Not sure where I'm at.
10 years ago
I've missed my furry muse. She hasn't come to visit for a very long time, and for that I apologize. Just not sure how to wake her back up. Been dealing with RL so much lately, I really haven't had time to even think about it. And health issues haven't helped. Creative endeavors have found some other outlets, but not the art that I miss doing. Doug Winger's passing today (god rest him, he was a brilliant man, one I'm glad I got to know back in the day) kinda brought it back to mind... I 'used' to be one of the 'founders' like him, once upon a time. And I admit... I'm old school. I don't have all the cool programs people use to color. I can't afford a tablet to draw into a program, much less afford those programs to color with... I still use good ol' pencil and paper. And I feel like I couldn't even hope to keep up.
I am not pandering for compliments. Just laying out thoughts. I haven't even been to a con in the last ... 5 years, if not longer. It's kinda depressing in that regard. I'm just missing it, and not even sure if I -can- reassert myself into a fandom that has changed so much and so rapidly lately.
I dunno, don't mind me. I'm waxing philosophical.

Furry art is a way of saying something in a different artistic “language”. Very often Real Life keeps us too busy to allow us to sit back and wonder about “stuff”. To occasionally turn Real Life ideas upside down and wonder “what if”.
In a very addictive way, Furry art can be a nice “vacation” to send your mind on -- away from all the “have to”s, and “must be a certain way”s of Real Life.
Furry is a time to seriously be silly. Your muse will come out of hiding when he/she hears you laughing.
