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

For the letter 'L' we again have some pretty good artists to review, including a number who are no longer producing new work - Leo, Les, Losarro, Lowenhaupt - plus Logan and Link from the present day.

Lundqvist - Jail Bird

To start with, though, I want to feature an artist who isn't really a fetishist at all but I admire his style and found one relevant picture so I just wanted to feature him to kick off this letter. Lundqvist draws the type of square-jawed handsome man that I find irresistible. Even if they aren't blue eyed and blond. The sight of such a man in chains is highly erotic even if it is not explicit. The style is a sort of comic realism which is visually pleasing and colourful.

This picture also shows the general ability of art to show realistic scenes in an enhanced way so that, for example, we are quite conscious of the nature of the prisoner's surroundings - the walls, the bloody sheets, etc whereas in a photograph it would just register as a jail cell.

I can't ID a link for this artist but a search of gay art groups should turn up more examples. I welcome link info from readers of this blog

Leather Sex Appeal - 32

An impressive array of leather gear, all well fitting but cumulatively it's overpowering. However, this man has an interesting 'lived in' face which is why he graces my blog today . One of the interesting facets of the leather scene is it's universal appeal to all ages.

This posting rounds off my leather series. The story which prompted me to start it - The Path of Pain' continues at 'mitchmen' but it has taken a new direction into the world of rugby and I will be picking up this theme soon, but first another installment of my A-Z of Fetish Artists - The Letter 'L'

Leather Sex Appeal - 30

The studded jock has always pushed a button for me, I think my brain generates a mental inversion of the stud's direction. The studded arm wrap could be a seriously dangerous accessory I suppose, but using it to wipe your nose is wierd. I like this guy, however, he's got a nice figure to hang the gear on.

Leather Sex Appeal - 29

Pete Bigg from BoundMuscle demonstrates a rather impressive leather gag. The design looks like a serious intrusion tool without obscuring his whole face and the padlock is a nice control touch. The unfussy leather jock looks 'right'. I quite like the body net, it would look even better if the arms were pulled behind creating the effect of tighter restaint.

Leather Sex Appeal - 28

I make no apologies for another chaps picture, one that captures the essence of the garment - the open crotch. The straining waist band cum belt is almost corset-like and the cut away section around the buckle accentuates the belly nicely.

Picture courtsey of Colt Studios, the model is Ace Carponi (apparently!)

Leather Sex Appeal - 27

The humble waistcoat is a versatile staple garment of the leather scene but not devoid of sex appeal when draped over suitable pecs as here.
What is it about motorcycles that makes men take off their pants? (see No 11 in this series)
The leather seat perhaps?
