'Drought' (below) shows the style of this artist which sits between cartoon and realism. The result is attractive, the little areas of detail like the crotch of the jeans for example have a realistic feel but are economically drawn.

Jack - DroughtI have some doubts about the attributions to this artist as I have seen his signature on a picture attributed to artist named Kamui or something similar – it could be one and the same person. Anyway, I only have one fetish image by him but it is so iconic so I feel I must include it in this survey.
Jack - Hooded Captors
There are many fetish allusions in this picture but it's the menacing black hoods that make it so striking. The captives golden blond hair should suggest a contrasting innocence but his massive muscularity dilutes that effect and there isn't much sense of struggle in the poses of the protagonists.
There's a bit of a 'Tom' effect here (Tom of Finland made impossible poses into an art form!). The captive is crouching on his knees whilst the guards are standing. Their mating would be impossible but the artist does a good job at deceiving the eye. The chains (which look a bit of an afterthought) confuse the perspective somewhat (and they are not actually restraining the captive!). Carping aside, the quality of the figure drawing is good and the level of detail excellent. The overall composition works extremely well.
