Years ago, I stumbled across Usenet on a very boring night shift on my experiment. Imagine my excitement at finding a newsgroup just for bondage pictures. Then imagine downloading images for the first time and finding as number four one of Felix's images of Dana. I was awestruck. That feeling remains to this day. Dana seems too ethereal to be a bondage model. Drawing her was very strange. I had to agonize and force myself to touch pencil to paper for each line because each addition risked destroying the purity. I don't know how Felix brought himself to tie her up- it must have been like tying up an Angel. One helpless look and I'd have been rushing to free her... admit it, wouldn't you?

The white pastel on black paper portrait is an experiment. You can tell that I'm not used to it- I keep trying to use it like pencil! The technique is a bit scrappy but I think it is a reasonably attractive picture (though it doesn't really bear much resemblance to Dana).

These portraits are based on reference photos by Felix Darthmouth of archw.com and are done with his full permission.

I don't know of any other places to find Dana's work. If anyone does, or if anyone can put me in touch with Dana herself, please please e-mail me!
