Yes, women have breasts. I have breasts. Some of my paintings contain breasts. Apparently this is offensive and pornographic. So my breasts are offensive and pornographic, not because some idiot cannot see that they are sexualising them in their own mind when looking at them, no, it's because their reality, in which all breasts are offensive and pornographic, is the only reality and everyone else is having some kind of psychotic delusion.
I am fucked off with my work getting rejected from groups for containing utterly non-sexual breasts. I have no images in my gallery that are sexual. But apparently some people think breasts are inherently sexual. These people need to grow up and get a life. On the flip side the breasts I have in my gallery are not sexual enough for other groups. Wow. Just wow.

Hawk Divine
My first solo book, Hawk Divine, is available in paperback and on Kindle!
Written and fully illustrated by yours truly, Hawk Divine features my eight Egyptian Gods portrait series, as well as previously unseen work. Eight short stories unfold in a modern context, exploring aspects of each of the eight deities presented. Syncretic, supernatural and definitely different, I really hope you enjoy it!
Blurb:
Stepping from dusty temple walls, crumbling papyrus and long forgotten stories in ancient tongues, eight Egyptian gods come forth into our modern world. Through liminal spaces and altered states of consciousness pour the tales of their ingr

Red Kite: Update
From my blog: https://janiceduke.wordpress.com/2015/01/22/red-kite-update/
You may be pleased to hear that my efforts to fundraise for the RSPB in the aftermath of a mass poisoning incident by selling limited edition prints of a Red Kite painted especially for this purpose have been paying off so far. I have raised over £800, woohoo!
The piece has been featured on the BBC Website, in the Press and journal, and has been tweeted by Chris Packham and Mark Avery, two of my wildlife heroes!
It is on display in the hide at Argaty Red Kites, the Red Kite feeding station near Doune, Stirling; and in Pitlochry Pet Supplies, Perthshire. Hopeful
Art and Nature
From my blog: http://janiceduke.wordpress.com/2014/09/18/art-and-nature/
The question of art imitating nature is a popular one in aesthetic philosophy and art in general. It is a fascinating topic, but something in particular about it has been niggling at me for a while now, especially recently. That something is the distinct lack of nature in mainstream modern art.
In recent years I have been volunteering with the RSPB, doing my bit for nature and engaging with the public to share my passion for wildlife. I have had a lifelong love of the natural world, but in the beginning it was, much like my love for art, an escapist love. I grew up in

I hate to say it, but as an Artist, you sometimes need to create for the public until you are known and respected enough to be respected for what you are. It's like making games. i wish I could just make a video game that I want, but you have to make a game for the market. They're buying shitting FPSs and Skyrim-esque RPGS. IF I were to make anything outside of the realm of what they would buy, then I can expect not to get much business. But if I had a name that was respected to put on it, like Bungie or Bethesda, it would sell much better because they know that this, this that is different, will sell, it will be good. It's no longer like the old days where the artist would create and the people would just marvel. If they're looking for something without breasts, they're enough artist out there so that they will find what they want, even if they reject some extremely talented artist in the process.
What really sucks about that is that you are an extremely talented artist who "The Man" is trying to control instead of letting go free. I say The Man for lack of a better world. On top of that, I love breasts, keep drawing them, they're God's gift to earth lol.
