This 1986 ad screened by The Guardian changed how we view things with its shocking visual of a 'skinhead' seemingly taking a man's briefcase. But it's only when you enlarge your view, that you see the full picture. Original post 35610

Explorations @explorations.bsky.social · 14/08/2026POLL - should I separate out my portraiture, classic art ref and erotic art ref in to separate accounts here (I’ve already made moves to do this on insta)?? I would cross promote, but could keep everything separate so individuals can focus solely on what they’re interested in… 231
Explorations @explorations.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Thank you! I appreciate the thoughtful feedback 🙏 I’m wondering whether to make erotic reference as separate offering, as I don’t want to put off those who aren’t looking for it. I’m hoping (once we’ve moved) to create more reference in general, as well as my own creative portraiture etc 010
Explorations @explorations.bsky.social · 13/08/2026I dunno whether to offer custom reference for individual artists that are looking for a particular pose/lighting for their projects (presuming my body type would apply) but I dunno if that would become difficult to keep up with or if people would take the piss 010
Explorations @explorations.bsky.social · 13/08/2026And yeah, I mean, being a woman posing nude I’m fairly used to the intent/reception not aaaallllways lining up 😂 And sometimes there are images that spark something else, and you just get a flash of inspo for a whole new project. 010
Explorations @explorations.bsky.social · 13/08/2026I tend to view them separately as well. As from my perspective, nude is not necessarily erotic but not everyone feels the same. I am tempted to separate more erotic reference out from everything else as not everyone wants to trawl through smut to get to the more classic art nudes. 020
Explorations @explorations.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Ah hah, you’re not alone in that. Even though I don’t paint anymore now, I still save images that I think would make a great painting 010
Explorations @explorations.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Thanks for taking the time to respond, appreciate it! It seems pretty common to snag images as/when they come up. The reason I asked about erotic vs classic art reference was because I thinking to separate my offerings so those that are focused on one vs the other don’t see bits they’re not after 000
Explorations @explorations.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Thanks to everyone that answered my questions so far 🩷🩷 I’ll respond individually soon to all you excellent eggs!xo 030

Explorations @explorations.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Questions for artists. How do you find and choose reference? Do you look for specific themes, follow,specific creators? Do you prefer a separation between regular nude art reference vs erotic reference? Do you rely heavily on reference or just search it out when you struggle with a specific feature? 342

Explorations @explorations.bsky.social · 01/04/2026Hey folks, just dropping by to say the hiatus continues following my Dad’s unexpected passing just over a month ago.
