Guess whose computer died?

Hey gang. So guess whose MacBook from 2018 finally decided it was going to kick it? I am waaaaay out on the eastern tip of Long Island house-sitting for my cousin and my computer that had been giving me trouble decided to not start up. Luckily, there was an Apple repair place one town over that managed get it running long enough for me to at least transfer the data off of it. Also, my partner had been planning to buy me a new laptop as a surprise so, when this one died, he stepped up the tim...

FMNYC Totally Tickling

Hey gang,

Here is a drawing I did for the next FMNYC Totally Tickling party. It's a revision of the last one I did with new characters and a new tickle tool. I included both an animated version and a still one.

Also, a sneak preview of the next drawing coming at some point tomorrow. It'll be mind....bendering

Achilles Asylum: 1980s Audio Therapy

With the advancement of the robotic tickling hands that began development after the influx of military funds in the 1960s, patients could often be left alone for hours while their doctors attended other duties. Without the personal touch of an attending physician, they were sometimes able to resist their treatment.

Verbal taunting and teasing from the doctors was an important component of the therapy so, if patients had to be left alone, they were given audio via headset to help break ...

AI Christmas 3

Here's one last Christmas piece for 2024! The elves and their floor manager introduce poor Santa to their latest invention: the Foot Featherer 2000. They use it to get a leg up on their contract negotiations for their toy production for the following year. Will Santa give in to their demands? Or will he ho-ho-hold out?

Bumbles TICKLE!

Happy Holidays, everyone! I wanted to end the year on a Christmas image and who better to tickle than that burly bear we all had a crush on, Yukon Cornelius. Poor Yukon discovers that Bumbles not only bounce, they TICKLE. I had a lot of fun with this one as the annual Rudolph special was my favorite when I was a kid. Hope you all have a safe holiday and I'll see you in the New Year!

AI Frankenstein 1

Because I made you guys wait so long between updates, here's another AI piece just for fun. I meant to upload this one last Halloween, but I forgot.

One thing I've played around with is trying to see how AI would produce some of my older drawings. "It's Alive...And TICKLISH" is one of my more popular drawings and I tried to see if Bing would do a similar scenario. I had to go into this one with a bit of Photoshop to get it right. Frank's laughing face is from a different image, and I ha...

The Tentacle Pit

Well, here it is. Sometimes all you need is a helpless, ticklish sexy guy and some tentacles. I decided to do a dramatically lit one as a 2nd option for you too. Hope you enjoy this! I'll be back to posting on a more regular schedule soon, including more asylum pieces!

Time For Some Real Talk

Hey gang, I know it's been awhile. I owe you all a bit of an explanation as you have been more than patient with me. It's been a rough month or so. I'm not going to turn this into a political post, but I do have to say that the election hit me hard, especially that first week. It hit me a lot harder than I thought it would.

I've been in alternating states of depression and panic and just numbness for weeks. It's been very hard to find the motivation to work in this state. It's the loomi...

Hey Guys

I know I haven't been the best about regular updates but after this morning I'm just despondent and very numb and it's going to be a couple of days before I can pick up a pencil again. Right now I just can't. I'll be okay and I will get back to it, but my brain won't let me concentrate on anything at the moment.

AI Circus Strongman 2

This week I'm circling back around to the very first AI concept I played with: circus strongmen being tickled by clowns. There's something so vintage pin-up-y about this scenario and I just love everything about it. The over-the-top fluffy feathers versus muscles, clowns as ticklers, the powerful man trying to hold something heavy above his head while he's gently tickle-teased. All of it pushes my buttons.

This also leads me to some thoughts about my AI stuff in general. I was trying t...

FootMenNYC Totally Tickling Party

Speaking of tickling gatherings: The FootMenNYC weekly foot party has added 4 quarterly tickle-specific parties on Sundays and December 15th 2024 is their 4th one!

