Just wanted to let you know that The Artist Known as The Spirit has a new website The Spirits Studio that is an archive of his fantastic and sensual spanking and erotic art.

The site also features The Spirit’s intriguing commentary on each piece.

To the left I included one of my favorites: “A Pout Sprout Out” (1997) and below right another stand-out and so VERY appropriate for this time of the year: “The Designated Driver.” (1998) Click On Images to Enlarge.

In addition, this site will feature a permanent gallery as well as a rotating gallery of his artwork.

Do check his enticing anthology “Spank Me: The Art of the Spirit” published in 2004 — a must-have art book for any spankosexual [available via Amazon.com]. I certainly hope a follow-up is in the works.

[Editorial Note: The Cherry Red Report featured an exclusive interview with The Spirit in May 2007 which you can read HERE.]

Below is a truly unique, provocative piece from his permanent gallery, entitled “How The War Was Won.” [Click On Image To Enlarge.]

The Spirit’s thoughtful commentary on this illustration is below. As always, reader feedback/comments are always welcome and appreciated.

The Spirit: “I find this double-barreled image to be an important piece in my evolution as an artist. In an editorial context there is a clear political and patriotic symbolized meaning to this image.

“At the time I was creating this, the world was in its second year of its war on terror, and I was hoping for a swift and decisive conclusion to it, as there had been in WWII.

“Well, that was not meant to be, but at least we can smile when viewing this art work, as it reminds us of previous victories from yesteryear, and my incorporation of sensual fetishism and humor into the mix (which is not entirely unusual for me to do).

“In so much as the development of my art is concerned, this piece really clarified much as my style of art is further refined combining and supporting both painted and inked line elements within one harmonious image. Yes this image is humorous, but is it comical? And if it is comical, does that make it a cartoon? I certainly hope not. I guess I am pre-occupied with these worries.”

New art entitled “Late Home” by the ever intriguing artist “Klauth,” whose enticing art has been blogged about on these pages before HERE. Though I was not quite sure what was happening in this drawing, so I asked the artist himself who told The Cherry Red Report:

“As always I’m happy that you like my work! Here the girl is supposed to be spanked for the first time, and her first reaction, as soon as she can escape from her Mom, is to run in the garden and climb on a tree.

“I take many of my ideas from TV spots. There’s a Levi’s commercial, with a girl who is escaping from a dog trying to recover his owner’s pants. She climbs on a tree, but the dog bites her jeans, and her only way to escape is to take off her pants, remaining on the tree in her panties. I just love the pin-up style.”

There are several interesting elements on display in this piece, besides Megan’s rump-roasted, thong-clad backside. The completely appropriate full-moon. Her angry Mom and well-spanked naughty daughter. The curious face in the window. The snail in the tree(?). Her torn blue skirt. Any thoughts?

It’s time once again to blog on one of my fav topics: spanking art. Above is a wonderful, evocative, retro-fueled piece from 1998, entitled “Today’s Special at The Malt Shop,” by The Artist Known as The Spirit, a masterful artist, as recently posted on his archives section of his online gallery. Today’s special at this malt shop is apparently rump roast. Well-done.

[On a side note, a splendid resource for modern and vintage spank art is the most comprehensive collection available on the Web at Veralsi's Spanking Showcase.]

Here is the intriguing backstory on this artwork from The Spirit’s website:

This is the third of three 1950’s period pieces as modeled by, Alissa. I can picture life in the 1950s as an era when anyone-could-spank-anyone at any given moment in time.

Today’s “Special At The Malt Shop” is a colorful depiction of just that, an embarrassing incident which involved the mischievous student of this series, and a waitress (with little patience that day) at the local malt shop one seemingly ordinary afternoon.

After class, the Senior student and her friend met at the malt shop as they do routinely to gossip about boys and laugh about pranks they’ve been involved with. She weaved around the shop with her strawberry milkshake grasped in her hand, and was blindly distracted as she peered out the window at her classmates walking by.

The waitress, who was having a particularly long day, had repeatedly warned the energetic lass not to run around with the thick and creamy milkshake as it could spill on the floor (which the waitress had already cleaned several times already).

This warning was soon forgotten when she spotted a dreamy guy from school walking past the window. She jumped up quickly and raced to the door in a careless dash, but slipped on the freshly cleaned floor and tumbled down and forward. Her milkshake slipped from her hand and spilled out completely on the floor leaving a terrible mess.

The waitress strolled over and helped the dazed teen to her feet with a quick and sudden yank. The Malt Shop had a huge and delicious selection on their menu, and their ‘specials’ were famous all over town.

It was that afternoon that the waitress served up a heaping portion of ‘Today’s Special’ to the careless student. It was served over her lap and delivered briskly with her thick wooden hairbrush.

Perv on over to The Spirit’s website.

