Tickle artists #135: Interview with Lamonadedead

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

I’m Lamonadedead. I don’t like to talk much about myself, but I can say I really enjoy what I do ^^. I relate a lot to my art, and I’d say I put a lot of effort into my work—especially when it involves feet. I try to draw the kind of things I personally enjoy seeing.

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

I used to draw entirely in traditional media, but now I work completely in digital. I still appreciate traditional techniques, though. In digital, I like to use brushes that replicate a pencil style—the “doodle” look really appeals to me!

I’ve had several artists inspire me, including some big names like Caroo’s Dungeon, ZP92, and many more. If I listed them all, I’d never finish—especially because some of them have become amazing friends.

3) How long have you had a passion for drawing? And what about tickling?

To be honest, I’ve had it for as long as I can remember. Anything related to feet, bondage, and tickling has always caught my attention, so I can’t really say how far back it goes. I liked tickling from early on, and my interest in it grew once I started creating art in 2022. At first, I wasn’t very motivated, but as I improved, I decided to experiment with tickling themes. I really liked the results and found genuine pleasure in drawing them.

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

Almost anything, honestly—it’s hard to choose because I like so many scenarios and I’m very open to different concepts and ideas. If I think about it calmly, I’d say my favorites include lots of bondage, gags or blindfolds, and maybe tickle torture. I love the feeling of total helplessness, where you can’t do anything against the tickles—literally nothing. I like to vary, though: sometimes I make bedroom settings, or even more unusual ones like latex environments or sandy places. Usually, I keep it in common settings like a house. When I draw characters from movies or other media, I base the scenarios on inspirations from that source.

5) What aspects of tickling do you aim to represent in your art? For example: laughing, wriggling, the relationship between tickler and ticklee?

For me, it’s very simple—feet and the feeling. Not much else to say; I keep it simple like that :3

6) Online there are countless photos and videos of tickling sessions. In your opinion, what do illustrations offer that real-life images cannot?

The flexibility of concepts and characters. For some people, it’s not the same to see someone dressed up as Roxanne Wolf as it is to see Roxanne Wolf herself. It’s not the same to see someone using feathers as it is to see magical feathers. Drawings let creativity flow, offering variety and possibilities that real life can’t provide. It’s about trying to live out a fantasy, and that’s pretty great.

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

I think it’s the same reason bondage lovers often enjoy tickling—the usual sub/dom dynamics. For foot fans, of course, there’s also the feet XD. And some people just want to imagine themselves in those pictures, too.

8) Which of your works are you most proud of?

I’m proud of the works that took me a lot of time, like big commissions or drawings I made just for myself, including some from my early days.

9) Do you have any particular artistic goals for the future?

I’d like to be recognized and become a familiar figure in the community—one of those artists who makes people say, “Oh! He did this for me once!” or “Oh my god! I know this artist!”

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

I’m not sure, honestly. I know there are concerns about AI replacing artists, and I really hope that never happens. An AI can never replace the heart and effort put into real art, because there’s a spark in it that can’t be erased or replicated.
