Charlie Hunter (website - LiveJournal) works with such confidence when he makes a piece of art. You can see it in the exquisite detail of his brushwork. Here at PlanetBears, I have spoken of his great drawings in the past (articles), yet today holds a very special meaning to me. Charlie sent in an excellent sketch of my partner, Roger (galleries - profile). All I can say is 'wow...'. Actually, I can write a hundred praise words, yet I will resort to the old saying - 'a painting is worth a thousand words' (this is the original drawing that Charlie used). When I showed the drawing to Roger, he said 'that's me... he really captured the essence of me'. And that's what a great artist can do; he captures almost a piece of the subject's soul and places it onto the canvass, making it come alive. So a huge thanks goes to Charlie for putting so much time and effort into a piece that Roger 'n I will cherish for the rest of our lives.

The following is from Christophe Jannin (website - blog - TubeBear profile - PlanetBears articles): "Here's a new drawing I am sharing with you. It's Michel Strogoff (drawing here), Jules Verne's hero. Some symbols are visible in this drawing and are directly linked to the behaviour of the Chinese army in Tibet (I say army, not Chinese people). The flame shows that it's not always symbol of hope, it can be the symbol of blind violence, this flame which reminds the heated saber used to blind Michel Strogoff. Also the flame of the Olympic torch... the iron collar and chain, symbol of the constraint by force, the rope, symbol of the privation of freedom, all these values I cherish so much. Two Masonic symbols are in the drawing but you'll have to find them by yourself.

About my actuality, the second half of the year is going to be full of events. First, I will be in France in July and August and will have two exhibitions, one in Lyon and one in Orleans during the Gay and Lesbian Film Festival where I've been invited. I will do for this occasion, the poster. A publishing is planned for the end of the year and also the start of a big project, but I will talk about it later".

Ever since I've been taking pictures of Bearish men, my biggest request from guys has been: "can you take more Bear feet shots...?". Sure I also get a small slew of other requests for all kinds of kinky shots and poses, but feet pics is definitely #1. There are definitely a lot of men who are into other men's feet.

There's a lot of things you can do with men's feet - rub them, hug them, lick them, suck them, massage them... and you can also tickle them and sometimes even tie them down. Here's where Achilles' new site comes in: it's a new male to male tickling illustration site called AchillesHeelArt.com. He states that he will occasionally post pics of Bearish men either tickling or being tickled. From Achilles: "I'm a fan of  big burly hairy men, their big bare feet and of tickling. I recently got back into producing tickle fetish artwork and decided to put together my own website. I don't want to misrepresent it as an all-Bear site. There will be a variety of types of men to cater to all tastes, but you won't see an endless parade of hairless twinks. There will be manly men fairly often in a variety of situations and costumes".

Looks like a truly fun new site. He has a free section as well as a contributor's section for those who want to send in their ticklish artwork. Also, check out Achilles' blog and his MySpace page... and remember... 'koochi koochi koo...'.
