This is a single point binding that explores the social acceptability of sex. Done for my Artist Books class at MICA in the fall of 2010. The pin up girls represent the acceptable form, but these ladies have a secret. Drawn in invisible ink on each pin up (visible under black light) is a illustration of a fetish. From Bondage to Pony Play, these ladies have done it all. Definitions of the fetish are written on the back of each card for those that want to learn more.
Black light photos to follow!
