Welcome to Tarnochtai Publishing by Michael A. McGrath. There are no pornographic images on this website. There are, however, artistic portrayals of the naked human body. Many of these images may include the reproductive organs (i.e. the penis, the testicles and the vagina). Some of these images are of a serious nature, and some are humorous. Nude art can be pornographic in nature, or it can glorify the Creator of the naked human body. Michael A. McGrath, the owner and creator of Tarnochtai Publishing and the artwork on this website, believes that the more we see the naked human body, the less we (as a culture) will objectify (and thus sin against) our own bodies and the bodies of other men, women and children. The nude paintings, sculptures and illustrations for sale on this site are intended to normalize the naked body as the acceptable skin God created for us to live in on this earth. For those viewers who may be offended by artwork that displays the naked human figure, please do not enter this website! For those visitors who are under the age of 18, please do not enter this site without a parent or legal guardian’s approval and/or personal supervision!

Many internet websites cater to the sinful nature of the natural man by representing the naked human body as an object of lustful thinking and sinful behavior. The natural man, however, cannot understand nor discern the things of God, for these things are spiritually understood and discerned. This website is an attempt to present the naked human body in the way that it was originally intended to be viewed: as the masterpiece of God, and as the Temple of the Holy Spirit, with awe, appreciation, thanksgiving, and, in some instances, with laughter. We, at Tarnochtai Publishing, believe that hiding the naked human body is to hide the very image of God. To hide this wonderful image is contrary to the original design of the Creator who made mankind in His image and after His likeness, naked and unashamed. (See Genesis 1:26-31 & Isaiah 5:20). This image was never meant to be hidden, nor was it meant to be used as a sinful object. It was meant to be revealed and celebrated as the wonder that it is - a glorious representation of the image of the Living God, a replica of His divine nature.

You are invited to enter this site, and to face the wonderful exhibit of our humanity, leaving behind the perverted imagery of this world, and adopting the thoughts and intents of the Living God, who created you in his image and after his likeness, male and female, and called you “very good.”
