John Willie

ByKaren Posted on Updated on Art Gallery

~ 1902 - 1962

John Alexander Scott Couts was born in Singapore and grew up in England.
In the mid-1930s, he began working for a Sydney-based fetish club as an illustrator and photographer; around this time he began a relationship with Holly Faram, one of his models, and they married in 1942.
Around 1945-47 Coutts moved to New York City via Montreal, in order to publish his bondage and fetish magazine Bizarre; Holly chose to remain in Australia. At this time he adopted the name 'John Willie'. To see photographs visit my other site.

As a bondage artist he is best known for his character Sweet Gwendoline. After publishing 20 issues of Bizarre he moved to Hollywood, California. He developed a brain tumor in 1961 and was forced to stop his mail order business. He destroyed his archives and returned to England, where he died.

The artworks are sorted in albums by subjects like Bondage, Ponygirls, Bdsm, Corset, Device Bondage, Spanking. There are no complete comics stored since I focus on the art.
