gotten this from  mrrabbit

no offense, but ... There are some people who are getting too fake on FA. They only want posts, comments, or to see how many friends they can get. So let's see who will actually re-post this. This is a test to see who's paying attention. This is a test to see how many people in my friends list actually pay attention to me. Copy and re-post in your own bulletin. Lets see who the true friends are and I think I know who you are... Re-post this if you are a friend...Don't reply... just copy and paste this in a new bulletin as "Fake Friends'True friends will read and repost this. Fake friends will just ignore it

Oh I have been paying attention folks even though I don't say much.

I jut want to set the record straight so bear with me folks.

Faving! When I fave a picture it is not blind Faving, I do it for a number of reasons. I fave because I like the art, I like the artist, I see something it it that appeals to me. I may fave an incomplete piece or a roughdraft because I can see what direction the artist is going and I would like to see it to the end, if it does not get finished, then I would fave for the effort.

Keep in mind, I do not claim to be some high mucky muck artist with degrees running out my butt, I like what I see. If some folks notice that I do not fave certain Popular artists they should not get the wrong idea, The big names are good some even greater so they really don't need me jumping on their bandwagon of popularity, there are plenty of folks who can do that just fine.

For the unknown artist, the less popular folks, and those who are just getting their feet wet, if you do notice that I fave you, it is not really a big deal, I'm jut an artist just like anyone else but you did do something that caught my eye and I would like to see that nurtured so don't worry I'm on your side so I will fave.

For the posers out there who figure it is worth a chuckle or two to either swipe somebody else's art, post it as your own to get folks like me to fave and boost your popularity level, be warned, if I do find out, I will unfave in a heart beat. You may not thing it is nothing, but given the amount of folks on FA, bad faves lead to chatter which may in turn end in enough folks complaining enough for a outright ban... Keep in mind I do not know FA's policy about that and unless you may be one of those sick folks who get their jollies from stuff like that, keep in mind I will not fuel it for you.

I guess it boils down to that I fave for the love of art. New artists, More love to ya, ultra popular artist, don't take offense I still like your art.

Enough said, Cheers.

Simple, after the gifts and the vows of affection have been exchanged, somebody starts an argument the day after. And so it goes since I suspect the beginning of time. I guess I had it coming to me anyway, what is happiness without strife, the choice of suffering alone or suffering at the hands of somebody. Yep, this is my take on Valentine's day for what it is worth. Blarg!

Wow!!! Several days of viewing, typing, clicking, I'm surprised my brain did not go AWOL.

Caught up on viewing submissions and I gotta say, I missed alot, you folks have been quite busy.
Still sad that I missed the ones that got removed, but you can't have everything.

As for me, Inking progress on the next pic and sitting on my hands trying to think up my next Wreck of Art. Cheers all, keep those submissions coming.

No, This is not a filk of the popular Paul Anka song, "Breaking up is hard to do." but who knows, I might just do that one day.

anyway, down to it. I'm catching up on a few things on FA that piled up in my absence, such as reading journals, faving submissions, and general commenting. Be patient whit me folks, there is a lot of stuff to go through and frankly I'm just too lazy to nuke them all. I've gone through the journals and I only now have two to read. 17 comment, 2 faves, and .... 2220 submissions!!!

Wow! and all the while I'm working on the Chinese Nude Deer pic... Ooops, I let the tiger out of the bag. Don't worry, I'm doing flat color now and soon it will be finished, perhaps my first submission in 2010.

Keep watching the skies folks. Cheers.

After a few false starts, I guess I am ready to return to my artistic duties.
I can't use the holidays as an excuse anymore nor bad weather, however I can leave the option open for alien abduction I don't think I've tried that excuse yet.

Aside from a few incidents n my life, I am somewhat ready to go. I got two, count them two pics in the works even though on one of them I will be late for Chinese New Year. I got a buttload of submissions to go through as well as journals so the art will be trickling out.

My regrets for those who may have left FA while I was off in Lala land and greetings to those who joined, may you forgive me if you go through my gallery.

So with little to no delay, let the artwork flow again!

Cheers.

Oh my, has it been that long since I've even rumbled???
By all means, my lack of actvity does not mean I am dead or something like that. It is just that life decided to handcuff me to the bed, stuff a ball gag into my mouth, and proceeded to rape my soul with a promise of a good time.

