Haha the dialogue gave me a chuckle. The art in question reminds me of the old horror comic covers from back in the day from titles like “Tales of Voodoo” and whatnot. 😛

It’s interesting what the changing representation of boobs across ‘art’ and ‘popular visual’ forms can tell us about contemporary cultures – but that doesn’t help answer the question.

Hee hee! You’re quite right, of course, Obb. And as you can see from the comments here already, I’ve gotten some fairly honest critiques so far. It is a fun and illuminating process for me as the artist to read these! 😛

It’s definitely art. Her breasts represent the masses heaving for freedom from the yoke of capitalism and the blood represents cum.
