I am a professional  artist and photographer.  I am particularly interested in life drawing and painting, tattoo art and the Japanese art of Shibari/Kimbaku -erotic rope work. With current legislation it is not possible to show too much of these style of drawings on this site. I am now looking to work with a fetish-inclined model, in a variety of agreed vanilla or shibari situations, lightly clothed or nude, in return for fees or giving them some of  the charcoal drawings or paintings, which they can have to keep in their portfolio -or use as they wish. Safety is very important and I always explain and agree with the model exactly what kind of pose and, for shibari, rope patterns I would like to use.

I like to experiment and discuss with willing models how creatively the fantasy can be depicted. Currently the drawings are a way of me experimenting and not for publication. I fully respect the model's identity and never publish anything without the model's written permission.

Sometimes I will try and recreate an erotic image which I -or the model- has found, especially special effects, massage oils, body painting and tattoos -which is typical in traditional Japanese Kimbaku illustration.

I have been invited to exhibit my work at national fetish-style events but I want to find a fetish model who can work with me and inspire erotic and or fetish images and promote her own modelling skills at the same events.

My little gallery includes a few photographs, although I prefer to draw and paint now. I will be adding more illustrations shortly. The best results often come where the model really contributes to the ideas.
