Terrie Smith has a Patreon
a month ago
If you're an older member of the furry/anthro community there's a good chance Terrie Smith was one of the first furry artists you came across. Well now Terrie has a Patreon account Link. The community owes much to her.
If you're a younger member of the community it was the works of artist like Terrie, and many that have now been forgotten or are no longer with us, that helped establish the visual foundation that has let this community grow and flourish.

I started drawing them in something of a vacuum, Steve Gallaci was my first exposure that there were artists who interested in the same things as I was.

Terrie Smith and Michele Light. Reed Waller if you count him, because I don't think he considered himself one of us.

Same could be said for Eastman and Laird. I knew of turtles before I found the fandom.

Vickie Wyman is also another old school furry artist. She passed away several years ago now, but she certainly had an impact on furry art back in the day.

Yep we've lost several pillar members of the community in the last few years.

2018, I was at Megaplex when I heard about it. She was great.

i would not have bothered to be an artist today if not for her support...
