r/Art would like to take a moment to thank the artists and users who are posting artwork relating to George Floyd, the protests, and Black Lives Matter. We will continue to ensure that the work of these artists are protected from abuse.


We would like to remind users of our 8th rule:

Bigotry, slapfights, and off topic comments will not be tolerated and may result in all parties being banned

Under this rule any racist posts and comments will be removed and result in a ban, and this includes shaming contributors for their choice to share certain artwork. Additionally, under this rule any comments calling for violence towards any person or group of people will be removed and result in a ban.

Thank you for understanding.

Lately this sub has been accused of an over-abundance of art that contains female figures in various idealistic, often unrealistic, and frequently naturalistic representations. Maybe this is valid, maybe not; either way we thought we'd do something about it and get some men in here.

Naked men. Ostentatiously naked men. Gloriously naked men.

The Full Monty

Here are the rules:

  1. We will accept submissions for the next month. The final date will be September 26, 2020. There is no limit on the number of unique submissions.

  2. To participate artwork must be titled "The Full Monty" (although please stick to the other title requirements, e.g. 'The Full Monty, me, charcoal on paper, 2020'). As an example: our first entry.

  3. All artwork must be original content. You may use your name in the title, as long as it is your own work.

  4. At the end of the contest period we mods will pick a winner based on net upvotes, and a weighted mod vote.

  5. Submissions must have at least one male figure. As mentioned, full frontal nudity is encouraged, so please flag the post NSFW where appropriate.

  6. Bonus points if the art stylizes, idealizes, and even objectifies the male figure in some form, satirizing the way the female figure is often represented here. Details of this are, as always, up to individual creativity.

  7. The winner will be stickied for another month, and get bragging rights. We will also hand out additional awards like gold and badges for exceptional merit.

ASP 02 S9 TransArtSpots is a non-profit and 100% community-driven project. We run it because we love to discover art and share it with others. The app does not contain any ads and we do not get money from this project at all. That's why we ask for your help! 

Wanna help spread the word about the App?

It would be great if you can tell your friends about ArtSpots, or if you run a website or blog, share the news and post a page. If you are active on social media, please also spread the word among your friends - art needs a space without commerce and it should be us, who count, not money and some shareholders. Thank you!

If you need pictures and stuff, here is the download to a media package, containing screens of the app, the image teaser and a short description you can freely use.

See you in ArtSpots.
