MY SON IS NAKED FOR ART

This past Sunday I did a shoot to add to my continuing series of Doppelgangers. It involved my brother Richard stripped to his boxers, slathered in plaster, dripping in paint and all the while wearing a creepy mask. But my bro isn't the most unnerving aspect about this image, even if he is going to be the central focus. The really disturbing part, in my opinion, is that I used my nude infant son Paladin. Yes, you read right, there will be a naked baby in there.

I'm sure someone will freak out about him being in his birthday suit and the fact that he is so young. But haters beware! I did a few collegiate essays on the legal aspects of art versus pornography and what is legally acceptable. Thus, I am well fairly well versed in this topic and I have no real fear of any repercussions, save for a few dirty looks or scoffs. Those that do get pissy can munch my white ass because he is my son and I would never do anything to harm him in any way. In fact, he was pretty chill until the last few shots when he started to get annoyed. That abruptly ended the shoot and he was quickly cured by mad amounts of kisses from dad and mom.

Paladin will eventually see the finished image when he gets much older and I bet he will get quite a chuckle. By then he should be fully aware that his old man is an artsy weirdo. Besides, I bet he too will be pleasantly odd and he will find it to be endearing and uber rad. I know I would if my father had done the same.

Here's a little sneak peek and take note of that wallpaper. It's a preview of two art projects to come. One for Pretty Magazine and one for lil' ol' me and my bizarre collection of clone art!


I will be posting this image permanently on my site somewhere as a free desktop wallpaper. So have at it!
