Whatever’s on my mind really.

A peek at illustration inspiring celebrity sexiness, quirky news stories from inherently pornified pop culture, tips, sketchbook and work in progress, reviews and other things of interest; whatever’s on my mind really—which more fool you if you ever take that seriously.

Latest Picks is a sort of mini-blog for daily thoughts and picks. Longer articles, stories & sketches are found in the full-size blog, where indeed Latest Picks are moved when updates to a story make it too large.

Note: Both Latest Picks and Blog are to be retired at the end of September, although both will remain available indefinitely as an archived part of the site. No further updates to past stories will be made.

Playboy brings nudity back to the magazine after a year-long ban on naked pictorials (etonline.com).

Playboy March/April 2017 issue cover
Playboy March/April 2017 issue cover; going for that MetArt vibe?

Hmmm. Did the internet coyote regurgitate the plastic and Photoshop or, as was it the headline grabbing oppo that only lasted only double the 6-months a sizeable majority voted for in poll (Pick of the Month 31st Oct. 2015).

“The move was announced by Chief Creative Officer Cooper Hefner on Monday. ‘I'll be the first to admit that the way in which the magazine portrayed nudity was dated, but removing it entirely was a mistake,’ Hefner tweeted.”

But perhaps not as much of a mistake as not realising there really isn’t a market for the soft plastic porn it provides any longer when every kind of hardcore and fetish is available on the internet, often for free—not necessarily abiding copyright—and often with social share and interaction to boot.

Plus, I hear what used to be called the “readers wives” amateur sections of such—well, all but PB—have pretty much taken over, the “girls next door” featured now being on social media and possible looking for insta-dating, or a least open to sending a few nudie selfies.

But what about those articles? Yeah, as in the intro to the Latest Picks weekly This is No Cave round-up of “serious issues” I’m berated about by some for not covering, they are often ignored there too.

Seriously, isn’t Playboy merely Bunny-branding now, more likely to shift wallets, purses, lighters, keyrings and exercising stripper poles?
