Who is this "ProDeviant" guy anyway?

About the artist:

 ProDeviant is an artist, designer, and leatherworker who specializes in Dark, BDSM, and fetish imagery.  He has been part of the scene, real-time, for longer than he'll admit.  His first commercial work was promotional art for a professional dungeon in 1990.  Soon thereafter he created product illustrations for a bondage gear catalogue and packaging for a nationally distributed line of bondage cuffs.  He began organizing and promoting kinky costume and theme events in 1994. Since then he has hosted a wide variety of events, everything from a “Medieval Dungeon Feast” to a series of nights for Whiplash Chicago at Spybar. Perhaps the most notorious were the annual Halloween bashes which cumulated with “Bondage Rises from the Grave” at the LRA, formally the Leather Rose Association, in 2004. He has taken various roles in fetish performances as well, appearing as an actor, creating costumes and props, writing scripts, and directing for performances at Berlin nightclub, Bigtop Bizarre,  the LRA, and Whiplash.

Since 2002 ProDeviant has lent his talents to educational organizations such as the LRA and TNGC, The Next Generation Chicago, doing public presentations on topics such as ponyplay, erotic costuming, and working behind the scenes to help promote the groups to a wider audience. Places ProDeviant’s work have appeared include the 1901 Gallery, Shibaricon, Burning Man, Gothicfest,  Leather Retreat, the Victito Nocturnis Ball, House of Shadowfind pony weekends, Bondage-a-GoGo, the Leather Sins Holiday Fetish Market, Saturnalia,  the NELA Fetish Fair Fleamarket Fetish Art Gallery Exhibit, The International Mr. Leather (IML) vendor market, and Black Market Chicago. Several of ProDeviant’s pieces are part of the permanent art collection at Galleria Domain 2. Photos featuring his work have been published in Equus Eroticus and Marquis. ProDeviant PonyTack was used in the taping of an episode of the Tyra Banks Show in 2006.  

ProDeviant is currently working on a series of erotic graphic novels and on expanding his line of leather gear.  ProDeviant’s art and leatherwork is available online at http://www.prodeviant.com
