Alazar - Book Of Bondage 1
The artist's work is primarily inspired by the portrayal of women, encompassing a range of characteristics from submissive to dominant. This focus has guided their artistic journey into erotic illustration, comic book drawing, and paperback cover painting. Growing up in the 1960s, the artist was influenced by erotic scenes on television, which they would recreate through drawing and interactions with peers. In high school, sketches of women in various attire, such as cheerleader uniforms and footwear, were common in class notes. Peers began requesting drawings of specific girls and movie stars, laying the groundwork for a future custom order business. After completing college, the artist's career as a professional illustrator began, leading them to superhero comics and sci-fi book covers, where the portrayal of women in unique clothing was prevalent. Their significant involvement in erotic illustration started while working at Friendship Studios. The artist also illustrated a complete book and launched a custom art service, fulfilling nearly a thousand personal requests over the years. They later shifted their focus to general illustration, portraiture, and cover painting while maintaining a custom order clientele, contributing to various well-known erotic publications. When creating illustrations, the artist begins with an idea and develops a full-size sketch, which is then transferred to Bristol Board and rendered in black Prismacolor. References may include photographs or posing by their spouse. The primary goal in custom work is to ensure the buyer’s satisfaction by emphasizing detail and likeness. Additionally, Paul Alazar's bondage-themed artwork, particularly in "Book of Bondage 2," features intricate rope techniques and depicts women in bondage, showcasing a blend of fetish and artistry. Other notable works include "Panty Peeks" and "Big Top Bondage." The format of the artwork is jpg with a total of 67 pages.
