This Christmas gift to Lady Alshari was given by her devoted admirer, who explained a little about her for the briefing. I learnt that she is, among other skills, a “bisexual techno-nerd”, so this gave me the idea of her playing on a tablet with electrical connection to a stimulant connected to a female subject. The male she sits on is also useful – he plays the role of a chair, a needle cushion (the mistress enjoys needle play) but also whip and ash-tray holder. Www.Facebook.de/ladyalshari

Please remember if you are commissioning for a birthday to leave a few months as there is usually a waiting list for commissioned artwork.
Over 17 years ago I illustrated a story for legendary magazine Leg Show by writer Irv O’Neil and now he has been republished it as his own e-book. See the original artwork and details about the book.
Happy 2016 to all my readers! A safe and healthy new year to you all!
A few days ago I blogged about one of my two newest ebooks, THE SINS OF DR. JEKYLL. Today I’d like to tell you about…
IN TRANCE FOR A TRAMP…
Wherein my submissive hero Timmy experiences an incredible night of deep and lasting degradation! (Which he can’t resist and he deeply enjoys…)
Do you like the cover? This girl really looks like trouble, doesn’t she? I am very fond of 1950s paperback books, with their femme fatale cover girls, and this model projects that same spirit. The image, which I found at a stock photography house, was shot by “xalanx” whose portfolio you can see here. I also used one of his images for the cover of RULE BY CLEAVAGE (read about that book here).
Getting back to the noir paperback aspects, even the typeface I selected for the title…
Last summer I had the great pleasure of meeting the charming Mrs Weltsova in London, on vacation from her home in New York . She is a lady of East European extraction and passionately devoted to the disciplinary arts.
We had previously become acquainted online and had both been invited to a summer Femdom party near London but owing to an unfortunate cancellation we arranged to meet up anyway so as not to waste the evening. After a delicious Japanese meal and an introduction for her to the London pub, I took the opportunity of gifting her a book I illustrated many years ago-“Queen of the Grove”.
I had been producing illustrations for an occasional journal “The Governess” in the early ’90s. Apart from the watercolours which is my usual technique these days, I was also developing a style of black & white illustration – itself reminiscent of an earlier era.
“The Governess” magazine also produced a number of books for which illustrations were commissioned and this book was the first of them – and to my mind the best – a collection of stories by the pseudonymous Louise Malatesta. Over one summer I was quite inspired to develop this dramatic monochrome style, and the book sold well, published by Chardmore Press who still retain the rights. You can buy a e-book version here, though the printed book is definitely worth acquiring if you can find it.
Mrs Weltsova was delighted with the book and commissioned me to reprise this style in a set of artwork for one of her own stories called The Secret Garden.

The Secret Garden No 2
The Secret Garden No 3
The style is still there. But though much is still drawn with brush and ink, a lot of digital modification goes on after scanning, replacing the traditional method of erasing pencil lines and altering by white paint (with resultant crumpled paper!)
