One of the dommes I’ve played with in recent years has posed a question which, for the moment, has me stumped. She’s decorating a space and wondered where she could buy vintage BDSM prints or photographs. She’s looking for something more artist than pornographic, although of course what was porn in the last century can be art in the next! I’ve no shortage of sources for these kind of images online, but I’m not exactly sure where you can buy high quality prints to hang on the wall. Can anyone out there help?
Obviously for contemporary commissioned artwork I’d recommend Sardax. For a random grab bag of who knows what you’ll get, there’s always ebay. But I’m unaware of a site specializing in vintage BDSM prints. It’s also a hard thing to search for, as porn tends to dominate the results. The best I could find was this, which offers modern prints but nothing vintage. So does anyone have any pointers to help out? Feel free to leave a comment or email me.
I’m not sure if the above image is the kind of thing this lady is searching for but, as an example of vintage artwork with a kinky twist, I like it.
Difficult indeed. Have you seen these? It’s not clear the people behind the sites sell the artwork as well, but one can always ask.

And maybe the people behind

can help you along.

This is the work of the greatest pin up artist ever, Gil Elvgren. Probably from the late 50’s when he did a lot of puppy stuff.
