New Art!

[nakedbee]

I have two new photos to post. Warning - very much NSFW. It feels like some sort of Internet Rite of Passage, actually posting naked pictures of myself (rather than just nearly naked photos of others).




The Four Founders, Undraped



I recently came across a challenge to portray the four founders of Hogwarts. That seemed straightforward enough until I noticed an additional requirement - that they all be pictured along with their house animals as well. Therein lay the snag, as far as capturing this image photographically. The four people would be easy, and the medieval costumes not too difficult, but where was I going to get four animals? Toys? The zoo? Neither option was very appealing. And then it hit me. Tattoos! And what better way to show off someone's tattoo than to remove all of their clothes (for art's sake only, of course ... can't have any of the details covered up by clothing)!

Very special thanks to all of my models. Gryffindor for playing along with my crazy schemes, as usual. Slytherin & Ravenclaw for being perfectly accommodating house guests and not fleeing in terror when I sprang on them the idea that what I wanted to do one evening was cover them in black ink, take naked photos of them, and post those photos on the internet. Thank you!!







Co-ed Naked Quidditch



A classic idea. Co-ed naked sports have a long and honorable history. It actually wasn't that hard to pull off. Once I got the gravity suppression field working the only difficult part was finding a time when the next door neighbors weren't around. I could have just stayed at a lower altitude and not worried about them seeing us, but I think the trees make a nicer backdrop than the backyard fence. ;)

Once again, thanks to Mr. Bee for playing along. We had to do about 50 takes for this and he was quite the trooper throughout, with nary a complaint about the awkward poses and inherent absurdity of it all.

You constantly amaze me. This? Art. Beautiful art.

And posting nude photos of yourself online? Woman, no matter what context it's in, you have guts. Serious guts.

Thank you! That's quite a compliment. I'm pretty proud of how they turned out, but every once in a while I can remember what a weird thing it is to do. I actually printed out the 'Founders' one intending to hang it up on the wall, but haven't managed to decide where yet. I mean, what room in the house is really appropriate for that? It'll be funny if I can post it on the internet but chicken out of putting it up in my own house. :)

Gleeee! I love these. Goggles! Rampant!

[nakedbee.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I, too, am a big fan of goggles. I think they add a certain retro-future look to any outfit (or lack of one, in this case).

WHoa! Those are amazing!

[nakedbee.livejournal.com]

Yay! I'm glad you liked them.

these photos!! i would have to say the last one is my favorite...

[nakedbee.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the feedback! Someday I may do a whole Co-ed Naked Series: gobstones, wizard chess, etc ... but quidditch was the most exciting idea so I had to that one first.

Hi! Here via Gnatkip. You rock rather a lot. The tattoos are a brilliant idea :)

[nakedbee.livejournal.com]

Nice to meet you! Once I had the idea for the tattoos, I just knew I had to actually do it; I was lucky that some cooperative friends came to visit the same week I had the idea.

Thanks!

Ooh. Brilliant art. Very exciting. I wanted to attend your panel, but couldn't make it--too early, I think, DrunklePuffs kept me up way too late Friday. ;p

After seeing Snapetoy's recent post of the Snarry images she commissioned from you, I wandered over here to see if you had other photos posted.

The photo collage of the Four Founders is absolutely charming! Lovely work! Thanks for sharing your art with us! :)

Thank you! It's been approximately seven million years since you made this comment, but I wanted to thank you anyway. I am truly tickled to get feedback (even if it does take me ages to respond).

You are hilarious! I esp. enjoyed your story regarding naked Quidditch. :)

[nakedbee.livejournal.com]

Hee hee. Thanks for the comment! :)

Oh, these are wonderful! You are brave and beautiful, and "I sprang on them the idea that what I wanted to do one evening was cover them in black ink, take naked photos of them, and post those photos on the internet" made me do the painful yet oddly enjoyable coffee-out-the-nose thing this morning. :)

[nakedbee.livejournal.com]

Thank you, that's very sweet! I'm sorry for your coffee-related pain, but glad it wasn't an unenjoyable experience. :)

[rickey-a.livejournal.com]

these are great!
You Rock!

[patrissimo.livejournal.com]

I love them both!

[nakedbee.livejournal.com]

:) Aww, thanks!

[verdenia.livejournal.com]

These are still great - I'm so glad you linked to them! :D
