I Wanna Hold Your Foot

Okay, folks: Snake wins this week's most clever title.

A member had written in wanting to see a young Paul McCartney tied and tickled by the other members of the Beatles because they're sick and tired of him writing all of their songs all the time. Not only did Snake do a great drawing of the Fab Four, but he nailed the title with "I Wanna Hold Your Foot".

Also this week, Sloth provides us with a tickle anticipation piece...in which a fratboy has a buffet of choices laid out before him. 3 hogtied young pledges, all barefoot. Where to begin...? "Eeney Meeney Miney Moe"

That's it for this week! Next week I'll be returning with some new art!

Feeling Animated

Hey Everyone,

I'm posting about our last two updates today:

Last week, Snake got a little "Sly" and gave us his third drawing, "Summer Gut-Buster" in which two of the biggest Action Heroes in the world go at each other in a merciless tickle fight.

My piece from last week (actually posted today) is a special animated version of our First Birthday card. I went back into it and turned it into an animated gif! I was pretty pleased with the results, although it's a little tougher to animate a piece that wasn't originally intended to be in motion. I'd love to hear what you think of this piece, and if you'd like to see more of this sort of thing. You can find the animation in the Free Archive section.

This week, Wez and Snake astound and delight with their latest masterworks. In "Take Your Stinking Paws Off Me", Snake takes us far into the future where poor Charlton is bound and manhandled...or is that APEhandled? In another cinematic trip into an apocalyptic future, Wez gives us "Glad Max". Roving bands of evil bikers scour the wasteland for poor victims to lash to their muscle cars and tickle to death. Don't tell me that Mel doesn't deserve this...

See you all next week!

Much-Needed VayCay

Hey everyone!

I'm in glorious Ocean City NJ for a late summer break. I'm getting lots of inspiration here, and taking in the last of the hot young guys in flip flops before they pack them away for fall.

This will be a light week, as we're posting a new piece from our newest artist "Snake". That will be coming early this evening, and will be fulfilling a member's request.

Next week, we'll be back up to full speed with 3 pieces from me, Wez and Sloth.

I'm off to go foot watching! Jealous?

Happy Birthday to Us! Our Biggest Update Ever!

Hey everyone,

I'm very excited to present our biggest update ever, in celebration of our first year online! Everyone pulled out the stops this week to provide you with their best work yet.

Photobucket

First, Mr. Zikkon continues his ongoing serial with a flashback into Captain Awesome's recent past, before he was captured by the evil Dr. Zyborg.

Second, Sloth illustrates a veritable tickling orgy in "AHA All-Stars". I couldn't believe this piece when I first saw it-he's included almost all the characters every artist at AHA has created so far in one image! It's been uploaded with a handy rollover guide, so you can identify each figure. Even I made I cameo!

Next, I'm very happy to introduce "Snake" to you. He's our latest find, and has a wonderful comic book style. As you can see, he's already got some incredible ideas in his first two pieces "Man of Heel" and "Tickle of Doom". We're thrilled to welcome him aboard, and can't wait to see what he comes up with next!

We're still not done! Wez has a special place in his heart for monsters. He's been dying to do this particular piece for awhile now. I had my doubts that a huge, rocky lava monster could look good being tickled. He proved me wrong with "You..Shall..LAUGH!"

And finally, I've provided my own birthday card for the site with a few of my own characters making a reappearance. It's in the free section, for everyone to enjoy.

And speaking of the free section: As a special bonus for our 1 year anniversary, I've moved 12 of our best drawings out of the member's galleries and into our Free Archive area. So, if you've been holding off joining, I hope these pieces provide the incentive to join today! The 12 free pieces are a great sampling of the kind of work you'll find in the 100 images in our member's section!

Thanks to each and every one of you who has supported us in the past year! We hope to continue to grow and provide you with the best tickling artwork on the web!

The Mother of all Updates (Next Week)

Hey everyone,

This week is a bit light, as we're preparing our biggest update ever for next Monday. We'll be posting 6 pieces, including some from a brand new artist! Also, we've got a special surprise in store for people who have never joined the site before. There will be some new additions to our "Free Archive" section that I hope will serve as an incentive for new members to come aboard.

Today, Wez continues his streak of videogame characters in ticklish situations with a little piece he's called: "Final Feet". This is one of my favorite pieces by him so far...

Be sure to tune in next week for the 1 year anniversary celebration!
