Memory Lane

Hello everyone! There is a new POW (Prisoners Of War) page in New, that is linked to the latest POW cover. I choose this format from time to time, because I hope it will give the impression of something real, therefor enhancing the effect of the art. Same thing with those POW covers, and other 'book covers', like the Embarrassment series. A short time ago, I saw a program on television about a Belgian artist, who did more or lest the same, all be it from a different point of view.
He had a particular love for the covers of detective covers from the forties and fifties, and he used those images in his paintings. That brought me back to my own childhood. I remembered rummaging through my parents books as a young boy, looking for that exact same material. Very often, those covers would show a woman in peril, being chased or tied up.

These images may very well have been some of the earliest jolts I have experienced where it comes to bondage, apart from a few rare scenes on our first television, in vague black and white.
Like the artist in Belgium (who was a member of the group dEUS, if I'm not mistaken) I have also used that image of these old covers in my work, trying to make them look as if hey actually were from the fifties.

I might take that up again in the near future; perhaps turning it into a special section.
Oh, I'm still working on the all-new-material Juvenile Domination V. Work is progressing slowly, but I think it will be a great book when finished. I'll keep you posted!