Well, I managed to get free just long enough to observe the mini-mushroom cloud that was FA's former home rise and the mad dash for emergency relief. My absense from FA have made me stale and saddly out of practice. I missed Thanksgiving, and now it looks like I am going to miss Christmas as well. I so wanted to do another installation of Holiday Pillow chat, this one would have had the revenge of the Easter Does. I wanted to continue the story of  usersip Sip's Lara Bunn's Adventure. So much more to do but it never got done. Between supergluing my life back together, Holiday shopping and such, I only managed to start two projects which I might try and finish before I'm totally gone and forgotten on FA.

You see folks, This is why I don't strive to be a Great Artist, if I was, those folks who have commissioned me to do stuff would be angry mob with pitchfork city!

Anyway, thought I would check in, let you folks know that the chow is still around. Now it is time to pour me a glass of cold eggnog, shake the cobwebs out of my head and set up the reindeer doe traps, maybe this year I might get lucky.

Cheers folks.

Filched this from  Rakaziel thought it would be somewhat fun.

Keep in mind, in my state of mind this may seem harsh but it is how I'm feeling at the moment.

~How often do you get writer’s block?
The real question is when do I not have a writer's block. but to answer the question straight, more frequent than ever.

~How do you fix it?
By getting off my duff and doing something, anything even if it is nonsense, I'll sort it out later.

~Do you type or write by hand?
I used to write by hand but with so many pages, and mistakes I do it by computer these days.

~Do you save everything you write?
most everything that is worth saving, other stuff gets trashed.

~Do you ever go back to an old idea long after you abandoned it?
Yep, the sad part is that once it is written and read, I would abandon it again.

~Do you have a constructive critic?
Too few, and not enough, these days I take whatever criticism I can get, even it is destructive.

~Did you ever write a novel?
Two so far, but never to see the light of day.

~What genre would you love to write but haven’t?
Real love stories without the quickly falling in love and such.

~What’s one genre you have never written, and probably never will?
My bio!

~How many writing projects are you working on right now?
At least one but it is going quite slowly.

~Do you write for a living? Do you want to?
No I do not write for a living and from what I have seen from the genre, I will never write for a living. I'm
too jaded from what I have seen to believe I can live on writing.

~Have you ever written something for a magazine or newspaper?
Yes, high school newspaper but only a one shot.

~Have you ever won an award for your writing?
If an award for failed writer was given, I would win hands down but since I have not even gotten that, I guess the answer is no.

~What are your five favorite words?
However, Fleeting, Frankly, Moving, Deceiving.

~Do you ever write based on your dreams?
Yep, a vast majority of my short stories were dreams at one time.

~Do you favor happy endings, sad endings, or cliff-hangers?
Happy endings, but with a twist.

~Have you ever written based on an artwork you’ve seen?
Sometimes it works both ways, drawn based on a story I wrote and written based on a picture I've drawn.

So there you have it folks, deep from the mind of the chow, be afraid, be very afraid.

I know I have promised to return with new art but things have gotten me in a bind. Between cleaning up a mess of a room for my GF, installing her air conditioner, and playing taxi, as well as rebuilding a few laptops, I hardly had enough time to pick up pencil and apply to paper. So many ideas, and to boot, September is upon me and usually about this time my body slows down to a crawl, mental functions slows to the point where I can actually count each neuron firing, all in all, I feel like Blah!

Well, today I will cut down on the ebay searches and pull out the sketchpad, scribble or doodle, I will get something done. At this point I have nothing better to do to keep happy aside from fleeting fantasies and even those are getting a bit old and stale.
I swear I must be half bear cause I feel the need to hibernate right now.

zzzzzzzz.

Well, September is almost here and with it, the resumption of activities for this chow. I've went to the NY state fair, gotten my fill of goodies, viewed the various animals such as bunnies, horses, cows, sheep, llamas, and people. I have one laptop completely rebuilt and is waiting for parts to piece together the second one. I've managed to survive yet another mental assault from my GF.

