Oddly enough I only learned about the existence of DEVIANT ART when my daughter started up an account on it. She was fifteen at the time. I suppose that this thing has gone full circle in a strange sort of way.

I started a page on DA in early 2008. For some strange reason my most viewed picture was only the SECOND one I ever posted. “You Were Expecting Someone Else?” has far surpassed anything else I have offered in the attention that it had generated. It makes me feel like a one hit wonder.

For most of last year I noticed that the demographics of my page were rather wide (at least for the DA crowd). I wasn’t getting just one gender, age group or nationality. There was a noticeable “cluster” of Canadian lesbians, but that can be understood because I am promoting a book series “I, BONITA” to that particular audience.

I suppose things changed last summer when I became the victim of the Kim Possible NAZIS. Several rather tame nudes of KP were deleted by the DA Gestapo. After that I figured that there was no point in making such pictures if they were only going to get banned anyway. BTW: I reshuffled galleries. There is still plenty of KP cheesecake in my galleries they are just not LABLED as such. HINT: If you haven’t seen them, peek in some of my more obscure galleries.

It appears that I started pulling punches my fan art began to drift toward more G-rated material. I had no idea that this would lead to about 90% of my most recent first time viewers being teenage girls younger than my daughter.

My more mature stuff is still there and clearly identified as such. I want to make it clear that I am not intentionally pitching to this audience. Likewise I am not attempting to offend anyone if they suddenly “discover” that I am an adult artist doing art for grown ups.

One young woman recently had a freak fit when I dared to post a journal entry that blasphemed against her tin god, (refer to my journal entry before the last one). She launched an ad hominum attack on me and even posted in her own journal a cross reference to mine with the challenge to her friends to see for themselves what horrible things I had written. I had to block her and report the abusive messages she sent to me.

Maybe I should refer to self-destructive pop stars more often. I got a record number of page views that day.

So I ask the question: “Ka-WHY the teen girls?”
