Michael Manning

Thank you Mister Manning… Michael Manning is an artist in the US, who has created a series of graphic novels based around the Spider Garden. It is described as the “home of Shaalis the Sacred Androgyne and the Metal Spider Clan - an organic self-sustaining environment in which erotic experimentation is raised to an artistic level and the interplay of dominance and submission brings a new kind of freedom…”

Some of Michael’s artwork from the novels can be viewed on this site, along with his designs for tattoos, costume design and photography. His work is nothing short of amazing, inspired by Japanese animation, fairy tale book illustartion, American and European comix and mythology of many cultures. We hope you enjoy his work as much as we did at Sex in Art.
