Hello, Furaffinity!
General | Posted 11 years agoI have come to realize that I actually really like Weasyl. I spent the afternoon transferring most of my watches from here to there with intent to move most of my activity over there. That isn't to say that I'm leaving FA, far from it. There are plenty of people worth watching here that I don't see making the change to there. Plus, I intend to crosspost as much of my work as possible.
In case you haven't added me on Weasyl, you can do so here

Lessons Learned from Paw Day:
General | Posted 11 years ago... Draw more paws!
The simple little doodle I made for paw day has gotten more attention than any of my other b/w sketches in less than a day (save for one, but it's had five whole years to get the reception its gotten). I've always liked to draw paws but have been hesitant to post it on here. Given the positive reception, you'll probably be seeing at least a few more paw drawings from me in the future! :D

Some Optimism.
General | Posted 11 years agoAfter an essentially wasted 2013 and a rough start to 2014 trying to recover from major surgery, I'm feeling pretty good tonight. Have my sights set on a better job with real benefits and more flexibility in how and where I do my job. The interview should be sometime this week.
Been enjoying a little more creativity. Once again, I'm not really uploading anything because it's scribbles in my sketchbook, per the usual. But also I've been playing around with WarioWare DIY making some dorky furry minigames -- usually involving penises.
I want to do something musical again when I don't have to worry about finding better employment. Something fun. Maybe disco?
Just thought I would let everyone know I'm doing pretty good. :3

A Letter to Idaho Furs, and those who attend Anime Oasis
General | Posted 12 years agoWhy I Will Never Return to Anime Oasis, or, on Geek Pissing Contests and Their Inherent Stupidity
It took a year and a half for me to develop the audacity to write this; I am not one for “call outs”. However, if you are a prominent public individual, making public statements, you’re not going to escape public criticism.
When I was in middle school and high school, the highlight of my year was Anime Oasis, the major geeky convention of the Boise area. When I was young, I admired the Anime Oasis chairman, Jeremy Lopett, for his effort, bringing together the event that introduced me to many of my friends -- as well as my girlfriend, Sara. As of today, however. I will never attend another Anime Oasis -- and this person, whom I once looked up to, is the cause.
Sara and I have been members of the local furry fandom -- a group that appreciates anthropomorphic art and media -- for more than three years. In 2012, we participated in FurIdaho, the first furry convention to be successfully held in Idaho.
When the convention date came, despite the lackluster turnout on Friday, the attendance bounced back and by the end of the con the numbers had reached 253 attendees, just short of Fandemonium’s statewide record of 256 attendees at a first-year geek convention -- as well as exceeding Anime Oasis’ first year by a significant margin. The entire staff was ecstatic, not only did FurIdaho not “bomb” as many had anticipated, they managed to put on a pretty damn good con.
Not impressed, Jeremy Lopett took to his Facebook page (public to anyone with a facebook account) claiming that FurIdaho would not be where it was had it not been for conventions before it (which had never been suggested). Even worse, he took to Anime Oasis’ official Facebook page, condescendingly accusing FurIdaho of “Fuzzy Math” when counting attendance. Both posts have since been taken down. Those of us who grew up looking to Anime Oasis as the ideal convention saw this as a slap in the face: the person who inspired us to put together our own convention was now looking down his nose at us with contempt. While he detests them, Jeremy has no issue taking furries’ money and, perhaps, if FurIdaho wouldn’t have had its success without the help of Anime Oasis, it could be said Anime Oasis would not have had its success without all the attendees who supported it all these years -- even the ones Jeremy dislikes.
Simply bashing FurIdaho’s attendance numbers was not a huge offense, but Jeremy seems to have a consistent pattern of ostracizing the furry fandom in general. In another public Facebook post, he claimed to enjoy Pittsburgh Pirates’ games so much he could watch them even with “1,000 furries hanging around, if I had to.” -- suggesting that we are not good enough to “hang around” with Jeremy.
What finally set me off, however, was a story Sara brought back with her from the most recent Tomodachi Fest: while spending time with friends -- and Jeremy -- Jeremy began to rail against fandoms that annoyed him -- including the recently popular “Homestuck” fandom. He then said, “You know what the worst fandom is, though? Furries”, without a hint of respect that Sara was standing right in front of him.
He’s even acted out against the fandom using his own convention. A local Boise fursuiter, A.C. Arment, attending Anime Oasis, entered the cosplay contest in fursuit only to be ejected by Jeremy and escorted out by AO Security. He was not given any official reason why he was booted from the contest, but felt that his presence “aggravated” Jeremy. In the competition there were “other cosplayers that weren’t anime characters” and that it was most likely the fact that he was a fursuiter he was kicked out.
Not long after he was removed from the event, an Anime Oasis staff member -- notably not Jeremy himself -- approached A.C. offering that he judge the cosplay contest in order to make amends. A.C. declined, feeling the gesture was insincere.
I don’t expect Jeremy to like the furry fandom, but, as a head of a convention where many of his attendees do, there at least should be a level of professionalism and respect towards all fandoms -- not exclusively furries -- and not just the ones he’s personally invested in. You don't have to enjoy something to be a decent human being to those that do. Regardless of whether or not someone is interested in the furry fandom, there are aspects to the fandom that can be appreciated. A friend of mine once described furries as “punk rock”; unlike most fandoms, furries’ media is very DIY, predominantly made by small-time artists, fursuit makers, writers, and publishers. This way media is created in our fandom is very unique. “Our popular artists and entertainers are our friends, not our idols.” -- there’s something to be said of the furry fandom’s independent spirit, even if you don’t like talking, bipedal animals.
Jeremy seems to either not understand or not care that many people who attend his convention are often furries; and they attend his convention in spite of his callous and, frankly, inappropriate attitude towards them. As a prominent figure in the local nerd community, he sets a standard for all those within that community. If he marginalizes a section of that community he’s established that it’s acceptable for anyone to do the same. To create a pecking order among geeks by demeaning fandoms other than your own is juvenile and harmful to the community -- especially if you're in a position to be a role model.
Though I haven’t attended the convention in several years, Fandemonium and it’s staff have set a stellar example of being a place welcoming to all. I recall attending a few years ago when furry events were just beginning to be accepted and remember when the staff was up in arms about an incident where someone had harassed a furry panel in the middle of the event. This is the kind of standard that geek leaders should be held to.
The fact remains that the attitude and behavior that Jeremy has towards his paying customers is petty and unacceptable; is there another business you would continue to frequent if the owner resented you? If even half of FurIdaho’s attendance purchased 4-day passes to Anime Oasis, you’re looking at over $5000 in revenue; from how close I hear conventions often cut it, that's sizable.
As for myself, I'm going to continue to boycott the convention I once looked forward to every year -- at least until the management gets over its illusion of superiority and shows decency to all geeks. At the end of the day, how Jeremy treats his congoers is entirely his business choice, but, speaking personally, I'd rather put my money into a con that wants me there over one that'll take my cash then allow its leadership to demean me.

