SK Originals

Its now official, I have launched a new site under a new domain, skoriginals.net. My previous domain, skasch.com, was a bit obscure and a little odd. The move only made sense. I hope you enjoy the new site and stop by to give it a look.

skoriginals.net: http://skoriginals.net

The Wraith Master skin is available here: http://wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?skinid=6608&libid=1

and be sure to check out all the free skins to Wraith as well :)

What follows is my response to this 'alligation'...

I'll remove these 'Fine Art' pieces but I must say that this well beyond the need for 'action'. I can understand Windows Live Space not wanting nudity on the pages but these are art in its truest form. They are undeniable art and the mere mention of them being referred to as offensive and laud is absurd. This is yet another example of people not making the distiction between art and 'pornography'. By claiming these are in 'violation' of your terms and services is saying that some of the great masters of centries past created pornography with thier works of art. This is a sad example of 'enforcement' of your guide lines.

I guess we will see what 'action' will be taken from this point. If you are curious as to exactly what these 'offensive' pieces are you can check my 'Fine Art' gallery on deviantART. Two of the the three violating artworks are shown there. Their names are "Psyche Transported to Olympus" and "Rosa Master Copy" both are 'Master Copy' ink washes, a master copy is a recreation of a work of art considered to have been done my an old world master of art. The third was a rough sketch done in sepia conte' crayon on newsprint in a three quarter rear view of a woman on her knees with her head resting on a bench.
