4. A Picture Worth 200 Words?

A sketch I gave to May as a present.

A few weeks ago I curled up in my new leather armchair with a pad of paper, thinking I would work on some illustrations for a project I have on my plate at the moment. Instead, I ended up with this ink sketch. I gave it to May as a present. It is stuck to our wall with Blue-Tack, and I use it to weight my arguments when telling May that he’s pretty. The original is larger, uncropped, and uncolored: I punched in a bit of quick-and-dirty flat color (my old silkscreen style) before posting it here. While admittedly my Photoshop skills are weak, this is a good approximation of our actual skin and hair tones at the moment.

    That makes me want an “Adventures of Eileen and May” comic book.

    Once upon a time there was such a thing, and then it got put to the side because of other commitments. If there’s a serious call for a kinky webcomic I’ll see what I can do about starting it back up once I have more time.

    What do you mean “if there’s a serious call for a kinky webcomic”?! Of course there’s a serious call for a kinky webcomic!

    Yeah, what she said.

    I find that sketch to be erotic in some way that I can’t really define. Not “hot”, just strangely compelling, like there’s a story that I can almost, but not quite figure out.

    Tom,
    I’m with you there. But being good meat-space friends with Eileen & Maymay, I can tell yo that there is always that quality to them.

    Also, it’s somehow reassuring that May is still so very pale.

    Rona, Tom, Tyr,
    Um, thanks?

    Maja,
    The funny thing is, he has tanned.

    And I agree with Tom. There is the air of… a secret silently shared.

    So I’ve been a total lurker. And was reading this, before I went to take a nap.

    Both you and MayMay ended up in some crazy kinky sex dream I had, where I was visiting NYC. Of course, I only read you, and have never met you, but apparently the picture started up my…creative juices.

    I’ll try and be less lurky now. It’s a beautiful piece.

    So, was it good for you, too? :)

    Hi, by the way. I’ve been seeing you everywhere. Eden sex toy reviews, your blog, etc. Glad to see us all making first contact, as it were.
