London gothic artist Vlad Quigley and Hustler contract girl Jessica Jaymes have launched their official online merchandise shop, The Vampire’s Wardrobe, to coincide with the start of a monthly Internet graphic novel called “Varney the Vampyre: Restoration Punk."
As Quigley’s muse, Jaymes is the likeness for the majority of female roles in the novel billed as "highbrow erotica for an adult Internet audience."
Varney the Vampyre is described as "the debauched James Bond of vampires, full of devilish charm, constantly getting into outrageous scrapes... particularly if there's a beautiful woman involved."
Varney's bawdy personality is close to that of the real life 17th Century rake John Wilmot, the Earl of Rochester. Quigley has spent 20 years extensively researching the graphic novel's 17th century English setting.
“I collaborate with nude models (who have male fanbases),” Quigley said. "However ,my extremely loyal fans are generally an intelligent, articulate, well-read female erotica audience who (ordinarily) wouldn't be seen dead looking at my models... but they tell me they relate emotionally to the spiritual depth imbedded within my erotic art. And through my art they 'adopt' my models, taking them into their hearts and become extremely protective of them."
There will be also be clothing available online at "The Vampire's Wardrobe" to match the novel.
