Savannah Wishart is a multi-dimensional artist newly transplanted to
Bellingham, WA after building her life and business in Stockholm, Sweden
for much of the last decade. As a commercial photographer, she studied
business and advertising at the Brooks Institute of Photography, graduating
in 2012. Since then, she devoted her work at The Primal Revolution to writing,
food styling, and photography within the realms of “primal health.” Clients
have ranged from lululemon, Paleo Magazine, prAna, Rekyl Atlet, CrossFit
Journal, small gyms, inspired individuals - amongst others. Focusing on
paleo food, functional fitness, and nature, her work is a reflection of the
lifestyle she curates: harmoniously living with mother nature, training her
body with discipline, and fueling with clean energy.
In 2017, she stepped into the world of nude self portraiture and began to
build The Beast Goddess, a creative practice to heal after leaving an abusive
relationship. By removing the physical layers across our skin, we are better
able to begin to remove toxic layers built up in the mind. As an artist living
outside of the status quo, she has always believed that the way we live our
life is the greatest creative endeavor. Paired with the creative curation of
our lives, she sees the hard work we put into our training as synonymous
with shaping a sculpture. Discipline, sweat, and sometimes tears deserve to
be celebrated in the spotlight.
As an advocate for mental health, she brings awareness and conversation to
personal experiences with depression, anxiety, and body dysmorphia. Self
portraiture within the raw beauty of mother nature has a place to confront
all three, and integrate a practice of healing.
As a photographer, Savannah creates “forest bathing boudoir” experiences
from Bellingham, ranging as far north as Squamish and as far south as
Seattle. For those who are striving to build a more intentional life, she works
as a self-love life coach, supporting clients to live a more intentional life and
build the life of their dreams. As an educator, Savannah brings creative
conversations to the surface to normalize nudity and use tools like Shibari as
ways to heal trauma.
You can view her portfolio at beastgoddess.com , find her “Love is the Root”
self-love coaching here, and read some of her philosophical thoughts on her
Substack, “Reclaiming the Wild Woman.”
My name is Kiso Pony, or in human form, Aspen. I am the current Indiana Pet 2025 and a proud Trans Man hobby artist. I’ve been drawing on and off since middle school, beginning with furry art and gradually expanding my range over time. Since 2016, I have been an active member of the Leather and Kink community. I have found a home within both the pet and leather communities. I’m passionate about supporting these communities and always strive to ensure that every critter feels valued, whether or not they have someone with which to share their critter soul.
Check back soon for a link to order my coloring book.
Coloring books will be available for a donation to my titleholder travel fund.
The coloring book will not have the Kiso Pony watermark.

Born in a barn in Sweet Valley, Pennsylvania on June 16th, 1964, Mark O'Keefe grew up with his mother and two brothers. At the age of seven, he was given his first whip as a gift from an uncle returning from Texas. This is where his interest started. Like any child of seven, his attention span was short and the whip was soon forgotten.
In 1986, O'Keefe moved to San Diego, California. It was not until 1990 that whips were re-introduced back into his life --- rediscovering and refining the skills from earlier in his childhood.
The idea to paint canvas came in 2001 before moving to Oregon. There Mark was introduced to art classes and art history. At the end of 2003, he moved back to San Diego, still with the idea of whipping canvas. He was encouraged by many friends to try this form of art.
The art you see above is the heart and soul of Mark O'Keefe. Adding the hardware as "frames" is simply the adornments to the WhipArt --- giving the pieces a harder edge looking like it might just hurt you. For a short time, O'Keefe sold his art under Art That Can Hurt You.
In 2009, Mark moved to Cincinnati for a new life and the painting (or as he likes to call it whippalism) had to take a back seat. Now living with a neurotic cat and having a wonderful boy/partner, Mike.
Hopefully someday soon the work will continue. The paintings were created through much pain and for just pure pleasure.
For any questions, feel free to contact Mark at:

Thank You,
Mark O’Keefe
Elliot, known online as SmutDumpster, is a self-taught digital artist specializing in inclusive character design. They live in a small suburb of Baltimore, surrounded by snowball stands and cars driving too fast. When not drawing, Elliot spends their days starting endless craft projects, watching their two large dogs wrestle, and asking their fiancee if the dialogue they wrote makes sense. Despite identifying as asexual, Elliot proudly contributes to the wealth of queer-centric erotic art with a unique perspective. Their art is a love letter to the human experience, putting the often-forgotten lives into a creative spotlight.
