Publicity

 

I get a lot of good positive feedback regarding my artwork, which is always great to hear and certainly offers encouragement. I feature here some of the kind comments, welcome praise, appreciation, compliments, commendations, acclamations, and appreciations that I have received.

As an Erotic Artist, Jackie Adshead has always felt that it is important to create art with hidden or humorous undertones. She loves her artwork to have an instant rapport - one that people can strongly relate to and which brings out the sensuality that appeals to a large extent to women.

With this aim in mind, she has proudly started a project that explores this to the full. And since she believes a piece of art should try to convey some form of message on more than one level she wanted to create a conversation piece that also contained the ultimate delicious private joke!

Derbyshire writer Stuart Haywood contacted me in November 2008 with regard to me drawing him, and was so delighted with the encounter that he wrote to me to describe his experience of it. Stuarts local paper weren’t happy about publishing it, when he sent it to them, which was a shame as it made me laugh out loud in a couple of places.

Well I must say that Thursday certainly was an experience, although I do mean that in a good and positive way and it certainly wasn’t unpleasant, nor as it turns out was it anything to worry about either. During my drive back I was trying to think how I would describe it and I didn’t really come up with anything as such. But I was drawn to the title of one of your recent blog entries “Empowered” and it certainly was an empowering experience, but really it was so much more than that, I felt a great sense of achievement in becoming part of something that will last, well longer than me really.

Good morning Jackie and thank you for another wonderful drawing!!

 It just makes my head spin!!! 

Once again I must thank you for the fabulous emotions the picture evokes, especially on a personal level. Our meetings are so wonderfully relaxing and I always look forward to them, excited about the drawing but also to share some time with you. I wonder how the Mona Lisa felt to see her painting? The knowledge that it is you in the picture is a tremendously powerful emotion. For a normally quiet and modest person, it is a huge sense of achievement to stand before you, the focus of your attention. For such a wonderfully skilled artist to spend time with me and to be a small part of your work is such a priveledge. I enjoy every moment. When others see the pictures you have created, they see a male form, beautifully drawn and certainly there is that warmth about them - the 'feminine touch' as you said. I wonder what they see? Powerful images certainly. Do they see me as the generally reserved kind of chap that I am, or because I am naked, do they see a more brazen type of character, eager to show his 'bits'? No matter how often I look, I think they see the real me ... the drawings are so tender that there is that sense of quiet allure about them, all things showing or not.

This drawing, perhaps more than the others (because of their more explicit nature), would stand well in any gallery and it makes me immensely proud to think that it could be seen in a public gallery without any problem at all. Proud because of the quality of the work (you really should see some of the poor efforts I have seen about my travels) but especially proud of the moments we shared creating the work. Somehow "Thank you" doesn't seem enough.
I am sure I will see you soon for another drawing and I look forward to that.

I was amused by Friday's post about creativity . . . among other things, you have trained your mind to see interesting things that are there in plain view, but others mentally edit out because they are not connected with their present purpose.  You capture them, translate them to visual media, and surprise and delight your audience with their beauty.  What a wonderful talent!

Dear Jackie

Enclosed are my recollections of the production of the wonderful cards. They are absolutely brilliant.
I do not have a favourite at the moment but no doubt one will emerge.  Many thanks for your patience over this project. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
....

A few months ago I conceived the idea of having a few greetings cards produced to send to friends.

I wanted the cards to be well composed and amusing. The theme was to be me in the nude in four poses. As I am 73 years old, part of the humour is concerned with my age and also my sex as I consider the male genitalia must have been designed by someone who was a practical joker.

Who could produce these cards? Of course the answer was you as only 18 months previously you had depicted me in the nude in two beautiful drawings of which I am extremely proud. I knew from that experience that as well as being an accomplished artist, you are also a very delightful person, very patient, enthusiastic and encouraging. I would not have to divest myself of all clothing for a stranger which I find a bit of a trial.

When I rang you to tell of my intentions and would you be interested in the project your answer was an emphatic ‘yes’.

I next visited you and I ran through my ideas and we discussed the pictures and captions to accompany them.

We agreed on four cards, two to be quite innocuous, one explicit depiction and the other less so.

When I picked up the completed cards I was thrilled with them. They are my personal statement and unique gift to my friends and family. I left the captions off as I prefer to use different ones to different people.

As usual, I am in awe of your talent as an artist and it has been my great good fortune to have met you. I have learned much about myself and a little bit about you and your art.

My confidence has been much enhanced. The days have gone when I considered doing a course in self-confidence but didn’t because I was afraid to register.

Love Stuart
