Bound Up: March 7th to March 15th, 2021

Hey, all! This week’s share is all about being bound up – more bondage stuff. I am loving this series, and I hope you do, too! Full disclosure – I just got back from Alaska so I was late to posting this week, but I hope these illustrations make up for it. I’m going to post a separate blog post about Alaska as well… omg is it absolutely amazing. Completely abundant with wildlife – and I sure do love wild animals.

I think this bondage series has been so fun for me because I’ve been exploring poses that I’m not super familiar with. Usually, I draw people standing or seated, but with shibari bondage, people can be suspended, so they’re almost floating/flying. I think it challenged me in a new way, and it looks pretty cool.

My favorites from this week are “Upside Down and Around and Around,” “Just a Little Bit,” and “Keep Your Head High”. Do you have any favorites? Let me know! Message me on instagram or contact me through the website. Check out last week’s post as well.
