My Nude Young Men in Photography: Flesh of Leopards

(ABOVE: One of the images from my 'Flesh of Leopards' photographic collection of Nude Young Men)

Well yes I know it's not sculpture, but I do use my own photos as reference for my sculptures.

One of the male models used in the photos lives in our house. He still assists at the drop of a hat to whip his kit off when I'm sculpting so I can get a curve, fold or form right.

I include this blog reference to my male nude photographic work, as I'm having some difficulties with wikimedia accepting that my own photo images are indeed my own images, despite my having sent a required copyright permission email.

Hey Ho, it seems there is a certain hostility & prejudice towards gay artists contributing to so many art and other websites if openly gay.

I have encountered so much homophobic prejudice towards my homocentric art, in particular from the homophobic neo-Nazi of Devon & Cornwall Constabulary (who tried in 2004 unsuccessfully to prosecute me for my lawful paintings), the art philistines at Intercom Trust (who attacked the art work of Henry Scott Tuke), and the anti-gay art Cornwall Gay Pride committee (who banned my sculptures from Cornwall Pride).

It's not just the likes of Stalin’s Russian Communism or Hitler’s Third Reich which censored art ruthlessly. Art censorship is alive & well in Cornwall (UK) due too pious over reaction to male nudity in art

NB: Please note there is NOTHING pornographic going on in the original photographs from which I have created the 'Flesh of Leopards' photographs. Simply ‘male nudes in photography’.


Do take a bimble to wikimedia and checkout some (just some) of my artwork, paintings sculpture & photographic.

  1. Lovely use of the human (male) body, intimations of intimacy through--, what? Geometric symmetry? So very creative. Utterly brilliant.
