 Drummer will be included

What a hot concept for Fans of Fetish!
 An exhibit of the artists we featured in Drummer, the magazine that helped create the very leather culture it reported on!

 No other magazine published and validated so many historic erotic artists— 
including our art director, the cartoonist~

 A. Jay, Rex, Domino, The Hun, Bill Ward, Chuck Arnett, Etienne, 

Tom of Finland, Rick Castro, Robert Mapplethorpe

and a hundred other fetish artists with a career goal to canonize their reputations in the legendary Drummer that from 1975-1999

 was read literally by millions.

            When the Leather Archives & Museum asked me to help draft thumbnail biographies of these talented sex-artists, I gladly assisted in the LA&M’s development of this traveling exhibit already seen by thousands. After all, one of the LA&M founders with Chuck Renslow was Drummer publisher, Anthony DeBlase. 
 I welcome these LA&M endorsed artists from the Drummer Salon
 to Hollywood, and to the walls of Rick Castro’s remarkable fetish gallery~ Antebellum.

leather historian and author.
