Juan Maeda is a Japanese bondage artist that was born in born in 1939, and he is well known for his intense illustration style. He worked on the graphic version of Oniroku Dan’s Flower and Snake in 1972. I love Maeda’s work because it’s full of drama, pain, and beauty. Check out this killer collection of some of his illustrations, and if you can find it, his really rare book – only 300 copies were made!
