I love the little ankle cuffs on the bench, he has a way of setting a scene and letting you imagine the different encounters she has in the bar. :)

Stocks vs. Pillory

Apparently stocks restrained just ankles or just arms, in a lying or seated position. Pillory's restrained the neck as well, and in a standing position (that word and "pillar" might have common origins). Stocks were considered a less severe punishment for lesser crimes. Pillory, given the position, also functioned as whipping posts. Who knew? Learned something new today...

I'm pretty sure both words can be applied ot the same device, but i could be mistaken

@Anonimous: Surely you mean stocks and not stockade?

Very awesome, a work of pure art as always. One problem, though: That's a stockade, not a pillory.

I (the aforementioned guest) didn't mean to dismiss others fantasies. Some were suggesting that the bondage was too severe and (I thought) asking the artist to make it less severe. I was simply expressing that I appreciate the severity of it and don't want this kind of art to go away. Also, art isn't (IMO) totally open to interpretation. If I interpreted this painting to be of a unicorn, you could disagree. Some things about this are objective, like the fact that the girl is smiling, which should suggest that the bondage is, at least in her opinion, NOT to severe. I would even argue that the fact that she is smiling means that by definition the bondage is not to severe. I don't think this is an interpretation of art, I think this is a statement about bondage. In conclusion, I think the artist should make more art like this and that people who dislike this because they find it too excessive needn't look. Peace ~Guest

The bird looks so curious

That's one of my favorite pieces of bondage furniture she's locked in. One of these days I plan on having my own, but until then I can only dream. Ironic how the people are the ugly ones, while the witch is so pretty.
