WTF! Tom of Finland Workshop and Catching up.

Femdom Art: Domination 3 Way

The Tom of Finland drawing workshop is today. Even though I’m working with male models, doesn’t limit the work to gay art. This piece started with the guy on the chair, and I added everything in after.

The scale of things that have gone wrong and sideways has gone out of control. For us, it started last weekend when our trip to pick up a band saw turned into a comedy of errors. Just changing a flat tire required three AAA guys. Wednesday morning, I found someone bent the bumper in on Sherry’s truck so far that it looked like the tire would not turn right. That same day I got put on administrative leave at the driving job, and found out my buddy who came to visit the SMUT art show went down on his motorcycle, breaking his arm and headlight on the bike.

Cuir Rider

In honor of my friend Dave. Get well soon buddy!

It’s like an angel of heaven decided to blow on the What the Fuck! horn of revelations! Did I mention the union called me out of the blue to say we may be going on strike next week!?

I do have some good news though. The stickers did very well at SMUT. So well that I dropped a line to my friends at C&D Visionary aka Electric Inks to see if I could do a professional run of stickers. They’re game!

Batwing Girl designed for club

This is the first sticker I’m going to have printed. I just need to make some alterations about the line quality.

To find out which was most popular, I simply checked how many I had left. Batwing Bondage Girl had the least leftovers, and the most compliments. So I’ll make the lines on the wings a little thicker, and have them printed up on vinyl.

In fetish art news, the folks over at Oglaf have collaborated with Dinasour Comics to do a special guest comic strip for Oh Joy Sex Toy. It is well written, with great artwork by the Oglaf crew and color by Erika. Like most of Oh Joy Sex Toy, it’s fun and you’ve got to see it. It’s about exploring sexual fetishes and the three greatest safe for work fetishes, or how to get your jollies off in public without getting arrested or blocked on youtube 🙂

Girls with Guitars: Betty

Just to keep in theme.

Coming ahead. Sister Sin has announced that they are about to tour the United States. I believe dates will be announced this week. So be ready to rock out to what I’ve called Femdom metal. They really kick ass!

Sportsman’s Lodge is now home to a munch again! The Sherman Oaks munch has decided to change their venue to the River Rock restaurant and bar at the Sportsman’s Lodge. This is huge news for those of us who have partied many times at the lodge. It was home to Kane and Carenna’s social before they founded Lair De Sade. The date is coming up this Tuesday, April 14th. With all the insanity, I don’t know if I’ll make it, but I will try. For details, go to https://fetlife.com/groups/19693/group_posts/6878646

Here’s hoping things get better for everyone very soon.

SMUT a Success!!

Posted on March 30, 2015 by Jay Moyes

Booth at SMUT An Art Show for Your Kinky Side

I’ve been typing for about half an hour on social media here and there about SMUT last night. We’re still trying to round up some photos. I got a shot of my booth, but held back on photographing the rooms and crowds because I got overwhelmed with attendees and I try to respect guests who don’t want to be photographed at shows like this.

Latex Bondage Art: Wand Rider

The most popular piece in the whole show! Yet, no takers. And this wasn’t front and center. It was in the lower left corner and dozens of guests pointed at it and said “I love it!” This will get added to the card sets available at Domcon.

But it was awesome! The show was a huge success. Two friends from outside the scene dropped by to check it out, and they stayed until closing! They were there after I left! Honestly, I thought some of the entertainment would be seen as old or dated, like the grinder girl dance, but the crowd just ate up the performance as sparks flew across the main floor and the energy in the place was fantastic.

This piece found a good home at the art show. It is rare that originals move at night club events. So I’m very pleased Fetish Boot in Latex Dungeon was adopted.

On the downside, I think I was one of the few artists who sold, but they just simply put pieces up, walked away, and didn’t have a way to make the art more accessible like selling prints. Most customers for events like this are low-end buyers, but they are great for impulse buys. I’m thinking of doing an article about this on the safe for work wordpress blog. There were some really good pieces out there, but they weren’t set to move quickly.

BDSM Art: Sadistic Skyline

This was the other original that found a new home. It too, was very popular. Cards of this also were in demand. I’m very pleased.

I loved the crowd. As I was breaking down to leave early (had to be at a Union meeting in the morning), a young woman walked by wearing a sign that said “Ask to draw me nude,” she was depressed there were no takers, but within about 10 minutes she found someone and leisurely reclined in a Downtown Willy metal spider web throne. She said she had been fantasizing about this for ages, and was so glad to find someone. I think she may be looking for more of this in the future.

More later, Domcon is coming, and no doubt Rick Castro over at Antebellum has something in the works soon.

SMUT Around the Corner and Many Kind Thanks

Red Rider: Latex Strap-on Femdom on Bicycle

I find it a bit ironic Red Rider would get snatched up before CicLAvia

I don’t have much time, and I have fewer brain cells this morning, but wanted to say thank you to a few people. Thank you to Lilly over at Etsy for giving Red Rider a new home. She’s getting some free cards and stickers along with the original piece.

Rubber Bicyclist Sketch

I really need to get this on canvas and under way…

This was right before CicLAvia San Fernando Valley, which was fantastic. They closed off Lankershim and Ventura Blvd in North Hollywood and Studio City to automotive traffic, leaving bicyclists, pedestrians and others to play freely in the street. I posted photos on my facebook page, and was debating posting them here. Not much fetish going on, but I’m thinking we should start a leather contingent for the next event.

Bondage art: Girl in the Ropekini

The Ropekinki, as presented in Miss Cassie’s rope classes

Special thanks to Miss Allison Leigh, Mistress Cyan, and Miss Cassie. SMUT is this Saturday, and thanks to them I’ll be showing at the event. Leigh is squeezing me in. I’ll have a table right next to Miss Cassie so I can still help Cassie out. I’ll have cards, stickers and original art. I’m also grateful to Miss Leigh for including me on the SMUT event page on Facebook this week.

Slave Shoe Fetish Art

BTW, did you folks know the original is only $20 on Etsy. Click here to purchase

A note to petdj on Fetlife. The 20 card variety back will be ready at SMUT, and I’ll be adding it to Etsy after I get some rest. I’m very grateful for the suggestion and happy that someone was so eager to get greeting cards of my artwork, including Slave Shoe up above.

See you Satuday!!!