So now it is time for me to pick up where I left off before I took my break. Sad to say I have ideas but not enough reasons yet to follow them through, although I can give you all a little hint, my next project involves bunnies, does in fact, and all of them have a few things in common, they can be found on FA and they all have one feature that is common among them. I still have the memorial picture to finish as well as getting started on republishing some stories.

Lara Bunn fans: I figured it is time for me to get off my butt and continue with Lara's Journey providing  sip will continue to approve of it. The art will come in spurts but don't worry, it seems to be my standard mode of operation.

Lastly I sigh and raise a glass to those who have left while I was on my break. I wished there was something that could have been done to change their minds to stay but I've learned over the years on FA that some folks are fleeting like the wind, they change their minds while other stick to their guns and actually leave. This is to let them know that I still have a fondness for their art and wish them the best.

Well, cheers folks, I gotta get caught up, with faves, comments, art, and just being an old silly chow. TTFN.

we interrupt the usually stuff for an unimportant announcement:

I've taken a break from art, a short one to try and recharge myself. Been battling personal demons and I need a break to reload and rearm. A lot of things passed through my mind while jumping through the hoops of RL and even though my finances are finally a bit stable, I'm still working a second job and hardly have enough time for much in the way of art. Besides that, the State Fair is coming up, got my tickets ordered and testing my camera so I can get snaps of all the pretty bunnies in the rabbit exhibits, as well as leering at the sheep and llamas. Of course my customary purchase of a State Fair Tee shirt, been buying them since 1993, as well as getting my pizza fritts, a basket of steamed clams and shopping for babbles.

Also I have been spending time trying to bring back to life a few dead laptops, a magellan GPS unit I got off of ebay for cheap. All in all, I'm trying to keep myself busy so I won't worry about some things that happened in the past few weeks, some of them on FA.

Between one friend giving me a overdose scare, others who are deciding to dump FA for greener pastures, and the worry about producing too much erotic art to be pegged as some kind of freak, the stress levels have been rising. Add to that a malfunctioning air conditioner, a gf who is worried that her pets will die of heat stroke without it, fixing said aircon only to put the wrong screw in one spot causing a freon line to rupture, tossing said aircon away, stressing about where and how to get a new one, moving the pets downstairs to be within the central aircon, cleaning cages in 90 degree indoor heat, running everywhere to find litter, the list goes on and on!

I have had thoughts of just reducing my role here at FA to just being a watcher. Oh, I will still fave and comment, but the art may not flow as much as before even though I have plenty of art to post, as well as stories. For my new watchers, I am sorry to let you down, I just got to get things sorted out. To my usual band of merry makers, don't worry, perhaps some reruns, maybe some doodles, but I am not totally out of the game yet. Cheers.

The same meme, by two different people, how lucky can I get?
This will be a bit different. I will do the meme, but I will not
tag anyone. My current wave of depression is preventing me
from doing the whole thing but I will post 8 true things about
myself, and trust me, in my current state, the truth hurts.

1) Post these rules
2) Post 8 true things about yourself
3) At the end you must tag 4 people and post their icons (will not be done)
4) Go to their page and send them a message saying you tagged them (will not be done)
5) NO TAG-BACKS

1) Sometimes I worry too much over the smallest of things.
2) I feel insecure when I am in a place with a lot of people.
3) I have burst into spontaneous tears for no reason at times.
4) I still watch cartoons, but only to analyze animation techniques.
5) Sometimes I wonder what it would have been like if I was born a woman.
6) I once wandered into the home of a stranger by mistake. The person was quite understanding and noticed my confusion and helped me home.
7) I have hunted only once in my life. I shot a grouse and later that evening felt extreme guilt over taking a life.
8) I feel lonely and unloved.

Ok, there it is, brutal honesty. I know that one of the purposes of a meme is to lay one's soul open and hope that the scrutiny alone is enough to ease the pain, but I doubt there is any help for me. Cheers.

Come on in folks, get your tickets now for the 2009 hell in a handbasket tour!
four mighty bands, several heavy songs, tons upon tons of hate, doubt and angst!

Ok, kidding aside, no my life is not going to hell in a handbasket but it sure feels like it. I do not know if I can describe this as an artist block, it sure don't feel like it. I had the sudden urge to nix any more attempts at drawing erotica and porn. I would not call it peer pressure, not that many people complained, maybe negative peer pressure coupled with reverse psychology, either way I feel that the magic has gone.

