Why We’re Here

Back to Life

I’m sorry for the site being offline for so long.  It’s been an interesting week.  Last Monday, without any warning, my web hosting company suspended my account and sent me a notice that this site had been shut down because it was using up more than its “fair share” of the server resources.  They said it was probably from some glitch in a script being run by the main blog program.  They told me that once I fixed the problem the site could be opened up again.  But they didn’t give me any information about what script it might be, or any specifics on what a “fair share” of server resources would be.   Thanks for nothing.  So I spent a couple days feeling like this:

After a few days digging around in forums and such, I figured out what was probably causing the problem and how it could be fixed.  So I contacted the hosting company, told them I’d figured out how to fix things, and asked them to open the site up enough so I could get access to the blog admin panel and install the fix.  They told me they couldn’t give me access until I’d fixed the problem – despite that I had to have access to do it.  Catch-22.  I felt kinda like the poor elf in the middle here:

During the next few days of standoff, while looking through the hosts FAQ’s and stuff to find a way to go over the heads of the junior web cops who were making things impossible for me, I discovered that the host had changed its Terms of Service sometime during the past year and no longer allowed sites with “Mature Content.”  Hmmm.  I mellowed some and decided that even though the current lock-out sucked, I was maybe lucky no one there had actually taken a look at Morphians sometime earlier and busted me cuz of all the fucking and sucking going on here.  This discovery about the hosts new prudishness, along with its fucked-up refusal to let me get into the site to fix my resources problem, led me to the conclusion that me and that host had pretty much reached this point:

So, I searched around till I found a new “adult friendly” host with the features I wanted, arranged for them to be able to transfer all the files for the site, and bid my old hosting company a fond farewell:

It took a couple days for that to get accomplished, and then a couple more for me to at least temporarily fix the php script problems that had started the whole adventure and repair a few other things that had gotten sorta screwed up by the move.  Now, finally, I think things are put together enough for me to put Morphians back online.  You most likely will find some things that still aren’t quite right – let me know if you do so I can try to deal with them.

While I was looking around for solutions to my scripting problem, I found some new stuff that has me thinking about doing a major overhaul of the site.  I may decide to do that sometime in the future.  But for now, I’ve had enough of dealing with website mechanics.  After a little R and R, I’m going to get back to making pictures of pretty boys for you all to spend time with:

So, enjoy.

Street Kids – The Chase

This summer I’ve been seeing lots more street kids in my hometown than I remember there being in other years.  Maybe it’s the economy, or that the weather here has been warmer than usual, with hardly any rain, for about the past 6 weeks.   Anyway, for whatever reason, they’re here.  When I say “street kids,” I guess I’m referring mostly to boys in their early teens who look like they’re homeless.  They look way too young to be living out on their own.  But they are – scrounging food and spare change during the day and sleeping under bridges or in abandoned buildings.

Some of them seem to hang out regularly in a couple spots I pass going to or from work or home or school.   A few times I’ve stopped to talk  with a group of the kids in one or another of those spots and I’ve gotten to know a few of them well enough to invite them over to our place for a meal or to get a hot shower.  In doing so, I’ve found that most of them, rather than feeling sad and hopeless about how they’re living, seem to see themselves as being on a sort of heroic adventure.   And I’m starting to think that maybe they are.

They’ve broken free from being controlled, and often abused, by their families or other adults.  They live in packs where they provide each other with companionship and support.  They’re not hung-up about having to own the newest whatever, or about what they wear, or about sex.  Most of them don’t seem ashamed or uptight about getting the money they need by trading sex for it.  And they try to always work in pairs, which seems to keep them pretty safe from harm.

I feel lucky that I’ve gotten to see the beauty behind the usually rough exteriors of these boys.  So in the next few weeks I’m going to be manipulating some pixels to try to portray some of that beauty.   Even though I’ll be giving the boys in my pics names, none of the pics are of actual, live boys – they’re just representations, usually over idealized, of the nature of some of the street kids I’ve been fortunate to meet.

The star of the first series is  “Chase,”  or, as he likes to call himself, “The Chase.”  While he’s sort of scruffy and unwashed, he’s also usually irrepressibly happy and is a joy to be around.  To see him, click on the image below or on this link: The Chase

Time for Some Torture

I’ve been posting some of my work over at the Deviant Art site. I’m not sure why it’s called “Deviant,” cuz some of it’s pretty mainstream.  It does have a lot of people submitting yaoi and B/L things, though.  But it doesn’t allow “sexually explicit” stuff.  Since most of what I do isn’t exactly PG, I’ve never posted much there in the past.  Recently a friend prodded me into putting up some relatively tame pics from a few of the series I’ve posted here.  So I did.  And then I did a few “R” or “PG-13″ versions of some previously “X” rated stuff.

That was cool, and I got quite a few nice comments and stuff about them.  So, just for the hell of it, I did a few new non-erotic pieces to put up there.  I like some of them enough that I may post a few here sometime, but in case any of you just can’t wait to see my sexless art, you can drop by my gallery page at DA by clicking here:  EvanHath.

Unfortunately, while the site has protected my morals by restricting my exposure to sex, it places no limits on the posting of BDSM stuff (except if it’s sexually explicit, of course).  So, naturally, that loophole has attracted my interest and I’ve been expanding my capacities for doing erotic but non-explicit BDSM art.  I find that I enjoy working in that area of depravity almost as much as I like doing raw sex.  What’s the most fun of all, though, is being able to do BDSM art that contains hard sex.  And, even though I can’t post it at DA, lucky for me there is a place where I can.

So, from time to time you’ll have the opportunity to view some of my twisted Too Porno for Prime-Time BDSM work right here.   In fact, you can see some right now by clicking on the image below or on this link:  Torture Time.

Twins Again

A few months ago I posted part of a series about a traveler who found lodging for a night, and the pleasures of twin companions to share it with him:  Twins-Once Upon a Time.

I’ve done some more pics for the series and put up a new page with them.  To check them out, click on the image below or on this link: Traveler and Twins – Part 2
