Laurent Lebeau is an Illustrator & artist who's for nearly 25 years displayed in the erotic BDSM world . He has worked for many specialized magazines in USA, UK, France, Germany and Holland. He has been self publisher for almost ten years and is the author of several comics and illustrated stories.

More than an illustrator, he exhibits his talent throughout the world and his paintings have often been exhibited in galleries and clubs in the US (mostly at New York City) in various European countries such as the Czech Republic (5 times) Germany, Belgium, Holland, England, Spain, Austria ... He also exhibited twice in Japan (Tokyo and Osaka)

He is also a portrait painter and he captured the feature of many known dominatrixes in the BDSM circle. He continues to create beautiful artworks. In Osaka, he even received congratulations from the Japanese community who discovered in the artist, the soul of a Mangaka.

Moreover, one of his last paintings (7 Sins) was made in this Manga spirit.
This Japanese adventure motivated him to create "The Fortress of Madame Yo" in which the technique of Manga (in its graphic and layout aspect) espouses the aspect of the typically European comic strip. The finish on Photoshop in the decorations and retouching of black and white embellished this colossal work of 2200 hours spent to the creation of the scenario, the dialogs, the artwork to the final book page setting.
