Art: Santa's Little Helpers

"Santa's Little Helpers"

I wanted to share this artwork of mine with you all, as Christmas dawns around the world.

In this rather fantastical piece, I wanted to somehow capture a time when Christmas was - at least in my mind - a more 'magical' and mystical time of year... and also deal with the consequence of being a 'naughty boy' in such a world, where both a jolly, caring Santa and mischievious, spiteful magic elves are both a reality!

Here, our shocked young man has been outnumbered and overpowered, stripped nude, and is now being giving a very painful caning from a group of cute-but-cruel female elves. Note the one going over a 'list' in the background; is this young man on Santa's 'naughty list' and these elves have been dispatched to visit and punish him? Or perhaps these mean little helpers are just 'dealing' with a visitor (or intruder) to Santa's North Pole workshop? Also, is he just getting a double-caning as depicted here (ouchies!), or are all those spank-happy elf girls going to take a turn thrashing his poor sore bottom, one or two at a time?

Regardless of the scenario, I hope you all enjoy this picture, and that your own holiday season can be every bit as magical... and spanky!

A very Merry Christmas to all who celebrate it, and to all who have been so kind and accepting and welcoming since I made the big decision to come out of 'retirement' a few months ago and started this blog. I appreciate you all - your comments, suggestions, and friendships - so much.

I am enjoying being 'back' so much, and thank you all for your support!

   

Flashback: On The Naughty List

"On The Naughty List"

I did this one a long time ago, for a Christmas long past. Makes me feel rather nostalgic just looking at it again here!

This artwork came about from a fantasy I'm sure a lot of spankos have, and perhaps had when they were younger, too: a spanking for being on Santa's 'naughty list'. The idea that 'good boys and girls' got rewarded at Christmas while 'naughty boys and girls' got rubbish presents or - worse - some kind of punishment is of course something not often suggested or encouraged in today's politically correct world, but for myself growing up, the idea that come Christmas Eve, it wouldn't be a stocking full of presents awaiting me at midnight, but a red hot bottom as 'reward' for past naughtiness (the ultimate concept in 'postponed punishment'?) was a rather common thought around the end of December.

The idea of waiting nervously under the covers, unable to sleep as the clock ticked down, imagining a 'special visitor' was coming to pull me out of bed and spank me when midnight struck... surely I'm not the only one who thought about that?

Of course, me being me, a spanking from a fat old guy with a beard wasn't exactly something I liked to imagine, not even as a kid. No, in my mind, Santa would be too busy at Christmas delivering presents to the nice boys and girls, so either Mrs. Claus (an inexplicably hot 'MILF', at least in my daydreams), his strict-but-sexy daughter or attractive female 'helpers' (in my mind, like the kind of young ladies often seen in malls, dressed in cute 'Santa-ette' outfits and helping take photos of whining kids for tired parents) and would be the ones assigned the task of dealing with those on 'the naughty list'. Yes, I was a pervy F/m fan even back then!

Also, since I was (in all modesty) pretty much a 'good boy' as a child and teenager, the fantasy of being one of the 'naughty ones' seemed somehow all the more exciting. Perhaps Santa and his 'naughty list monitor' saw past what my parents counted as good behavior? With their Santa-powers, they likely knew even the small fibs, the secret naughtiness I got away with, and so on. There could be no escaping their exacting and strict standards come Christmas Eve!

While this artwork is not specifically intended as that personal long-ago fantasy (notably the spankee is at least too old to believe in Santa Claus!), it is certainly based on that concept. The single bed to me suggests this is not a married young man, but someone still living at home, who is being paid a visit this night by an unexpected mysterious woman dressed in a provocative manor, carrying a wooden paddle! Her outfit only causes further visible naughtiness once the young man is ordered (or forcibly) undressed, and that paddle is there for the express purpose of executing his long, over-the-knee, bare-bottom spanking sentence for a year's worth of disrespect, disobedience, bad language, irresponsible behavior, back-talk, lying and all manor of other things he thought he'd gotten away with!