I made art to advertise the first three parties that was essentially the same image with some modifications but this time I created a brand new one! As I was arranging the layers I realized that it would be pretty easy to do a simple animation.

Space is limited in this venue so, if you're interested in attending, don't...

Musings on TKLfest 2024

Well another TKLfest has come and gone and I'm back home after a 5 hour flight from Las Vegas. This was my third and definitely not my last. I'm hooked. I'm actually hooked more because of the incredibly strong sense of community than the tickling play that goes on there.

The recurring sentiment I heard from people who were brand new to Fest was how surprised they were that it was as much of a social gathering as a kink one. What several of them had pictured was a non-stop tickle orgy...

Orctober 2024

Here's the finished Orctober! God I loved drawing those beefy feet. There's just something about a big, tough brute who falls to pieces when you lightly touch his soles. That's what tickling is all about, isn't it? Hope you enjoy poor Grom getting his big paws teased! I made a version without text for you, too.

Orctober-Sketch

Hey everyone! Coming tomorrow (probably late) is my first ever drawing for Orctober! I don't know why I've never participated in this celebration before, as Orcs are totally my type. I still have to color it, but I think you beefy foot lovers are REALLY going to enjoy this one. Stay tuned!

Achilles Asylum: 1940s Internship Program

By the 1940s, the asylum had been in operation for over 20 years. Many of the founding doctors had either aged out or died off. An internship program was developed to attract "fresh blood" to the ranks, so that the experienced ticklers could pass on their knowledge and techniques to a new generation.

The recruitment process began with an application in which the young men were encouraged to explain in detail why tickling fascinated them. In most cases, they had been on the receiving en...

The Tickling Dutchman

I don't know why I'm so fascinated by the idea of pirates who tickle, but it's a definite thing for me.

I was never really a watcher or a fan of SpongeBob, but recently I came across the character The Flying Dutchman and thought to myself, "Now THAT'S a tickler!". We're all familiar with the infamous Man Ray tickle belt scene, so I thought he should be the one getting tormented again. I wasn't sure what his body looked like under that costume, but after a little googling I found an im...

AI Tickle Tree 1

I'm putting the finishing touches on the latest drawing. In the meantime, enjoy the plight of this poor lumberjack!

The burly lumberjack walked from his tractor to the first tree marked for cutting. On his way into the deeper woods he tripped over a protruding root and dropped his axe. He righted himself and was adjusting his overalls when he suddenly felt his arms violently grabbed from behind and spread apart. Long, leafy branches had wound around his biceps, holding his arms wide ope...

My Beach Toes!

Here's the vid of me wiggling my toes in the wet sand at the Jersey Shore. Enjoy!

My Beach Feet!

While I am finishing up the latest drawing, I thought I'd give you all a little in-between bonus of my vacation feet! I've been at the Jersey Shore for a few weeks and I've been taking snaps of my soles and toes for you guys while I've been here. Plus I made a little vid of me wiggling and flexing my toes in the sand, but Patreon won't let you put stills and video in the same post. I'll post that separately!

AI Giggle Gas 1

In playing around to make images for the asylum project, I accidentally stumbled on a way to make images that incorporated laughing gas. However, for some reason this made the images even more over-the-top and like something out of a 1960s James Bond film. I decided to not include these with the asylum but to keep them separate. I've never had a laughing gas fetish myself, but I have to admit the idea of a man trapped and forced to laugh even if there's no tickling involved is kind of a turn ...

No Time to Die Laughing

I've been playing around with AI and making various tickle machines with it, and this drawing was based around one of the images that it came up with. I'd been meaning to do a piece starring Daniel Craig's James Bond, but I thought I'd put in him in a scenario you might've seen in the 1960s with an over-the-top villain and a device designed for torment. Poor Bond finds himself at the mercy of Dr. Featherstone, who is obsessed with 007's soft, ticklish feet. This wicked machine will leave Jame...

