Garry Marsden

Garry Marsden is an amateur cartoonist, illustrator and occasional author vaguely connected to The Cynosure Collective. He has submitted transgender-themed artwork to various websites and online publications, including DopplerPress, BigCloset Topshelf, Petticoat Pond, Sandy Thomas Publications, Petticoat Discipline Quarterly, Princess Productions, Carol Jean's Art of Petticoat Punishment and FictionMania amongst others. Naturally, they all turned him down.

Early Career
Garry Marsden first came to public attention at the age of eighteen, when he used his college tuition to finance a low-circulation newsletter entitled D-Cup Delights. A mimeographed tabloid aimed at 'the sophisticated reader,' the paper sold well enough to establish Marsden's reputation with local authorities, all of whom followed his progress with considerable interest.

Released from prison the following year, Marsden used his publishing experience and underworld connections to open a 'comics' store (you know the kind) in his home town. Unfortunately, this potentially lucrative venture was terminated when his parole officer noticed that the business was located next to a Domestic Employment Agency (you know the kind). Marsden has since described this as "the greatest opportunity" he'd ever missed.

Subsequently labeled a threat to the nation's youth, Marsden placed his career temporarily on hold and enrolled at nearby Miskatonic University the following year. Majoring in Visual art with an option in Necromantic Studies, Marsden quickly distinguished himself by producing a series of 'Nature Films' (you know the kind) for a Swedish philanthropic group known as The International Lolita Society. Rumors that he had, in fact, diverted campus funds to finance production were never proven, and Marsden graduated from his course with first class honors.

Barely escaping prosecution on bribery charges, Marsden was finally free to carve out a niche for himself. Turning to the only career option still available to an individual of his unusual talents, he accepted a position editing Wikipedia full-time. This, for Garry Marsden, was the turning point.

The Wikipedia Years
Having finally stumbled across a website with literally no standards whatsoever, Garry immediately set about flooding Wikimedia Commons with low-grade filth professionally rendered CGI, illustrating such preeminent articles as Panchira, Eroge, Hentai, Ecchi and anything else even vaguely related to women's underwear. Needless to say, his contributions did not go unnoticed by the encyclopedia's cognoscenti, and the responses were as swift as they were illuminating:


 * Spanking, cross-dressing a boy in stockings and suspenders, images of clearly drawn genitalia are not sexual? And I suppose the drawing of a medical instrument spreading a glistening, pink vagina is for educational purposes?

In reply to these inquiries, Garry reminded the community that Commons is not censored and that Wikipedia is the free encyclopedia that anybody can edit. Quote:


 * I don't care if it ain't got no plot! I don't care if it ain't got no story! I don't care if it ain't got no art! All I care about is gettin' snakes, phallic symbols, fetishes, paraphilias an' all them fancy words I can't remember right now onta each an' every page!!
