My First Exhibition: The Dirty Show!

I'm very excited to announce that one of my pieces was chosen for an exhibition of erotic art in Detroit. The Dirty Show is celebrating their 10 year anniversary in 2009. They actually contacted me after seeing my MySpace page (glad I joined that again) and suggested that I submit.

The piece that got into the show was the original pencil drawing of an image that was requested by a member. In "MASIcre", Carlo Masi is in stocks and on public display at the Folsom Street Fair being tickled for charity. It's actually one of my favorite pieces from last year, and I can see why it was chosen. It's one of my more explicit images.

The show is being held at Bert's Warehouse Theater in Detroit, and the dates the exhibition will be open are February 6th, 7th and 8th and also February 13th and 14th. There are very specific times that the gallery will be open, so be sure to check out the full details at www.thedirtyshow.com

Pics from My Collection

I've got a pretty large library of (ahem) REFERENCE that I often use to create my drawings. I've decided that as part of my plan to make my blog a destination, I'll be sharing my collection with everyone. I will not be posting images from other pay sites, unless I happen to be promoting them. To kick it off (pun intended) I'm posting some of my favorite foot pics.

I'm Feeling Animated!

Hey Gang,

Here's a little info on the past two week's worth of updates. We'll start with last week.



First off, Wez delves into another one of his passions: Kung-Fu movies. He gives us a Shaolin Monk's non-violent defense against attack in "The 5 Fingers of Tickling".

Next, Sloth gives us what is actually the very next comic panel following Snake's Cap vs Hulk piece. Yeeeahh....that's it. Actually, this just happened to be a complete coincidental resemblance between the two drawings. Maybe I should do my own Cap vs Hulk piece next...



Because this week is a light week (only one new piece in the member's section) I decided to make it a special animated gif. The pit ticklers will love this one, as a sexy young man struggles to maintain his composure against animated wiggling fingers in "It's the Pits!".

Also added to the site this week, in our Free Archive, is the artwork that was produced for the TKLFrat's new home page. It depicts a young frat pledge undergoing one hell of an initiation. Be sure to drop by the TKLFrat site soon! They're undergoing some reconstruction, but their forums are alive and well.

See you all next week!

A Very Worthy Cause

Help support the TKLFrat! For years now, www.tklfrat.com has been a free website and community for fans of m/m tickling. They have the best forums on the subject, covering a wide variety of topics within the fetish. If you're into tickling and haven't visited the Frat's forums, you're really missing out.

The site is undergoing an overhaul right now, so some of the main links on the site are not working. However, they've updated the home page and forum main banner with brand new artwork that I provided for them, free of charge. In addition, I've donated the original pencils of the drawing for them to auction off to the highest bidder, in order to help support their operating costs. This is actually the first time an original "Achilles" has been offered up for sale.

Here's an image of the original pencil drawing that is up for grabs. It's 11" x 14", pencil on bristol paper.


If you'd like to bid on the drawing, you must be a registered member of the TKLFrat forums. It's easy to register, and completely free. The link to the auction is under their "General" forum under the heading "A special benefit for TKLFrat.com". The winning bidder will send payment directly to a member of the Frat's staff, and I will mail the drawing to the winner. I will sign the drawing, and will personalize the signature if desired.

Thanks for looking into this worthy cause!

Barbarians and Skydivers

This week brings a few new unusual pieces from Nomar and Snake.

First, Snake gives us "Ticklar the Barbarian", who finds himself at the mercy of a man-tickling and man-eating plant! Will he survive this ordeal to become a recurring character? We'll see...

Next, Nomar presents a drawing that seems to include the same guy from Sloth's recent piece "Early Riser". Two skydivers engage in a little mid-air hilarity in "Sky Ticklers".



That's all for this week!

Latest Obsession: Zane Lowe

This guy is the host of MTV Two's Gonzo, but I'm only just discovering him. He's incredibly hot (especially love the kick pic) and, judging by the brief but sexy tickling he gives Gerard Way, he could be "One of Us". Check out the video at the end of the post.

Tetsuooooo!

Hey Everyone!

Will Wez ever run out of post-apocalyptic scenarios in which to base his drawings? Apparently not. This week, he brings you "Tetsuooo Ho Ho!", a particularly ANIMEted piece, complete with telekinetic feathers.



WARNING! My piece this week is most definitely adult in nature. I took some inspiration from Franco this week, and put a poor, sexy young man at the mercy of an evil tickling/milking machine in "Tickle Spheres". Is it some bizarre futuristic torture robot? The twisted machine of an evil villain? You decide...

Enjoy this week's update!

Our First Commercial

Here's a little iMovie I threw together, to give those of you who haven't joined yet a taste of what you're missing.

The Bourne Hilarity

It's almost 2009, and we've wrapping up 2008 with the two artists that were the first contributors to AchillesHeelArt: Me and Sloth.



First, I bring you one of my personal fantasies: Mr. Damon. One part of the conditioning that was done to poor David Webb to turn him into a deadly assassin was omitted from that third movie in the trilogy. I give you the foot tickling of Jason in "The Bourne Hilarity".

Next, Sloth gives us an inventive bear-type who solved the problem of how to get up in time for work: a tickle-torturing timepiece! More than one thing is getting "up" in "Early Riser".

Next week we'll have the first posting of 2009! There are tons of great things in store in the coming year!

A Very AHA Christmas

Hey Everyone!

Despite being nearly buried in 3 feet of snow here in Massachusetts while I visit my relatives, I'm still in the Christmas giving spirit. This week we're posting 3 pieces of art for our special holiday update, two of them Christmas-themed!



First, Snake gives us a very kinky elf having a little bit of Yuletide cheer with Santa in "Underneath the Tickletoe".

Next, Sloth gives me "The Perfect Gift": a very ticklish and helpless hot young man with gorgeous feet. Just what I wanted!

I never posted about our new home page, so I'll mention it now. Santa's elves help him train for his upcoming season with the HoHoMeter. Santa won't get unstrapped until the meter reads "Jolly"!

And finally, Mr. Zikkon gives us the latest page in the continuing saga of Major Power and Private Thawtz. We're back to the present, and Major Power finally sees that Thawtz's tickle obsession is something he has to deal with, one way or another.

I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas! Thanks to everyone who helped to support us over the past year. We've got great things in store for 2009!
