This site features the ropework of Master Jack and the photographic talents of Walt Meister, providing an fantastic combination.
Site Content Quality
This site is about rope bondage, plain and simple. What you will find here is some of the top sluts (Stacy Burke, Julie Simone, August Lee, Katie Jordon) tightly bound and beautifully photographed. The focus is exclusively on rope bondage, and with a few exceptions you won't find gags, blindfolds, cuffs or restraints. What you will find is Japanese-style rope chains, practiced with a distinctive style and beautifully recorded.
Bondage-Arts.Com has only been online since Janaury 2002, and in three months time, they have put together more than 20 galleries and collected over 1,800 images. It is worth mentioning that one of the site's features is high resolution photographs, which will generally provide photos larger than most screens, with exquisite detail. These men love photography almost as much as they enjoy bondage!
The pictures are, of course, all exclusive, and they are done in an artistic, even classic, style. Ranging from the humorous Stacy Burke shoot, �California Girl -Japanese Ropes� to the more serious and strenuous, Julie Simone 'Extreme Hogtie' you get to see, up close and personal, Punisher Jack at work. The results are definately worth checking out!
Perhaps as important, the women seem to enjoy themselves on the shoots as well (I've never seen photos of Stacy Burke having so much fun!). I think that also tells you a lot about the people running the site and about what you can expect from them in the future. They are enjoying their work and that pleasure is evident in everything that they do there.
Updates twice a week. If they keep this shooting schedule, they should easily double the number of photos on the site in the next 3 months.
Site Design and Innovation
Besides the image gallery, there isn't much more to the site. Its real contribution is both in the quality of the photography and of the pics produced. I mean where else are you going to find 2000 x 1400 resolution shots of Asian rope ties?
The layout of the site is solid and it is easy to navigate and find new material, with the most recent shoots posted first. Each shoot is layed out in a series of large thumbnails and comprise 5 to 6 pages per shoot, often resulting in close to 100 pictures documenting the style and technique of bondage used.

Site Value
If rope ties is your thing, you are not going to find a better deal on the web. Bondage-Arts.com offers a two week trial membership for $2.95 and their standard membership is only $5.00 per month. That isn't going to last (though they promise no increases for members who maintain membership with the site). The 3 and 6 month deals are even better at $8.50 and $12.00 respectively. Membership options include both one time sign-ups and recurring membership options. At $5.00 a month, how can you go wrong? |