I really hate to put a wet blanket on this, maybe this is what it is like when one gets older and their sex drive has blew an engine and the next stop, the junkyard.
I am slowly feeling that what is the sense in drawing erotica since I have none in real life. I guess they were right, living is for the young so it seems like time for me to order up some geritol and the ben gay.

Maybe another thing that is bothering me is that there are few female furs in the genre my age, at least to talk to or know, it seems like a curse of the genre that makes folks drop the whole genre at a certain age. Oh well, I guess I am done ranting, it seems I can't even get a good rant going without petering out sooner than expected.

*Sigh!*

Why am I so stressed artwise? I have been deep in thought lately, my last two submissions invoking rule 34 and 63, oh so much porn lately that I have slowly began to questions my motives and reasons for art. True, I'm having more fun now that I would dare have as a kid, I guess that is one of the rewards of growing old, but some thoughts have slowly crept into my mind...

A few folks, some watchers who are fellow artists have questioned their place in the genre and with erotica and porn getting more attention then general pieces. A few folks leaving in frustration over not getting enough hang time. (No I am not naming any names because I have high respect for them.) At least one innocent was confused over the method and madness of my art and I guess you can say that is what sparked this doubt within me.

First off in foremost, sure I can get weird at times, but I figured that the life I led before warranted me to at least let loose now and then. (14 years in the military, strict protocol and such, not a fun time at times.) A skewed childhood, (Not to be mistaken for the one Wacko Jacko had, I'm not famous, I don't sing or dance, and if I had a chimp, he sure would not be named Bubbles, more like Master Blaster.) So many things too numerous to mention, but I guess the bottom line is that I get this slightly horrible feeling that I'm freaking folks out.

My thought processes, such as they are sometimes tend to point me into strange directions, to think some thoughts that what I assume normal folks won't even touch. I feel I owe it to at least some of my watchers and viewers of my art to throttle back on the weird for a little while, to cut back a little on the erotica and porn, just a touch, and take up the task of doing slight improvements of my art, to at least make it more suitable for public consumption. Is this a sign of me selling out to the naysayers who decry that porn, erotica, and general weirdness is drowning the genre? Heck no! I don't think so, that would put me inline with those cookie cutter artist who conform with the norm. I need a little spice in my life, at least to compensate for the lack of a good relationship with people in general.

So I will still act the clown, but not too much, I don't want to scare away folks here.
Look, I know there are some who are more than mature enough to view my art yet hold a air of innocence, I don't want to ruin that for them. Don't worry, more stuff coming, I just got to reevaluate things. Cheers.

Ya know, I should be working on art rather than telling you all about my silly dreams, but what can you do? Anywho, this one was a real doozie.

I found myself living in a run down two tenant building where the top floor is occupied by homeless children. I find myself having a pet skunk, real tame, came when I called and enjoyed canned cat food. I come home to find the kids taunting my skunk and I yell at them to stop or she will spray you. Well, I warned them, one kid grabbed my skunk's tail and she let loose. Now mind you I have seen skunks spray before but this one was quite different! It came out in globs, engulfing the kids, filling their apartment and dribbling down the stairs. The kids screamed, almost like a horror scene or a scene from a horrific car accident, but all I did was laugh. My skunk looked up, shook her tail and hopped off the porch into the bushes, before leaving she looks at me and said, "I warned them, you pull the tail, you get the stink!" again I laughed and walked out to the street, hooked up a fire hose to the hydrant outside and proceeded to spray down the upstairs apartment, kids and all. I found a chair on the porch that was dry and sat down. Oddly enough, after the fire hose, it smelled clean. With the kids still crying and complaining about being wet and smelling skunked, my skunk came back, climbed into my lap and curled up to sleep. I rocked in the chair and sang to her.

Ok, so what is with these odd dreams lately where the non-anthro animals talk?

... Ours is not to question why, ours is but to dream and do a wtf later.

Sometimes I wonder about my sanity when I have really crazy dreams, like the one
I'm about to tell you all so bear with me.

