Alazar - Big Top Bondage

The focus of the artwork centers on the portrayal of women, exploring various facets such as dominance and submission. This passion for depicting beautiful women inspired the artist's 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 led to attempts at recreating these moments in drawings. A natural drawing ability allowed for accurate representations of actresses, capturing details such as clothing and footwear. In high school, sketches of girls in cheerleader uniforms and other attire became interwoven with class notes, and classmates began requesting drawings of specific girls or movie stars. After college, the artist transitioned to a professional career, influenced by a taste for women in unique attire found in superhero and sci-fi illustrations. A significant opportunity arose at Friendship Studios, deepening involvement in erotic illustration and leading to the creation of a custom art service that fulfilled numerous personal requests. Over time, the artist also engaged in regular illustration and portrait work, while maintaining a custom order clientele and contributing to known erotic publications. The creative process typically starts with an idea, evolving into a full-size sketch, which is then rendered on Bristol Board using black Prismacolor. Reference materials, such as photos or live poses, assist in achieving desired accuracy. In custom work, the primary goal is to satisfy the buyer's fantasy, with careful attention to detail and likeness. Additionally, the artist's bondage-themed works, particularly the "Book of Bondage" series, showcase intricate rope techniques and feature visually striking depictions of bound figures, emphasizing the allure of the subject matter.

Overall, the artist's body of work reflects a deep engagement with themes of femininity, fantasy, and eroticism, presented through a meticulous and imaginative artistic lens.
