The first erotic image I eve saw was a reproduction of Michael Angelo’s Leda And The Swan at Movie-land Wax Museum when I was 5  I never forgot the shock it gave me.. It was the first time I felt a jar that intrigued me to want to know more.  I have always felt that as we get older our sexual politics become marred by experiences, and we loose the playful innocence we have as youngsters.  When we are young we don’t view sex as sex, but a strange phenomenon that has yet to jade us.  This piece is based on a time when I found my dad’s (straight) porn and I decided to be kind enough to beautify it with my crayons.  He was pissed!
