Born in December of 1966, and raised in one of the small towns of
Northern California, where I have lived all my 33 years.
Since I was several weeks old, film, theater and mass media have always
been part of my life. My mom tells me that just after my baptism, she took me to
a movie, where I slept through the whole thing. There are also baby pictures of
me laying, mesmerized in front of the television.
While growing up, I never did the usual `childhood’ things. Although
growing up in the ‘70’s was far from usual than what my mom and dad went
through. Watching Batman, Wonder Woman (which started me in my
fascination of women in strange underwear), The Six Million Dollar Man, Star
Trek, Battlestar Gallactica, Knight Rider and other shows like this. Plus my
mountains of comic books began my imagination going as to: “What would happen
if…” and I began making my own stories in my head.
This brought me to my artwork, where I began crudely writing stories on
paper, drawing them on posterboard, and making my own small press comics.
Continually refining myself with every new project.
Of course, when I started getting interested in girls, some of my artwork
took a different direction. I never pursued this line, because reading much of
what is out there in my adult years, it hardly impressed me. But finally, I
decided to give it a try. Mainly just for fun, and to get some of the images out
of my head.
Being a sci-fi/anime/fantasy enthusiast, as well as a Master Costumer, I
was naturally drawn to the fetish lifestyle with most of its nuances and
beguiling ideas. (Although I do have to admit, some of them are a bit too much
even for me.)
I have always been fascinated with the Asian culture, and have found
myself drawn to the seductive nature of the women. But, I like all women. Be
they small, tall, hefty, flat, full. (Each woman is a secret wrapped in an
enigma, and will only reveal themselves if properly coaxed.)
Currently I am trying to get a more substantial job, so I am open to
people wanting various project done. I am also doing a comic strip for an
on-line magazine: SMBD HOME from Anna’s Art. Plus several websites have been
showing some of my pictures, and other websites have been asking for original
pictures.
While doing my fetish and BD artwork has been more of a pastime to
explore my own mind, it is not what I have planned to do the rest of my life.
I am working to make a multi-media studio in Northern California, where
we would produce action/adventure movies, comics and animated video tapes.
I would like to take my fetish artwork into the area of photo
manipulation with the computer, and working with live people. Anyone wishing to
do so, please let me know. And if anyone wishes to commission some work, please
feel free to email me, and I’ll see what I can do.

This fellow is a real trip! I can’t think of one area in the fetish,
futuristic costuming, Super Heroine, comic, bondage genres that he isn’t into.
He’s got them ALL covered.
