Too Offensive for MySpace

1 comment | posted Jan 15

Virb was recommended to me because my artwork is apparently too offensive for MySpace. I had a profile dedicated to my art up for several months and never received a single complaint. Then MySpace began deleting my images and warning me about their Terms of Service. Within days of that my profile was completely deleted.

I've heard the same thing happened to three other visual artists in the same week.

I am hoping the powers that be at Virb will be less puritanical. After all... it is ART. We shall see.

I hope they let me stick around because so far Virb looks great and WORKS... unlike MySpace.

The images uploaded here are censored of the most naughty bits. You can see all those images (and many more) in their full glory here: art.malsonus.com/

So, anyhow... here's some of what's been going on lately:

I have an art chapbook out called "Case Studies." There were 50 numbered copies that are now sold out BUT I have a handful of Artist proofs available for sale. More on that here: art.malsonus.com/shop.htm

Also, if you scroll down on the same "store" page linked above you can see two limited edition digital prints I have available for sale. I am also selling a small number of original black and white drawings here: art.malsonus.com/originals.htm

I'm working on new paintings and drawings right now - so stay tuned for updates. There will be some art show news coming up too.

Thanks for your interest. -Jonathan Canady

hope you're right for the future, too. It's still a very young and growing network. I was deleted many times at myspace, not for my own artwork, but for so called offensive comments bla bla.

I hope all the very best for you and your artwork shown here!
