(Rant) My artistic ambitions are being sabotaged by the leering gaze of straight men!

My main passion is art, mostly painting and illustration—and I have been...inspired lately to make a series intended to be a celebration of sapphic love—inspired by frida kahlo and gustav klimt etc. Figurative works, nudes mostly. Seeing as I’m between jobs and have no money, I can’t hire figure models really in anyway, and I’m out of school away from any friends who’s model for free. This means, for reference images, I have to find them. Online. I have to find reference images, for sapphic nude paintings, online.

And it’s all porn for straight dudes! All of it! Everywhere I look just images catering to the straight male gaze! I type in “two girls sleeping together but literally sleeping together in a cute non sexual way no fisting or straight girls with long nails” and it doesn’t work a bit! I’ve searched for hours and hours only to find like a handful of genuinely tasteful pics that while having a strong element of sensuality, aren’t pornographic in its aesthetic sensibility. A handful! It’s all for straight men, everywhere I look I tell you! Half of the images I have is because I think google is starting to learn that I’m not a straight guy looking to jerk it (who even uses still images for porn anymore? Whose still masturbating to a still static image like some sort of, pioneer? Welcome to the 21st century, Jebidiah!)

So by sheer brute force I have made google come to heel and show me...the sensual but tasteful images! Oy this process has aged me, I feel like an old woman now, life comes at ya fast I guess!
