When I was a young, I made porn

Among other things. Most famously, I made a porn.

Recently I have been looking through art that I made 10 or more years ago. I have been painting since I was 6, and I went to Western for Fine Art. I have a lot of art. Incredibly, I have found my old work a great source of inspiration. My ideas were untainted then, perhaps more original. Some projects are even worth continuing or redoing.

Hand Job, my first video project created in 1999 is a porn spoof. It isn't particularly silly, in fact you will probably blush when you watch it.  It's embarrassing, which is why it works. I have questioned posting it. I tried to edit my name out of the credits, which are written in a font so perversely close to Comic Sans it makes me cringe. Sadly, I no longer have the original VIDEO TAPE that it was made on, and this poor digital copy refuses to let me edit it. So be it. In a way its roughness lends itself perfectly to amateur porn. So here it is, rough, rude and ridiculous- my stint in Porn.
