So last night was the opening for Nancy Peach’s exhibit “Unspoken Bond” which was a series of oil paintings of Madison Young in my ropes.

Now Nancy & I decided to not meet one another till the opening. We discussed what was wanted for her reference images and that was it. Lydia photographed Madison & I and turned over the images. I also didn’t want to see which images Nancy chose to paint.

Well, last night I arrived at the gallery to find Nancy dancing at the top of the stairs waiting for me to arrive, along with my beautiful wife Janice & a very sexy house guest K. We kissed, made pleasantries and entered the gallery together. WOW, it is not often I am left speechless but I still cant find the words to describe an 8 foot painting of myself. I will just say I am humbled……

Not sure who was filming but we also did a performance last night with video hired by the artist, Nancy Peach, who painted the 8 foot painting of Madison & I. As soon as I get footage & images from our performance “Blind Faith” I will post them.

Here are the paintings Nancy did form photographs of Madison & I that are on exhibit at the Center for Sex & Culture.

Here are a couple of the photos she worked off of by Lydia.

Lochai Working At Hogtied.com

The following was originally posted at Behind Kink. Watch the announcement video here.

As soon as Matt Williams announced that he would be stepping down as the Director of Hogtied.com in order to make time for his new role as Creative Director, the task of finding a qualified replacement became the company’s number one priority. After a careful search and audition process, Kink.com has officially extended the offer to award-winning fine art bondage photographer and rigger Lochai.

“Hogtied was our first site and we still consider it our flagship,” said Kink.com founder and CEO Peter Acworth. “We’re very pleased to bring Lochai on to continue the Hogtied tradition. He’s one of the best-known bondage riggers around and for years he’s been out there in the community, both as a photographer and as an educator. Most importantly, he really gets what’s fun and beautiful and hot about women in bondage — he understands the Kink.com aesthetic. I’m very much looking forward to working with him.”

Lochai’s inaugural Hogtied update, a sizzling 56-minute scene featuring 22-year-old beauty Isobel Wren, was shot last month when he was auditioning for his new role. In it, Wren is placed in Lochai’s trademark Japanese-influenced rope bondage and subjected to a stunning number of screaming orgasms, including a copious squirt. Throughout, Lochai’s sardonic humor tempers the intense bondage and stimulation.

Lochai observes: “Everything that’s done in any of the Kink.com sites is real, so it’s not like I’m acting a part. I’m actually being myself. I’m sarcastic, I’m a smart ass, I laugh during scenes and I also console when someone’s upset. I’m going to be doing my real play, my real life, within the walls of the Armory because that’s what’s expected by the customers — and that’s what’s expected by Kink.com. I’m going to be super comfortable there, because I feel like I’m home.”

A longtime Florida resident, Lochai will be relocating to the San Francisco area in September in order to be close to Kink.com. He says he’ll continue his work teaching bondage and SM lifestyle classes, both at the half-dozen conferences he traditionally attends annually, and in the San Francisco area.

Lochai expressed great enthusiasm about being offered the position. “Every person who’s ever sat down in front of me in a classroom, or who has surrounded me out in a club to watch what I’m doing, has wanted this job. They want to get paid to tie up beautiful women and get them off — and that’s my job. It’s a wonderful feeling, and an affirmation that my kink pays off.”
