Robert Bishop (artist) explained

Robert K. Bishop
Birth Date:1945
Birth Place:Michigan, US
Occupation:Graphic artist
Known For:BDSM art

Robert K. Bishop (1945–1991) was a bondage artist, author, photographer and bondage rigger best known for his images of restrained and gagged women published by the House of Milan, for which he also worked as production manager.[1] [2]

Robert Bishop was born in Michigan, US in 1945.[3] He studied art at Michigan Art School.[4]

His main work period was during the 1970s and early 1980s.[4] His work, mostly depicting women in stringent bondage, was largely monochrome, rendered using pencil, ink and airbrush.[1] Many of the gags and restraints depicted in his art were invented by him.

Disputes over Harmony Productions' "love bondage" ethos led to his leaving Harmony Productions for House of Milan to follow his own path. He also worked for Centurian Publications[5] and produced cover illustrations for numerous bondage novels by F. E. Campbell. He also both wrote and illustrated a series of stories describing the misadventures of the character "Fanni Hall".[6]

He also made a small number of works depicting men being dominated by women.[6] It has been suggested that Bishop also published under the pseudonym Ashely, but this is disputed.[4] [7]

Jeff Gord cited Bishop's work as an inspiration for his own work.[8]

Robert Bishop died by suicide in 1991, at the age of 46.[9]
