There's no reason to include it in my gallery, but let it be known that I'm responsible for this scene by  Canid-Kaiba involving Legoshi and Louis: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/52320874/

(Louis gave Legoshi permission to eat his foot to gain strength against Riz, while getting rid of the shameful child-slave tattoo under his sole in the process. It seems that Legoshi got some of the instructions wrong)

Why don't we see more adult drawings of dogs assaulting postmen?

Happy new year to all !
I was at the « Masculin / Masculin » exhibit at the Musée d'Orsay yesterday, which ends next week. Some of my favourite pieces (pictures from the web – photographing was forbidden):

R.wan's "Peau rouge", illustrated with a rhino photomorph.
The genre has been dubbed "rap musette": french rock bridging together retro and hip hop.
The lyrics are kinda anarchist but mitigated by a strange and intimate tone.
I've been listening to it all the time for days!

Two clips from the album:

Yesterday I had weird dreams (probably an effect of drinking much beer while playing Magic) and I made the too-rare experience of waking up laughing, with a good-hearted and pure sense of amusement, because my dream was like telling myself a joke I didn't know. Here's what I dreamt:

Guy A and guy B are chatting, and guy A has a dog, a german shepherd. Guy A proposes a divination/interpretation experiment: the dog will lick guy B, and, depending on where the dog licked him, guy A will tell him something about himself. Guy B agrees, and the dog licks his fingers. Guy A says: "it means you touched your cock".

That's it, I woke up laughing... I hope you can share some of the amusement x-D

And that would be... me

I got the missing paper from my uni at last

You're the first to know

Now I can perform tests and CBT on you

How comes I never heard of this show on FA? It's got plenty of talking animals and homoerotic humor, I got myself the first 2 seasons and I love it

And here comes "Greece's front-line riot dog" omg so cute, a dog fighting for justice, blah blah, it must be Hunter from the Road Rovers, in his off-duty form!

... and fancies ugly middle-aged women

(The final picture is on the Paris metro billboards right now)

I took the time to read an indignant account of the recent events: http://bridgeportcat.livejournal.com/96818.html
O backseat driver drama!

1) FA admins have access to private messages: so what? Same thing on the site where I trade Magic cards. When there are frequent conflicts between the users of a site, and admins often have to make disciplinary decisions, it's no surprise that the admins have access to PMs.

2) FA's alleged security holes: I don't know the security standards for that kind of site and I won't judge FA's performance based on hearsay. I'm sure the fandom has plenty of techie lolgeeks capable of occasional successful hacking regardless of the exact level of security.

3) Dragoneer's "gross" messages to users: actually I find them very reasonable.

- The zoo issue: I don't care about zoo and I find understandable that some are anti-zoo and others are tolerant/sympathetic. As for the legal status of zoo, it varies widely across countries and states. As long as Dragoneer's warnings/tip-offs to some users aim at removing public content which could hurt the site, I'd say his messages are mostly legitimate.

- The Zaush issue: the girl's testimony is not necessarily true, and would be worth little in court. Even if it's true, how is asking Dragoneer to ban Zaush from FA an appropriate response? Dragoneer's advice to the girl - that is, warning her that she may get hated/harassed by Zaush's fan base, and that she will need her own support to count on if she goes public - looks quite sensible to me.

In short, methinks it's all a case where ugliness is in the eye of the beholder

Eurofurence is next week!

***

Where are you staying?
EF hotel

What day are you getting there?
Regular arrival (September 1, early evening)

Who will you be with?
I have a single room (HINT HINT HINT!) and I'll be hanging out with various peeps

Do you do free art or trades?
Yes, preferably trades

No, seriously?
I won't do more than a few drawings during the con, so, if I draw free art for you, MAYBE it means I want to get in your pants

Do you do commissions/badges?
No

Do you have prints/CDs?
No

Do you have art in the Art Show?
Yes, eight or nine pieces if I get a full panel (PLUS UNOFFICIAL AUCTION: this piece featuring Wolf O'Donnell and Fox McCloud can't be in the Art Show because the characters are copyrighted. It will be visible in private, and I'll hold a sealed bid auction for interested buyers. Like my other pieces this year, it's an original drawing with colors printed on film, with a slight illusory 3D effect, framed under glass. Minimum bid is 25€)

What suit(s) will you have?
None

What is your gender?
Male

How old are you?
42, then 43 on September 3 during the con (B-DAY!)

Are you mated?
Single now (I was in an open relationship until last winter)

Can I touch you?
If this question is about hugging, then yes, especially on September 3 (B-DAY!)

Can I talk to you?
If this question is about talking to me for the first time without an introduction, then yes

Can I take photos of you/with you?
Only if I've known you for some time

Can I buy you lots of drinks?
Absolutely. Depending on what's available locally, I'll tell you what I like best

Do you drink Alcohol/Smoke?
I love alcohol

Can I give you lots of money?
Although I'm somewhat short on dough currently, I used to be well paid in the past, therefore it's unlikely that "lots of money" means the same thing to you and to me

Can we hang out?
Maybe!

