Everybody seems to be doing upskirts these days but I am proud of my new take on the subject: I'm not claiming that I invented the uploincloth, but the first one you've ever seen. In fact, you've never even heard of it before now!

After having done so many experimental pieces this winter, it is nice to be back in my comfort zone. This one pretty much painted itself, the only surprise being the bit with the loincloth. As this is my first piece of 2012, it seems that I'm starting off on solid footing
