Welcome to the Spider Garden!
 Welcome to the Spider Garden, 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...
I've named this site after the title of my first graphic novel and the series of books that followed. It's my intention that it serve as a starting point for people who are just discovering the world of the Garden on the web and in print. It also presents an opportunity for both new and long-time fans to view unpublished illustrations, photographs, and documentation of live events based on my characters and artwork.
The long-awaited second volume of the TRANCEPTOR series "IRON GAUGE VOL.I" is now on sale at NBM Publishing:

"INAMORATA: THE EROTIC ART OF MICHAEL MANNING", a 152 page hardcover collection of erotic portraits and gallery pieces with introductory essays by Midori and Patrick Califia is now available from Last Gasp:

Check the Events section for upcoming book signings and gallery shows. My LiveJournal entries have the latest information about my artwork, new publications and projects, and site updates. Your comments and questions are always welcome even if you're not a LiveJournal user.
For collectors who wish to purchase original art, private commissions, and tattoo designs, I am now accepting debit/credit cards purchases through PayPal.
The site has expanded quite a bit since it went on line in January of 2004 and there's much more ahead. Future additions will include:
- Profiles of all the major characters from the Spider Garden and Tranceptor
series.
- Previews of forthcoming solo and collaborative projects including Tranceptor: Iron
Gauge, the Tranceptor: Alliances mini-series, and my first full-color book Arcana.
- A recommended listening list of music that has inspired my work.
- More photos and stories from signings, performances, convention appearances,
art shows, etc.
So enjoy your visit to the Garden and return as often as you like.
Peace ..::MM::..
