Do nudes belong in the bedroom?

where do you hang your nude art? most collectors I have met over the years (of my work and others) hang the nudes they purchase in the bedroom. it seems to be some form of unspoken consensus that that is where nude art belongs. is this some kind of feng shui for bedroom fu? is…

Work in Progress.. sneak peek!

because one nude Sarah Palin just wasn’t enough

Sarah Palin Nude by Pricasso oh yes. this time it’s a painting created by infamous Australian artist Pricasso (Tim Patch). guess what he paints with? the piece is artistically better, the composition, posing and coloration are more dynamic and fluid. but my statements from before still stand.
