I was born and raised in New Jersey. I'm primarily self-taught in cartooning although I did go to college to learn graphic art and design. My first published bondage cartoons appeared in Harmony magazines in 1998. A few years later I posted my work at Elkie Cooper's site and Helpless Heroines. Finally saw my art posted at Lorelei's Bedroom Bondage site and later at Bonage Babylon. In 2002 I started Andre's Toon Damsels at www.women-tied.com. Then in April of 2004, my Yahoo Group was formed with the intent of showing my work plus the work of others who prefer non sexually graphic damsel-in-distress art. Some of my bondage art influences have been John Willie, Jon Woods and Dan DoFogh.
