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

I’m PersonatusTK. There’s nothing much to say, I’m not an interesting individual.

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

I just draw, and don’t really have a favorite artist as main inspiration, mostly several different artists in and out of the community I get inspired from to improve my art.

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

Honestly I don’t know.

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

Depending on my mood, and the character I draw, I like to do friendly, playful tickling for several of my OC’s, and more extreme scenarios with other characters.

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?

I just draw, I haven’t sensed any particular pattern, but maybe someone else could point out a common theme among my arts(?).

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

Fantastical scenarios (monsters, magic, machines, and other “evil” or “mean” stuff you couldn’t really recreate on a video), and characters you can meet and know beyond the tickling, I guess, many artists do want to make more stuff with their OC’s in this community.

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

I couldn’t say for sure, I’d say it’s a combination of several things, for some people it may be a form of intimacy (like emotional or romantic), for others may just “tickle” some part of their brains, and others may like it for the BDSM aspect.

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

I can’t be sure at any moment, the latest I’ve done, I guess. The latest one tends to be the best one, though there are highlights for me.

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

I don’t know, the only certain thing about the future is death. /j

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

Empoverishing, genAI, despite feeding on every image around, ends up giving good results only on the most common stuff, so if it’s used enough we would just end up flooded with “incestuous” images, that feed on each other to create images that will result bland and uninspired.
