This in- depth exploration shines the spotlight on the man behind the drawings of buxom beauties and the photographs of expertly executed erotic bondage, delving into • his early life from his 1902 birth in England as John Coutts through his education, military service, immigration to Australia, and employment as a seaman and laborer; • the chance encounter with a network of high-heel fetishists that incited John’s discovery of his community and his calling in the world of erotic art; • his relationship with model, wife, and muse Holly Faram; • his move to the United States and his place in the mid-20th-century fetish scene populated by artists, publishers, editors, and models such as Charles Guyette, Robert Harrison, Edythe Farrell, Irving and Paula Klaw, Bettie Page, and Eric Stanton; • the debut of his groundbreaking Bizarre magazine in 1946, through which he created a space for like-minded people to share and celebrate fantasies—from high heels and cross-dressing to blindfolds and bondage—that the mainstream world found “bizarre”; • his career-long struggles against the forces of governmental oversight; and • how the murders by so-called “Glamour Girl Killer” Harvey Glatman helped spur John’s eventual disillusionment with the world of fetish art he helped build. Jane Garrett is an archivist and writer whose personal research focuses on the history of sexuality in America. A collector of John Willie’s work for over 20 years, she also has experience as an artists’ model and teacher. She lives in Washington State with her husband, Rik.
