Mitchell's A-Z of Fetish Artists - Michael and Mister X

Todays post covers a couple of more controversial artists. 

Michael based his work heavily on the drawings of Tom Of Finland, quite often copying complete compositions and making modifications to clothing and faces to add his own mark. Regardless of the propriety of this, the results are sometimes quite interesting and not totally lacking in originality. There are fetish elements in some of his pictures but, in every case I have seen, the fetish ingredient had been copied directly from Tom's work (see below)

Michael - from 'Brotherhood' 
.

Tom - from 'The Rope'

Although I might give Michael more credit in a general art survey, 
it seems absurd to include him here except as a curiousity.

*****
 

MisterX's output is heavily populated with boyish youths and those strange child-animal creatures
 that the Japanese like so much. His work is quite imaginative, but for me, placing childlike beings
 in erotic S&M situations is a no no.

Mister X - The bulge in his speedo's 

However I did find this image of an octopus or squid installing itself in a young man's swimming trunks which I think is extraordinarily original and sexy and it has an almost classic simplicity
 .

Mitchell's A-Z of Fetish Artists - Macy

Macy - Trail Blazer (det)

I have only one work by Macy*, a comic strip from which this panel is taken. 
It's unremarkable cartooning, I just like the image.

The use of rope instead of the barbed wire to restrain the captive gives an insight to the limits of Macy's fetish credentials!
 

*I have slated this article for upgrading in the future having acquired a lot more work by the artist since the original draft (July 2014).

I originally posted another picture in this article under the name 'Madison' but have now concluded that was actually drawn by Sean, the discussion of it can now be found here

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

Here we are at the letter M.

Malex, Manflesh, Martin of Holland, Mishima, the list goes on and on. No other letter so far has given me such a long list of major and minor artists, so I can see I will have my work cut out finding a favourite. As usual I exclude artists who do not have a major fetish angle to their work (like Mike and Steven Masters for example) and those who employ CG techniques (like McHolland and Minx) but the list is still very, very long.

Musgrave - Roped

To accompany this introduction I have singled out a one hit wonder. This is the only picture I have ever seen by Musgrave. It's almost photographic and no doubt derived from one but I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt because of the way it's signed and simply because it's a superb, simple rope bondage image. Please see comments for more on Musgrave.

Rugby Player in Captured in his Jock by Mitchell

Mitchell - First Aid

 

To round off the Rugby Player sequence a picture from my last series of drawings, 'The Legend of The Path of Pain' . You can see the full story at the mitchmen Adonis Male club (see Gallery Hub). There are 50 pictures in the set and an accompanying narrative recounts how the Rugby Team are captured by a group of leathermen desperate for their juices. I am in the process of converting the story into a PDF file and that should be available soon at the Yahoo Group.

More compression shorts performing well in the rain in the recent England v France match

Danny Cipriani (above)manages a pretty good show without them

Another gratuitous nude dressing room scene starring a selection of Harlequins players - for a Health campaign naturally! It's a curious mixture of arty and erotic. The guys haven't been pretty-fied for the shoot. The two outside figures are cast in semi-classical poses which are almost demure. However the two seated on the bench are showing modesty in a raunchy way which suggests quite the opposite!

Ficticious but fanciable.
In this atmospheric shot from Gotham Knights, Joe Oppedisano picks up on the tight fitting compression shorts that have caught on as undershorts in recent years.

Jonah from Captured Guys has exactly the right look for a rugby role

This series concludes in the next post and I start a new letter in my A-Z

These crisp white shorts look great and demonstrate that chunky thighs look great from the back too.

The gloves suggest this is a soccer goalkeeper but hell, you're allowed to fantasise!