On the other hand... there is a totally different, non-fantastical alternative for this picture: this is his girlfriend or wife, and they've been to (or are maybe even still at) a 'fancy dress' Christmas party. She's taken him upstairs for a paddling after an out-of-line remark or act. Or maybe, she's just a girl he met at the party, who's playfully led him upstairs to a spare bedroom at midnight since his familiar (though not entirely unwelcome) groping has earned him a spot on her personal 'naughty boy list'.

Art: Wishing He'd Stolen A Thicker Pair

"Wishing He'd Stolen A Thicker Pair"

A number of people have been posting interesting comments on my previous post "Just The Warm-Up" about the possibility of that 'aunty' catching a boy stealing her panties! Well, this new art piece is about exactly that.

It's hopefully pretty clear here what's happened: caught stealing panties = spanked in panties!

I imagined them as 'aunty' (yes, again!) and 'nephew', though they could also be 'mommy' and 'son'... or even a 'cougar' and her 'toyboy'?

Whoever they are, she's decidedly furious, and he's finding out how angry, much to his displeasure! I'm torn on how this situation began, exactly, though...

Perhaps she walked in on him wearing her lacy panties and spanked him on the spot. Since the setting is clearly 'her bedroom', I can imagine a case of her coming home early unexpectedly, and walking in to find him on her bed (too engrossed in his naughtiness to have heard the door, most likely), wearing her pretty pink panties and pleasuring himself shamefully! That would definitely make her angry, I think... no fibs or excuses are going to explain his being caught like that, eh? How embarrassing for him to be 'busted' like that!

Or perhaps she discovered a pair of her 'missing' panties in his room (under his pillow, bed or stuffed at the back of a drawer) while tidying, and is now confronting him over it? "If you want to take my panties... put them on! Yes, NOW young man! Since you like my panties so much, you can get spanked in them!" He might not even want to wear them; he just stole them to feel, smell or (naughty boy) masturbate with. In that case, it would be both humiliating and fitting justice if she forces him to wear them for his punishment spanking, don't you think?

And what a spanking! Because this artwork is depicting an actual 'offense', I wanted to make her anger clear, both on her face and on his bottom. Hence, the hairbrush... really really hard! Hard enough to leave blotchy bruises for days! Ouch! There's no 'playfulness' in this spanking; this is an angry and severe hairbrush blistering of the kind reserved for naughty little panty thieves!

Oh, and varnished hardwood versus delicate, whisper-thin lace? No contest, I'm afraid! Those skimpy panties aren't providing him with the least bit of protection from that brush (hence the somewhat unwieldy title). Though I suspect they both knew that would be the case from the start!

EDIT: Is it just me, or does it look to you (looking at this pic again) like she's actually paused in mid-spank here - hairbrush hovering - to ask him a question that she expects an answer to? If so, he'd better stop wailing and answer smartly, I think! Or maybe she's just paused for a moment to deliver another angry scolding tirade (no answer expected or acknowledged!) before that brush starts crashing down again?

100,000+ Hits!

"100,000 hits? That was just one hundred,
young man! Don't be such a big baby!"

Wow! I just noticed that this blog has passed the 100,000 hits mark! I don't know what that means in terms of other "big" blogs, but I'm thrilled and honored. Thanks to all who've visited and taken the time to leave a comment, vote in a poll or drop me an email. As I've said before, I read every single one of them!

I have noticed a bit of a drop-off in comments lately (not counting my few wonderful "regulars" - Colin, Smuccatelli, Emily, RobertC, Aunty Andrea, etc. - whom I can always count on to add fun and fascinating insights). I do hope folks aren't getting bored with my art, feeling let down by my absence in October, or were put off by my Halloween posts. I've genuinely missed some of the great people who commented a lot when the blog came online, and haven't done so on recent posts. Still, I know all too well what it's like to get overtaken by "real life", so hopefully it's just the Christmas season keeping us all extra busy!

I mainly bring this up, though, because I want to feature some of my favourite comments in a new "Quote of the Day" sidebar gadget, showcasing a few of the most amusing or interesting little snippets of what you - my awesome readers - have contributed here.

