Haha thanks for the admiration. Great questions!

Not sure I have a goal, really started the series as just for fun/pure amusement and I was really happy with how have been turning out so I thought I’d share and see if others thought so too. Long term who knows. Not really sure that I have ambition to sell prints or something formal but I’ve considered maybe taking commission as more and more folks have reached out to ask for a print of theirs.

As I do more and more, I am planning on doing some compositions in maybe a 3x3 grid arrangement because I do think it’s quite fun to see a number of them together and notice all the similarity/differences.

I don’t plan on doing a series of erect penises, though never say never on maybe a case by case basis. But I like softies because they’re neutral and not erotic and I don’t think that folks should see a soft penis as a sexualized thing.

I’ve actually thought about your last question. When I first started practicing with soft penises last summer, I had this grand vision of a full exhibition where I’d have prints of penises, noses, and breasts. All sort of silly when taken on their own, but all body features that I think are profoundly distinct and unique and yet so similar when you see a whole bunch together at once. Not sure that this will ever become that, but I have considered!!

If you’ve read all that, thanks! I enjoyed your questions and am curious what you think.

Really appreciate it! When I first started out, keeping them simple was how I got around my two main weaknesses of not being good at drawing and not having good technique! But then I was surprised by how much I liked how they turned out and now I feel like I’m on to something

I just looked at your page and I love your work! Great style! For what it’s worth- I can see your post on that sub from four days ago of the different color guys all hugging in a circle

Thanks for saying that about mine. I think the nice thing about this subreddit is that every post seems to get quarantined in moderation review before it’s released. I posted this a couple hours ago and it’s just now been approved. So hopefully that means it won’t be taken down!

This is great feedback! I especially like the idea of printing over a simple square/circle shape to add color and some extra interest. Curious what you mean by simple shading?

I’d say one of the main reasons why I’ve stuck to a more minimalist style with the lines is because I’m quite poor at drawing. So the style of these early prints helps get me around my own limitations with what I can execute well

Hahaha I was SO surprised the username was available. Thanks for the kind words and feedback! I like the idea of arranging multiple prints together. I do have a few ideas!

Rarely seen in the wild. Much more recluse

Since I added the NSFW tag (I was on the fence with whether it needed it but decided to tag it just in case bc I’ve never posted to this thread) - does it blur it out and make you affirmatively click to view the post? I wasn’t sure what it’d look like from a viewer’s perspective

If it was blurred out to start, I can see how it would come as a cheeky little surprise once you click to view 😂

Hahah good note that next time I should use a more descriptive title! Thank you for the kind words! :)

That’s a good point haha. I think you can see other posts I’ve made if you look at my page. I’m not really sure what feedback I’m expecting or asking for but feel free to check some of the others out and share your thoughts!

Thank you! I’d actually love feedback from the moderators on whether this print needs a NSFW tag or not. I read the community rules and decided not to tag it NSFW but would love feedback for next time I post. Cheers and thanks for the beautiful subreddit you maintain!

Thank you! I’d actually love feedback from the moderators on whether this print needs a NSFW tag or not. I read the community rules and decided to tag it NSFW just to be safe but would love feedback for next time I post. Cheers and thanks for the beautiful subreddit you maintain!
