A few months back I got some stickers for El Cuervo gallery, and found myself walking with my sketchbook into another gallery. Not wanting to dis the gallery, I asked if they had stickers, like El Cuervo. This way I could include their logo next to the El Cuervo logo on my sketchbook. They said no, but did not take offense, and it got me thinking.
If my favorite galleries I’m on good terms with, don’t have stickers, maybe I can craft up some sticker art for them. Even if they don’t run with it, I can have a sticker for the gallery for my sketchpad and share the love.
On my list of course was New Profanity. I cooked this up over the past couple of weeks. I think it captures some of the wild side of the gallery without completely washing over it with my own branding. I could have done a full body Dominatrix, but I don’t think it would have represented what the gallery was about. It’s grrl-centric. Got a naughty streak, and a little kinky, with a lot of love. This is a rough scan, the next step is to add some color.
Speaking of which, I’ve got a flyer in progress for DomCon LA 2017. All I’m missing is a high rez logo to drop in. Save the date! This is coming down May 17-21st at the Hilton LAX. Go to DomConLA.com for details.
Gotta go, catch you later!

Quick! There’s no time to explain! Get in and hang on!!
Last night, Devil Mask Society’s Kinbaku at the Overflow bar in Downtown Los Angeles was awesome! Drawing workshops, nude and not, are popping up all over Southern California, many at bars and breweries. This is the first I’ve seen featuring rope bondage, and it’s an awesome idea.
My experience with drinking and drawing sucks. The alcohol is an instant confidence drainer when walking into a new place, and I hate just ordering a coke. It looks cheap and dorky for a first impression in a pricey bar. I bewildered Ernie the bartender with an order for a virgin mary, but he didn’t give me much trouble. Later, I got a Coranado IPA, and tipped big to keep my welcome for next time. That tasty beer is an ass kicker though. Taking the subway down paid off. No parking issues and I got to sober up on the way home.
The models and rigger stay sober for the workshop. So bondage purists can rest at ease. Mellissa, the rigger’s partner, was the main model, but a well muscled sissy sub in a pink dress and green heels alternated as a model for the night for her Mistress. When not modeling, the sissy sub acted as a drawing board for her Domme. I sincerely salute these efforts, and both female and male artists respected this scene.
The major difference of note between this and other drawing workshops is the pose times here are longer. Allowing you to relax and get in more details on your work. While there were only about 5 poses for the night, it worked out much better for what I like to do.
I’ll update more contact info for the next event as time progresses. A simple search of DevilMaskSociety, and KinbakuDTLA on Fetlife should yield quick results. If you’re following me on Instagram, just follow the hashtags for DevilMaskSociety and #TheOverflowDTLA for more details.
It may stop, but it never ends. I’ve got to put the hammer down and roll out. Later!

There’s been a lot going on lately, it’s just most hasn’t been my artwork. For about three months I’ve had a huge change in my schedule for the driving gig and a major priority as we prepare for the Electric Blue project. I’ve had a very hard rule, no new projects. No new paintings, no new sculptures, no engineering projects, nothing involving taking up extra space, until old projects are off the table. Double Domination above is a great example. That got finished up last month. Same goes for Danger, High Voltage. This stuff needs to get wrapped up so I can not only make space for whatever Electric Blue throws my way, but also new projects that would go much smoother and faster if I had additional work space.
I have been shooting video blogs, and finished fixing my old leather vest that has been taking up space.
I have made an exception for pen and ink art, which takes up much less space, and if you’ve been following me on Twitter and Instagram, you’ve been rewarded with my progress on the DomCon LA Flyer.
So, let me quickly share what’s coming up this month. As you may have noticed in the video blogs, New Profanity on Melrose has their 420 show in the works. El Cuervo gallery in El Segundo has their 3 Chords punk rock art show opening Saturday.
La Luz de Jesus gallery is showing Vow of Silence (In Convents), the fetish photography of Karen Hsiao. Her work centers around eerie nuns in bondage with gags. The pieces are disturbing and calming at the same time, and can easily see one in the waiting room for a Dominatrix with issues from Catholic school. What? I’m not saying this like it’s a bad thing. Check out the catalog at http://laluzdejesus.com/houston-miso-hsiao. The big opening reception (with free booze and snacks) is Friday, April 7th, 8-11 P.M.
Oh I wish! If only this was going on at the sketching workshops! 🙂 This piece is for sale. Click image for Etsy listing.
There’s a lot of model drawing workshops lately. By now, you should already know about the Tom of Finland workshop, Gallery Girls, and Model Drawing Collective at Titmouse. None of those feature bondage, unless it it somehow cosplay related or such. DTLA Art Walk Kinbaku is changing that. On April 13th, Devil Mask Society and Overflow are presenting a model drawing workshop featuring rope bondage. There’s no cover, art supplies will be provided and it does appear to be open to the kinky public at large. Check out https://fetlife.com/events/537558 for more details.
I’m going to Sherman Oaks Munch next week at Sportsman’s Lodge, and will try to make it to Miss Cassie’s rope munch at Lair De Sade on Wednesday night. I’ll try to keep you up to date on more with the video blog at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-MSpWUasQtwd3N4ZchIRpg
