Hey folks! Sorry for the flood of submissions this evening ... It's been awhile and I'm way behind on uploading stuff here! I'm gonna try to be better about that in future.

(And as ever, if I've done a sketch for you at a con, PLEEEEEASE send me a scan if you can! Preferably hi-res, 300dpi or so! Thanks!)

This is a bit last-minute ... having BLFC and AC so close back-to-back has been a bit hectic. :) But I'm opening a few slots for AC pre-order pickup badges ... including the usual Standard, Premium, and Big Guy sizes ... plus I can still do the Colossal Guy badges from last year ... or the Kaiju badges from BLFC if anyone wants them.

Plus, for this con, I'll have a few slots for baseball themed badges ... a baseball card style. Check 'em out. :)

I'll also be doing con sketches as usual and have more of the Positive Kaiju Tshirts available at my table ... If you want to preorder a badge, tho, please do it as quickly as you can, as time is short! :)

SLOTS FULL!!! THANK YOU!!!!

Hey guys! Good news, we have enough pre-orders to justify a second print run of the POSITIVE KAIJU T-shirts! If you already ordered one from this wave, I'll be sending out invoices in the next day or two. They'll be ready to pick up at Anthrocon, or if you requested mail-order, I'll ship them out immediately after I get back from Anthrocon in early July.

This will probably be the final run of this shirt for a good long while, so if you want to GUARANTEE getting one either at Anthrocon or by mail-order, please order today or tomorrow before I put our final numbers into the printer! ESPECIALLY if you want a 4XL or 5XL T-shirt, as those are special-order and won't be available to purchase later!

Thanks everyone for your support! :)

If you want one of the Positive Kaiju shirts in either size 4XL or 5XL ... PLEASE make sure you place your order TODAY (Friday!)

They're a special-order item so they can only be pre-ordered ... I won't have any extras to sell!

And since this may be the final print run for these shirts, this could be your last chance!

(And of course, if you want any size M-3XL, now's a good time to place a pre-order for Anthrocon or for mail-order as well. :) )

I know time is running short but I'm taking a few slots for BLFC badges! Order ASAP to make sure you get a slot; you'll be able to pick up and pay for any badges at my table in the dealer's room.

In addition to the usual Standard, Premium, Big Guy, and Colossal Guy badges, I'll also be taking some themed oversized KAIJU BADGES: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/23618836/

Don't delay, sign up today! And I'll see y'all there! :)

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/23389642/

I'm working with the printer to get these done in time for BLFC (and will be mail-ordering as well), so if you want to guarantee a shirt in your size, ESPECIALLY with these larger sizes, please get a pre-order in as soon as possible! I'll print as many extras as I can but shirt and size quantities will be limited.

 shisa and I came up with a concept for a "Positive Kaiju" tshirt, and I did the illustration ... and we're printing Tshirts in time for BLFC!

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/23389642/

I'll bring as many extra to the con as I can, but If you want to guarantee getting one in your size (or if you aren't attending but want one shipped to you!) please place and order ASAP at http://store.johntoons.com/positivekaiju/ ... I'll send payment invoices in the next few days, and you'll have a shirt held for you. :)

(Also ... I'll be announcing BLFC and AC badge preorders in the next couple days, so keep an eye out!)

Christmas is past, New Years is around the corner ... which means it's time to pre-order a badge for FC2017 if you want one! The sooner, the better! :)

I have my usual selection of Standard, Premium, Big Guy, and even Colossal Guy badges available; follow the link below for full details and order form.

The theme for the con is "Going Places"; I'm not going to make a specific theme badge, BUT if you have any ideas that will fit into a Premium Badge (4x6") template, please describe your idea in your order form and I'll see what I can do. :) (For example, something like this: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/22108898/ ...)

I've got a book coming out at MFF this year! The first book I've published in a long while now, this is 100 pages of artwork ... mostly blueline pencil sketches I've done for people at conventions or as commissions over the past decade or so, plus a selection of color badge and digital sketch art, and some running commentary by myself.

Here's the cover art: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/21841838/

This was fun to put together. It will be available either at my table or at the Furplanet table at Midwest this weekend; and if you buy it either place, I'll be happy to sign it for you! (Note: I will be in the small Charles de Gualle adjunct room if you're looking for me.) You can also pre-order it from FurPlanet here: https://furplanet.com/shop/item.aspx?itemid=890

Note: The book is marked for "mature readers." There's not really outright porn in it, but there are a few racy sketches here and there!!!

With Thanksgiving coming up, I'll need to get badges started a bit earlier than usual ... so if you're looking to pick up a badge at MFF this year, now would be a great time to place your pre-order to make sure it gets done on time! The theme this year is "Winter," so while I'm not making a specific themed badge, feel free to request wintery images if you want.

And after MFF is Christmas, so if you're planning on getting an FC badge, it wouldn't be too early to place your order for that, either. :) Similarly, I probably won't have a specific "Going Places" badge, but if you want something travel-themed, go ahead and request it!

