Fan Comments
1994
The artist tells me the real title for this piece is "A Kiss on the Right Place". Is it ever! It never fails to amaze me that Shelley can put so much feeling into her art. The love and intensity we all find in the K/S relationship is expressed so beautifully in her work. It could be none other than Kirk lying there, replete with afterglow. Even though we do not see his face, every line of his body reveals it. And the depiction of Spock shouts of his satisfaction and worship. I'd love to see some wise zine editor put out a collection of Shelley's art, though I suppose it would be too prohibitively expensive to do. Prohibitive or not, I'd buy it. After all, who really needs to eat regularly? [1]
1995
This is softly drawn, as if one is looking at it through fine gauze or the other-worldly glow of a dream. The reflection of light off sweat slicked bodies makes of this drawing a dance of light and subtle shadow. I could gaze at this drawing many times and never grow tired of looking at it. [2]
JEEEEEEEEEZUS (no blasphemy intended), what can I say about that drawing which hasn't been said before? Nothing? Guess so, but I'll give it a try anyway. Breathtaking, in my book at least. Currents of feelings flowing in a vast ocean of tactile humanity, would that come close to describing it? Truly a feast for the eyes and the soul. Shelley, you've outdone yourself. Thank you.[3]
