The Unicorn Orgy...as I sculpted unicorns, one by one, things went their own way--the ghost orgy turned into a playful group of varied mythical creatures, nothing like the dream. Still, it started with unicorns. Most things do. (NSFW)

It's good work. I even emailed the guy & told him so. He's really got it together.

This is freakin' me out.

Not quite as much as Simon "Skunky" Morrison, but still.

Yikes.

Saw this a few days ago and thought about posting it, but only put it on my own blog instead. The weirdness value of this is through the roof. I wonder if he's commissionable.

Oh, well, I guess a virgin goddess can join an orgy if she wants to... she's only putting her own fingers in, and Clinton showed us that mouths, fingers, vibrators, cigars, and presidential aides don't count.

Later...

And that's the point. It's not satanic, defiant, or against those book-religion values, but completely off in a different direction, at right angles to the book-religions. The unicorn orgy's holy book is the book of life and love.

And the clincher...

I mean, Pete Townshend's not emperor, you don't HAVE to Face the Face.

absalom, what type of commission? in his catalog link he's got a lot of business stuff.

. . . and as most things do, it will end with a girlfriend, a steamer trunk, and a closet. :oP

Call me a stereotyper, but I don't think things are likely to end with a girlfriend, for this guy.

Well, maybe a clay one.

There was green alligators and long-necked geese,
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees.
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born,
The loveliest of all was the unicorn.

Thanks for the new desktop, srboisvert!

His artwork, on the other hand, shows imagination but little skill.

My friend recently returned from India with amazing photographs from some of the old temples there. Walls literally covered with pornographic carvings of every kind. The ones closest to the ground were generally poor people, sometimes animals, etc, while the carvings near the tops of the walls showed religious acetics in some of the most fascinating and improbable poses I've ever seen.

The point is, this guy has nothing on whomever carved that temple.

I shudder - literally shudder - to think how many wank breaks he must have taken during the creation of this, uh, masturpiece.

CP: gasp! wait, attribution. And as far as the lack of skill, hmmm. According to some of his comments, he seems to be attempting technical improvements...He doesn't seem to be calling it finished.

But i think his visual skill is actually very good. Well above average. The expressions in the eyes, the faithfulness to form and body language (even the 'neck' manages to keep a realism to it).

An afterthought: Just being able to be compared to any old masters is quite an achievement. He may be far afield (or not), but he's in the ballpark...Somewhere.
