Sure, your Valentine may appreciate chocolates and flowers, but do you know what your Valentine really wants? To see you naked, all the time. A handmade portrait of your hotness is the gift that keeps on giving, all year long..
Jill Kleinhans- JillKinLA- makes all kinds of blockprint cuteness- some of my favorites are her Goodies From L.A. gift tags and the Trophy Congrats Card. Inspired by the winter pop-up shop she did with Reform School entitled This Time, It's Personal, Jill K has started offering custom nude block prints. All you have to do is send her a naked photo! No big deal. As she told Paper Pastries, "After years of Life Drawing classes, in Art School, I've seen a lot of birthday suits. Consider me like a doctor." If you're shy and only want to send her a partially-nude photo, please keep in mind that she will fill in the details using her imagination. Do you really want that? It might be better to bare all. After all, it's for love.
Jill K's custom nude portraits are $100 for a 4"x6" print on a 6"x8" piece of archival cotton paper, and each additional print is only $10 (spread the love!). You'll need to allow two weeks for delivery, so now's the time to put in your Valentine's Day order.

This is very cool!
Playful and naughty. Love the idea.
Um, the concept of "additional prints" for $10 is hilarious! This is a cool idea for brave souls, and I guess a bargain if there are lots of people who you believe want to see you naked.
hahaahaha I immediately thought of that Simpsons episode where Homer tries to take a sexy photo for Marge (a Valentine's Day gift?) and the photographer shudders and starts smearing Vaseline on her camera lens for an "artistic" blurred effect
I traded a local art student / photographer for his time to take "vintage postcard" style photos of me (he got a model, I got the digital files). Then I hired a photoshop person to do color correction ($150). Then I took the files to a local art printer and got epson prints on watercolor paper (free, because the company I worked for sent him a LOT of business). Then I put the photos in a scrapbook with old fashioned photo corners ($50). For $200 (a bargain!!) I gave my then-boyfriend-now-husband a really gorgeous album that he pulls out every now, admires the pages, and and says, "hey, you were hot then."
There's a lesson in there somwhere....
"All you have to do is send her a naked photo!" For real?
If you go to the webpage, the Burt Reynolds on bearskin is hilarious :)
Did Apartment Therapy censor that picture? Seriously?!
Obviously this is not aimed at folks like me! You kids have your fun, though! But never run for office later on!!!
great print ! i'm kind of surprised it was censored though, it is art :)
I think the black-out strips were done as a joke rather than as censorship. It's funny that a block print of a woman sniffing her own armpit would be considered sexy.
