Fantastic list, thank you for taking the time to collect and post these! Looking forward to checking them all out.

fuck yea jeremy fish. his stuff is all over the lower haight (all over sf in general)

another dude to look up (if you haven't posted it already) is n8vandyke.com who draw great apes (double connotation).

In other words, being a member of this community is not an instant death sentence for all professional work?

I don't believe any of these artists were members of this community directly? Research their past, and who knows. Aliases hide so much.

But being an artist who works with similar subject matter is not a career death sentence. If handled correctly, it becomes just as relevant as any form of post modernism.

Being associated to FA, on the other hand, could be a blemish... but many fine artists have started with groups that went down in drama/flames far worse than anything FA has produced.

Well, that's a refreshing and reassuring view on it~
In other words: everybody is multidimensional, and one blemish a bad or undesirable person does not make, sociocultural factors aside. At least in the art field. XD I actually didn't know one of my favorite artists, Toulouse Lautrec, had done pornographic work as well as his famous works. Heck, just about everybody has a skeleton in their closet I guess. XD Guess it all depends on what the skeleton is...

I had gotten similar responses to similar questions but this was a reassuring reply, thanks!

And I am kind of illiterate to internet culture, so I find it hard to believe something outside of a political or religious debate has more drama than FA. XD It's something I like to avoid when possible.

Fascinating. All sorts of interesting stuff in there.

Thankyou for the links :)

btw what does nsfw stand for?

Not Safe For Work - i.e. possibly containing nudity, blood/gore, or other topics not browsed in polite company.

ah I see

Thankyou for clearing that up!

Oh man, I love this Joao Ruas (feralkid.com). He definitely reminds me of James Jean, and has even done covers for Fables (which is where I first learned about James Jean).

Man I love those colors and that mostly-realistic style... So great.

Always thankful for these journals. You continue to rock.
