Project Begin

"The word macrophile is derived from the Latin roots macro, meaning "large", and phile, meaning, loosely, "lover". It was initially coined to refer to a person who experienced a sexual response to situations involving creatures of greatly differing size. In such a situation, one of the creatures must of necessity be a "giant" in relation to the other, and thus macrophile was considered to be a suitably comprehensive term."
-Samuel Ramses, M.D., Ph.D.
If you have not come here by accident, I feel it is safe to assume this concept is not new to you. Chances are that you are either a macrophile yourself, or were linked here by one. If the latter, don't worry, there will be little, if anything, on this page that is particularly disturbing (which is to imply there are certain images in this community which would be rather jarring to those not acclimated to it). However, if you are particularly peevish about this sort of imagery, I would suggest leaving.
I do not feel that the depiction of giant beings (in this site's case, giant women specifically) is, or should be, entirely relegated to fetish drawings and pornography. Historically and contemporaneously, the world over, giant women have found their home in art, film, and literature. While it cannot be said that everyone who has engaged this imagery, or who appreciates it, is necessarily a macrophile, I can say that there certainly appears to be a particularly alluring quality to it all. Perhaps there is a bias on my part, but even images with no fetishistic overtones seem to be charged with some sort of primal, libidinal energy.

The purpose of this site is to present these pieces of art, classical and common-day, and muse on their meanings, both artistically and psychologically. This is both for the viewer, and for myself, as the urge to explore art and the psychology behind which has existed in my mind for years, and this seems to be a particularly appropriate way to do so, given my more perverse fantasies.

Of particular focus will be fine art, paintings and the like, although this is by no means limiting. There is no hard or fast distinction for 'fine art' in this case, although the majority of the content will be that which lacks the fetish flair of most giantess art. While keeping in mind that much of the art may still have some sexual charge, if you are only looking for pornography, this is not the place to do so. Also, if there is something you have drawn or found which you think deserves to be on the site, I urge you, please contact me. I am always looking for new material.

Not to be too dramatic, but from here we move into uncharted waters. There is much to explore, and I hope you will all join in the experience with me.