For some odd reason I find myself at a petshop, just looking not knowing why I am there and what I wanted to buy. The whole place is noisy with voices yet I seem to be the only one there. As I walk along the cages I look in. I see the usual, mice, gerbils, guinea pigs, ferrets and rabbits. The wtf moment happens when I notice that mostly all of the critters are wearing things on their heads. Mice with head covers with their ears poking out, gerbils with head covers too but their eyes are covered with opaque film and in place of their eyes were googley eyes. A few hamsters had no eye holes but a big jewel there, I assumed they could see. The ferrets had head dresses on like those showgirls in vegas. At first it seems like a laughable scene, watching the mice running around and then stop to shake their heads to have those googley eyes whirl around. The ferrets stood on their hind legs and tried hard to do kicks. All of a sudden there was a moment of clarity as I heard the voices and realized it was from the animals themselves. Mostly all of them were complaining about wearing the gear some saying it was bullshit, while others were plotting to do harm to the petshop owner.

They all stopped to look at me at first and then they all turned their collective heads to one cage where a rabbit sat, with nothing on, just a plain rabbit. I asked the rabbit why she was not wearing the same get-up as the others and she answered "Open the cage and pick me up." I did what she asked and asked the question again. This time she replied. "Because I pee alot!" and she proceeded to pee all over my shirt sporting a smile on her muzzle. (Thanks alot  Dorin) It was the laughter that ensued from all of the other animals that made me realized that I got Punk'ed by an entire petshop. The rabbit looked up at me and said. "I'm real sorry about that Don but the bosses said it had to be done." At that point I woke up.

I don't know what it meant but I guess the moral of the dream was, "If you go to the freak petshop, don't pick up the bunny."

Did you ever happen to have one of those things where you hear a piece of music, so profound, so powerful enough to move your very heart and emotions that it compels you to draw, yet nothing comes out? Well, I'm having that moment right now.

Just the other day, dog tired from running here, running there, I happen to hop over to the anime network and caught the last episode of UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie. Aside from the mild pedofilish overtones, it was to say good. It was the ending song that sold me. "All in All" by Melocure. I found the YouTube of it and now have the audio and the video in my Zune. So many ideas are running through my head to draw something while playing this music, but for sure I will not try a furry version of Valkyrie, I will leave that to the experts. Anyway, one last page left in the old sketchbook before I break out the new one, but what to draw???

From the reactions I received thus far, I have a feeling I better get off my butt and crank out some new art before I have a rebellion on my paws. That plus the fact that Mr. Peabody needs the wayback machine back to escape the temporal police for tampering with various time lines.

Also the fact that I am afraid that if I go further back in time with my art, the horror and disgust will be so great, it will rip a hole in the fabric of space-time, cause mighty rivers to flow in reverse, and cause dogs and cats to live together in sin. (my favorite line???)

So cheer up folks, I got the tablet hooked up, and I got two pieces of new art needing to be finished before I start drawing new stuff. Thanks for your patience and most of all, thanks for not forming a lynch mob just yet. Cheers.

Since I joined FA, since I vented my spleen to the world about my trials and tribulations, since I did a mix of new art and old art to show folks where I have been and where I seem to be going, (Some speculate I'm heading to hell in a very large handbasket.) since I posted stories, since I worried about losing friends, since I worried about gaining friends I am not worthy of, since I have confessed to the world that I have a bunny obsession, since I have seen folks come and go, some rather hardly, since I took my art to a new direction, since I made a u-turn with said art and headed back down the road of ruin, since I thrilled the world with my take on Rule 34, since I shocked some of the world with some of my Rule 34 work, since my own personal demons ran amuk on FA, since I had a really good original idea, since I broke down and had a real good cry, since I had a real good side splitting laugh that was not at my expense.

I can go on and on with sinces until the cows come home, but putting aside the good and the bad, I am still happy I have been here long enough to make folks fave lists and make some folk's crap list. What do I have to look forward to the next two years?
More sinces I guess. Cheers.

Yea, I know I should not let things bother me, but some things still do.
Between working on my brother's van, bad timing which without a shop I can't fix,
running errands, second job, financial woes, I hardly had enough time to even
post reruns like I promised, as well as finish up on new art I have started.

I've given up on trying to straighten out the train wreck that is my relationship with my GF. She wanted control, I'm giving it to her, I'm through fighting.

