Is it just because he does nudes, or just because none of you can relate to the material or his personal twist on it, or is it a truly technical criticism? Not just you Eric, but all the others who have slapped this guy in the face after he boldly allowed us to see his work! Boy, I wonder what would happen if I made a page of my nudes for all of you to view??
