The Ashtray Cabinet

Generally I have to limit the amount of commissioning work now because of my age and health but apart from portraits I do enjoy drawing out fantasies, the weirder the better.

A smoking fetishist I had known for many years presented me with this commission, which was irresistible. He wanted to be held captive in a cabinet, totally encased in leather and only used as an ashtray by prison wardens in uniform.

There are in fact two ashtrays – one attached to the mouth, where he can smell the newly stubbed out ash and another hung from his shoulders , with a hole and tube at the bottom which can serve as an additional punishment.

Spoilt Princess Grace meets BLACKBEARD THE PIRATE book cover

I quite forgot to blog about this painting I made last year for the cover of a new e-book by Irv O. Neil. Last summer I had received a commission to make a painting of a female pirate, and the idea was born of using it as the cover of his e-book .

Irv tells the story of the genesis of the book much better than me so I have reblogged his entry.

Well, my new erotica ebook is published and available on Amazon now, the 18th century tale I’ve talked about on this blog over the last couple of …

“The Greeting”

For this illustration to the back cover of Lady Saylie’s femdom novel,
I was given quite free rein to develop a subject of my own choosing
but with the only condition that she herself was to be shown only from
the back .While this might sound limiting as I’m used to showing faces
from the front, it allowed me to develop something unusual .
The Lady stands at the doorway to her own stone dungeon and beckons
her friend to come down and see -she smiles nervously but curiously as
it is her first time to visit . Within the dungeon is an ancient
circular table with various whips and clips and deeper within, a
couple of victims bound to a pillar illuminated by dim lamps.

The first part of LadySaylie’s novel trilogy in French

DOM’INNATE – naissance d’une domina

is now on sale – send mail to ladysaylie@gmail.com

“Lady Saylie delivers a spicy, dynamic, frantic first novel, inspired
by her extraordinary life. Extraordinary lives are common to dommes
around the world. It is with discretion, sensibility and game power
that these women give life to the fantasised worlds of their subs,
slaves, and fetishists — men and women who have incredible pasts, too.
In this first opus, Lady Saylie tells us how she became a dominatrix
when she was a struggling student in New York. This first volume takes
the reader on a trip through New York warehouses, Saylie’s small flat
and chic Parisian hotels.”

(The English version will be published in June)

Portrait of Zara duRose

A simple portrait of Mistress Zara duRose .

She wears a long evening dress and fur stole and drinks champagne from an ice bucket held by one of her loyal – and long-suffering -slaves.

The theme of the portrait is based around roses so – highlighted in rose pink -her russet hair, lips, gloves and heels…and of course roses in the patterning of the wallpaper.

Portrait of Huntress Artemis

In this simple portrait of Huntress Artemis commissioned by one of her personal submissives we see her relaxing on a cage in infernal surroundings, wearing a tight dress and sipping a warm drink . A decorative arch with entwined slaves surrounds her, rising from the flames .
Confined within the cage below, her slaves struggle to kiss her feet which is all they are permitted.

Portrait of Mistress Eve

Mistress Eve from the Netherlands, in black boots and simple black corset, is seen here in a dungeon setting where prospective admirers gaze at her beauty through a thorn-like window.
Are they trying to escape or are maybe desperate to come in?
Another, more privileged, is locked into a hanging cage within the dungeon.

The commissioner of this painting, blurred by request, kneels before her, while she pulls on his leash – one boot on his back symbolising her dominance.

Portrait of Maîtresse Sybil

“Maîtresse Sybil from the south of France, dressed in a black sheath dress, uses one of her slaves as a human chair while the other (the commissioner of this portrait) is tightly bound upside-down to a wheel beside her, with a gag that also serves an ashtray. He must wait for as long as it takes her to finish her cigarette. But what happens when she revolves the wheel around?

He will be covered in her ash, of course – what a treat for him!”

Tribute to Miss Kitty

Earlier this year Miss Kitty passed away. A distinctive presence in the Manchester scene with the most effervescent personality that I can remember.

I met her first for one of my “sketchmeets” at Euston Station on her return to Manchester from London, and though she seemed very happy with the outcome it was admittedly not one of the best sketches I have made. Maybe because the train was coming in 20 minutes and I felt under pressure.

Later I was commissioned to paint her portrait by one of her devotees and as reference arranged to meet her once more in London in a break from her immensely packed schedule. This time I was late because of some train delay and we only ended up with half an hour for me to sketch . It was useful even if I only managed the barest of lines and later on I finished the sketch at home . I was pleased with this one and I felt it caught her character.

You can see the finished commission in this post .

When I heard that Miss Kitty had passed I wanted to show my own appreciation of her in a watercolour. In this Miss Kitty is standing at the foot of the Pearly Gates of heaven. But she makes no concessions for her new home . She is dressed in shiny black and ready for some fun!

It is planned to display this portrait at the Bitches UnleaSHEd party.
