Interview with FemDom Artist 7EVINEX

Lobojack recommended the work of 7EVINEX (sometimes referred to as Cevinex) and also arranged for me to contact this new artist with the possibility of an interview.

I have never interviewed a 3D artist before so I was enthusiastic about talking to 7EVINEX.

1. I always like to discover a little of the background of the artist as a beginning to our discussion. Tell us a little about 7EVINEX.
Though I moved from there years ago, I was born and raised, for the most part, in Southern California, USA, in a large family of more than a few members with artistic aspirations. My very first, furtive attempts at art were FemDom BDSM themes, and my aspiration to improve upon my skills and techniques have rarely waned since. Continue reading

Interview with FemDom Artist Nequissimus

As a beginning, especially for those who may be new to your work,  please tell us a little about your background, where you were born, where  you live, how did you decide on your name and what does it mean?

I was born in a small town of 7000 inhabitants in Western Finland. I lived  there for 20 years, then I moved to Eastern Finland to study and cultivate  myself. I enjoyed student life and finally after some extra studies  completed a Master’s Degree in social sciences. After my graduation I lived  a couple of months in Russia. Now I live in Helsinki, which is the capital  of Finland. 
I picked my name from a book which told about insults. Nequissimus means  “most or very worthless”, it is Latin and it was used by ancient Romans.

When did you discover you had a talent for art? Have you had formal  training?
I don’t have any training but drawing has been my hobby since childhood. 
During last years I’ve been more creative and hard-working than ever  before. Maybe five years ago I started to make paintings, I also drew my  first comics at about the same time. I think that I don’t have any special  talent, but through practice it has been possible to develop my skills to  at least decent level.
In my previous job I had the opportunity to make some illustrations. Which  was nice. Continue reading

Interview with Artist Jan Van Rijn

The erotic art of Van Rijn is stimulating and sometimes a little confrontational.  We managed to get together to discuss his art.

Jan, for those who may be new to your work, please tell us a little about your background. The Van Rijn name is quite famous, of course and are you a distant relation to the great Rembrandt? :)

Van Rijn is an alias referring to the region/place I grew up and my partial Dutch origin. I was born 1966, not related to Rembrandt and live in Germany.

When did you discover you had a talent for art and have you had formal training?

I have been a trained stonemason/sculptor for over 25 years, working with steel and wood as well and I became intensely engaged in drawing female nudes and other scenes of sexual content over the years. No academic training or degree. Continue reading

Interview

The art of Grandwood is featured here from time to time. Grandwood kindly sent me much of his art so thought it was time we had a chat with the FemDom artist, Grandwood.

1. As a beginning, especially for those who may be new to your work,  please tell us a little about your background, where you were born, where you live and anything elese you tihnk is relevant.
I was born in Iowa in 1940,  and I received an electrical engineering degree from Iowa State University in  1963.  Also a law degree from Marquette University in 1966.  I’ve  lived and worked in Wisconsin continuously since 1970, and I’ve been  semi-retired since 2000.

2. When did you discover you had a talent for art? Have you had formal training? What has been your greatest success? Greatest failure?
I realized that I had some art  talent when I was in high school, Continue reading

Discussion with U.K. Artist Spencer John Derry

 As a beginning, especially for those who may be new to your work, please tell us a little about your background, where you were born, where you live.
Spencer John Derry (Born in Wrexham, North Wales UK)  lives in Chester,Cheshire. Studied art and design at West Cheshire Art College in 1990. Gained a Bachelor of Arts with 2.1 (Hons) at Hull School of Art in 1996.

 When did you discover you had a talent for art? Apart from those schools, have you had any other formal training?  What has been your greatest success? Greatest failure?
I discovered my talent early. I was singled out in schools and college for my artistic talent. I was nominated for the Randolph Caldecott Society Award in 1991 whilst studying at West Cheshire Art College.
I have not really been taught by tutors as such. I believe it is a instinctual process and a great deal of practice on my behalf. The greatest success so far is selling my art on a weekly basis. It is a bonus when well known art collectors in Switzerland  purchase my art.
My greatest failure is one solo art show at a retail furniture store in Chester. I dragged myself from the abyss and continue with my art. Continue reading

A Chat with Ms Marie

Ms Marie is, in her words, a former good little housewife who is now the dominant wife with a sissy husband who doesn’t always enjoy being a sissy. She posts her D/s adventures on her blog and she has quite a following.
We decided to chat about all things FemDom and this is the transcript of that conversation.

 Marie, thank you for taking the time to chat. Love your blog and know that many people are fans and follow your D/s adventures daily.

Carmenica, thank you for this wonderful opportunity.  I am honoured that you would be interested in interviewing me.  I am a great admirer of your writing and your blog!

Thank you. I gather you and your subby hubby have been married for some years and  you have hinted on the blog that your hubby was selfish during the early  years of your marriage. Now, you are completely in control. How did this huge change take place?

I have been married to my husband for many years and I married quite young and innocently.  I think I’ve probably done more than hint on my blog at my husband’s selfishness through most of our marriage with the exception of the last couple of years.
It is indeed a huge change now that I’m in full control, but it was not an immediate change.

Did hubby approach you with his submissive  desires or did you  discover he was a sub in some other way? 

I guess I always knew that my husband liked to be tied up during sex. Continue reading

A Discussion with Ben Newman

 Ben Newman is an interesting artist who has been popping up in various places on the web. We’ve posted some of his pictures and you can find more of Ben’s work here and here.

Ben, a little background . Tell us about yourself – you know, where born, where you live.

I grew up in Hackney, went to school in Islington, did an art foundation at Camberwell then spent two years studying animation in Bournemouth.
I spent three or four years dossing around Bournemouth doing various minimum wage jobs; factory work, selling ice-cream on the beach, waiting tables in a hotel and so on. Eventually I got a portfolio together and got a job with a small startup computer games company in Nottingham. I stayed there about seven years before upping sticks again to move to another games company. I now live in Oxford with my wife and a moody black lab, where I try and scrape together as much free time as possible to draw. Continue reading

Another interview with yours truly has been published. :)

You will find it here if you are interested.

Interview with FemDom Artist, Maxim.

1. A little personal history? Where did your pen name “Maxim” come from?Where were you born? Where do you live and work? Do you have a “Wish country” where you would love to live if it were possible?

   I was born and raised in South Carolina. Oddly enough my favorite city is London England. But all my family is here so I doubt I’d relocate. The origin of the Maxim pen name is pretty boring, really. I needed a screen name for various femdom forums and I picked Maxim more or less at random. It means ‘a saying that is widely accepted on its own merits.’ I just thought it sounded cool. Lol. I used the name when I wrote some erotic stories for the forums so it seemed natural to use it for my cartoons as well.

2. When did you discover you have a talent for art? How did you develop your skills?

I started drawing when I was very young, and I wasn’t any better at it than the kids around me Continue reading

Radio Interview.

A month ago, yours truly appeared on a late night alternative radio interview in Europe for a friend of a friend. Reluctantly, I might add. A transcript was done and I translated it. It is a little rough but you may enjoy it as it answers questions that often arrive via email. It is not an in-depth interview and I did not really like the interviewer, although I was polite. 
I have deleted the lengthy introduction. Continue reading