I'm cutting back on art production, meaning I won't be producing new art for awhile.
I've come to a crossroads where to go further would mean trying to learn new tricks, and frankly, this dog has gotten a bit too old to learn new tricks. I won't be shooting to be the best, just shooting to be period.

I'm at a indecision on wanting to make new friends. My old friends dumped me for a reason only they know so I figured if I have not gotten a clue yet, then it is time to become that grumpy old man who yell at the kids on his lawn.

I will be posting another rerun as well as finishing up on one picture so I am not just out of the picture just yet. I don't know, having some alone time might help, or might just hurt more, my apologizes if I am coming off as sounding anti-social. Cheers, I think.

No silly, not reruns on TV, but rather the posting of ancient art until I can get my groove back.
Hey, I gotta at least keep folks interested or else I'm going to vanish into just a memory.
I got works lined up to finish, just been too busy to get to it so bear with me folks, it may
not be the caliber of art that I've been producing lately, but it would give you folks a
glimpse into the strange mind of the chow.

Enjoy and thank your lucky stars that it not old reruns of "The Land of the Lost!"

No, I ain't Neo, and I ain't the one, well, maybe I'm the 1423316th but anyway, over
the weekend I managed to get a new sketchbook. Got it at Michaels for almost a steal, well, it was 40% off, and weighing in at $11.99, I got it for about $7.99. It's a Strathmore (sp?) with plenty of pages to cause major damage to the genre. I have not deflowered it yet, I still have 4 pages left in the old sketchbook and I'm more or less fishing for ideas to finish up that book so I can retire it.

When I retire a book, I usually don't go back to it unless I either need references, or if there is something in there I have not finished that needs attention. I can say that with my old sketchbook, you folks have just about seen everything drawn in it, well, maybe a few squiggly lines I have not bothered to post. Also with the new book comes the decision to use it for both clean and erotic art, I mean, I don't have to hide it from prying eyes anymore, at least until I settle down and get married or something, which I highly doubt that will ever happen. I also decided to use up my current stock of pencils before I rush out to buy new ones so the line art and roughdrafts may differ depending on which pencil I use up.

Expect more art, but rather slowly at first, RL things have gotten me in a bind for time.
Cheers folks.

I better make them count. Yep, I'm down to 3 blank pages in my sketchbook and now it is time to ask the hard question, when I buy a new sketchbook, what shall I get?
In the past I have always gone towards the cheap, getting something that did not have to require me to sell off parts of my soul and my spleen. Wallyworld has a nice one, black book like for about $10 while their other ones were cheap alright, glued spines with little to no support, heck, bending them open the wrong way and paper flies out.

My confidence in the graphics pad has dropped a little but in a sense that is a good thing cause practicing on paper medium means possible improvement. I'm also trying to ween myself off of using 2B pencils and trying other pencils. My current weapon of choice is a straight B pencil, the lines are a bit darker, although not at all sharp, but it makes for easy erasure. When payday rolls around again, if I don't have to scrounge up cans or pillage the piggy bank, I will check out Michaels or somewhere else for a cheap sketch book and then of course I have to decide how to deflower this virgin book, porn on the first page, or something more tame. I had thoughts of going with a separate sketchbook again for the hard candy, I went that route before because at the time I was living with my brother and his wife and as all ladies go, they tend to get nosy. If push comes to shove, I do have some incomplete stuff in the old sketchbook I might erase to use the space, and I still have loose sheets of vellum that I use at the drawing desk for keeper works. Cheers.

No it is not a typo, it's a question. Since I am reposting stories again a question has crossed my slightly unstable mind. What format to post again? My last two story posts were in .txt format which is fine for short stuff that is less than 200kb, but what happens when I start posting text bigger than that? I could continue to use .Doc and .Rtf but past lessons taught me that most folks won't bother reading a story if it is in those formats. I'm trying to make it easy for folks to read and enjoy what I have written but not at the expense of shutting out folks who can't read .Rtf and .Doc formats. It would be nice if FA would include .html format, I have pages ready to post.

Oh well, let me know what you folks think, er those who read my stories that is. Cheers.

Plus this journal post is to push down that mess I called my last journal post.
