PATTERNS OF EROTICA ; Shunga

DATE.........10 MARCH 2024

I need to consolidate my thoughts about being helpful.

1.We have thought about making the erotic drawings into a book.

2. I have suggested making grids using a dice, being a variant on Pattern.

Working on my website today, I was loading a large number of Japanese prints from Wikimedia Commons on erotic themes. They were known as "SHUNGA" and it struck me that they combined the erotic with ingenious pattern making. If you weren't aware of the possibilities, go to https://www.fulltable.com/VTS/j/japan/SHUNGA/menu.html

I went back and looked at your postings on Instagram. You are right to structure the erotic drawings into a book. It seems to me that you need to stop their production for a while, as they come so easily. The book structure would be ideal.Applyingtexts would help. When you add faces, the faces you draw seem to weaken the drawings because their impact is nebulous and exciting, then they sudden acquires a specific look, a type of face that hinders ambiguity.

The grid game is a way of generating patterns, using the random generated by dice.This might suggest new dynamics in the patterns created; patterns you would not otherwise have thought about.

 

Enjoy the Shunga
