The Closing of AchillesHeelArt

[achillesheelart]

This week marks the 5th anniversary of our site and, unfortunately, a sad announcement. We will be closing down on October 30th.

This is not a decision I made lightly, but the time has come for me to move on to other things. Sadly, the site was never quite the success that I'd hoped it would be, even after I added a section of straight content to attract more members.

I have had an incredible time bringing so many tickling fantasies to life, and was privileged to work with some amazing talent. I made lots of new friends, and I feel like my drawing skills have improved so much since I first started. I don't regret my time with AchillesHeelArt, but it's time for me to focus my energies elsewhere.

Now for some logistical (logistickle?) information:

-For the past two years or so, AchillesHeelArt has been offered as bonus content on MyFriendsFeet.com. That will continue. The archive of all of our work will still be offered by CatInHat for members who join his VIP membership program. That's more than 600 drawings!

-I am not giving up tickling artwork entirely. I will still draw the occasional new piece of art for MyFriendsFeet directly. However, CatInHat will not be commissioning new work from the other artists that were on AchillesHeelArt.

-I will still be open for private commissions! I've been getting a lot lately, and will continue to accept them as I have the time for them.

-My blog will continue! I will be blogging more often, and will post information about any new art or commissions that I am working on. I'll also continue to review tickling sites, and post hot foot and tickle pics from my personal collection.

-The last day the site will be open will be October 30th. The last day to buy a 30 day membership will be September 30th. The 60 day and 90 day and recurring purchasing options have been eliminated.

-If you have a recurring membership it will cease to bill on October 30th.

So, September 30th is your last chance to jump on board to see what we were able to accomplish in 5 years! More than 600 tickling drawings of men and women, tickled crazy on their bare feet and sensitive bodies by a very talented team of artists.

I want to thank everyone who has every joined my site or sent me a kind word about my work. I truly appreciate it!

Keep laughing, everyone!

sorry to hear that, AHA. You definitly had some good quality art on your site. I wish you the best of luck in your future goals.

I feared this was going to happen. I just wish there was more I could've done.

At least it doesn't mean you're giving up on the community. I guess this just means I'll have to contact you about commissions, then!

Thank you, though, Achilles. Thank you for spending so much time on one of the few sites that steadfastly dedicated themselves to m/m, one of the most under-appreciated sides of tickling. I doubt anyone will be able to fill that hole, but I guess that's how it has to be sometimes.

Again, thanks for everything, Achilles.

That's sad, I'm sorry. I love your work, I've been a fan for a long time. Good luck with whatever you do Achilles and keep smiling.

Well.... that's kind of a huge bummer. Sorry about the situation, bud. I guess it just wasn't meant to be.

But, I wish only the best for your future endeavors and hope that your talent brings you to new heights, even if it means we see less of you in this corner. And thank you for having it up as long as you have, I think I'm speaking for all the customers you've had when I say your site is one of the best collections, completely artisan!

Thanks for the words of support guys. It's truly appreciated.

One note: It's been pointed out to me that October actually has 31 days (duh) and that the 31st falls on a Wednesday. Therefore, the last day to buy a 30 membership will be October 2nd, which will give you access to our last 5 weeks of updates in October.

You're so smart, Achilles~
