genitalia replacement



the new self-published trevor brown book, "la nursery noire", is now back from the printers! - but not without problems - the japanese printer refused to print 5 pages without censorship - the matter of contention being very tiny penises and one girlie slit (nothing more than a mere pencil line) - hard core "adult material"? - quite ludicrous - they wouldn’t even allow mosaic censorship because the penis shape could still be imagined?! - ...do we presume now all nude cherub images are prohibited?



altho very unhappy and angry about this printer dictatorship (their name isn’t even on the book - i credit myself as the publisher), i went ahead and blanked out with white circles the offending genitalia - i had little choice - it’s especially stupid as various other penises in the book they didn’t demand to be defaced - apparently okayed because they weren’t emanating from the groin area..?



from back cover - quoting an instagram comment from angelscream666 - and only vaguely realising how prophetic this'd be



so, if the printers are going to make a fool of me, i am going to make a fool of them - and regain some lost integrity - every copy of the book will now contain an envelope with a set of computer-printed stickers of the censored areas for you to replace - subversive fun! - first trevor brown sticker book, age 18+



please return our penises



yay!

ps: i'll start selling the book very shortly!
