The beauty of dominant women
Here’s some cute artwork to head into the weekend with. This is by the artist Slippy Stuff and was created for Mistress Spar Dame. Dungeons are full of fearsome leather clad furniture, but sadly lacking in comfy armchairs. That’s a shame, as they’re notorious torture devices dating back to the days of the Spanish Inquisition.
This kind of femdom artwork always makes me smile. It’s cute and all, but do women really want their work colleagues inhaling their shoe aroma? Is that a good way to fill a meeting gap while your trying to find the right PowerPoint presentation?
Obviously it’s just fantasy and the artwork is lovely. But skewing to a specific male desire so obviously does throw it off a little. Subservience, politeness and efficiently delivered morning coffee seem like things a woman in an office might require. Shoe sniffing maybe not so much.
I’m afraid I don’t have a source for this. Despite my curmudgeonly take, I do like it, so if you have a pointer to its source then let me know via a comment and I’ll update the post.
Continuing the vintage artwork theme here, but moving from dogs to ponies. This is by the German artist Richard Hegemann. According to this honesterotica article he was active in Berlin in the 1920’s through to the 40’s as a painter, sculpture and professor of art. From what I can find online, he created his kinky illustrations for himself and friends. I can’t imagine the authorities in 1930’s Germany would have been particularly accepting of this kind of art.
We’re going back just over a century for today’s artwork. This is a book cover from 1906, illustrated by Raphael Kirchner. I couldn’t find much out about the book, other than what Mistress Ezada Sinn had to say in a blog post back in 2015. Apparently it was written by Pierre Dumarchey and republished under the title ‘La Comtesse au Fouet‘ with far less interesting cover art.
I love the character expressions here. With his mustache and hangdog expression he looks particularly dog like. She’s carrying a whip, but a rolled up newspaper might be more appropriate.
Something cute and fun to start the week. This is by a new (to this blog) artist – Madeverette.
I love cooking, but hate doing the washing up, so would definitely appreciate a good encouraging pat on the head now and again.
You can find more from Madeverette via their Patreon, Pixiv and various other sites.
Continuing the puppy roleplay them from the last post, but with a bit of a twist. It’s a two for one roleplay deal!
This is from the always entertaining Twonks series, created by Steve Nelson. You can find his Merch here.
Here’s one of the better examples of AI art I’ve seen recently. I actually didn’t think it was AI until I traced it back to the original source – this post by Dora TV.
The common problems of AI generated scenes – wonky backgrounds and oddly shaped fingers/toes – don’t appear to be present. It’s very coherent. The only thing that’s off is her handbag strap, which seems to vanish under her arm. The low part of the left lamppost also looks a bit odd, although that’s minor. Impressive stuff.
If you ever needed a guide on how not do do a professional BDSM session, this story out of San Diego might be a pretty good template. It features a man who paid an Only Fans model $11K for a BDSM session featuring mummification and breathplay. He was intoxicated, she had zero experience with BDSM, they engaged in very risky kinks and he suffocated to death while she filmed content for her site. There’s not a single good decision made at any point by anyone involved.
What really amazes me about this – besides paying $11K to someone who has no idea what she’s doing – is that the guy had roommates who were at home. I can’t imagine the thought process involved in attempting that kind of crazy scene with a stranger while roommates you barely know are wandering around the house. I guess he was horny and she was greedy. A lethal combination in the circumstances.
If you’re going to listen to your little head and hire people on the basis of hotness rather than experience, at least stick to safe basic scenes. For exampe, I’ve never heard of anyone dying of a foot fetish.
This sexy artwork is by Ald. You can find their Etsy store here.
The Scottish painter Jack Vettriano has passed away at the age of 73. He was a mainstream artist, not explicitly a femdom or fetish one, but kink was clearly an undercurrent in a good amount of his work. I featured two of his paintings in past posts – here and here.
While he had a lot of commercial success he was despised by the critics and art world. This article on him was one of the more positive ones I’ve seen, and even here the writer can’t resist finishing with how he finds his paintings ‘heinous and grim’. It’s a somewhat incoherent article, but I think there’s one thing it gets right…
The main issue for snobby art types like me isn’t the work itself. It’s that he lacked a conceptual edge, a sense of irony and any postmodern self-awareness. He didn’t paint sexy midnight trysts between half-clothed women and Brylcreemed men as a comment on gendered power dynamics or as a riff on art historical depictions of the female nude. He painted them because they were sexy.
There’s something to be said for that. One can enjoy a simpler message without it detracting from other more complex works. Unabashed sexuality and hedonism for the joy of it makes people uncomfortable. Undercutting it – as this writer does by likening it to a greasy double cheeseburger – relieves that discomfort.
They’re not paintings I’d choose to hang on my walls or spend thousands of dollars on. But one can still choose to appreciate them and their openly kinky themes.
This is by Jack Vettriano and entitled ‘Wicked Games’
The day will come when I don’t have some cute artwork from a new (to the blog) artist for the weekend. But that day is not this day. The new artist in question here is mge2x5 aka Geraldine. And the scene is undoubtedly cute.
You can find more from the artist at their Bluesky account which has a linktree.
