Action by platform: Account Removal

When?: August 31, 2026

What happened?:

I had posted some close up reels of me making my ink drawings. I was given a few warnings, and each time I removed the offending posts and reels. However, there was no indication that my account would be suspended for these infractions against their community guidelines. And I just figured it was simple line drawings of the nude form with an emphasis on the buttocks. Then one time, on the night of August 31st, I reposted a couple of reels which had been fairly popular in the past. As a result, I woke up the next morning to see that my account was suspended. Below, I have included some samples of my work, plus a drawing I did for an Italian Art Gallery (it is one of the closeup reels of this very drawing that got me in trouble with Instagram's censors).
