VoxBody Vignette: Rope & Life Drawing

It's been so long, but we are finally back with not one but THREE life drawing nights!.....Calling all sketch artists (or curious non-drawing observers!) for our beloved VoxBody Vignette Rope & Life Drawing events on 9/21, 10/26 and 12/7!

SEPT 21: Ann & Opal

Unravel a different art of restriction and expression with Ann and Opal in an evening of ribbon bondage and life drawing.

Gleam inspiration as satin is transformed into restraint in the hands of a shibari enthusiast.

Through a variety of expressive poses, a combination of natural and studio lighting, explore contrast between the roughness of rope and the tenderness of ribbons on skin.

OCT 26: Blue & Em

Blue and Em will share a sweet, artsy tying session that celebrates Em's pregnancy! We hope you'll join us for this special opportunity to adore and adorn Em and to honor this incredibly special moment in her life! (She'll be in her eighth month of pregancy for this session!)

DEC 7: Inky Void & NotYourAnything

Join Inky Void and NotYourAnything for a switchy evening of fucking around and finding out. The shapes will be interesting, the suffering will be aesthetic, and the vibe will be a lil’ bit freaky.

1. We have limited space available at tables. If you need to assure you have a seat at a table, please email us ahead of time and we can reserve a spot for you!
2. Otherwise, there is plenty of floor seating on puzzle mats with pillows.
3. Bring some wine or tea to sip on and your art supplies!

She has also presented at RopeCraft, Bondage Expo Dallas, Desert Bound and Karada House’s QueerRope event. Blue is an enthusiastic sWitch, believes bondage education should address both sides of the rope, and is so proud of the Vox-community. Find her on IG @miss_true_blue.

Em/Amermaidrenegade (she/her) OCT 26

Em embodies bold and passionate self expression in her artistic endeavors as a model, rope bottom, and vocalist in the SF Bay Area. Emily is deeply committed to advocating for body positive representation and inclusion of individuals with larger bodies and/or disabilities in rope, kink, and artistic communities.

NotYourAnything (she/they) DEC 7

NotYourAnything is a San Francisco-based rope bottom and masochist with a penchant for hanging upside down. Through rope, she finds joy in suffering, exploratory aesthetics, and committing to the bit. She has played and performed across both coasts since 2015.

Find her on IG @notyranything

Inky Void (they/she) DEC 7

Inky Void is a glittery, bratty rope (s)Witch that thrives on mischief and whimsy. Their style is equal parts playful and sadistic, where an intentional dance on their partner’s edges becomes a tool for making strange and interesting shapes. They bring a silly, sparkly energy that is joyfully weird to witness, and you’ll never know whether their next move will be devious or delightful.
