Richard Savage Artist and illustrator
Richard Savage has been a figurative artist for twenty years. His work is diverse and his aim is to capture something of the celebration of life in all its wonderful shades. He works mainly in acrylics, but is also happy working in oils, pastels, line and wash, watercolour and mixed media. Richard’s current projects are concentrating on figurative art, illustrations and book covers, working for four American publishing houses.
He also undertakes private commissions and considers most professional work. He has never shied away from provocative topics including fetish, gothic, gay, lesbian and fantasy. Much of his private commission work comes from the BDSM world; Richard has a working knowledge of how the scene operates and it is for that reason his clients feel comfortable with him working on their project.
Richard says, “My clients value their privacy and it is my job to put them at their ease while we work on their artwork” He works from photographs and sells mainly over the internet, a high percentage of work going to the United States as well as to his home UK market and clients globally.

Decadence in Belgrade
January 14, 2011 by webslave · 2 Comments
The capital of Serbia is described on its official website as “The City of the Future in Southern Europe” and it’s becoming established on the fetish scene, thanks to the Decadence Kinky Party.
Open to BDSM people as well as the LGBT scene and deviants of all kinds, Decadence features local DJs playing progressive, darkwave, ebm and industrial sets. Entertainments at their last event included a three-girl strapon and shaving performance…
Why not plan a visit to Belgrade for their next bash in the Balkans.

SUN TZU MASTER OF WAR: SU-SIE MISTRESS OF MEN
January 12, 2011 by Mark Ramsden · Comments Off
A business client bought me a copy of Sun Tzu, Master of War, a Confucian guide to battle tactics updated for today’s business berks. Fat, bald men in suits who like to see themselves as wild warriors. (The same Horsemen of the Apocalypse who usually want ‘a bare-bottomed spanking, please. And then I want to suck your nipples.’ ) I flick through this timeless text and find out that it’s not a good idea to attack uphill. Who knew?
Maybe I should write my own man-taming text. I am Su-Sie, Mistress of Men – as hard as taking sweets off children. And involves the same amount of whining and whingeing. As some tiresome telly bitch recently said, mastering men is usually the same as training dogs. Why don’t I just try these techniques on My Man Max. Why am I pretending life is a Mills and Boon novel?
They’re men. All too aware that, these days, they’re on the losing side. I suppose I could stoop to that. But why can’t any relationship be an equal exchange? I’m a pro-Domme harlot. Surely I’m not being naive? Am I?

Miss Makeover: The Other Woman is a Ferrari
January 10, 2011 by Mark Ramsden · Comments Off
My love has only one flaw. Fast cars. Making a dick of himself with other plutocrats on a long dangerous road. It’s called the Gumboil rally or something equally silly. They race all day and party all night. It seems to attract posh tarts as well as rich boy racers.
It costs about thirty grand to enter, then you need a Ferrari and a string of five star hotels. They get by on very little sleep despite a great deal of champagne being consumed. It’s also possible some may resort to something stronger than pro-plus to make it to the finishing line. There’s no dope test to worry about. You’re a dope if you entered in the first place. That’s what he’s doing right now. Risking his neck. Perhaps dipping his wick.
The other woman is a Ferrari.
The Dark Tantra Tarot. First Ever Fetish Pack. 22 doorways 4 Mistresses
January 9, 2011 by Mark Ramsden · 2 Comments
Fetish Trance. The Suspended Androgyne. Drifting. Dreaming.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Why Mistresses instead of Queens?
The legendary Marquise. One of the four Mistress cards in the limited edition Major Arcana cards shortly available. We replaced Queens with Mistresses. Well, to name but one, who wouldn’t prefer Our Lady of intelligent elegance to our own dear Queen?
The Marquise once referred to me as a ‘tempestuous Puck-like talent’. Well, I’ve always been a fool. For Puck’s sake. As for The Tempest, I’ve reached Prospero vintage. Hence 22 new Tarot doorways. Taboos to confront. Obsessions to nurture. Moonlit paths through the tangled forest.
Ruth Ramsden has dipped her quill deep into decades of lived wisdom to realise these visions. What’s more, she managed not to murder me during the period of its conception. (While knowing that no court in the country would have convicted her.)
