well i wanted to take e few minutes and write a meaningful web blog to kick things off here at the one month'ish mark.

so i'm going to tell you folks a little personal story.... which hopefully will answer a burning question...

"WHY DO YOU PRODUCE SO DAMN MUCH FUTANARI ART!?"

well to answer that, i kinda have to go way, way back to July of 94... while i was in art school. some may know parts of this story, others may be reading it for the first time... i've kept most of it off the net out of respect... but here we go.

in early July of 94, a good friend of mine was killed by a narcoleptic driver, who came across 4 lanes of a highway, hitting and killing him. now the truly sad thing is, that my friend was an extremely talented artist and was just getting allot of work from a RPG publisher, among others.

we hadn't been speaking much, as we had been in a huge fight right before i left school for the summer. we spoke on the phone about a week before this happened, and had mended the fence and worked out much of what had happened, not all, but most.

now when i got back to school the next day after getting the call he had been killed, it fell on me to put his house in order... send boxes to his family, and the dirty task of cleaning things up so that others would find out some of his secrets... like getting rid of his porn collecting, shit like that.

well once i had thought i had finished the task, the phone rings, at this point i'm pretty much tired of answering it and going through the whole story of what happened to him... but it's the local video store, calling about an over due movie... after being a bit harsher with the women on the phone then i should be (try to imagine the amount of stress i'm under) i set about looking for this video.

i find the box, but theres nothing inside, i hit play on the VCR and low and behold what pops on is a T-Girl getting railed by some guy... i wasn't as shocked as most people would be, honestly... because i was aware he had created a herm character for a super hero team of OC's... also being into adult comic work, as i was back then and even today, it's not like i had never seen a chick sporting a cock before... but to see a video of such a thing was not what i was expecting, and something completely new to me.

this video stuck in my mind over the years and anything that has futa's or t-girls in it, comics, animation or anything i run across always made me think of him, and always will.

i think personally, deep down, he would always have wanted to draw t-girl/futa stuff, but the world was a different place back then... so in part, it's a very large reason why i draw so much of it... it's because it's the one thing i can do to help keep his memory alive in my mind, so i never forget him... because lord knows for a time i tried... also it's one of the things i think he would have liked to been able to draw while he was alive, but never really got the chance... or was afraid of what folks would think.

part of me, i think, needs to believe that he's up there looking down, and knows everytime i post up a futa image, it's for him... as a thank you for everything he taught me as an artist, while he was alive... and was too proud to admit to him when i had the chance... something i will always regret.

so now you know, that every futa/t-girl pix i produce is in the memory of an artist no ones ever heard of named Mathew Korteling, may he rest in peace.

and why, as much as people may get sick of seeing, i can't stop drawing it... eventhough sometimes i've wanted to and took a short time off from it. it's what i do, and why i do it... so it's not going to stop anytime soon, and people need to just learn to except it.

thanks for reading,
