Last year, my Cousin Dale announced his adult daughter Tessa has oral cancer. There were insurance issues and his blue collar family was having trouble putting together funds for treatment, time lost from work, doctorās appointments, etc. He put together a GoFundMe account at: https://www.gofundme.com/vndn488k
Myself and my parents kicked in, but Dale is far short of the $10,000 goal. Iām struggling too. Here at home, I have severe debt and my car is falling apart. I constantly feel as if Iām living from one crisis to another.
So, I had an idea.
Iāve got two pieces up for sale. Proceeds to go to Tessaās Cancer Fund.

Do NOT save the date! SMUT 3 has been postponed until after DomCon LA. The prints and flyers will feature different dates and artists, making this piece a unique collector’s piece. Click the photo to purchase the original art. All my proceeds from this sale go to Tessa’s Cancer Fund.
One is the original poster art for the upcoming SMUT 3 art show. The date has been officially postponed, which also means weāll have a different roster of artists. What this means is, the final posters and flyers will be different from the original art, making this a unique piece.
This piece is currently on Etsy for $200 plus S&H at https://www.etsy.com/listing/273156…

I’ve realized I have to change something if I’m going to get serious about painting. The boot is coming along well, but painting takes lots of time. Trying to update about these paintings is literally like watching paint dry (no seriously, the paint was still curing when I took this photo).Ā It’s almost there, I’m redoing the reflection in the buckle and the chrome.
Next up is “Hot Rod Boot” AKA āManeaterā, an acrylic painting on 11×14 canvas of a high heeled boot styled like a hot rod. Thatās the pic of the canvas up top. The boot has flames, tailpipes, and a shark teeth smile. Iāve been working on this piece every morning for about two months before I go to work at my vanilla driving gig.
The painting was conceived of as a learning experience, where I could focus more time and effort than one of my typical art pieces.
I was going to try some form of bidding process through the GoFundMe page, but realized that wouldnāt work out right. So, Iām asking $350, plus shipping and handling. Payment to be made through Etsy. Photos of the work in progress are available through my Facebook page and of course on FetishArtist.net
Thereās more that can be done, but at the moment Iām stretched thin. Iāve had ideas like using E-bay instead of Etsy and sending out smaller pieces in exchange for smaller donations. That will have to come later.
One last very important thing to mention, Tessa doesnāt know me and I barely know Dale. That side of the family doesnāt know much about my artwork, and my involvement in fetish and BDSM. Tessa doesnāt even know Iām doing this. Iām just trying to help out. All proceeds I receive from these pieces will be donated to the cancer fund.
I know there are collectors out there and this is a way I can take what I do and use it to help someone in need. To my friends in the fetish world, please share this.
