New plans part 1

hnd4tCP3-6-2015

We thought it would be nice to let you know some of our plans for the future. They may not be realized all at once, but one by one, over time, we hope to realize the following.

First of all, in New, we are planning to break the comics section up, so that we can publish multiple comics in stead of just the one about the Amazon Army. The idea is to introduce smaller comics, like the well known six page Short Comics.
Furthermore, there's going to be a new page, featuring GIF's, or small Flash presentations, in other words: moving images.In the first stage, these will be just very simple, tongue in cheek ones, like the one on the right here. But we are planning on making more intricate ones, which will explore a certain bondage gadget or a small two second scenario. It will be interesting to follow Coco's efforts on this new path, we think.

Average vs. kinky

My latest drawing in New is meant, a little bit, as a homage to Bishop; I have already told you, how much I have always been a fan of the way he used normal, everyday women in his drawings. Not all of the time of course: there was he Madam, and Fanni Hall in her Mrs. Peel outfit, but in his single shots, a lot of them showed average soccer moms. What hit me later was that the juxtaposition of these women with the kinky paraphernalia made the image even stronger: I think the use of a ball gag on a professional bondage model doesn't make the same impact as on an unsuspecting victim, overtaken in her own house. And Bishop was the first to make me aware of that.

PS For my fans and scholars: If you recognize the figure in the drawing, you'll notice I made a mistake here! Find the difference...

Hello again! There is a new POW cover in New, this time. Coco is still working on the new Juvenile Domination book, the one with all new work: hopefully it will come out next month. Also, the second issue in the succesful Juno Hawke series is taking shape: we'll keep you posted!

BDSM in main stream movies

Op de set sCP2-13-2015
I have always maintained that there is a larger interest in Bondage than it's niche culture would suggest. In my college years, I worked in a movie theater, and whenever a bondage scene occurred in a main stream movie, you were certain to experience a change in atmosphere in the public. There would be snickering, laughing, sometimes cheering. It would effect large parts of the audience, every time again.
An even stronger argument may be the big theater movies that actually had BDSM as their subject, and there have been a few over the years: L'Histoire d'O (and its rather weaker part two, from 1984), Nine and a half weeks, and more recently, the Secretary and of course Fifty shades of Grey. These were all successful with the general public.
