Tom Jones Fetish Art

 This article is an extension of my 2009 A-Z article on Tom Jones fetish art (which has also been updated slightly). In that article I presented a small selection of his fetish work and this expands on that.

Tom Jones - Wrist Bound

A striking, sexy pose which is conceived most simply, 

with long sweeping lines and luscious brush strokes.
It lays bare the vulnerability of naked captivity.

Tom Jones - GI Initiation

This image combines Jones' interest in wrestling with a more overtly fetish subject. There's a confident economy of detail in this picture also but the angular style couldn't be more different to the previous example. It feels as if this was painted rapidly and that energy communicates a sense of desperate struggle to the viewer. There's a subtle disparity in the size of the figures which elaborates on the title, hinting at bullying or even rank.

Tom Jones - Watching a Tawsing

 This looks like an illustration for a story since it's highly unusual for a spanking scene to be relegated to the background of what otherwise might be regarded as a beefcake picture, albeit a remarkably edgy one (if you'll pardon the pun). The internal frame effect that doesn't actually meet up with itself, but connects the two main elements of the picture is also very typical of 80's/90's magazine styling.

This wouldn't belong in a commonplace beefcake magazine though, I would imagine. The details of the foreground figure - Mohawk haircut, very deep collar and nipple rings - take us suggestively into the steamy depths of the real leather fetish scene. This is no dabbler and the delicate shaping of his face seems to reflect a desire to play a subordinate role. We can guess how that plays out I think!

Tom Jones - Plug Gag

 This is intriguing picture. The crude plug gag and the fuzzy sense of threat here immediately put me in mind of the amazing work of RJ Blake (whose own A-Z entry awaits my updating). The impression of tension and genuine restraint is strong but there's a mild incongruity about the man's relatively luxurious hair which doesn't fit the norm for fetish interests (short) and therefore conjures up thoughts about his real life, his occupation and possibly doubts about his eagerness to be here. His tackle appears to be encased in a sort of moulded cock and balls harness which effects a flattering presentation of his goods, perhaps not what one might wish in these circumstances. There is also a strange hint of what might be a band of flimsy fabric (like voile?) laying across his groin area and possibly forming part of the cbt restraint and maybe hinting at feminine interests on the part of him or his captor. (This part of the picture can also be seen as some sort of sheer shorts at a stretch).
Like I said, intriguing!

Tom Jones - Hard

 The nature of the bondage in this picture is not quite so obvious at first glance but it's actually a basic form of a punishment restraint that, thanks to the stick, can be most severe if made sufficiently tight. The thrown back head hints at that as well as creating a more erotic body shape. The wrists appear to be linked into some cbt ropework. This character too has relatively long hair, perhaps a contemporary fashion.

Tom Jones sophisticated, arty style is not unique, but it's highly distinctive in the world of fetish art successfully combining artistry and eroticism.  Tom has a website at TomJonesMen where you will find more about him plus dozens of his pictures. You can get prints of all the pictures featured here plus some originals. Don't overlook the 'illustrations' section.