As much as I love to read the comments left, I know not everyone takes the time to dig through them, and there are some great gems of observations people have left that I feel adds to my art and stories - or just spanking concepts and conversation - tremendously (sometimes more than my own words and art!) and I'd like them to be seen more prominently. I'm assuming anyone who leaves a comment publicly (rather than emailing me) is happy for this, but do let me know if you've said something you'd rather I not call attention to!

So do please keep the comments coming, especially those of you who were here when the blog started but have since either drifted away or become 'lurkers' (something I'm guilty of on many a blog/site, I'll admit).

Maybe I should have a special "Love Our Lurkers" event in the new year, eh?

Art: Just The Warm-Up

"Just The Warm-Up"

Time for another OTK artwork, I think!

Hopefully the title and image make the basic scenario clear: our young man is getting a seriously stinging handspanking... but that's just the precursor to the sound hairbrushing he's going to get to follow!

I imagine the lady here as a rather glamorous 'aunty' (real or surrogate) type. She's a bit of a stunner, but strict and definitely no stranger to smacking bottoms! Her fiery red curls suggest to me a bit of a temper, perhaps? I do like how her rather racy, cleavage-enhancing lingerie turned out, too!

Him? Maybe he's staying with her for the weekend/week/holidays? Maybe she's his new legal guardian? However, this could also work perhaps as a 'mommy spanking' too, if you prefer.

Either way, the spanking is clearly taking place in her bedroom (a very lush, very purple room!). The blind being down - and her state of (un)dress suggest that this is maybe a bedtime spanking, though I'm sure there are other reasons for both these things if not!

I tried to make his body language rather childish here; this is a humbling, 'little boy' spanking even though he's a 'big boy' now. The awful sting and burn has forced him to cross his ankles and grip the pillow tightly, and his face is running with tears (note my attempt to make the pillow fairly soaked with them already!). This isn't so much a 'kick and squirm' spanking as a 'hold on tight and just cry' one.

However, once his 'warm up' handspanking is over and the hairbrush is introduced to his already very sore bottom, I suspect the kicking and squirming may begin in earnest, don't you?

As to why he's even getting spanked at all... well, does an authoritative aunty really need a reason? Still, perhaps this is his arrival at her home - his first night in a strange new house - and aunty couldn't resist giving him a nice 'welcome spanking' before bed, to set the tone of his entire stay? Or maybe he actually broke one of her rules for the first time today (either willfully or unknowingly, and anything from forgetting to mow the lawn to being caught masturbating!) and is now being shown just what happens to naughty boys in this house!

Is this his first ever spanking, or just one of many he's already experienced under her roof? Will this be his first hairbrushing, or does he know all too well what he's in for... aunty's palm may burn and bring tears to his eyes, but that hard wooden hairbrush is going to really open up his lungs and make sleeping on his tummy a necessity tonight!

Finally, when it's all over, will she just order him to his own bedroom? Will she put him in the corner for a while before bed? Or maybe she'll give him a nice cuddle on her lap while he sobs against her bosom? Or perhaps, just perhaps, she'll let him share her own bed tonight, for taking his spanking like a brave boy?

How do you see this spanking scenario playing out?

Art: Knowing He's Next

"Knowing He's Next"

To me, one of the most exciting and terrifying part of spanking is "the wait": knowing with utter certainty that you are going to be spanked, and that it's only a matter of time before your hot-bottomed doom occurs!

It could be standing in a corner, pants down with the cool air reminding you how bare and exposed you are, waiting for those footsteps and the voice that announces "turn around and come out of that corner!". It could be after having been sent to your room, sitting on your bed with your pulse racing, eyes glued to the door handle as you wait for it to turn and open, decreeing at last that "it's time". It could be sitting outside the head mistress' office with other doomed miscreants, listening to the crack of a cane or paddle and howls for mercy from behind the door, as the queue thins out until it's your turn at last!

