If you haven’t heard of TheAngryNawashi yet, you should do. He is a man of considerable wisdom unconstrained by the advice of “if you haven’t anything nice to say, say nothing”. Whether one agrees or not, it is refreshing to see somebody not being afraid to speak their mind. Unrestrained praise does not improve our tying, whereas …
My new tutorial DVDs, ‘Japanese Rope Bondage: Tying people, not parcels’, have been selling very well and getting rave reviews. We have exceeded all our most optimistic sales targets, in spite of a hiccup caused by some faulty media on the first NTSC version. Fortunately, I chose an excellent supplier who promptly re-pressed the entire …
I seem to have finally got to grips with the gallery plug-in! This means that the gallery uploads are gathering pace. So far, there are 29 photo galleries, some with 150 or so pictures, and 8 videos uploaded. Unless, you are logged in, you won’t see all the content. Free members will see some of …
Here’s a seasonal preview from my session with Jewell Marceau to wish you Yuletide greetings. I hope you enjoy the final results, which will include video and stills. We shot some typical ‘damsel in distress’, as this is what Jewell is best known for (…well, there are a couple of other things she is well …
I have just posted a series of unique signed photos by Sugiura featuring the work of Osada Steve, Naka Akira, Honda Sumio and Nureki Chimuo, which are for sale at £250 each. These are very collectable as it is unheard of for him to sign prints. If you don’t know Sugiura’s work, you have to …
No, I’m not referring to the impeding excesses of the festive season. Due to minimum purchase quantities on jute yarn, my supplier has tripled my orders for 5mm tossa and 6mm Asanawa so there will be no shortage in a week or two when it arrives. I have also got 7,500m of 5mm linen coming …
It appears that some copies of Volume I of my Japanese Rope Bondage DVDs have a media fault which causes skipping and breaking up, especially in the safety section. Fortunately, this section is repeated on Volume II and plays perfectly. My suppliers are re-pressing and will have these available next week. Please email dvdreturns@esinem.com with …
My friend, Hedwig of MoreInches blog, drew my attention to this piece of art which bears a spooky resemblance to something I did for .Cent magazine with Manuel Vason. I do have a hazy memory of an artist asking about basing a piece on one of the photos in my gallery but which one or …
The first nine photo galleries are up. Now we have the UUGallery system running, it should be fairly fast to upload content. After a few glitches and some great help from Paul at UUG, we cracked it. Anyway, I have uploaded shoots with the diminutive Miss Pixie, the bendy Emelia ‘Foldaway’, the beautifully inked Adreena, …
My apologies for the current lack of gallery content. Please be patient! Work is going on behind the scenes to perfect this side of things. I am currently awaiting a reply on, hopefully, the final support issue which is a corrupted licence file. I have been posting quite a few news blogs and articles to …
