  1. Dear Karen, I was a member and discovered you knew my booklet A DRAWING A DAY, with some drawings from my collection of an American navy engineer who liked to draw BDSM subjects. Now I published at the famous underground publisher Le DernIer Cri (Marseille) a new book with 520 drawings from him: FOR SALE.
