Education

Morpheous attended the University of Western Ontario and acquired his bachelor’s degree in education and an honors degree in visual arts. He also has a broadcasting degree from Fanshawe College.[6]

Morpheous' Bondage Extravaganza

Lord Morpheous hosts an annual event called Morpheous' Bondage Extravaganza (also known as MBE), an annual public display of rope bondage during the Nuit Blanche festival in Toronto.[3] The event features 12 hours of rope bondage art ranging from simple bondage performed on the floor to aerial suspension.[5] This installation is not an official part of Nuit Blanche. According to the event website, the first Morpheous’ Bondage Extravaganza took place in a storefront window on Toronto's Queen Street West in 2007, and has since grown to a 4,000 square foot venue in Toronto.[5] The event is also live-streamed over the internet and has also recently expanded to include an MBE in Orlando, Florida and San Francisco, California[7]

KinkMe App

Morpheous is the creator of the KinkMe app.[8] This app is designed to help the user determine their “kink compatibility” with other KinkMe app users.[8] It instructs the user to fill out a checklist of kinky activities and then bump phones with another user to compare their kink interests and gauge their compatibility.[9]
