you reply can stand. I understand your reply related to poltics and the bigger issue of historical sexualiation. I understand and agree. But you do see that to say it along with my art it looks very much like you said. "this guy sexualize women becouse I dont like the way they are naked and shape"

The oak arts/ Ludvig Levin @oak-arts.bsky.social · 16d

thank you, once again, I dont have any bad blood agenst you or think you are a bad person. I stated follow you not long ago becouse i think you seemed nice. But I do think we have very diffrent customs of social media manors and of art.

You were fast to cast judgement about boobs being seen or as you said "pert breasts" as a sig of sexualisation, wish was not the intent, they just sit there. And to say ones opinon on a post on ones account does not = You cant talk back to me. To respond to ones art is a respond to the artist.

Its ok babe, I think they made some asumtions about me and my art, I have spoken my mind and they have given me good respons. I hope they see now that drawing goddesses nude was not meant to be sexy or anything like that. I love you and you dont need to go to war for me <3

To asume things of others is the root caouse of so much drama. I as a human, I am also at fault for this. To think before one acts on the internet is a habit one practise, not just masters in the blink of an eye. And its never to late to start practise sush a habit.

I repost my own words becouse if Im not misstaken they have never been more relevant.

Do:
Stop, look, take in, think, act.

Dont:
look, REACT!!!!

For me and from my experience, its better to say almost nothing when posting, unless I feel like writing a 5 pages long disclaimer and clarification so people understand what words mean and that people are having different experiences in life.

8) pardon for bad english, and for a lot of text, my experience on the internet have teached me, that one need to be very clear about all things to be understood, or chose to not speak at all.
I hope you have a good day ❤️

7) but I suspect that you may have made a big asumntion about what kind of artist I am and the goal of my art is. I would advice to never do a asumntion about pepole and art in first glance. And make bold statement about pepoles views becouse saw boob in drawing.

6) I hope I have not missundertood you, as much as I feelt you missunderstood me, and asumed what kind of art I wish to make, and that you see somewhat my point, but you dont have to or agree with me.

The oak arts/ Ludvig Levin @oak-arts.bsky.social · 16d

5) I DO think you have good intentions, and I DO think you have a good point and are a good person with a Great thinking. But I do dissagre when it comes to say what art is and is not ok.

The oak arts/ Ludvig Levin @oak-arts.bsky.social · 16d

4) That sort of thinking just ends up in "not even a goddess can show skin"

The oak arts/ Ludvig Levin @oak-arts.bsky.social · 16d

3) Frigg here is fully clothed, is that art then more ok than Freya with her cheast visuble, shes is after all associated with love and sexuality among many, many other things.

2)I do not think artits should start sensure themself. To say what art is ok and not ok. And how should one dare to potray freely the goddesses under such morals of what is ok art?

The oak arts/ Ludvig Levin @oak-arts.bsky.social · 16d

1) I see your point, and I know I can not solve such a complex issue but try as I might to do something I thought was good. I agree with your thinking, but im not sure if I agree with your approach to say naked body = bad becouse men can objectify. Therefore no one can draw a naked woman.

I have a hard time to find words, but thank you ❤️, even if I can take no credit. A friend and the community worked very hard on it. Always feelt very nice there.

I read a little of Hávamál now and then, might as well post some of my faves when I come across them.

4)I guess I failed in this this time in some eyes. Then again, art is a spektrum and matter of taste.
Pardon my bad english btw 🇸🇪 And I agree with you if that was not made clear.

The oak arts/ Ludvig Levin @oak-arts.bsky.social · 17d

3) But I see your point, when I made this drawing it was related to conversations with some cool women me and my husband know, whos art and work is a lot about women owning their bodys and de-sexulise the female form.

The oak arts/ Ludvig Levin @oak-arts.bsky.social · 17d

2)I often try to potray them in other ways to show their great variation. I must say tho these was no way intendened to be sexualised, I dont even like ladies 🏳️‍🌈.

The oak arts/ Ludvig Levin @oak-arts.bsky.social · 17d

1) I see what you mean, this is an old drawing and my later works are more clothed. Its sadness me tho that you are right that I pehaps drawed to many naked. Becouse a lot of my art work is to bring focus to the goddesses that often are over looked and objectified.

I have been known to do very polytheistic and animistic things from now and then.
