New Spanking by Tom of Finland + new discoveries

Tom of Finland - Spanking

 I thought I'd seen all the Tom of Finland images I was ever likely to see until this amazing spanking image turned up recently on Strictop's GaySpankArt site at BSkySocial. It's in Tom's early '60's style which produced many of the great classics. The fashion detailing of the protagonist's clothing, socks, shoes and jumper suggests to me that it's quite early. If so, it's surprisingly explicit, sneakily so.

Some more rare gems from Strictop's collection.....

Steve Masters - Circus discipline

 This image by the highly original Steve Masters is the soul of discretion by comparison. You have to look closely just to see that it is spanking-related. Some scamp caught trying to sneak into the circus tent faces retribution. Is it a thrashing, or is the circus performer removing his belt with something different in mind, inspired by the juicy offering before him? 

Master's unique style featuring skin tight clothing has you guessing whether these men are clothed or not, opening up the more racy interpretation. Are those tattoos or fancy performance clothes the belt man is wearing? The detailing of the intruder's jeans is so faint that at first you don't see it. 

On closer inspection, fashion detail to match Tom's can be seen - the deep turn-ups of the jeans and black basketball shoes are so 50s yoof culture. Similar shoes turned up not long ago in a 1958 Royale Studio photo set of Ian Oliver.

 


This image by Matt is another rarity, preserved and rebranded by the notorious 'Nick Shadow'. A customer who complained gets short shrift from the Chef! Chef spanking crops up fairly regularly in the new wave of AI spanking imagery, but I confess that I don't really get it. I suppose the ubiquity of the wooden spoon, sometimes used for domestic paddling, makes the connection. The authority (and temperaments) of Chefs in professional kitchens is more widely understood these days thanks to TV, but the scenario doesn't really work for me. What I do like here is the maturity of the recipient and the hairiness of the spanker, whose hand lingers on his butt suggestively.



 This image by RASchultz is another period piece with a puzzling scenario that was probably inspired by the story he was illustrating. Executioner's masks had a bit of a vogue in the Drummer 80's and so did Chippendale bow ties on strippers, but it's hard to deduce what the connection might be in this picture. Fortunately, the sense of domination and beautiful, kneeling bondage in the imagery is so powerful that you don't really need to.

 


This image by Copper was a revelation to me. He is a prolific producer of comics which use humour to defuse their subject. I have seen his pointillist style before too, but the dark drama of this offering is on a different level. The hand under the chin makes an unusual physical connection and subtly reinforces the Master's control. Not sure about the moon, though! Artistic licence?

 


The great, British artist, Bill Ward, drew such uncompromisingly masculine figures that he even gets away with a walrus moustache here. Ripped pants, jock strap and a face down in a crotch make up an irresistible image of assertiveness and submission.
 
 

A final, eye-pleasing, modern AI offering from otklad, with a Senior Scout learning that you're never too old to learn about authority and discipline and that different rules are necessary when you're a long way from urban civilisation.

I'm indebted to Strictop for collecting these images, 
he also has a collection of spanking images on 'X' and a link to his spankart gallery.
