Pizzinga is not a made up nameÉitÕs real alright!! Chris! is my middle name. I used to hate being called Basil (wouldnÕt you?). Imagine signing my artworks as Basil of England??? No way Hozaiee!!Anyway, I was born in the mid 60Õs in Sicily/Italy. My dad worked for the USAF (United States Air Force) as an accountant at the base in Sicily. He, just like any other 25 year old, had ants in his pants (God rest his soul) and wanted to travel the world, so after 5 years in Italy the family decided to go to Australia, but that didnÕt work. My dad filed his medical, so we opted for second choice (Greece), from my mumÕs side, but that didnÕt work either so one day in desperation, money running out, my dad in a church in Greece crying his eyes out had a spiritual enlightenment. ÒGo to EnglandÉgo to EnglandÓ he heard whispers in his earÉand so we didÉwe packed our bags (again) and drove from Athens all the way to the U.K. Took 7 days and nightsÉfor me and my brother it was a journey of a lifetimeÉWOWÉwe went through Yugoslavia, Germany, Austria, France, and finally took the ferry here from Bolougne to Dover (UK)ÉI still remember the date, we landed on the shores of the UKÉ1st of September, 1970É
Chris! And womenÉIÕve always loved women. IÕve been spoilt, pampered by women since the age of 3. I was looked after by my gran (dads mum) who ran a nightclub in Italy. She was very, very sexyÉblonde beehive hair, tight silky dresses, nylons and spiked heels (guess where I got my art ideas from?) I remember cuddling her legs when small. She used to say, `Cold again Chris?Õ
I didnÕt understand my fascination for legs, but even at that age it made me feel good. I used to stare at her shapely legs foreverÉI think thatÕs why IÕm a leg and heel lover. At school I noticed the girls even more and fell in love at the age of 11. Wow! I can still remember herÉI drew her but it was a naughty picture. I guess thatÕs where it all started. I gave her the drawing, kissed her on the cheek, shouted `I love youÕ and ran offÉafter the school holidays she never came back, she had moved awayÉI was in tears.
Then I started drawing other girls. My friends wanted drawings from meÉnaughty pictures, so I did, and I was SELLING them to my friends! You pay me L1 for 1 drawing and thatÕs how it all beganÉ
Everyone wanted art from meÉeven for science projects, school plays. I had to do all the background artworks, fliers for upcoming events, etcÉetcÉmy art teacher was so impressed with my work (she was even more impressed when I drew her in fully fashioned stockings and high heels) she told me I had to pursue this further, and college was the only solution. And so I did. I took her advice and straight after school I went to art college for 4 yearsÉtook all the exams, then at the age of 18, packed my bags and off I went to Europe to see the world.
Before long sexy magazines were taking my work in droves, especially the mags in Italy. They loved the bizarre stuff I did and so I had a few publications I was working under my beltÉI was getting offers for works from Dominatrixes who wanted to live out a fantasy situation with their slave, and so we would go through small details on how I should draw her and what her submissive should look like and what he should be doingÉthis was heaven for meÉI felt at ease with dominant women.
I knew about Stanton, Bilbrew and Ward (and the rest), good mentors for me. I learned a lot from their work, but still felt they lacked the `extra edgeÕ I put into my art, which up to today IÕm still mastering.
I got sick of Europe, living rough and after saving quite enough money I decided to come back to England, and I did so, establishing myself as a freelance cartoonist, working for even more magazines than in Europe. My name got around alright!! Everyone was asking for art. Bondage, S&M and Fetish was a priority here (Perverted Bastards!Ébut who cares, weÕre all the same underneath). So I got working and havenÕt stopped sinceÉI draw because I love drawing. I love women and IÕm a bigger pervert than you!!!!
Chris! Of England
REBÕS NOTES ON ÒCHRIS! of ENGLAND
IÕve known Chris! since he was a young pup. IÕve seen his artwork progress for at least 15 years. Before the advent of the Internet we exchanged hundreds of letters, and I published many dozens of his amazing art piecesÉI watched as the first magazine of his art was printed and distributed throughout the worldÉnow we email on a daily basisÉ
I recently laid a huge shock on Chris! I began emailing him some of the first images he had ever sent to meÉover 500 art pieces in total that he had forgotten about, that I had saved all these yearsÉ
Only a small group of fetish artists have survived the tests of timeÉWard, Stanton, Eneg, Bilbrew, Mory, Thomas, Van Rod, etcÉChris! has already achieved this level at a very young age. With any luck at all, we will see thousands more fetish images created by his kinky pen.
Chris has created a CD-ROM of hundreds of his images that you may purchase. The price is only $55, which includes postage. Well worth it, as the images are completely different from what we have presented on this site.
