A-Z of Fetish Artists - Parker aka Ace Moorcock


Ace Moorcock - Panel from 'Alley' story

A brief mention for Brad Parker aka Ace Moorcock whose comics depicting the wild adventures of Jason,
a seemingly naïve country youth complete with floppy blond hair, are often sprinkled with fetish references like restraint and spanking.


Ace Moorcock - Panel from 'Hitchin' story

His downfall is his clothing which invariably reveals a bulging appendage, irresistable to the men he encounters. Parker graphically depicts their lust-filled eyes as they sieze poor Jason and plunder his buns with their own ample organs and you are never quite sure if the activities are consensual or not.

Ace Moorcock - Panel from 'Hitchin' story

These are primarily sex comics and as such they work very well with close-ups and strange angles of view that sometimes take a bit of working out but give a tremendous sense of sexual energy and sheer lust. Somehow though, for me, the fetish scenes don't seem to reach the same heights as the purely sexual ones and this selection reflects that odd discrepancy.
I've not found a website for Brad but you can Google lots of examples of his work under both names.

A-Z of Fetish Artists - Paschke

Ralf Pashke is an unusual phenomenon amongst fetish artists in that all the work I've seen by him is paint on canvas. His work is intended to be hung on walls and is therefore not sexually explicit for the most part, but I'm happy to include him here because his subjects do cover a wide range of S&M topics - rubber, bondage, domination even noose play. What's more he portrays these subjects honestly without concealing their erotic dimension.


Paschke - Larky

In Larky, for instance, your eye is immediately drawn to the muscular shoulders of the captive as he strains against the restraints and the rugged face is full of attractive masculinity. Beefcake if you like, but the unzipped rear of his leather jeans, revealing a glimpse of red underwear inside, adds a subtle but uncompromising erotic frisson.


Paschke - qbody

Liberated from having to depict sexual activity, Paschke is able to focus on artistic values and depicting individuals. 'qbody' is more painted more sensually, with subtle muscle definition and body and limb shapes which are pleasing and erotic in themselves. But the mohican style haircut and the wooden staff that makes this bondage position uncomfortably 'real' add a nice gritty edge.


Paschke - Bootlick 2

I'm not qualified to comment on Paschke's technique, his style is a little coarse for my taste, for example the swirling facial features in bootlick2, but of course it's not intended to be displayed on computer screens and it's still a great take on a classic fetish image whose roots go right back to Tom of Finland.

Footnote on Bound Gods


Luke Riley
Bound Gods - Epilogue

The Chloroform post was the last of my present series celebrating the imagery of the Bound Gods studio. It's been surprisingly hard to choose just 10 representative examples even though I pretty much excluded 'straightforward' dungeon material (probably wrongly) and orgy scenes (which for some reason leave me cold). 

In the end I did succumb to repeating the water tank and electro-torture themes but I think I've been able to show that the work of this studio has many, different, appealing facets - models with personality, imaginative scenarios spiced with realism and unusual and stimulating fetish devices. All supported by quality photography with a great understanding of what is truly erotic. All the same I have no idea how I have managed to leave out Trent Diesel's hangdog submissiveness and beautiful abs or Luke Riley's spiky personality. 

I suspect I may want a second bite! 

  
Just to reiterate, I don't derive any income from these reviews
 and I am immensely grateful to Bound Gods for allowing me to post the images.

Bound Gods Celebration - 10

Medical Electro-Torture


My last selection in this celebration of Bound Gods imagery returns to the topic of electro-torture, 
but this time in a medical context.


Phenix Saint plays a psycho-patient who is restrained in a strait-jacket in a padded cell. 
He starts starts loudly demanding attention.


His 'restlessness' has a sexual dimension (naturally) and there's a sense of unpredictability and menace from him in this scene. This is a nice shot of Phenix's well developed thighs.


The Ward Orderly (Jason Miller) takes him to an examination room for a thorough investigation. When dressed in a smock Phenix suddenly looses that aura of strength and power and submits with more docility than you would expect, especially considering the Orderly has whipped his cock out and is shamelessly groping him. 

This sequence seems a bit unlikely, but perhaps Jason introduced a sedating medication into Phenix's buttock before his strait jacket was removed. 
Anyway Jason decides he to chloroform him so he can confine him.



Phenix awakes to find himself unfrocked and strapped down to the bed. 
Once again his thighs are the centre of attention. 
The Orderly has strapped two electro-pads to each of them and is busily wiring them up.



A nice shot of Phenix looking extremely doubtful as the treatment begins, 
perhaps the sedation is wearing off, but his cock is certainly excited.



Before long he's jumping about in pain. 
The restraints leave him just enough freedom to writhe and struggle but there's no way of escaping. Jason enjoys the show in his own way. But there's more...


