Fetish Art News: Michael Manning

Fetish artist Michael Manning’s exhibition at Rubber Cult in the UK.

Fetish artist Michael Manning sends me updates, through his website TheSpiderGarden.net, and while at Antebellum’s group show in October, he and I talked. He’s given me permission to forward you the news from his updates, and some of the great artwork he shares in them.

He’s had a great year. Manning opened his studio to the public for a special event. Photos are posted at http://metalweb.livejournal.com/158500.html and it’s definitely worth checking out.  There is talk about doing these open house exhibitions more frequently, and I’m game to have a look next time.

The big news in 2014 was his solo art show at Rubber Cult in London. Rubber cult is one of the world’s hottest parties for latex and rubber lovers, and this is great recognition of his work.

Michael Manning's Fetish art prints are available in color and black & white in a variety of sizes. Prices range from $25 to $125 depending on the size and piece.

But you don’t have to travel to the UK to recognize his latex fantasies. Michael Manning has a limited edition set of aluminum prints available. Even low budget Fetish enthusiasts can afford these, and the sizes range from 4″ wide and go up from there. So it’s easy to collect his works and be discrete.

Michael Manning Original Fetish Art

While Michael Manning’s largest Fetish art pieces can be pricey, some, like lips here can be reasonable. This original 6″x5″ goes for $125. Click the image to purchase.

Manning also has quite a few originals for sale. While he’s known for larger fetish art pieces, he seems to have created some smaller works for quick consumption. As much as I love his pen and ink work, Manning’s color accents are right on the money.

But this isn’t just about the past, and selling stuff, Manning has big gaming news for 2015. He has been commissioned to illustrate the role playing game, Chronicles of Gor, based on John Norman’s bizarre novels that influenced much of the early BDSM scene. Look for the game coming soon from Postmortem Studios.

Coming in 2015 to Lustomic.com is his second book of the Gemini Complex, engorging further Manning’s  series of futanari transgender characters.  Also look for a new Spider Garden portfolio to debut in 2015, with new characters from his universe of sci-fi, latex, gender bending and lots of hardcore sex.

I wish Manning very well this year, and seriously want to check out the studio if he does another open house this year.

Speaking of which, I’ll try to get at least one more post out before 2015, and certainly plan to have a retrospective of Fetish-artist.com’s 2014 artwork. I’ll be at the Los Angeles Comic Book and Sci-Fi Expo January 11th at the Shrine Auditorium, and will have news about that soon.
