I appreciate the concern, but rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated. I am alive as ever! I AM NOT DEAD!
It is true that I have suffered significant vision loss in my left eye which makes it very uncomfortable for me to draw for extended periods of time. So I had to make some hard choices, and giving up creating tickling art is one of them. I must now use my limited vision to focus on my conventional career. (I like to eat) If for some miraculous reason my vision returns in the not too distant future, I will return.
Thanks for all the concern, encouragement and interest. When I first started drawing tickling art, I didn't think there was anyone else out there that was interested in this stuff. So it felt like I had no choice but to create art for my own enjoyment...Once I discovered that we are many of us I became motivated to create work for our under-served masses. But now I must move back to being merely a consumer.
Good Luck and Peace to you all.
Thanks.