Next, the Orderly takes hold of Phenix's penis and carefully inserts a special electrode into the tip. 
Apart from showing us clearly what is happening, there's a nice intimacy about this image 
but the straps around Phenix's thighs in the background remind us that it is a one-sided intimacy.



With the probe fully inserted, the cage-like cap fits snugly over the top of Phenix's cock, 
held securely in place by the ring which sits snugly behind the flare of his cock head. 
With Jason's hands removed a glimpse of Phenix's right thigh shows us how his legs are held open by his restraints, a vulnerable position which makes the conglomeration of wires and metal electrodes attached to this part of his body all the more intimidating. 
It's as though we are looking through his eyes, fearing what is to come.


We can now see that Phenix has also been gagged, 
although this very un-medical, bit-gag will not stop him shouting. 
Arguably it will protect his tongue from biting during electrically induced spasms 
but it would be nice to see a less fetishistic design. 

The brown strapping fits the bill better 
and allows him just enough freedom to struggle - to Jason's obvious pleasure. 
You can admire Phenix's thighs to the full here 
as he begins to experience the second trial and braces himself.


Close up again you still can't see what Phenix is experiencing 
but you can comprehend that there is no escape from the tormenting electrodes attached to him


This picture could easily be glossed over, but for me it is pure erotica. 

You can see how the ring of the cage fits neatly behind the flare of Phenix's penis head, so it is held securely in place. The straps holding the pads against his thighs are so tight they compress his flesh. 
Phenix's rigid cock immediately grabs your attention, but look also at the lines traced by the front of his thighs as they converge towards his neat pubic mat. It's beautifully erotic and the continuation up towards his pecs would be too but it is broken up by the tattoos on his abdomen. 

The authentic looking equipment in the background, even the orderlies hand create a tremendous sense of a helpless captive being remorselessly tested.



That hurts! Phenix curls his body and draws his legs up, 
fists clenched in an involuntary response to the assault on his groin



A marvellous shot of Phenix's muscular body writhing and tensing
 as his whole genital area is subjected to painful torture by the sadistic Orderly.


Phenix sinks back exhausted.
Jason extends a cynical comforting hand 
or is he just enjoying the feel of his victim's trembling body?
.
What can I say? Marvellous erotica.

A-Z of Fetish Artists - P

My A-Z of fetish artists resumes next week with the letter 'P' which will include such stars as Palanca and Player. Just to remind you that I only cover artists with a genuine fetish element in their drawings - leather jackets alone won't qualify! Those who produce computer generated art are not included either, partly to keep a manageable-sized list but also because I don't feel well qualified to comment on that genre. Nevertheless I hope to address it in some way in the future.

My criteria for assessing artists are:- fetish content, technical merit and sensuality.




Paul Patterson - Rugby Scrumdown

As a taster here's a picture by Paul Patterson who I wouldn't have expected to be including in the list, but he will get a proper mention later. Meanwhile any rugby picture is liable to get a mention from me. I particularly like the tight shirts in this image from surprisingly long ago.

Bound Gods Celebration - 9

9 The Cylindrical Water Tank

Another water tank scenario but quite different from the Rusty Stevens 'Lab Rat' classic which I covered earlier in Part 1. Dante is the man here, a regular-looking kind of guy, 
he is kidnapped by C.J Madison.




After being first stripped and then thrashed hard, Dante is dropped into the water tank with just his hands tied together and his cock and balls roped up, forcing them out away from his abdomen. He has to suck Madison through a hole in the lid while kneeling waist deep in water. 
Kinky but not really scary.



However when Madison takes his cock away he pushes a water hose through the lid instead. 
Water gushes into the tank and it rapidly begins to fill. Dante realises that although he can move around, he cannot get out. He bangs against the lid but it won't shift.



As tank continues to fill, Madison walks away leaving Dante to face the horror of drowning. 
Soon he is entirely submerged and terrified.



Next we see Dante down on his knees in the tank but now his body is immobilised, tightly wrapped in a lattice of ropes. His captor has removed him from the tank, tied him more securely then dropped him back in again. The change is chilling for now Dante is unable to rise to his feet, because his ankles are tied to the back of his thighs, leaving him completely dependant on a length of tube to breathe through. A tube that can escape from his mouth if he struggles too much or which his captor can remove any time he chooses.



The curved walls of the tank magnify and distort Dante's body shape making him appear like a preserved biological sample in a bottle. In order to keep the tube in his mouth he has to arch his body backward pushing his exposed and roped up genitals forwards. Seen through the glass this looks very sexy we can see he is sporting an erection as though the danger is exciting him.



Madison patrols outside gloating at his victim as he struggles to control his panic.
It's a stunning 'danger' sequence in an otherwise straight forward movie and full credit to Dante for the stunt work. Not everyone could put themselves in danger like that, even knowing that there were plenty of safety precautions - assuming there were......
