Spankart
From Spanking Art
Spankart is a writer of encyclopedic articles about spanking and spanking art, and a hobby spanking artist. His drawings are mainly child spanking art of all gender combinations (F/f, F/m, M/f, M/m). He has also done some experiments with animation and interactive art. Spankart mostly works in monochrome and only rarely in color.

[edit] Background
Spankart's main fascination with spanking lies in its historic reality, and the conflict between its historic reality and today's world. Growing up in a practically spanking-free environment in the 1970s and 80s, he has been intrigued since early childhood with the "traditional" concept of correcting (and paying for) misbehavior, sins and crimes through corporal punishment — even, and especially, when the sinners were children. From today's perspective, the fact that children were subjected to such supremely embarrassing, humiliating and painful punishments when they had been naughty, misbehaved, lazy or stupid in the eyes of their parents or teachers is just as hard to believe as is the speed, breadth and radicalness of the change society has made in this respect in just two or three generations. Spankart surmises such an abrupt societal turnaround can not be without side-effects, and the current widespread eroticization of spanking (and the BDSM boom in general) may be one of these side-effects.
In his drawings he tries to capture the bygone era of spanking as a punishment method in the home and in educational institutions, focusing on the late 19th and early 20th century in particular. The mood of his works is typically sedate, with an air of resigned submission to their inevitable fate on the side of the spankee, and the spanker carrying out what they know is their right and duty. Spankart does not like to portray strong expressions such as fear, pain, rage or anger. He prefers to keep the character's emotions concealed so they are more open to the viewer's imagination.
Being somewhat of a buttocks fetishist too, one visual element that's important to Spankart is the (usually exposed) spankee's bottom.
[edit] Works
A selection of Spankart's works has been published on free websites such as Handprints and his own site, A Spanking New Art Genre, which was deleted by its webhost buzzlink in the summer of 2005 and has not yet been restored.
Spankart's latest major visual work is Bridget, a 6-page F/f comic which was published in October 2005 on the Handprints site. Bridget tells the story of a miracle that, according to the legend, happened to St. Bridget of Sweden when she was a teenager.

[edit] Other activities
Spankart has studied and collected information about spanking for all of his life, but especially since the mid-1980s when the interest became an obsession for him. The subject is so ample that these studies will surely never reach an end for as long as he lives. With his previous websites, but even more so with this wiki, he tries to share as much information about spanking as possible with the rest of the world, in the spirit of free knowledge.
As fan of good spanking art (and stories) and self-taught hobby artist, Spankart supports other artists in this genre, both educationally and by promoting their rights, in particular the freedom to create and publish spanking art legally (see also free speech and free artistic expression).
In 2002, Spankart founded the Spanking Art Studio, a web group for active spanking artists (especially newcomers and hobby artists) to give and get constructive critique on their works.
In 2003, Spankart became a hobby tutor for people who want to learn the basics of figure drawing, cartooning, comic creation and other related skills. From 2003 to 2005, he published the free website mentioned above, A Spanking New Art Genre, which mainly featured figure drawing tutorials.
In 2005, Spankart launched the Spanking Art wiki. He believes in open content and is convinced that an open wiki is an excellent platform and technical means to share information and knowledge, as Wikipedia has successfully demonstrated.
Since 2005, Spankart has become more and more mainly a wiki author and spent less time on drawing and other visual art. Since March 2006, he does Web research and writes wiki articles on an almost daily basis. The Spanking Art wiki has become his main "baby" and he spends countless hours on expanding it every week.
