Not Safe for Work

Posted about 3 years ago

SOME OF MY WORK HAS HAD THE NSFW APPLIED TO IT BY MORAL CRUSADERS. THE APPLICATION OF THIS FILTER APPEARS RANDOM AND WITHOUT SENSE. EVEN SOME ABSTRACTS HAVE BEEN FILTERED!!!
Since it appears random I am tempted to make ALL my work NSFW so you have to turn it off to see anything I do. If your not able to deal with all my art, maybe you shouldn’t see any of it?
