Sardax
Sardax is the pseudonym for a London-based English fetish artist specialising in female domination fantasy art.[1] He has been described as "the great master of the femdom/fetish cartoon world", "the doyen of femdom art", and "the master of femdom art".[2][3][4]
He started his fetish art career when a dominant woman requested he produce an illustration for her.[1] While his art usually features women dominating men, he has also drawn images of submissive women.[5] His work often features high-heeled shoes, worn by both men and women.[6] He has stated that he has been influenced by Aubrey Beardsley and the Art Nouveau movement.[7]
His work has also appeared repeatedly in numerous publications, including Leg Show and Skin Two magazine.[1][5] He has also provided the cover illustrations for numerous books, as well as providing interior illustrations for other books.[8] and is also known for his numerous portraits of professional dominatrices.[3][4]
In addition to his magazine work and private commissions, Sardax has published two books, The Art of Sardax, published in 2007, and his own translation into English of Leopold von Sacher-Masoch's Venus in Furs.[9] He has also collaborated with the clothing designer Afira.[10]
Although he is devoted to illustrating fantasies of female domination, he has stated that real-world female domination is not part of his lifestyle.[7]
