Gorgeous Bondage Ambrotype

The images on the net really not do justice to the original ambrotypes of Marcus Ranum. I know, because I have several of them at home in first life (IRL), and they are real precious treasures. Ambrotypes are not photo on paper, they are chemically treated glassplates. You really have to see and hold one to feel their true beauty.

Marcus, who's bondage works always are gorgeous, made another bondage ambrotype for your first life. It's up for sale at ebay for 3 more days. Make a bid to get this unique artwork. This is an one of a kind work, as every ambrotype is unique. So this is your opportunity to get an unique artwork for a very affordable price. You decide yourself how much it's worth to you. Go here.

Enjoy your art!

Ten years gone by 9/11

Today I sent the artwork 'September 11 tribute' by Mickie Mueller as a gift in several artgroups and wiccan/pagan groups. It is such a healing image, it touches my soul every time I see it. I hope it may bring comfort to the ones who receive it.

Mickie Mueller about her artwork:

To buy this work for your Real Life, go here.

"On Sept. 11 th we all watched in horror as three passenger planes hijacked by terrorists were crashed into the World Trade Center, and the Pentagon, a fourth crashing in the open in Pennsylvania. As I watched it felt like a hole in my heart, complete disbelief. Sometime during the day after the attacks, I had an inspiration. The next day I watched the services for the fallen Americans with many friends around me in the bar where I worked at the time. My friend Dawn brought a candle to light so that we could all be part of it. She and I talked about how we both wanted to do something to help, giving blood was a good thing, but we both felt the need to do something more as well. When I described the picture I had in my head, Dawn agreed to model for me. Her strong emotions about the loss that was felt by us all really came through, and this powerful piece was born.

She may be an angel or a winged Goddess, she is the feminine healing and nurturing Spirit. The eagle she cradles in her arms is injured, but not down for good, his head held high. As she sends divine healing energy to the eagle and the nation he represents, we see four feathers at her feet, symbolic of the four planes that went down. A tear streams down her face and her wings fold around in a protective motion, remeniscent of Isis healing Osiris. This is my tribute in loving memory of the families, friends, and heros of this country. They are many."

A selection of the art of Mickie is also exhibited in the Wiccan Art Gallery @ Witches Island, a Wiccan Second Life Community run by the Children of Artemis in the UK which you can visit here.

CHINA HAMILTON

China Hamilton has established a considerable global reputation as photographer of fine art erotic images of women.

He has been seen as one of the leading fine art photographic printers of the twentieth century. He strove to produce photographs that were each unique pieces of creative work. In this quest he mastered and improved many historic processes and has contributed to photographic science a number of new printing processes including making photographic images upon hand made watercolour paper and copper sheets.

His work has often examined the darker side of female sexuality alongside his more traditional erotic pictures. Much of his later work is inspired by sadomasochistic subjects. This particular theme has made this aspect of his work controversial though its reflection upon the power and private expression of women has brought a new sensitivity and respect to this subject. His unique and distinctive style of image has often been the inspiration for the work of other photographers.

You can buy China's work from his own website or from Obsessionart. Copies of his book 'Velvet Nights' are available at Amazon.

In Second Life, China Hamilton is represented by his Second Life Art Gallery Manager, yours truly Zena Zemlja.

Legal copies of the work of China for your Second Life are available in China's Second Life Art Gallery at Body, Mind & Spirit, which you find here.

China's photography is not like any other photo's you've seen in SL. His work has a mystical touch that expresses the darker side of his erotic work. The Lifestylers in SL with a bit more extreme kinky taste will surely appreciate these dark collections.

Personally I love the Pants Collection which is exhibited on first floor of the gallery. Other collections exhibited are the Bend Collection, Waiting I, Waiting II, Discipline I, Discipline II and the Submission Collection.

The special offers to buy a whole collection of 6 artworks for the price of 4, are great value for those who want to decorate or redecorate their SL homes, castles, dungeons or clubs.

China Hamilton's Gallery is registered as a Legal Erotic Quality Art Gallery in Second Life. This means that China's Gallery is certified by the standards of Legal Quality Art Galleries in Second Life, and part of the Legal Art Galleries Tour Hud that is distributed through the Certificate Kiosks of registered SL art galleries.

China Hamilton's Gallery is also listed on Sasun Steinbeck's website of Art Galleries of Second Life. China's Gallery is therefore part of the Art Galleries Tour Hud that is distributed through the Kiosks of Sasun's listed SL art galleries.

China Hamilton's art will also be exhibited at the Adult Second Life Zexpo Event from 26th of August till 4th of September 2011.

MICK PAYTON

Mark Davis, Mick Payton's agent in Real Life, about Mick Payton:

"Born 1953, Mick Payton’s working life started in the less than artistic domain of steel engineering. A career change saw him venture briefly as a driving instructor before a chance photoshoot with an aspiring model lead to the realisation that, although raw in essence, there was considerable potential in a life for him behind the lens.

Steadily, the number of aspiring and subsequently established models wanting their portfolios enhanced by Payton’s grasp of high quality atmospheric fine art nude photography grew. His workload developed to a point where he was able to make a full time vocation from what was fast becoming his passion.

In the years that followed, his style became a forbearer for modern tasteful erotica, with Payton becoming one the first erotic photographers to find widespread commercial acceptability within his chosen genre of art.

Since 1998, Payton has been commissioned for more than four calendars every year, including both male and female erotica, with many international best sellers across several continents to his name.

In 2007 his career continues from strength to strength, with a regular stream of global commissions and flourishing collectors market for both his limited edition and open edition prints."

You can buy the art from Mick for your First Life at Mark Davis' site Obsessionart.

In Second Life, Mick Payton is represented by his Second Life Art Gallery Manager, yours truly Zena Zemlja. Legal copies of the work of Mick for your Second Life are available in Mick's Second Life Art Gallery at Body, Mind & Spirit, which you find here.
