From the gay S/M/leather category, probably some of the most brutal, twistedly perverted artwork to hit the internet back in 1999, the artwork of of E Rohm depicts filthy, ragged criminals in prison settings, beaten, whipped, defecated on by crazed uniformed officers. Prisoners legs and arms amputated and trained as dogs. All of this and more can be viewed at his website "Punishment Camp" Does art imitate life?
From the preview page of the website:
"You dare to imagine the worst fears of mankind. Uncontrolled torture, humiliation and body destruction ( remember, the Germans literally peeled human skin and used it for lamp material, how much less disgusting is that than these fantasy drawings).
You are brave, and you will be reviled by many, but don't let anyone stop you. Its your turn to imagine, to draw, to fantasize, and if anyone does not appreciate it, they simply should not play with you." -email

"Rohm creates images to which he himself is presumably responsive. These are nightmarish
and depict scenes of harrowing depravity; the subject matter is strongly affecting and the technical execution shows a certain level of skill. These images are unique and show the artist has a capacity to engage in sustained and detailed thought about about appalling acts.
Whether this ability is attributable to an extreme form of pathological homophobia, misguided political views or some other cause is unclear from the sites' context." -email

"The best fucking site on the web. Every detail is absolutely right. Please keep producing more. Well worth paying for if those of us who live outside whichever country you on in can pay by credit card. E. Rohm is a genius." -email