How many times must I tell you NOT to touch my super-power utility belt? Since you seem to like my belt so much, here’s a taste of it….**POW!**

I saw this pulse-quickening, belt-wielding Batman artwork a few days ago on Chross’ Blog, and thought it was a delicious illo in the ever popular superhero ass-tanning genre of spank-art.

[Caption by yours truly--Feel free to suggest your own spanktastic caption in the comment box.]

Catwoman is looking especially tantalizing here, with her leather or latex-clad bodacious posterior arched, squirming, anticipating purrfectly. Meow.

The artist is the talented Italian illustrator Raf Marinetti.

For a collection of over 40,000 spanking illustrations in their member’s archives, perv on over to the Veralsis spanking mega-site.

Kinda random bloggage, but found this luscious anime/manga-style illo floating about the Spankernets.  First thought it was a new Kami Tora, but alas, nope.  If anyone knows the artist and/or where this is from, please enlighten us. Thx!

[GOT TROUBLE?: In other news, talented author Loki Renard recently launched the aptly named Trouble Books, with an assortment of pulse-pounding, flaming fiction, including a nifty interactive "Choose Your Own (Spanking) Adventure."  Perv over to the free samples and show Loki some love.]

[GEORGIA, OH GEORGIA: ShadowLane recently uploaded today one of my all-time favest classic vids to CherryRedMovies.  Featuring the truly exquisite  nylon panty-clad squirming schoolgirl Georgia Gold, and also a divine Chelsea Pfeiffer, "Double Feature #1" is a VHS cassette tape(!) I remember ordering in my formative college years and was mesmerized.

Also check out other classic ShadowLane vids including the drippingly hot Tattletail and another fav: Bad Girls Get Spanked, both of which, fortunately feature lots of snug white bikini panties....yum yum.]

***Newly updated: Find out what’s playing now at CherryRedMovies: Easy, fun, discreet!***

Launched in August of 2009, Poser CP Art is a new spanking art venture offering heaps of custom-crafted, computer-generated spanko art, with luscious details and cherry redness galore.

While I’m not sure if I’m yet a true believer in computer-generated artwork, I do find the website intriguing, and at first glance, many renderings look like photographs, with exquisite detailing.

From Victorian caning scenes to punishment in prisons, this computer wizard can almost magically make your most wildest spanking scenarios and discipline fantasies pop off the page, as he graphically converts pixels into eye-popping illos of perversity.

CRR chatted via email with this artist simply known as The Poser Artist, to get the scoop. [As always, reader comments are most welcome and always appreciated.]

Thank you for taking the time to chat with CRR. It’s interesting noting that there are scores of mainstream adult sites that offer computer-generated x-rated graphics and rendered artwork–how many spanking sites do you think are out there that are focused on this style of art?

While there is a fair amount of computer generated art out there (Maya, 3DSMax, with Poser considered at the “low” end), there’s next to nothing similar to the themes presented at Poser CP Art. That’s a large part of why I created the site.  For my own tastes, it’s (to use a cliche): neither too heavy nor too light.

How exactly do you create these images? I just do not understand how rendering software works whatsoever.

I use Poser 8 computer software.

Do you need a super speedy processor in your computer to use this kind of software?

It’s not necessary, but it helps.  Slower processors can crank out the renders, but it takes longer (I’ve waited 10 or 15 minutes for one to complete, only to chuck it because the eyes weren’t in the right position or I didn’t like the shadowing).

Computer-generated art is such a new concept to my pervy brain–do you consider these renders on the same level, artistically and creatively speaking, as those produced by someone using just, say, a pen and paper?

Theoretically I suppose that one has much more control with pen and paper – but they also need a whole lot more skill to create art at the same level.  From what I’ve seen, only a few pen and paper artists have the creativity and skill and tastes for my own preferences.  Patty, the Spirit, a few others and above all Stanton are among the best.

Are you tweaking pre-existing photos at times, or are most of your renders on your website totally original?

Original.

How long does it take to complete an image, from start to finish, from concept to final product?

About one to three hours for an initial setting, half an hour to an hour for follow on renders using the same scene.

Who are some of your favorite artists, within the spanking realm?

Patty, EndArt, a few others and above all Stanton are among the best (for my tastes at least).

Do you enjoy creating M/f as much as F/m or ? i.e. Do you have a fav?

Depends on my mood.  Nope.

What it it like creating illos that fulfill requested fantasies for your site visitors?

I’m happy to report that there are a lot of people out there just like me.  The word “empathy” comes to mind.  Often I know exactly what they’re looking for (and have trouble finding).

Any future plans for your site and cp art?

I have lots of ideas, but the biggest is that I’m using the site to come up to speed on web technology.  I’m considering offering web services to others who might have their own ideas, but not know how to setup and maintain a website.

When you are not creating pervy imagery, what are some of your non-fetish, mainstream hobbies and passions?

Motorcycling, reading (history, literature), trying to learn Spanish and German, jogging and working out.

Thank you!
