I don’t really want to involve myself in this thread so I’ll make it short and sweet. Tanya, please stay, I really enjoy your art. Eric, you are very skilled digital artist. Artists have always painted sexualised images of women, but we are now in a new digital age, and new phrases have entered our vocabulary such as ‘body shaming’, ‘social media influencer’ and ‘deep fake’. I believe we all need to use our integrity when we contribute to this constant stream of material and consider the potential harm it can do, especially to the younger generation. Thank you, POL for your unbiased approach to the problem.

Please stay Tanja. I stopped viewing the gallery for the very reasons you state. Unfortunately it's not possible to add a new category. I removed much of my earlier scribbles as there became a preponderance of that type of work at the time, and I didn't want my work to share the same space. If I have a bash at oils with an acrylic gesso base I don't consider putting it into both categories, to do so would be spamming I will continue to avoid the gallery. But I sense a mood of baiting over the last weeks.To ignore baiting is to frustrate it.I removed my reply to Norrette as I think I misinterpreted what she meant by avoiding the gallery. Unfortunately you can't seem to just delete.

Tanja, stay with us. Your paintings have given many of us a lot of pleasure. You have brought something different to the forum and gallery.
The images in the gallery are only thumbprint size, if any of us don't like what we see, don't open the larger picture, just pass it by.
There are so many wonderful works of art in there, DO NOT cut off your nose to spite your face, as the saying goes.
On the internet there are hundreds of Anime drawings and paintings some of these are eye wateringly erotic, the youngster not only have access to these
they spend hours copying them, to hone their art skills. So why as adults do we take offense at particular images within the gallery.
Please have a look at the Anime images, and then say there's a problem, here.
Leaving solves nothing, I've done it.
