It's been AGES since my last journal, but I've been busy with school, family, bills, and all sorts of other such glorious things.

Though I have greatly neglected my furry art, it is only a matter of time before I (finally) begin uploading new furry works.
Iin the mean time, however, it has come to my attention that several works of Thoth (http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/258742/) have been rudely stolen by Admin --- most of the photos he made them out of were "public domain", and in case anyone reading this journal doesn't know what that means, here is the definition; http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/public_domain

To put it in simpler terms, such material is no more "not your own work, that you yourself created" (i.e., intellectual property) than the paper most artists on this site draw on --- no more than language you speak, the air you breathe, or the ideas that you think of.
There is no technically, legally, morally, or rationally valid reason to ban creative works made from such material --- it's a worthless technicality that serves only to drive artists away from FA, and atract negative publicity.

Not being one to expect others to "do as I say, not as I do", here is a complete list of my works made from public domain images (even if only partially);

While we're taking big risks, here are a few of my works that contain the intellectual property of others, made without thier knowledge;

I strongly encourage other FA members to do the same as me, to show Admin just how large of a percentage of thier site they will have to erase to avoid being complete and utter hipocrites...

...or, change thier rules to conform to physical reality.