Taking that concept one step further is the idea of actually being right there in the same room as a spanking-in-progress, and knowing you're next for exactly the same! Having to watch and listen as your fellow spankee is smacked to a tearful mess, with full knowledge that "that will be you" any minute... well, that's just scary! Especially since you're getting to see just how hard your soon-to-be-spanker can hit, how strong her arm is, and how merciless she is no doubt going to be with you!

With this artwork, I wanted to capture that "oh god, I'm going to get that too!" vibe for a spankee in such a position. Here, our naughty boys have no doubt be ordered to strip naked and lay face down on their beds, a pillow under their hips to raise their bottoms up to present a more inviting target. Whether they've been waiting in that position for their punishment for a few minutes or several hours, I'm not sure (what do you think?).

Was their wait in tearful misery, both openly acknowledging that they were really "for it" now? Or perhaps they were both angry and sulky, making a "manly" pact between them to "not cry" and maybe even "don't show those girls that it hurts"? If the latter was the case, it's clear now that the one currently under the belt isn't honoring that pact at all, and that the young man in the foreground already knows he won't be able to either!

Indeed, while it's quite expected and natural for the young man being leathered by an angry young woman's belt to be howling and sobbing his lungs out, the boy in the foreground is already crying (tears of fear and anticipation, it seems?) too. Scrunching a pillow over his head and screwing his eyes shut tight, he tries to block out the sounds of his fellow (friend? cousin? brother?) spankee's childish screams and frantic pleas for mercy, but those braying wails and loud cracking of the belt - sounds that fills that small upstairs bedroom - are far too loud to muffle. Besides, nothing can distract his thoughts from the inevitability of his belt-spanking... he's next, he knows it, and it's really going to hurt!

Which raises an interesting question, I think: when you and another person are going to be spanked, who is (comparatively) better off? The one being spanked first, or the one being spanked last? Thoughts?

I'm not sure, incidentally, what the actual reason/scenario for this clearly severe belt-thrashing is, here. I am tempted to say the two girls are sisters, with tough 'big sis' dishing out a leathering for teasing/annoying/displeasing 'little sis'. The younger girl certainly seems quite smugly amused by the two boys' predicament here. Perhaps they 'earned' this strapping for something they did or said to her? Or perhaps she just made something up and told 'big sis', knowing she'd believe her over them? Is this a 'family' (brothers and sisters)? Perhaps one of the boys is a hapless friend, just there for a sleepover? Perhaps the strapper is actually the babysitter for all three of the others? All those ideas work for me... but what do you think?

2011 Birthday Competition Runners-Up

I really enjoyed all the entries I received for my 'Banjo's 2011 Birthday Spanking Competion'. While there weren't a lot of entries, those I got were all very creative and lots of fun! With their creators' kind permission, I've posted some of my favourites below:

Birthday 2011: And the Winner Is...

"Time for cake and birthday spankies, sweetie!"

Congratulations to Emily, winner of my 'Banjo's 2011 Birthday Spanking' competition!

A big thank-you to all who took the time to send in an entry; I appreciated and enjoyed every single one.

With Emily's permission, I have posted her entry below. As I said, I enjoyed every contribution I was sent, however Emily's "extra mile" of effort and evil creativity is what made her the winner.

As for her requested prize (a custom artwork by me)? Well, I received an additional 'gift' from Emily the other day on notifying her of her win... an unexpected (but admittedly well-deserved) ear-burning scolding and telling-off for being so lapse in my blog updates of late!

Thus, she has told me that her prize should be an artwork made to her specifications... depicting me receiving a severe punishment spanking from her! Gulp!!! She made it clear that this was not to be a "sexy" spanking... no, this was a punishment for my procrastination and laziness!

Emily also wanted to make it clear that this 'virtual' spanking was for letting you all down and not posting more often. She's right, of course. While I genuinely appreciate all my fans and friends here who post comments, send emails, and support what I do, I don't always show that appreciation by keeping in touch or posting updates. For that, I'm sorry.

Though if Emily had her way, I'd be much more sorry, it seems!
