Done -for a while at least- with sex toys. And don't get me wrong, I swear I have never even touched a single such object. Whenever I pass a sex shop window it is with an averted head. You can imagine the fun I had researching on Google images. I was absolutely intrigued with nose dildo's, I would never even have imagened them, had I not been given this last illustration job. Goes to show what a mind broadening profession illustrating is. So there I am, job finished, but the nose dildo does not want to leave my thoughts. I could now show you the Chapman Brothers, but whyy? No, let's make 'em real jealous over at Drawn! and go for some old fashioned underground comics!

While typing this entry I hear the stupidest artist on earth being interviewed on the radio, how irritating. She is talking about D3 software, and it's not a slip of the tongue, she said it twice. A question from the interviewer: "What do artists do?" Answer: "They make an image to express themselves". You can order a CD with this historic interview for 8.50 euro. One mind blowing experience after another, my life.

Here's a funny story about dildo's. Years ago I got one big fat dildo as a present, I never used it. And I stuffed it away somewhere in my bedroom. Two weeks ago my 10-year old son came to me looking a bit angry, he asked me "why do you have a dildo in your drawer with not even the right batteries in it!" I felt like a child caught for bad bad behaviour.
Times do change I guess.
