Big and Black! More Art Paddle in Progress

Art is a fix. Painting is one of the most problematic of art addictions, and being on deadline isn’t helping. When painting, it’s much harder to put a piece down. You just have to keep tweaking things. This conflicts with things like time for paint to dry, sleep, and a day job.

Sometimes, you also have to step away from the piece to work things out, which is hard to do when on a deadline, and can’t put the brush down because you’re messing with other things.

Above is not the actual current progress. I’m feeling much better about the piece now that I’ve added in some more black paint, shading, and highlights. More to come.

I’ve also been working on Kayla’s paddle and realized I’ve made an oddball mistake. Her paddle is a clear label version of the Eat My Valentine art. I printed the label Friday and was going to do something with it today when I realized, the artwork is bigger than the paddle. I’m still not sure what went wrong where, but I need to re-size the art and print out another copy.

Leatherman Art: How’s This Rick?

Beefy leatherman art for paddle to go in Antebellum Fetish Art Show

Rick Castro of Antebellum fetish art gallery wants it big and black. In the middle of the chaotic storm I call the driving gig, he dropped me a line asking if I could whip up a paddle featuring black men for his upcoming art show in July.

Friday morning a cut a piece of paddle size sketch paper and by the time I was sitting down with Sherry for dinner Friday night, I already had a sketch going. There’s not enough ass in this house to use as reference material for the muscle man ass I want in this picture, but I’ve been able to piece together enough from memory and what stuff I’ve got on hand (there’s never a drawing of Captain America getting a spanking when you need it).

Even though the deadline is three weeks away, I’ve got to get the paddle sketched, painted and then start adding clear coats.  So the sooner I get this wrapped up, the better. Once completed, this piece will be exclusive to Antebellum until the show is over, and will be come with the ephemera. While I reserve the copy rights, I’m not planning to do anything with the sketches until after the show. So if it sells at Antebellum, it’s gone. No cards, no prints.

Sorry if there’s a bit too much testosterone in here for the hets right now, but this is the nature of the fetish art business. The guy who bought the leatherman paddle on Etsy has also insisted on more leatherman work. So it’s time to get crankin!

Latex Fetish Femdom Enema Art: Paid In Full

Latex Fetish Femdom Enema Art: Paid In FullThis Femdom art piece got started at the Tom of Finland Foundation, and if you’ve been following me on Twitter and Instagram, you’ve been seeing the censored versions as it has been in progress.

When I started it, I already imagined it as a latex fetish piece. Aside from the shoes, the model was nude. The latex, cuffs and gas mask got added in right way. At DomCon, I was adding in the enema bag and inflatable plug, intending to color them in with blue Micron pen, and sketching in a Dominatrix on the right.

A friend at DomCon pulled me aside at one point, asking me about pieces featuring enemas. I was stymied for a second, and he thought I was embarrassed. Quite the contrary, I’ve done a few pieces featuring enema gear. However, I couldn’t remember which originals, if any, were available. So I showed him this piece. He paid me on the spot, and I’ll need to deliver it to Sanctuary soon.

I wrote “paid in full” on the piece to remind me the piece was paid for. It somehow seemed appropriate for a title.

The piece itself actually freaked out Sherry a bit. She’s glad to see it gone. Personally, I think it was a great experiment, and I’m already pondering a couple more tasteful enema related drawings.

By the way Transformation Magazine did an interview with me last week, and I’m planning to set up some banners for them here on the site. Just one of many things left to do after DomCon.
