Dear Eric,

I am doing fine, thank you, and may I make the same inquiry as to your well-being?

I would humbly and respectfully ask you to review your opinion, and consider a reversal of it. I have been careful to try to observe the standards of decency established by Talenthouse. My understanding of these standards were formed by careful observation of other people's entries - for example, GARE Art's entry for the VolBeat contest (attached)

If I'm not mistaken, this entry is a representation of a guitar's headstock being inserted into the rectum of a naked transvestite.

In contrast, I don't believe the images I used to highlight my good looks are art, not pornography. I believe they are not indecent - I believe the supreme court would find them to be sensual. There is no penetration involved in them.

In particular, the Knucklehead one brought out my inner playa - a man that the ladies all love because he treats them well.... buys them lots of bling, and slaps them around less than Chris Brown would.

Rum pa pum pum!

Yours most sincerely,

Matt Love

Hi Matt,

I hope you are doing well.

I wanted to reach out to you to let you know that we have deleted your submission to the LOOKBOOKS creative invite per the article 3(d) or our Talenthouse Terms of Use Agreement;

(d) will not post Contributions that: (i) are defamatory, damaging, disruptive, unlawful, inaccurate, pornographic, vulgar, indecent, profane, hateful, racially or ethnically offensive, obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, threatening, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable or incite, encourage or threaten immediate physical harm against another, including but not limited to Contributions that promote racism, bigotry, sexism, religious intolerance or harm against any group or individual, or (ii) contain material that solicits personal information from anyone under 13 or exploits anyone in a sexual or violent manner.

The decision was made following a few complaints that the images submitted are indecent and because the submission does not comply to the guidelines of the creative invite.

We embrace all artists and we are glad that you are part of our community Matt. In fact, I know you have been active within our community and I have enjoyed a lot of your past submissions. Thank you for your time and please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Eric