Achilles Asylum: 1980s Patient Log 1

The "Feather Tease Method" was a tried and true practice at the asylum from its earliest days. The doctors knew that the psychological threat of being tickled could be as powerful as the tickle itself, sometimes more so. The method was used primarily with new patients who had been found to have excruciatingly ticklish feet. The men were made completely immobile in the most constrictive bondage possible with their bare feet exposed. They were often left alone in a room for 15-30 minutes before...

AI Genie 3

When Aladdin used his third wish to ask for "eternal happiness", he soon realized he should have worded his request much more carefully. He suddenly found his hands lashed to a beam above his head, his armpits exposed and helpless. Dozens of blue arms with wriggling fingertips appeared and began to tickle his torso relentlessly. "NO! NOT LIKE THIS!" he managed to cry out between spasms of laughter. "Too late!" said the genie as he exited the room, leaving the young man to his torment. "You're...

TKLfest 2024 Poster

Here's a little bonus for you! I finished this awhile ago but I was waiting for the fine folks at Fest to post it: it's my official ad poster for this year's TKLfest in Vegas, baby! My idea was always to center the design around a slot machine and I had a lot of fun making the little tickle-centric icons and graphics for the machine itself. There's still plenty of time to register for the event, so visit the website listed at the bottom if you're interested!

Nova Stamina

Hey gang! This week is the 2nd drawing from my old friend Sloth, who has filled in for me this month because I've been so busy with a real-world project. He decided to go back to a character he created oh so many moons ago, Buck Nova. Since Buck so often finds himself in otherworldly ticklish situations, his team decides to put him through rigorous ticklish endurance training so he'll be better prepared for his adventures. A few of the "scientists" in the lab might have a few ulterior motives...

AI Giants 1

The giant leered over his tiny sleeping prisoner that he'd left trapped on a high ledge in his cave. "Wake up, little man! It's time to get you cleaned up!" The terrified old man backed away from the huge hand holding a soft bristled scrub brush. "Let's start with those tiny feet of yours!" The enormous man began to gently run the brush back and forth across the bare feet of his captive. "NO! No no, please! It tickles!" cried the man desperately. "That's the idea!" said the giant with a wicke...

Achilles Asylum: 1960s Mechanical Hands

After the military took a special interest in the goings on at the mysterious asylum, an enormous influx of funding opened new avenues for the doctors. A robotics division was developed with the express purpose of testing the dexterity of mechanical hands. Though the initial prototypes were somewhat crude and clumsy, the technology developed in this wing seemed decades ahead of similar industries. The doctors found the relentless mechanical fingers especially effective on patients' bare feet ...

Ticklish in Dungeon

I currently have a month-long real world project that is keeping me insanely busy, so my old pal Sloth is stepping in for me for two weeks!

When he asked what character he should draw, I immediately thought of Senshi, as he's been appearing in naughty fan art everywhere.

In "Ticklish in Dungeon", the mushrooms take revenge on the poor ticklish dwarf for cooking and eating their comrade. They all take a tase of his most sensitive parts, driving the poor warrior crazy!

Hope...

AI Gangsters 1

Johnny Knuckles was proving a tough nut to crack. None of the usual methods of persuasion were loosening his lips. Until Danny, one of the toughs working him over, accidentally grazed his armpit. Johnny let out an involuntary giggle and jerked away. "What's this?" Danny asked, an evil smile growing on his face. "Is Johnny TICKLISH?" After 15 minutes of non-stop helpless laughter Johnny finally gave in. "Hey, I love this new method!" cackled Danny. "We'll just TICKLE it outta them from now on!...

The Trial of He-Man

I hope this commissioned piece I just finished was worth the wait! I have always been a huge fan of the Masters of the Universe (can't imagine why...muscle hunks in leather harnesses and loincloths?) but there have been multiple iterations of the characters over the years. I was first exposed to the original Filmation cartoon when I was a kid, but the person who requested this drawing specifically wanted the 200X version of the characters. I worked hard to make sure all of the costume details...
