Tommy - Pencil on Paper - 420x594mm - my largest life drawing to date.
SOLD -
Model - @tommylifemodel
Frustratingly, I’ve had several works taken down recently, including one of my latest posts which reached over 50k likes and a huge number of comments. I also briefly had my account suspended yesterday, which I thankfully managed to recover after it was determined that I hadn’t actually broken any rules.
At the moment, it feels like I’m constantly trying to navigate the recently updated and increasingly vague Community Standards.
“We also allow real-world art that depicts nudity, such as photographs of paintings, sculptures, etc. (sometimes labelled with a sensitive warning screen and age-based restrictions).”
Despite this, content that is far more offensive, hateful, or explicit seems to remain on the platform without issue. It’s honestly exhausting, frustrating, and pretty demotivating.
I’m starting to wonder whether the only way to keep my work on this platform is to censor the work itself.
