Mitchell's A-Z of Fetish Artists - Jahi (aka Yuni)

A good deal of Jahi's (aka Yuni) fetish output depicts very young looking boys (in the traditional Japanese comic style) disguised as elf-like creatures - an immediate turn off for me. Which is very sad because his depictions of extreme bondage are highly original and score well on my personal fetish meter.


Jahi - Airplane Bondage

You can see from the example here (where the age of the creature is not readily apparent) how he exaggerates the flexing of the contorted body to great erotic effect. This pose is virtually impossible (for a human anyway!) but succeeds in convincing the eye. The soft rendering of muscle contours and skin folds is combined with a lush colour palette to create a very alluring image.

More images (mostly non-fetish but with more contortions) can be seen at his gallery Jahi aka Yuni

Mitchell's A-Z of Fetish Artists - JAD

JAD - GI Torture

JAD draws scenes of captives being tortured in gruesome ways like the electro technique being practised on a captured GI in the example (detail) shown here. His best known picture is probably the muleskinner spread-eagled between two upright posts, spiked with thorns and roasted above a fire.

JAD's output is not large as far as I know, but I couldn't ignore the 'full on' S&M subject matter. His technique is unsophisticated in a way, but shows a knowledge of anatomy and perspective and the faintly drawn background for example creates depth. Despite the slightly overwhelming detail the picture works.

Sorry no link info, but his pictures turn up a GMBA from time to time (link in sidebar)

Mitchell's A-Z of Fetish Artists - Jack

There's an update to this article here

'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 - Drought

I 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.

Mitchell's A-Z of Fetish Artists - The Letter 'J'


Mitchell's survey of fetish artists continues with the letter 'J'. There are lots of very interesting Artists in this group including important names like Jakal, Joe T, Jonathan and Jotto. To start with though a couple of fringe examples:-

Johansson - Wrestlers
Not really a fetish artist but I've included this picture (which is a vaguely fetish subject) simply because it's good. The technical credentials of the artist speak for themselves.

Jeeprat - Plaything
I don't have a lot of work by this artist but I like the subject matter of the example included (above) and the technique is pretty interesting too. The highlighting and speckled texturing looks as though it is inspired by photo manipulation techniques but I think it is more than just a manipulation.

Sorry no link info.

The Art of Facchini Exhibition

An Exhibition of work by the artist 'Facchini'

I've been a fan of Facchini's work for some time. I love the masculinity of his men and the clever portrayals of uncaring institutional staff abusing men in their charge.
See my A-Z entry about Facchini

I have made a selection of some of my favourite pictures by him and this exhibition has now transferred to the mitchmen blog. Facchini Exhibition
You should be able to find more pictures by Facchini in the GMBA archive