Are you nice?
Overall yes, however my patience with youngster nonsense and pathological conduct is limited

Where will you be most of the time during the con?
I'll be moving a lot. If you're looking for me, maybe other French peeps can be of help. In case there are many tall older guys with glasses and a short beard at the con, here's a rough idea of what I look like

Other cons you may go to?
I'd love to go to Further Confusion – unlikely in a foreseeable future though

This bank made furry ads before, but this one's way more anthro, plus the adult character's design (bear? otter?) reminds me of  hermit's style (maybe he could sue them? ):

Yeah so I'm stranded in Paris for a month or so, with mostly boring tasks to perform for my psychology studies, normally next year it's all over and I can start earning money again and I can get proper vacations, gah.

I will attend Eurofurence 16 in Magdeburg. Hopefully I'll get a panel at the art show.
Maybe you noticed I have some kind of lasting art block - not for lack of ideas, rather because maintaining certain quality standards requires so much work.

At any rate I'm still connected, I keep an eye on you all! Take care

If you read my journal of last week, you probably know what to expect x-D

I have an exam again tomorrow. Child and adolescent psychopathology, blah. Spent the weekend on dyspraxia, early-onset schizophrenia, youth anxiety disorders, Tourette syndrome, and so on. Right now it's late at night and I'm reviewing abuse, esp. reading a 1983 paper on the "Child Sexual Abuse Accommodation Syndrome" by R.C. Summit. The guy's full of passion for his cause, and sometimes he seems to mix profoundity and voyeurism, such as in:

"Children often describe their first experiences as waking up to find their father (or stepfather, or mother's live-in companion) exploring their bodies with hands or mouth. Less frequently, they may find a penis filling their mouth or probing between their legs. Society allows the child one acceptable set of reactions to such an experience. Like the adult victim of rape, the child victim is expected to forcibly resist, to cry for help and to attempt to escape the intrusion. By that standard, almost every child fails.
The normal reaction is to "play possum," that is to feign sleep, to shift position and to pull up the covers. Small creatures simply do not call on force to deal with overwhelming threat. When there is no place to run, they have no choice but to try to hide. Children generally learn to cope silently with terrors in the night. Bed covers take on magical powers against monsters, but they are no match for human intruders."

On a lighter note, and assuming you heard of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, did you notice that the acronym is CBT, which also means something else?

I have an important exam tomorrow about the cognitive performance of psychiatric patients. I reviewed my courses on schizophrenia and obsessive-compulsive disorder, and I guess I'll spend the whole night on depression. Hence the title of the journal

BTW a night without sleep before the exam is what I get for procrastinating

Do you know FAP?
Functional Analytic Psychotherapy
"Mom, I'm FAPping with my therapist"

I reopened my LiveJournal with a theme (so it's NOT a log of my everyday life, unlike most LJs). The title says it all: The quest for smelly feet.
http://eustache.livejournal.com/

I was three days in the city of Lille last week for a conference on emotions, it was most cool. I was also allowed to handle alone a group therapy session for the first time the other day. I did a drawing (wee, nowadays it's hard for me to get down to the pencil part) and the coloring should come swiftly.

Following Felixpath and Beachfox, I'm doing the meme based on this:
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.p.....erThanItSounds
The idea being that anything, especially movies, can be made to sound really bland and boring with the right words. I did only five; they're fairly easy to guess; I mostly wanted to make fun of the plot of some films.

1) An arms industry tycoon develops a novel technology allowing him to punish the misuse of his products. The new technology is soon misused. Awkwardness ensues.

2) A hermit scientist stubbornly tries to reverse certain apocalyptic consequences of scientific hubris. He loses his dog, his sanity and his life. A thriving colony of survivors is happy with God and doesn't care.

3) A guy finds out he's a demigod and sets out on a mission to save the world from the wrath of Zeus. A satyr is with him. The party receives help and guidance out of the blue and kills monsters. They go to hell and retrieve a potent weapon. The mastermind behind the crisis is unmasked.

4) A guy finds out he's a demigod and sets out on a mission to save the world from the wrath of Zeus. A winged horse is with him. The party receives help and guidance out of the blue and kills monsters. They go to hell and retrieve a potent weapon. The mastermind behind the crisis is unmasked.

5) A genius investigator fights in clubs and stares at flies. A British gentleman with a cane and a derby hat castigates villains. A community of wizards is subverted by an evil lord. A survival game is played in an abandoned slaughterhouse. The supernatural events were all faked, but Scooby-Doo wasn't there.

So, months passed since my last journal, but I wanted to upload some art before writing anything.

Huge loads of work at the Uni last semester, less now, yet there are medium-term deadlines I worry about, esp. regarding my research (getting psychiatrists to send me appropriate patients to interview).

