope of meeting the perfect man. But while he seldom spent an evening alone, no one ever lived up to his ideals. Oliver had great abs but a flat butt. Karl had incredible legs but not the cutest face. Anthony had the most interesting mind but was a bore in the bedroom. Ever the perfectionist, Victor was not about to settle. Instead he would use his talents to create his dream man, using all the best parts.

I always look forward to doing my Halloween piece. It's a chance to switch things up a bit and explore different styles and themes. While I didn't go too extreme (so not my thing), All the Best Parts is definitely my most gory work to date.

The Original as well as limited edition Gallery and Studio prints are available for purchase at the Special First Day Price through Midnight ET tomorrow.

Excerpt from "Dirty Laundry"
Short story by Veronica

And there he stood. Nothing on but a gray tank top.

"No underwear?" My voice was meek. I couldn't help but notice.

"You took it all." He folded his arms.

I was embarrassed. Embarrassed that he realized I had taken all his underwear. Embarrassed that I had been such an ass. Embarrassed that he was standing there in only a tank top.

He wasn't embarrassed, even as the comforter guy came back in to get the rest of his blankets.

I looked at the laundry basket, still stuffed with my clothes and his underwear. I tried not to look at him. I tried not to stare. I glanced all around us. The sun was starting its descent in the evening sky. I put my hand onto the basket, into the remainder of dirty clothes for something to hand him. Just something he could cover up with.

He wasn't speaking. Or budging. And he certainly wasn't smiling. He was staring. Just staring. At me.
