In 2014 I spent a lot of time writing a blog about Cupid getting spanked, and how this inspired so many old artists. Somehow my blog got lost (perhaps I deleted it by accident) so I tried to restore it.
Even though I don’t post art showing children getting spanked (since I feel spanking needs to be consensual) in terms of art I make this once exception.
Think about it, Cupid got spanked for trying to bring love to the air!
Enjoy this gallery, it took me over an hour to complete with all the info on the art included.
