Stig

STIG is a reclusive artist known for his classic retro-style bondage art, characterized by intense, provocative still images. His work, primarily from the 1960s, features a stark pen-and-ink aesthetic reminiscent of American institutional pamphlets from the era. STIG’s illustrations depict female dominance and male submission, with men bound in contorted, uncomfortable positions—often whipped or teased by dispassionate, elegant women. His scenes emphasize awkward bondage, sadism, and depersonalization, creating an eerie, detached atmosphere. Common themes include whipping, CBT, smothering, and face-sitting, rendered with a raw, minimalist linework that amplifies the erotic tension. Despite his influence in femdom art, little is known about STIG’s personal life, with his origins possibly German. His art remains a cult favorite for its unapologetic intensity and unique retro vibe.
