Medical Update

13th January 2025 06:43

Things have stabilized. I will be home for a few days, and will do part of the trip to Peru :) However, I will be in the US for most of the next few months, so there won't be much shooting. The sites are now scheduled up to the end of June, and there is plenty of material waiting!


Major Medical Emergency

14th December 2024 06:04

We've had a major medical emergency in the family, and I have had to come to the US at a moment's notice. I will be here for the foreseeable future. All shoots cancelled, and I may not get to Peru either. I will keep publishing the updates (everything is scheduled up to the end of March), and keep an eye on things. Apart from that the sites will have to take a back seat for a while.


Fuck Off Leon

I've had enough of X, I'm joining the Xodus. Just too much fascism, especially for someone who is woke and proud of it. I wiped my personal account a while ago, I will keep @artcoreck for a while as I do get some DMs there. I will only post on it in an emergency.

So... I'm on BlueSky, with the same name! Only one post at the moment, as I am trying to understand how the moderation works. Sadly, I can't find a "follow button" like X, so you'll have to do it yourself. I'm @artcoreck.bsky.social


Ten Tomorrow

31st October 2024 18:42

I can't do the birthday post on the day this year as I am travelling all day tomorrow - I'm going to a show in La Louviere in Belgium for the weekend :) Anyway, 10 years! I can't believe it. If you have been around for a lot of the time (and I know some of you have, thanks!) then you probably can't either. I have more material than ever awaiting publication, so as long as I don't get hit by a bus or something we will be going on for years, even if I don't pick up a camera again - and that is unlikely :)


First Time Ever

22nd September 2024 10:40

I was doing a big workshop in Brno, with 5 different models. I had been given this girl's real name (obviously I won't put that here), and happily shot her over 3 days. At the end we did the paperwork, and she called herself "Juicy Mermaid". Last night I was going through all the photos of the models' ids, and this one looked a bit familiar. I went through my records, and found I had shot her as Aika May 8 years ago! I wonder if she had recognised me and thought I was a complete idiot! In my defense, she now has a lot more tattoos, bigger boobs, and has had a mole on her face removed... It can be surprisingly difficult to recognise models after a few years, but I never thought I could do a complete shoot and not realise I had shot the girl before!


That Was A Day

21st August 2024 08:03

It started with a blast down my favourite road, the A31 from the Hog's Back down to Winchester. Then a couple of hours wandering around Hinton Ampner with a really good lunch. Then a long shoot with the gorgeous Suki Star and her handsome boyfriend Zack doing their first ever B/G shoot. Then the blast back up the A31. And finally, a cheese sandwich with some amazing Mango & Ginger National Trust pickle. I leave it to you, dear reader, to decide which was the best part :)


A Lot More Travel

18th July 2024 12:09

After 3 weeks in Spain with Amelia, where we did 4 shoots with other models but not as much solo stuff as I expected, I have been in Belgrade for a week (I was at home for 3 days!) for 3 more shoots. The D drive on my laptop is now full! I have 2 weeks at home to clear some space before I am on the road again...

Here's some Barbie Ghoul, an american girl living in Barcelona


Price Increase

1st July 2024 07:59

I have just implemented the price increase I mentioned a few weeks ago. As I stated then, it is because of the 90% increase in my largest cost for running the site, the flat rate credit card fee I have to pay. Blame the credit card companies! Anyway, the prices have gone up by around 10%. Ongoing recurring memberships should be unaffected.


Serious Weekends

11th June 2024 14:11

That was busy! The show in Athens last weekend, 3 nights at home, and then the show in Mons. I think my days of standing in a crowd for 12 hours taking pictures are behind me - I can only do about 4 hours a day now! Also, to be honest, the budgets at a lot of the shows are less now, and the paid porn sets aren't as good. I remember in 2015 at Mons when they had Carla Cox & Lena Love, and Lauren Crist & Victoria Sweet doing superb hard G/G every hour, and each one cost 10 euros. That was serious quality! This time the porn shows at Athens were reasonable, but I went to one porn show at Mons, and it was rubbish. To be fair the public shows were OK. Oh well... I will go to fewer shows. Next up, Venus Berlin!

After all that I'm off to Spain for 3 weeks with Amelia Rose this weekend. We have 4 models already booked :)
