There is a new enticing illustrator on the spankosexual scene with a nifty, shiny new spankblog, that is certainly worth keeping an eye on and adding to your ever-growing blogroll: Mr. Pat Hall has some delightful drawings on his new blog: Drawing Her OTK.
The other cherry-red bottom focused artists who are currently active in the scene that really intrigue the editorial staff at The Cherry Red Report are just a handful: the whimsical, fun artistry of Endart and the often retro-themed art from The Spirit.
There is also the highly skilled Patty, who draws in a classic, romantic style. Lest I forget, there is of course Brian Tarsis who has done tremendous work for Shadow Lane.
(Several amazing artists have unfortunately dissapeared from the scene: an artist named “Eve” and the more widely-known “Sassy Bottoms.”)
What has inspired and motivated you to get into drawing spanking imagery?
Who are your biggest influences, artistically-speaking?
Where do you get your ideas for these ‘naughty’ illustrations?
I’m a born spanko, as they say — one of those guys that has spanked (at least playfully) just about every female friend he had for as long as he could remember. As such, I’m always entertained by the various dynamics of a spanking situation. The feeling of viewing or spanking, or that moment when the spankee is over the knee and waiting for it, but the spanking hasn’t begun..etc. The stages before and after a spanking are filled with various emotions and dynamics. Trying to capture and communicate one of those feelings is always the inspiration for a drawing.
The major spanking artists that come to mind are Endart and The Spirit. Do you like those two? Any others working today, or older artists, that you really admire?
I actually don’t know that much about spanking art, and artists. I’ve seen many nice pieces, but often they are uncredited or colored over by someone else. So if I get some names wrong, I totally apologize. Paula Meadows and Barb (I think O’Toole) have done some impressivestuff. Funbun is really inspiring because of his energy and prolificness. I like the celebrity flair that Endart will use, but I haven’t seen a lot of Spirit’s stuff. They might kick me out of the
spanking art guild if I didn’t mention Serpieri and Milo Manara.
Do you also enjoy vintage illustrations, vintage comix and such?
That’s probably my favorite stuff, actually. Vintage work just seems so perfect. Perhaps because old movies, photos, comics and postcards are the genesis of spanko awareness for a lot of people. I think the inversion of the vintage icons also has something to do with it. The longer and more prudish the skirt is, the more we can appreciate a peek under it.
Thanks for taking the time with me, Dave. For those that really enjoy the art, I’m glad I can bring that to you and contribute in my own way.
Thanks a lot Dave, for sharing it with us, I’ve just check the blog… and it’s incredible!!!! We don’t have thins like that in spanish
Another fascinating interview. It’s great to have a new artist on the scene, especially a ‘blogging’ one. I’ll be updating my blogroll as soon as I can take my eyes of his pictures.
She’s superbe!! Thanks a lot Dave for this excelent post.
Wonderful pictures and magnificient blog Dave. Hopefully not too far we´ll have another artist like Pat in Spain or in Latin America.
As always your posts are setting the proper mood to get libidinous.
Thank you very much
Dear Dave,
A brilliant artist, indeed!
A good drawing or painting is even better than a good photograph, at least when it comes to fantasy themes.
And you are very good at finding material for your blog. I am impressed. Keep up the good work!!
