 |  | | "Where reality is transcended through excess and the mind's eye focuses on the flesh..." -- from Cathexis Manning has a very distinctive illustration style. His sexually explicit images and boundary-pushing subject matter are made even more striking by his use of bold, black lines set against a stark white background. Michael credits his early exposure to Japanese animation, fairy tale book illustration, the artwork found in American and European comic books, as well as the mythology of worldwide cultures as influences and inspiration for his work.

Within, where leather concubines wait to serve Hir every whim, Shaalis walks the twilight halls - a capricious and erotic ghost."

I often bring my camera along on bike rides in the city, to clubs, on hikes in the desert and by the seashore - wherever I think I might see something inspiring or out of the ordinary. Many of the photographic textures on this site were captured by my trusty Yashica during my wanderings in various parts of the Bay Area and California." - Michael Manning | | Books"Hydrophidian" is the second installment in the Spider Garden trilogy, this stunningly kinky and elegant fantasy has all the power of mythology and every bit of the seductive heat of the best pornography you've ever imagined. Never has such a fantastic world been imagined in such brilliant visual style,and with unsparing and lascivious attention to human (and metahuman) erotic detail. The plot is worthy of Grimm, Burroughs or Pauline Reage: In the palace of the Water Snake Clan, ruled by two sibilant and sadistic half-human sisters, the most unimaginable yet balletic exercises in submission are mercilessly executed. But despite the ministrations of the rubber naiads, the sisters' gues, Lord Verio, pines for his beautiful, lost Okami." (Review courtesy of Spectator Magazine)
