This all makes a lot of sense, and I agree wholeheartedly.
Art, Nudity, And Creating A Welcoming Environment For All Painters
Hey Felix.A wonderfully composed guide to enrich everyone's experience here at Two Inch ..I personally thank you for your thoughts and for creating such a great place for artists to share their creations with other creative folk.I will do my part to follow the new guidelines.Cheers,P
A good and reasonable series of steps which will hopefully "protect" the sensibilities of some of the visitors to TIB.
Dear Felix, this is a wonderful and very thoughtful approach. As Tel says, it’s a great way to be welcoming to everyone. I know many people use art as a form of meditation and escapism from difficulties they might be having and this could really help. For example, a soldier who has seen active duty may not want to accidentally come across an image depicting injury. Similarly a woman who has experienced sexual violence may not want to see explicit imagery. The way you have set it up will ensure that artistic freedom is protected whilst also being considerate of the viewer which is of equal importance. Thank you so much for being so thoughtful in your quest to create a welcoming site for everyone.
HelzMightyOak Thank you, very well said!
Felix, A very sensible approach to art, I believe everyone has the right to post what they do but also understand that some individuals would not necessarily want to view some more adult themed pieces, this is an extremely level headed approach and I commend you on your decision and thank you for your continued dedication to your site.
I have downloaded a painting that is marked NSFW. It is simple landscape painting I don't understand.
