My fella and I were sitting watching a film last night over a glass of wine and the house phone rang.
I picked it up and answered it and a man’s voice asked if I was Jackie?
Yes I replied, and he went on to say that he was interested in modelling for me for when I do one of my art classes.
I replied to him that the only way that I would be drawing him would be if he was paying me.
He said he didn’t have a lot of money but could afford £150.
I asked if he had any ideas of poses he might want.
He said that he would leave it to me to decide.
Ok I said, and asked him to email me so photos of him so that I could see what he looked like.
He seemed surprised at that and asked why, and I said it was so that I could see what his body shape looked like.
He said that he could come over to my studio in Leicestershire.
Ok, I said, and asked where he lived.
Sussex.
Sussex? It’ll take you two or three hours to get to me.
Yes, he said, he didn’t mind, it was his choice to do that journey. And he wanted to be drawn in a group by others, to which I replied that there wouldn’t be a group, only me and that part of the money he would be paying me would be for a chaperone.
Chaperone? He repeated in surprise.
Yes, I said, Chaperone, I’m a woman artist who does erotic art, and I use a chaperone.
He said in that case there’s no point in us going any further with this conversation and I won’t bother.
Ok I said as he put the phone down.
So now I am intrigued, as to what exactly did he think was going to happen?
So what I am to surmise from that then?: My fella and I were sitting watching a film last night over a glass of… https://t.co/7QaDNUVysP

Oh i remember all that. I had one guy pay me £200 do so a painting he didnt want just so he could send me hundreds of pictures and talk at great length about his penis. Strangely women never make these requests. It drove me mad. Trees are so much easier. They don’t get excited. They just stand there all branchy and leafy. Lovely 🙂
You know I thought of you when I posted this as I know we’ve had similar conversations regarding the strange requests we women artists get sometimes from men. And yes, that’s totally true that women never make these suggestions! I try to be professional but sometimes wonder what exactly the guy on the other end of the phone really wants when he contacts me??? lol
Fantasy fulfilment. An “experience” funny really 🙂
Yes I realised that after the phone call, and have had similar phone calls/emails when the guy isn’t interested in the artwork, it seems, but wants the experience of being drawn by a group of women, a woman artist, a naked woman artist, a sexy woman artist. I even had one guy who wanted to be drawn by me and wasn’t bothered if I drew him or ………not! what was that about ???????? !!!!!!!!!!
Its still my whole inbox on my art page. Guys wanting to get naked in front of me. Just no 🙂
So long as they are willing to pay for the privilege I don’t mind so much, its just the ones who think that they are giving me the privilege and expect me to do it for free that I object to!!!! 🙂
Oh god yeah they want me to be grateful too! Haha
