This is a very specific post about a very specific kind of art, so we'll understand if not everyone is totally into it. Then again, who doesn't love a pair of panties pulled over a nice looking ass? John Kacere certainly did. He was a photorealist painter who apparently had a thing for silky bottoms, since pretty much every example we've found of his artwork is a closeup of a lady's barely-covered backside. Or maybe it was just the ass itself that grabbed his attention? Whatever it was, it must have taken a lot of careful scrutiny of those behinds to produce reproductions so finely detailed that, at first glance, they could be confused for actual photos. So if you like rear ends or panties or some combination of the two, you're going to like what John was up to. If not, then we just feel sorry for you.
