To celebrate Wonder Woman's birthday (March 22), here's a little throwback we did to honor George Pérez.

My friend in Jakarta has big real size Man doll and tifa doll

What the... How did those get past customs? Indonesian customs are notorious for confiscating stuff or imposing heavy duty on imported goods.

Must through agent with special import license, I also has a Starpery doll Julie silicone head bought at tokopedia. We have doll collector group on telegram

Happy National Unicorn Day! I'm honored and ecstatic to display one of my doll photos at the Seattle Erotic Art Festival 2024!

I don't know if there will be works by other doll photographers at the festival, but I'm pleased that one of my favorite doll photos was accepted to the juried portion of the festival. I hope I won't disappoint the doll community.

The photo is an amalgam of the two images below. You can find more info about the piece by clicking on them or going here: https://dollsexposed.com/2024/04/dollse ... ival-2024/

Congrats TPS!

Your work is outstanding! Nice to see dolls making it onto a “BIG” stage!

BTW… Is it ok that I abbreviated your handle??? It’s tough on my old eyes to type out… lol.

I just got home from the Seattle Erotic Art Festival 2024 and yes, I was the only doll photographer. This year the organizer received 2,000+ submissions and only accepted 200 something (including one of mine).

As someone who thinks AI images are stolen and greatly disadvantage artists, I'm glad that the Seattle Erotic Art Festival prohibits prompt-generated images. However, one of the docents I chatted with said that some of the members of the jury thought my photograph was either a digital painting or AI-generated. It wasn't only until they read the description I provided that they realized it was all dolls.

The docent, who's a photographer, said they loved it and admired the work put into creating the image.

So, I hope I did well in representing the doll community.

DSLR cameras (and videos) weren't allowed except for official photographers, so I had to be content with my phone's camera.

Here are the images from the show. My piece was placed in the "First Impression" wall, right by the entrance, which I thought was cool.

And here's what Chrissy wore to the gala:

Congratulations again TPS! That’s a great place to have your piece displayed too.

I’m sure you made lasting impressions on the viewers!