Hey folks! I've mentioned this in the past, but this time it's pretty important!

If I'd drawn a blue pencil sketch for you at a convention or anything, and have the means to scan and send it to me, I'd really appreciate it! I'm working on putting together a little collection sorta project, and I know there are some sketches floating around out there I'd love to have in my archive to draw upon.

If you can scan at at least 300dpi, that would be great. And don't worry too much about trying to clean up or adjust the scan, I can take care of that on my end!

BONUS TIP: Sketchbook or Bristol board too big for your scanner? No problem! Just turn the sketch on its side and scan 2/3 of it, top or left side. Then rotate the page 180 degrees and scan the opposite 2/3, bottom or right side. Send me both files and I can digitally stitch them together! :)

Thanks folks, I really appreciate me! You can PM me here or DM me on Twitter (@coonerArt) if you have a download link, or if you need an email address to send it to. <3

Phew! Sorry for being quiet here for a bit ... got thru BLFC and then Anthrocon, and then took a rare vacation down to Disneyland for a few days this past weekend, so things have been busy. :) I'll be catching up on some work here now that my calendar is relatively clear for a few months, and hopefully unveiling a few new things soon. :)

Meantime, I've got a TON of badges and even some commissions I haven't gotten around to posting yet ... I should really get to them, so bear with me if there are a few floods of submissions over the next few weeks. Hopefully get everything posted and then I can just post new stuff as it comes along. :)

Everyone who's still here, thanks for watching and have a terrific summer! :)

Hey folks! AC is coming up at the end of the month ... so now would be a great time to order a badge! Remember, I ONLY do color badges as pre-orders to be picked up at the con, not at the con itself. I've already got a few slots filled, so if you want to make sure it's ready in time for the con, please order soon!

In addition to the usual Standard ($25), Premium ($40), and Big Guy ($50) badges, I've got TWO specialty badges you can order this time around! First, a Roaring 20s badge to fit the theme of the con, with your character in period clothes and an Art Deco era background to match (Sample here: https://twitter.com/coonerArt/statu.....04432087027712 ) for $40.

Also: If a Big Guy badge isn't big enough? How about a COLOSSAL GUY badge ... up to 8.5x11" in size, it comes with TWO badge clips to support that weight! (Sample here: https://twitter.com/coonerArt/statu.....04649104515072 ) These are hand-cut, very large, and $75 each.

Again, slots and time before the con fill up fast, so get your pre-order in as soon as you can! Details and order form link here:

... I've got a ton of you in the last couple days! How many are backed up from after BLFC, or how many are new accounts created because you got locked out of your old ones, I don't know, but welcome. :)

For the record, I'm not going anywhere for now. I personally can't get too amped up about FA drama; yeah, I wish the site were run better, but as a result I use it pretty much just as a gallery; I don't submit personal info via notes, I conduct any commission or other business over my trusted email, etc etc. I'm pretty much here for you guys; as long as there's a good number of people watching me here, I'll keep posting!

That said, there are plenty of other ways you can find me if you ever need to get in touch with me. For starters, there's my personal web site, http://cooner.johntoons.com ... a good hub with links to everywhere else, up-to-date information, and a contact form to reach me by email. I'm also pretty active on Twitter, coonerArt for art and convention updates and WTFcooner for personal goofball stuff.

I also have accounts set up on Weasyl ( https://www.weasyl.com/profile/cooner ) and FurryNetwork ( https://beta.furrynetwork.com/cooner/ ) ... I just haven't had time to do much uploading to them yet. XD If you're active on or moving to either of those sites, feel free to follow me there as well; as the winds shift I'll shift my activity appropriately! :)

Thanks everyone, and don't sweat the small stuff in life. :) Anthrocon is just a few weeks away, hopefully see some of you there!

Hey guys! It's time to get in your pre-orders for badges for BLFC! Order them now, I'll send you a rough sketch for approval, and you can pick up and pay for the final badge starting Friday of the con at my dealer's table.

To fit the con's theme, I'm offering Faction Badges! Choose your faction: militant Crushpuppies, artistic Project Greenlight, or zealous S.N.U.G. (Read the full BLFC style guide here: http://www.goblfc.org/2016_style_guide.pdf ) Badges will use the official color palette and font for each faction, and each printed badge will be touched up with a bit of neon green paint. :)

Samples:
Crushpuppies: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/19824889/
Project Greenlight: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/19824909/
S.N.U.G.: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/19824929/

Of course you can also order a regular ol' Standard, Premium, or Big Guy badge if you want, as well. And if you're not attending the con you can choose the Mail Order option to be shipped to you after the con. (Additional postage applies.)

