When I left he gave me that bag of scrolls - I mean it was a big bag, easily a hundred, double sided, the results of barely 2 weeks of work - if even. 

I've started photographing and uploading them, they are fascinating (if a bit repetitive, ...); all of them can be substantially embiggened by right clicking and selecting "open image in new tab". When looking at them they're all in pairs - one side, then the other; only rarely is a scroll one-sided. And - I'd like to say - a lot of people would guess from his artwork that he's a dirty-old-man. He's not. I mean, he is, just not in that way, he's very respectful of women; clearly he's gotta have some sort of charm if any (or all?) of these women posed for him...

This job of digitally archiving them - and poorly, at that - it's a full time thing - I'm not kidding, already friends are advising me I have more bags of scrolls waiting, you're going to have to settle for the best I can do...

Organizing this is going to be a nightmare. And Titles? Any idea how I should title these? "Nude Girl with Coffee Cup"? I mean, creatively titling them would demand I hire a copywrite as well as an archivist...

Anyways, enjoy, there's a lot more to come...
