Riding
Even though I was admonished not to depict any actual penetration due to censorship at the magazines, I began to enjoy the many ways I could circumvent that prohibition while indicating that there could not possibly be any other interpretation for the positions occupied by the characters. I've talked to many guys who've seen my artwork and tell me that they remember hardcore sexual imagery but in fact they had been tricked into seeing an act that I couldn't possibly have gotten published. I always get a kick out of this. If I can create a situational suggestion that is accepted as a actual reality, I've done my job correctly. I think that this was a spot illustration for "Brit Twins."
