1) Do you want to tell us something about yourself and your art?

Hi! I go by Cuzzo in every platform. I´ve been doing art for almost 3 years now. I got into tickling art in Deviantart last August, 2025. I´m 29 y/o as of right now, I´m from Argentina, I’m a musician, and I hope to make comics and lots of different art projects in the near future.

2) What techniques do you use to draw? Do you have a favorite artist that inspires you?

Right now I’m experimenting. I’m mainly a digital artist. I like to use ClipStudioPaint for backgrounds since I find it easier to use rulers and quick selections, and I do my lineart and rendering in Photoshop, that’s my current workflow.

For my latest artwork I was really trying to use what I learned from Rocio Zucchi, another Argentinian artist that I look up to, who has collabed with MTJ comics and has an amazing independent comic series called Spirinette. She has a manga inspired artstyle that I really like. I look into manga artists for inspiration mostly, and there´s a youtuber called kionaoki that I’ve followed for a couple of years, that has a killer lineart and rendering style that i use as reference.

3) How much was the passion for drawing born in you? And the one for the tickle?

Well, I’m a musician, so ive always been a pretty artistic person, and my love for drawing came from my love for manga. A couple of years ago I started buying physical copies (I’ve always read online manga since i was 15) and reading them while going to work, and it made me start thinking about drawing myself. With regards to tickling… im a full blown fetishist since i can remember, and i love tickling themed comics and manga, so it was only natural for me to want to draw this kind of thing!

4)What are the tickling scenarios that you prefer to draw?

I haven’t done that many illustrations yet, although I have a lot of unfinished and unpublished drawings, so I’ll say mostly what I like to see and replicate.

I´d love it.

I haven’t done that many illustrations yet, although I have a lot of unfinished and unpublished drawings, so I’ll say mostly what I like to see and replicate.

I´d love to do more scenarios where the lee is embarrassed to be seen getting tickled, I love that flustered look.

Also a big fan of tickling machines and gadgets, multiple arms and so on.

I would like to make multiple lees get tickled, so I can see lots of angles and expressions contrasting each other. And lastly, maybe something more erotic, including male lees, i havent done that before and guys deserve more tickles!

5) What are the aspects of tickling that you intend to represent with your art? Example: the laughing, the wriggling, the relationship between tickler and ticklee?

DEFINITELY expressions, that is what draws me the most into liking the illustration, or even irl videos. Scenarios are always good as long as I find them interesting. When the lee is showing an interesting expression, say laughing like a maniac, struggling to keep their cool, or just a cute giggling face, I just can’t get enough of that.

6) Online there are countless photos and videos of tickling sessions. In your opinion, what do illustrations offer more than images of real life?

Angles are also important to me. I prefer interesting poses and POV´s rather than something you can see in every tickling video. Also, the main reason I want to do comics is because you can make any story related to tickling, work.

I love HardNerdCollector´s work because he can make a lot of really cool ideas into awesome stories that fully use tickling scenarios and reactions from the characters. That I can hardly find in a tickling video, there’s great ones, but most of them are not that interesting to me.

7)In your opinion, what makes tickling so interesting for fans of this phenomenon?

It depends on each person, but I believe it’s just fun. It’s a social thing, like hanging out and playing something you both enjoy, and it doesn’t even need to be sexual. There’s also receiving attention for the lee, and being in control for the ler, that kind of stuff.

Also…it´s very cute. lol.

8)What are your works of which you are most proud?

For sure my last commissioned work of Bea from Pokémon, i spent a lot of time and effort on that one. I haven’t done that on a tickling related Project before, and it inspires me to do the same for all my work.

9)Do you have any particular artistic goal?

I want to draw comics in general, tickling and non tickling related. I´d love to make a fully done couple of pages in one shot, and work from there. Also I SUCK AT DRAWING FEET. That needs to change ASAP.

10)Do you think AIs will end up enriching or impoverishing the art of tickling representations?

I don’t have anything bad to say about people who use it for tickling art, not everyone can or want to hire an artist for fetish stuff. That being said, I’m not a fan of it.

I think as of right now it just generates a lot of really uninspired and generic stuff, I don’t think it will be able to replicate the same energy and creativity human made art can do.
