So far my favorite artists have either retired, died or
vanished off the face of the earth, so now to a couple that are still very much
active.
Anyone who enjoyed the classic British spanking magazines
like Janus must love Ian Hamilton’s work. His drawings run the full gamut
from subtle spankings to full-on BDSM action, but all with a certain refined
British style that makes them the spiritual successor to all those detailed
stories of schoolgirls, secretaries and stuck-up authority figures getting well
and truly spanked.
His kinky comic strips exist in a parallel world where
well-bred ladies get their curvaceous rumps spanked by lecherous old men at
every opportunity, and really echo the excellence of the old spanking
magazines:
He does great standalone drawings that focus on lovely, curvy women receiving humiliating spankings, their bottoms either bare for punishment
or glowing through taut clothing:
His male spankers are the very definition of 'dirty old
men', and almost always wear a glorious sneer (and often a glorious something
else straining in their trousers!) that indicates that they relish thrashing some pert young maiden on a spurious charge...
...before both of them enjoy a spot of red-cheeked rumpy pumpy:
Hamilton also does an excellent line in severe old harridans
who have been tasked with turning well-to-do young ladies and/or malingering
strumpets into proper, respectful members of society, and take their job VERY
seriously…
...yet are as much 'dirty old women' as their male
equivalents and aren’t averse to a little pleasure from their
subs…
Hamilton’s tales from his finishing schools, Dothegirls Hall
(a formidable finishing school on the Yorkshire moors) and Saint Catherine’s (a
Catholic stronghold high in the Swiss Alps), are the best examples of the
hypocrisy (and hotness) of these fantasies. After all, where else but in a spanking story could a
stony-faced nun tan an unfortunate lady’s behind for daring to wear a bikini in
the holidays, and then pack her off to give a bit of ‘oral penance’ to a
visiting priest?
Hamilton's strict old harridans love humiliating men
and blistering their bare bottoms just as much as they enjoy reddening pert
female rumps. Hamilton's FM art was actually how I first encountered his work,
and the agonizing welts and humiliating public punishment that are staples of
his drawings work just as well when it's cocks and balls exposed in front of a
audience:
He also has a few nice examples of pure sex art floating
about, though I haven’t found many of these:
Hamilton is still drawing. He releases a selection of
drawings each year and all can be bought (along with several other miscellaneous
collections) at http://graphicspanking.wordpress.com
I’ve bought his artwork through this route and and it’s well
worth it. You email him, and for a very reasonable price (roughly $20 for 60
pieces of art) he sends you the artworks, so there aren’t any inconveniences
like monthly subscriptions to deal with. At a time when many spanking artists
seem to be shutting up shop because of a lack of money or appreciation for
their work, I think it’s well worth paying $20 to keep at least one excellent
artist in pencils.
ALSO - an appeal. Ian tells me he has lost the artwork that
made up his 2011 collection due to hard drive failure. If you bought this
please get back in touch with him so he can replenish his archive - it must be
devastating for an artist to lose work like this.
Ian H. is definitely one of my favorites! I love the way the gentlemen in some of his illustrations are visibly excited when administering spankings! Mmm.spectacular!
ReplyDeleteYes, prominent erections on spanker are always a delight... I always prefer to see spankers enjoying themselves, it really adds an extra dimension compared to when they just look angry or morally outraged or (worst of all) stoic.
