Spanking Artist: RedRump How long have you been drawing spanking art? As long as I can remember. As a kid, I would hide them deep in the pile of unrelated drawings I kept in an old shirt box, so my parents would not stumble on them. They were pretty poor drawings, often based on women I'd see on tv, or teachers I had. I remember Miss Newland in 5th grade used to threaten to spank misbehavers, though she never did - except in my imagination and my sketches, of course.Where can your spanking art be seen? Exclusively on my blog, Red Rump Spanking Art.What inspires you to draw?  At the risk of pseudo-intellectualizing, I think art offers a glimpse into the human psyche that photos rarely capture. It's iconic imagery that, when motivated by sincerity, reveals something of the artist's emotions and desires in a way that can spark an immediate response of connection in a viewer. Through any piece of art, artist and viewer meet and hopefully smile in recognition of a kindred soul.Where do you get your ideas from? My own imagination, mostly. There has to be something about the image that captures my interest - a particular, signature moment or a nuance of emotion in one of the subjects, or even a sense of humor. It's remarkable the range of possibilities available with spanking as the core subject. The scenario can be sensual and erotic, or daunting, or quirky, or harsh, or lighthearted and tongue-in-cheek. I want to explore the multiplicity of emotional tones the subject has to offer. Are there other artists that interest or inspire you? God, yes! Too many to mention by name. but I am very drawn to the work of the great American illustrators (Rockwell and Leyendecker, the two most prominent of them, each did the odd spanking painting for national household magazines!), and all the great advertising art from the 50's and 60's that depicted female archetypes of the era so beautifully.  Do you have a particular technique or way that you go about drawing? Nothing very fancy or sophisticated. I usually just sketch loosely on bond paper (my scanner only takes letter size paper), and then run the scan through photoshop to clean it up a bit, or add color if the drawing grabs my interest. However, there are certain compositional principles I try to adhere to in seeking a sense of liveliness and visual impact. I find that if a drawing turns out flat and lifeless, it's usually because I ignored those technical rules.Do you prefer to draw in colour or black & white/greyscale? Color is wonderful, but consumes a lot of time - a commodity I am in short supply of. I usually have a couple of color pieces on the go, which I slowly pick away at while I try to chug out a black and white drawing or two for my blog, but even those take me awhile. Is there a target audience that you specifically aim at? Not really - to be sincere in my work, I have to please myself first. Those who are of similar mind will respond. I see no purpose in trying to reach out to an audience I have no kinship with. I think it would be impossible to try to appeal to a wide base of spanking art fans, in any case. Many spanking enthusiasts have very specific tastes, right down to particular pieces of clothing the spanker might wear, or a pose which might make or break a picture for them. It's a visceral, gut reaction that either works or doesn't work.  Does your artwork represent your own spanking preferences? Always. I love the whole retro theme, 'retro' in my case meaning the era from roughly the late 40's through to the mid 60's. Even though I was not around in the 50's, I saw a lot of that era through reruns, and garnered an appreciation for the feminine styles of the period, an attraction which seems to be fairly common in the spankoverse. It's not surprising, really - there was an elegance to the look of women's fashions, hairstyles, etc. that was lost once the mod, hippie era appeared on the scene. Do you produce artwork which is not related to spanking as well? Absolutely. I usually go on binges where I will do only one thing for a while, and then get tired of it, and focus on something entirely different. Right now, spanking is on the mind. A few months from now? - who knows - but I suspect I will never stop doing spanking art entirely. I've never tossed it aside yet, anyway...Do you draw just for personal pleasure or for profit? It's just one of several hobbies, really. Have you considered using your artwork in spanking publications/books?Do you have any plans for future artwork? You'll likely see more and more of the retro thing on my blog. I'd like to do more color, if I can find a way of speeding up the process. I just finished a color portrait for the lovely Dana Kane, which will appear on the blog in November, but it took me a month to do. 14 comments:

Thank you - most informative. Your drawings are very evocative and satisfyingly naturalistic (which, for me, spanking art needs to be). 2 November 2011 22:33

I never tire of studyiing retro art. I think of my parents who were very young and how different those times were. Life was innocent, music had soul, Rio was hot and the whole world was changing. Your art has style, conveys subtle messages of the time, the length of the skirt, facial expression, paddle. brush, hand, belt. If I could chose a time to live it would be between the Great War and WW II. 3 February 2012 01:06

This guy is simply a sensational F/M spanking artist, IMHO it's amazing how alluring his black-and-white drawings are. The 'retro' theme is very appealing to me, because it suggests that behind the surface of the male dominant/female submissive social order in the post-World War II, early Cold War era, there were quite a few strong, determined women soundly spanking their male counterparts. RedRump's college coeds seem to simply enjoy paddling their bare-assed masculine victims, often while semi-nude themselves, I love the broad smiles on their faces while they're plying their sorority paddles. OTOH, his thirtyish housewives look strict and resolute while employing their hairbrushes to keep their immature husbands (and possibly also their disobedient sons) 'toeing the line' via 'paying the piper' for their regular misconduct. The 'panty raid misfire' drawing that RedRump recently posted on his website--well, that college boy is really in for it, although at least he has been given a pair of panties to appreciate 'up close and personal' while the pretty sorority girls enthusiatically work over his other end... --C.K. 3 February 2012 16:44

Fabulous F/M drawings especially the expressions of both spanker and spankee, and the use of the hairbrush my favourite, may he long continue. 5 June 2012 20:46

I LOVE his retro theme art work. I've always had a thing about the "Donna Reed" look. 1950's mom, with the just below the knee dress, determined look in her eye and holding the ULTIMATE mom tool, the dreaded hairbrush. Keep drawing my man! 29 December 2012 20:26

I've been a fan ever since I found his site, and love the retro themes a well. It all reminds me of the era in which I grew up. I agree with the others, keep drawing, RedRump. 14 January 2013 19:26

To be honest, the women depicted in your art actually frighten me! Which, to my mind, is a high compliment -- your work is great. 3 November 2014 21:05

I have enjoyed RR's art for a long time now... It is absolutely first rate. It is great to find out a bit more about the artist himself. And while I love the F/m focus, I would love to see him do some F/f art as well. After all, some of us female fans are rather fond of sub girls as well... Thank you so much for RR and his art... 16 February 2017 00:06
