Just participated in a study by MostyFunStuff. He's interviewing fetish artists for his study and I answered a couple of questsions. I thought I'd post my answers here since many of you might be interested in my responses. If you're a fetish artist who wants to take part just send a message to MostlyFunStuff.


- What drove you into making your "specialised" art?

The short answer is that it's a fetish of mine, and my stories are a way of indulging in it. I started to write stories because I felt my specific fetish tastes weren't being indulged by other artists, so I thought I'd do it myself. But I think your question requires a longer response.

I've had stocking foot fetish for as long as I could remember. As a kid, it was more of a fascination than a sexual fetish. I used to crawl under the table and would love removing my sisters' shoes and would love playing with and tickling their feet. They used to wear stockings a lot. I would do it with other family members too. They used to tickle me a lot too, in fact, I think my sisters tickled me first (they were older), so in away, they created the monster.

I've always had a love for stockings and pantyhose ever since. The look and feel of the sheer material was very appealing on both the legs and and the feet, I definitely became a leg man as I approaced puberty. As I got older, it became more of a sexual thing, and would become a major part of my fantasies. Whenever I would see a girl in pantyhose or stockings I would often try to imagine what her feet looked like, I would fantasize about removing her shoes. Even if I couldn't tell what kind of socks she was wearing, I would still fantasize that I would be able to remove her footwear and reveal beautiful feet in nylon.

I was always very creative, I would draw comics, write stories. Very rarely fetish content involved, but I would sometimes sneak some in. I would always keep it private though, and to this day I'm very private about my fetish, and the works I do. It's not because I'm ashamed, but because I feel it is a very personal part of my life.

With the internet I discovered websites like legsandheels.com back in 1998. This message board had great story writers like Spherio, Snowman, Kinja and Lady Laces. I started writing stories of my own on this message board. I also discovered new tickling writers like Libtick and JtheQuill who got me into nylon tickling fiction, and soon after nomdreserv introduced me to the world of shrinking woman fiction. It was while reading his stories that I came up with the idea for a pair of nylons that would shrink a woman inside of them. All of these influences combined to my first major story, The Magic Body Stocking, which I posted on several message boards and appeared on Vulcan's website between 1999 and 2001.

Other nylon tickling stories followed in the coming years. I mainly posted them on tickletheater and the ticklingforum, but also hosted my own website for awhile. Eventually I moved them all over to deviantart. By 2006, I had stopped writing, mostly because I had run out of motivation. I still had the idea for the comic sequel to my first shrinking story, but hadn't continued it until recently.


- What are your opinions on the fetish art scene in general?

I think it's great. Art is art and there should be no restrictions except those placed by the artist himself or herself. I can't get into a lot of the fetishes out there, and a lot of it actually makes me cringe. But I'm sure there's a lot of people who find the stuff I'm into disgusting, so I can't be one to judge. Everyone's fetish is different. Even mine is probably very different from the next foot fetishist. Even one who is also into nylons. After all, I wouldn't have bothered to write my stories if my fetish was the same as every other nylon foot lover.