All badge information and link to the order form can be found here:

Hey gang! This was kind of cool, recently I was invited to be a guest on  mickeybamboo's furry podcast, Panda Pause! And the episode's just been released this weekend. :)

We talked for a good long while about a lot of stuff, including my memories of the early days of furry fandom and watching it grow and change over the past two decades; my work in the animation industry; some of my thoughts on artwork; and plenty of other stuff. The episode can be found via this journal post: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/19364341/

Or you can listen to it on Tumblr:
http://mickeybamboo.tumblr.com/post.....e-ep-43-cooner

Or directly on SoundCloud here:
https://soundcloud.com/mickey-bambo.....se-ep-4-cooner

And you can follow Mickey Bamboo on Twitter here:

Please feel free to give it a listen and let me know what you think! Thanks everyone! ^.^

Hey guys! Back from FC, this week's been taken up with recovering from the con, reinstalling my computer system on a new SSD drive, and getting over a touch of the crud, so you'll please bear with me if I've been a bit slow. :)

If you missed it, though, I was on a podcast released yesterday! On  mickeybamboo's show "Panda Pause," he did a roundtable discussion with three former and current animation industry furries, myself,  captaingerbear and  shenanigan! We talked about various aspects of the animation industry then and now, stuff we like and don't like, and how the animation and furry worlds intersect. Shen's always a treat to talk to and it was cool finally getting to chat with Ger as well.

If you want to give it a listen, you can find an opening snippet of it here:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/18859229/

You can also find the full hour and a half audio on Soundcloud:
https://soundcloud.com/mickey-bambo.....p-29-animation

You'll also find all the various links and info for Panda Pause on those pages. :)

(I also did a full episode with MickeyBamboo by myself! That episode should be released sometime soon, watch for it!)

Hey guys! I'm just packing up and doing final errands before heading over to the FC hotel for this year's extravaganza! I'll be at table #62 with  k-9 all weekend. Dealer room hours are Fri-Sat-Sun, 11am to 6pm.

If you pre-ordered a badge, swing on by and pick it up!

If you want to get a commission sketch, stop by and get one! Tho please try to do so earlier in the weekend if possible before my queue fills up. :)

Or if you just want to stop and say hello, please do so! Always happy to meet friends and fans, that's why I'm there too. :)

Hope everyone has a great weekend, and see you there!!

Hey guys! FC is coming up next week, so I have time to take a few badge pre-orders.

Been super busy since MFF, having to get some last-minute freelance work done before my holiday trip to visit friends near Seattle this week. So things have been a bit quiet here.

But we shall see what the new year holds, with Further Confusion coming up and so much beyond!

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy New Year, and best wishes for whatever you celebrate!

Hey guys! Midwest Furfest is coming up, which means now would be a GREAT TIME TO PLACE YOUR BADGE PRE-ORDERS BEFORE THE CON! :)

The con's theme this year is simply "community," so I'll mostly just be doing the usual standard, premium, or big-guy size badges; of course if there's something special you have in mind to fit within those badge sizes feel free to ask me or to describe your idea when you submit your badge order. :)

Also, since there's no particular theme, I've decided to EXTEND AVAILABILITY of the Rainfurrest SWORD & SORCERY style badges thru this con! You can order one for pick-up at MFF; or if you won't be attending and want to mail-order one, you can do that as well. I'll try to have any mail-order badges done and shipped by the end of the year. :)

For all badge prices and information see this page:
http://cooner.johntoons.com/badge/ ...

Whoah, has it been that long since Anthrocon already?

I've been super busy with my head down on a series of really tight freelance deadlines since the con. I'm wrapping up the last chunk of it (hopefully) now, and later this week I'll be getting back to some commissions some folks have been patiently waiting for, and some other projects that need attending.

Rainfurrest is coming up in about a month, and I'll be there! Stay tuned. Also, I should be at Midwest Furfest towards the end of the year.

Anthrocon is coming up fast, so now's the time to pre-order a badge! I'll be doing the usual array of laminated standard, premium, and big-guy badges, plus just for Anthrocon's theme, a special series of Viking badges! (Samples: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16859800/ )

Fill out the form available at the URL below, and I'll add your name to the list below to verify it's been received. Badges can be picked up and paid for at my dealer's table at the con, using cash or credit/debit cards.

Here's the URL! See you at the con!

Hey guys!

I'll be at Elliott's Spring Gathering in Orlando this May 8-10: https://elliottsliveevents.org/ELE-2015

And then I'll be at Biggest Little Fur Con in Reno this May 14-17: http://www.biggestlittlefurcon.org

If you'll be at either event, please find me and say hello! (I'll be mostly in the Artist area at ESG, and I'll be in the Dealer's Den with  gideon at table #13 at BLFC.)

And if you'd like a badge to pick up at either event, now is the time to pre-order one! With moving and unpacking I didn't have time to come up with a themed badge, but if you have something in mind don't be afraid to explain your idea when ordering the badge! Pre-orders can be made with this form: http://cooner.johntoons.com/badge/preorder/

Both cons are coming up fast so please place your orders within the next few days to guarantee I'll have time to get them done! Thanks again and see folks there. :)
