PLAYBOYS in PLAYGIRL MAGAZINE
I recently took photos of a project that I created when I was an undergraduate at Washington University in St. Louis. I drew men (using a mouse in Photoshop) from PLAYGIRL magazine and letterpress printed each man’s quotes that accompanied their photograph in the magazine. The series caused quite a stir at WashU, with one male professor complaining that the whole series was in bad taste and insulting to men. I think it held up very well, both conceptually and physically (no fading of the digital print after 25 years). This series was created in 1999, and is in the Special Collections at Washington University, St. Louis.