Since my BF and I broke up, we meet for lunch or a movie sometimes. I also met a bunch of guys on bearwww.com - nothing more than some good sex and/or hanging out for now

I played « truth or dare » for the first time in my life at a birthday on Friday, with wrestling buddies. It was an opportunity to imitate an elephant, whiff some toes, have my throat licked, and more The president of our club is such a slut, he disappeared in the next room with one of the non-wrestlers

I registered for Eurofurence 16, got the single room I wanted, didn’t pay yet, I’ll make an effort to spare the funds and prepare an exhibit. BTW WHO’S COMING?

 pokeypony owed me a kiriban prize and commissioned  yurimatsue (  notveryathletic did the colors): http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3457741/
Although I expected a drawing made by the pony himself with his own little hooves, I find it quite considerate to commission someone as a replacement in case of need. If only the five or six peeps who still owe me stuff did the same

So, Yiffstar died and SoFurry took its place… *sobs* My drawing of this week can be seen there with a simpler, sky-blue background: http://sofurry.com/page/129699/

A cool french clip with some gorgeous guys (a girl fantasizes about what the boys might be doing in the lockerrooms): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8v7F-6tjbEk

So, I was at a Halloween party tonight, with a good deal of my wresting club attending; I was dressed as Zombie Jesus:
(Edit: picture removed, you saw it enough!)

The "Zombie Jesus" theme is practically unknown in France, so, people in the street were hailing me all the time on the way to and from the party, and I was among the 5 finalists for the party's "best disguise" contest

I'm a bit sorry that I didn't draw anything this month. The subjects I feel like drawing are very complex, so it's hard to get them started, especially when horribly dense courses started at my university, and will last until January.

The good news: my boyfriend bought me a new tablet, a Wacom bamboo, as a late B-day present.

The bad news: my boyfriend's official mate (I've been his hidden lover for 4,5 years) found a trace of the purchase with my home delivery address, and my BF told me this week that he couldn't manage the lies anymore, so he wants us to break up. Such an event is neither unforeseen nor pleasant, so I'm currently mildly depressed, and hesitating between making a big move to make the guy mine, or moving on...

Anyway, have a happy halloween, or what's left of it

In two days time, on Thursday 3rd, I will be reaching the formidable age of 42!

I got a few decades left to become famous

When I think that some of the boys here, in the pants and sneakers of whom I want to get, are less than half my age, I know I'm an old furvert

Besides, these were my first couple days in the hospital as an unpaid psychology trainee. Today I attended a cognitive-behavioral therapy group for patients with personality disorders (no psychopaths though ). I took notes and stayed late to write the proceedings.

I won’t move to Switzerland after all: the research and training arrangements are made so that I continue studying in Paris.

Kinda lousy month of August so far: I don’t seem to achieve much work nor fun, and the prospect of missing EuroFurence is frustrating

"OMG so cute" newborn puppy sucking the lips of a gay porn actor

Mildly disturbing drawings of my moose by Salkafar and by Akidaswolf

Magic 2010: the unexpected return of the Lightning Bolt! The Master of the Wild Hunt has moose antlers and a cool power involving wolves. The Baneslayer Angel is an outrageously fat pig

So, for several reasons I'll skip the major European con this year.
(Too bad, I had some nice framed artwork pieces to show, and a SIG theme too!)

(EDIT: reselling my registration is already underway).

***

Besides, my teacher was very happy with my research memo on cognitive-behavior therapy, and gave me a 19.5/20 mark; considering that my other grades are mostly above 16/20, I guess they'll take me in Geneva and I'll move next fall. Mountainwalking lies ahead, wee!

... I'd better hurry if I want to save face and draw something before month-end Or else there'll be a gap in my 2009 calendar!

Exams and the deadline for my memo are drawing near, I'm studying a lot, much of it is on-screen and tough for the eyes.

Also, I resumed composing Magic decks; it steals whatever little time I could spend on drawing

I had a good casual encounter in bed with a young man yesterday (not a fur), it turned out he had a minotaur with feet tattoed on a shoulder blade, it was awesome! I showed him some of  toro's sketchbooks too

Still wondering if I'm going to Eurofurence 15 or reselling my registration. Still no identified roommate. The uncertainty doesn't help.

I completed an application to study psychology in Geneva for the next 2 years (Master's degree). That would be quite a change of environment! My regular BF and I aren't too happy about 2 years of long-distance relationship. But the equivalent degrees in Paris don't suit me - or shall I say they're crap

The sky is blue, and the first fly of the year just entered my kitchen (how romantic).

Soon I'll have to buy new flowers to replace the dead ones at my windows.

I don't believe much in springtime libido surge, first of all it would be nice if I got completely rid of that cold and I recovered the full use of my precious nostrils.

My teachers are still on strike, they gave us books to read instead... lotsa books.

I finally paid for my double-room Eurofurence 15 membership, but I may resell it later. It will depend on who else is coming, and what roommate I can find *stares at a certain wolf*
