The beauty of dominant women
This artwork is by the Italian artist Guido Crepax. Based on this tweet it’s circa 1980. Searching through past posts, I’m kind of surprised to discover I’ve not featured his art before. He was a significant creator of erotic art through the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s, with the character Valentina being his most famous creation. While he wasn’t a femdom illustrator, kink is a common theme in his work. The Lambiek Comiclopedia has a good article on him if you’re interested to learn more.
If you celebrate Christmas then I hope you’re having (or had) a good one and Santa brought you something you wanted. If you don’t, then I hope all the festive nonsense going on (including this post) hasn’t been too annoying. Personally I shall be enjoying some quiet time cooking and reading with very limited social interaction.
The festive drawing below is by the most excellent femdom and fetish artist Ald. You can purchase art from them via their Etsy site. They also take commissions.
I’m not sure this image really counts as Femdom, but it made me smile so it gets to be featured. It’s by the New Yorker cartoonist Will McPhail. You can see another of his cartoons – this time aligned more closely with my usual kinky content – located here.
You can find Will’s Twitter feed here and his store to buy prints here.
Hanging out with friends in Vegas hasn’t left a lot of blogging time. Plus, with age comes much longer recovery times from any late nights. I now need a good few hours the following day in a quiet darkened room to get over the after effects.
I haven’t yet tried adding bondage to my recovery period, but maybe that might help? It can be comforting. Plus, endorphins are good for hangovers. Although maybe not anything as stringent as that on this young man.
Artwork is from Tip of the Moon who I first featured here back in August.
I sourced this via this tweet. You can see more from Tip of the Moon on Twitter, on Deviant Art and on SubscribeStar.
Crypto and findomme are two things I understand the appeal of while, at the same time, they do nothing for me personally. Money is thankfully not connected to my libido, which gets me out of the complexities of findomme. Crypto is trickier, as I do like the idea of a decentralized online currency. Visa and Mastercard should absolutely not be the de facto censors of the internet. Sadly, the current implementations of crypto seem problematic and the culture around it rife with weird politics and scams.
However, if you’re a fan of either or both of these areas, then I’ll point you at this interview with Allie Eve Knox on the decrypt site. She’s a findomme and crypto user and does a nice job of covering all the horribly messed up banking issues that sexworkers can face. I’m not sure I’ll personally be signing up for SpankChain anytime soon, but I love the idea of sex workers innovating in this space. You can read more from Allie on Twitter.
I’m kicking off a new week with some vintage art, sourced via the Madam Is All tumblr. There’s no signature anywhere, but I’d guess it’s by the artist Paul Klamm aka C Soulier. That would date it to the 1920’s or 30’s. You can see more from the same artist on the Smiles and Spanks site as well as the Spanking Artwork site.
One final post on the recent Femdom Ball in London. Although I loved a lot of the photographs posted (see previous post) my favorite tweet wasn’t an image. It was a quote posted by the event organizer, the Nubian Matriarch.
I had a fun conversation with one of the security guards near the bar before leaving… I asked him if he’d had a good night. And he said “so let me ask you bruv, are the women paying the guys to be on the leashes…”
Ah, my sweet summer child. That’s sadly not the way it works bruv.
I’ll finish with this image from Sardax that features some appropriate leashing. I believe this was donated by Sardax as one of the prizes at the ball (source here).
Today’s post manages to pack in predicament bondage, objectification and forniphilia, courtesy of this artwork by Loviante. His work is a study in contrasts, often combing some of the most extreme scenarios with delicate, beautiful composed dommes. Beauty and the BDSM beast.
You can find more from Loviante on their Twitter feed and at Deviant Art.
This artwork by Liliana reminds me of playing with pro-dommes in hotel rooms. It’s something about the decor and the scatter of toys around the couch. The use of this more conventional setting also makes the picture sexier by making the play and moment more relatable.
While I’d generally prefer to play in a well equipped dungeon, there’s something fun and decadent about getting extra freaky in a hotel room. Some dommes can be particularly good at creating a little kinky bubble in a regular space like the one below.
I sourced this from Liliana’s Twitter feed.
This is by the Spanish artist Javier Mayoral aka PulpBrother. It’s popped up in an unattributed and edited form on my femdom feeds recently, probably because of the perfect Twitter trifecta of sex, humor and cats. Reverse image searching gave me an attribution and some background details found here and here.
You can purchase his work at this site. It’s not all kink and femdom related, but a good number of his paintings certainly lean in that direction.
