Due to my teaching trip Down Under, possibly catching RopeFest in Russia and the Secret Garden Party here, it won’t be possible for me to host The Knot in July, so you had better get your fill on Sunday 3 June. Of course, there is BOUND on Friday 1st June, so you can get a …
I know it’s been a few days since the last update but I can assure you it will be worth the wait. We have been doing a few shoots which is why it has been a little quiet. The featured image is from one last weekend with Nina, shot by HomAge, now in the gallery. …
FDL are still trying to get some sense out of PayPal but meanwhile they have signed up with WeGotTickets. WGT did a great job for us with the ticketing for London Festival of the Art of Japanese Bondage, so I’m very happy FDL are using them. You can get tickets here Just scroll down to …
Bound is a show and social night for shibari fans at the Flying Dutchman, near my studio in South London. The FDL is a fantastic new venue that recently hosted the official Torture Garden after-party. It is a historic London pub, whose interior has been completely restyled with fabulous décor including dungeon, wet room and …

I am always a sucker for pictures of beautiful tattooed Japanese girls in rope, so this guy’s work caught my eye. Tr@sh, with typical Japanese modesty, hasn’t given me much information about his work, but he has kindly allowed me to publish a series of kinbaku photos taken at “Elfen Lied”, an SM bar in …
