The Vienna series of my new solo show, Tied up with Sophia, has now been untied and come to a close. Next will be the LDN series around Spring next year which will hopefully capture a similar seductive and sensual vibe. Again big love and warm thanks to all that came and/or have supported the project thus far... it's already opened plenty of new doors and future collaborations. Special thanks and mentions to of course @sophia.shibari for being a beautiful person to collaborate with, the lovely ladies at @improperwall for being such welcoming hosts, @kinbakustudiovienna for your willingness to share, @rumivonbaires for your delectable music choices, and @niko.havranek for capturing the shows proceedings so well (photo courtesy of @niko.havranek) ... big love 🙏🏼🔥 ❤️#shibari #shibariart #kink #kinbaku #burlesque #ropebondage #bondage #bondageart #ropes #ropebunny #rigging #rigger #performance #anatomy #pencil #watercolour #staedtler #exhibition #gallery #portrait #bodypositive #eroticart #vienna #tattoo #tattoodesign #improperwalls (at Improper Walls) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrcWwAdl6Kw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=mcugxoolkrtn

A day late... nether-the-less, Happy All Saints/Souls day to all you Saints and Sinners 💀❤ To celebrate this year I've dug up a special selection of macabre works, which will be added to my online store and available to buy throughout November.
