I bet @justinkanew.bsky.social would would be happy to come on and talk about it. I believe you’d find out in short order that you’re in over your head. Maybe research who you’re putting on blast before you make such comments.

INCOMING 2026 SNEAKY PEAK! I’m super excited for next year and I already have a few projects in the can but these tight crops are about all I can show without giving them away. Any guesses on what the New Year holds? As always, speculation will be entertained but neither confirmed nor denied.

I’m really sorry it happened . You know you’re one of my faves.

Sam Payne Art @paynless2011.bsky.social · 08/08/2025

Not sure if any of that would be of any use in your case but thought I’d pass it along.

Sam Payne Art @paynless2011.bsky.social · 08/08/2025

After doing that a couple of times a day, I took screenshots of my initial screen when I go to search, even circling some of the more egregious images and pointed out that my content is pg13 . Shortly after that one, all of the posts that had been flagged were no longer flagged.

Sam Payne Art @paynless2011.bsky.social · 08/08/2025

That sucks so hard! I haven’t been threatened with full on suspension but I’ve had multiple posts flagged, most of which didn’t remotely go against community standards. After my appeals were denied, I started going to “report a problem” and politely stating my case.

Sam Payne Art @paynless2011.bsky.social · 06/08/2025

In light of the regular flagging of some of my stuff, I’ve decided to post unedited versions of culprits on sampayneart.com . The section is called Too Hot For IG. Soooo, if you’re interested, you should check it out.

Sam Payne Art @paynless2011.bsky.social · 06/08/2025

🔥🤣🤣🤣🔥 For those of you who’ve been around for a bit, this is probably an (ironically) hilarious post, since I don’t do content that isn’t much beyond what would be classified as PG13. That said, the gods of social media still often frown upon me.

Sam Payne Art @paynless2011.bsky.social · 01/08/2025

I really appreciate it! I hardly ever do black and white but it was a nice change.

Happy Summerween, y’all! All done with this Luna Moon pinup for @adamthemovieguy96 . Luna is shown here sipping on her favorite cocktail, a Nightmare on Bourbon Street, and (almost) wearing a bikini from Scaredricks of Horrorwood. Vampire skull prop provided by Vlad’s Old-Ass Bones.
