Artists I love: Red Rump

My next featured artist is very much still active, and regularly posts his work on his blog. The strict ladies and submissive men in RedRump's art seem to exist in a glorious realm where the 'golden age' of the 1950s never ended.

In reality it may not have been a particularly nice time to live, but the fashions and attitudes of the Fifties make them the ultimate inspiration for spanking fantasies.

In terms of fashion, RedRump captures the sexiness of the strict lady perfectly. I've said before how he is one of the best for satisfying my wristwatch fetish, but he also features loads of other classic adornments that I have always associated with the strict, motherly type: corsets, necklaces, spotty tops, strappy sandals, aprons, sharp business suits, stripy thigh-length socks, elegant ballgowns, opera gloves, and (hubba-hubba!) kneesocks with high heels all feature in his work:

 

And in terms of attitude, few capture the sternness of the no-nonsense wife or matriarch so well as RedRump. I can almost imagine them as my own wife or mother, which as I've said before has quite an effect...

 

RedRump only draws female spankers (as far as I know), though sometimes a naughty young lady does get taken across the matriarchal knee - and he does blushing female bottoms extremely well!

 

But the main focus is on men getting spanked. You get the feeling that in this world the first thing a male gets is a smack on the ass from the doctor who delivered him, and the second thing he gets is handed over to his mother for years of blistering hairbrush spankings. Until he's old enough to get married, at which point his wife will take over the blistering...

Though I'm sure mother will want to reassert her authority now and again. Perhaps she'll surprise him at bedtime...

And there's always that cute babysitter his wife hired from the local college, who turned out to have a very low tolerance for older men staring at her coltish calves...

Not to mention the couple next door who pop round every Friday for a bit of fun...

Or that gang of girls who introduced him to the sorority paddle (and college cane!)...

Or to all those exotic maids, barmaids, hotel receptionists etc. who always knew what to do with you after that first night and hearing the smack of the wife's hairbrush through the hotel room door!

Yes, Red Rump has certainly created a world where men only wear the pants so that women can pull them down!

Artists I love: Jay Em

I thought I'd start the New Year with a selection of some more of my favorite spanking artists...
There's much to love about Jay Em's work. For a start, he drew one of the most perfect belts I have ever come across in spanking artwork. Can’t you just feel it snapping across your ass?

If you want an artist who specializes in agonizing spankings by Amazonian-but-still-realistic women, Jay Em is the one. I think it’s the looks on his ladies' faces that really do it for me...

 

 

They know they’re in charge and can be as merciless as they like...

 

 

 

And they aren’t going to stop at spanking to let their man know who’s boss:

 

 

 

Jay Em's work ties in well with my ideals of matriarchal discipline. After all, many of us long to be naked and howling across the matriarchal knee, and this is clearly a world where men (or at least, middle-class white-collar men) are spanked HARD and regularly, not just by their wives but also by mothers, in-laws, friends, doctors...

 

 

 

Imagine with me if you will, as a grown adult, being spanked by your actual mother. Not by a women role-playing your mother, or even by your mother-in-law or an auntie. Your mother, the women who brought you up and no doubt exerted considerable influence over your life, turns up on your doorstep and announces that she is going to spank your bare bottom, no matter that you're

married/cohabiting/living with housemates. I don't know about you, but the thought makes me weak at the knees in a way that few other spanking scenarios do. If this happened in real life, I doubt that I or anyone else could really resist the order to drop my pants for some motherly discipline, no matter how inappropriate it may seem! It is these feelings of shame, submission and servitude that are present in almost all of us that Jay Em captures so perfectly.

Take these two pictures. Though they are clearly modifications of the same original, they capture the many ages of femdom spanking perfectly. I see the first as a young bride or fiancee teaching her partner who's boss early on in the relationship (note the single bed - she is clearly a very traditional lady). The second picture could be the same couple 20 years later. The wife's bare breasts and stockings may have been replaced by a more motherly hairstyle and comfy dressing gown, but she is still clearly head of the household!

 

It's in the femdom arena that Jay Em really shines, but he also does a very nice line in glowing female bottoms:

 

Like many other great spanking artists, Jay Em is no longer producing as far as I can tell. The e-mail address that appears on some of his works no longer appears to be active, though I occasionally come across random pictures of his that I haven't seen before.
