I’ve been thinking about putting together small, private zines inspired by vintage Japanese SM magazines. One model per issue, all new edits made just for us.

Here’s a mock cover for the first one, featuring V.

Sharing a moment from my tie and shoot with Stapler_Teeth.
A partial suspension with a torsion, and they dropped into subspace so smoothly.

Red Japanese altar candles run hotter than most, and Stapler_Teeth took that challenge in stride.

Grateful for the energy we shared in this tie at Filthy Studios in Oakland.

A quiet moment from my tie and shoot with Stapler_Teeth at Filthy Studios.

Their legs hang in the ropes while their upper body rests on the tatami, an edge of tension and calm.

Still feeling the good vibrations from that day.

On set at Filthy Studios @filthystudios.bsky.social
yesterday, working as PA and met AstroDomina. They were incredibly kind and gracious.

They even bought one of my handmade bamboo whips from the studio shop! ❤️

There’s a moment in every tie when the shape reveals itself; a blend of tension, breath, and trust.

Here, Stapler_Teeth rests in that space, their beautiful “suffering” held in quiet strength.

A quiet moment with Stapler_Teeth, even in a tie and shoot, they slipped deep into subspace.
Grateful to have created a space where they felt safe to let go.

"You said to DM you. I'm interested in the bamboo gag! It's beautiful! Actually you kinda specialize in beautiful. I've been following a while and the shibari is stunning."

Unsolicited compliments like this make my day. Grateful for the kind words and the chance to share my art.

I’d love your input—what positions should I demo? Lying down, sitting, standing, or something else? Drop your ideas in the comments. ⬇️