SimonHeron A Porn Manifesto
General | Posted 13 years agoSo, I've come to the conclusion that I have a lot of porn in my sketchbook. Not that this is a bad thing; porn is fantastic -- and I feel can be a candidate for art in some form or another -- but such narrow focus can lack subtlety. I want to make art that can be sexy or dirty without having to rely on explicit images of penetration or arousal, etc. I've seen a lot of artists do this here on FA, and I find it to be more effective. So I've got myself a new main sketchbook and I've written a few personal rules on the inside cover:
They say you make better work if you restrict your palette rather than paint with all the colors of the rainbow. Maybe having to work around a set of guidelines will help me not paint the same goddamned picture over and over.
1. No explicit images of arousal -- ie. massive throbbing dog cock.
2. No images of graphic penetration -- this leaves nothing to the imagination.
3. Any sexual contact must be at least to some degree obscured -- the "Austin Powers" rule.
4. Prefer to depict scenes five minutes before or after "the act"
5. If any of these rules are to be broken, there better fucking be a good reason.They say you make better work if you restrict your palette rather than paint with all the colors of the rainbow. Maybe having to work around a set of guidelines will help me not paint the same goddamned picture over and over.

My observation of this fandom over the last few years is that this graph is accurate. The furs who tend to claim that they are "anti-drama" are often the most dramatic. :S

Tumblr?!
General | Posted 13 years agoProbably something I should have said earlier, but didn't get around to it: I have a tumblr! I've been making a bunch of doodles -- mostly porn -- and taking instagram photos of them to put on the internet. This is mostly intended as a way for me to show what I'm doing even when its not necessarily something I would deem "presentable" on FurAffinity. I suppose you would call it a sketchblog.
Anyway, drop in. I have a comment system enabled so that you can leave me messages if you so choose. You can find it here:

What have I been doing?
General | Posted 13 years agoHell if I know! The last month or so has been rather frantic, preparing for our drive to Denver. The weekend before we had to attend local Boise convention Fandemonium on behalf of FurIdaho. It turned out to be a huge success. We sold more presales in the first few hours than we did during the entirety of Fandemonium 2011; it certainly helps to be an established con! After this we immediately had to start preparing for RMFC.
So, after a series of minor car repairs (oh, thank god: Air Conditioning), we were ready to roll. I made the the 14 hour drive with the help of my girlfriend SimonHeron, DocileDingo and her boyfriend, Nick, through Utah and Wyoming before finally arriving in Colorado. (As a side note: we passed through Laramie, WY, which had been a symbol for me, growing up gay in notoriously conservative Idaho. It gave me a strange feeling of catharsis and solidarity -- I'll have to write about it later.)
The first night we stayed at some awesome family friends of Simon before winding up at the Doubletree. I met a couple of my own friends there -- Alister and EleniRaine. It was a shame we couldn't hang out more. I suppose there's always next con. The most interesting thing was putting names to faces and voices of Simon's friends she had been talking about for the last (just shy of) two years. I got to meet RuneImagiro who is a pretty cool guy. I was able to see him perform with the Unmentionables -- an improv troupe -- twice during the convention; I helped lead the canines to victory for the first time in years in "Purry Fictionary"; and, while hungover, I watched FreeFox hold his "Free Can Cook" event.
Simon and I wandered around her old stomping grounds. I got to see the University of Denver and we visited a pair of restaurants she used to frequent. It's amazing how much you can learn about a person by seeing where they've been.
At night I got to party with a bunch of awesome people, playing my shitty acoustic guitar fairly drunk. I managed to catch a glimpse of the more "furry" side of my traveling companions during the party -- which was hilarious.
Following the con, we stayed at Rune's place with his roommates/friends, who were all cool guys. We played video games and they cooked us breakfast. It was fantastic. I can't say enough, Rune, how cool of you it was to have you guys take us in.
It was a pretty great first time in Colorado. There was so much done, I'm sure I'm forgetting plenty -- and omitting tons more. I hope to get back again someday. Denver is now on the list of places that I may possibly escape to if I ever decide I need to run away from Boise.

Thing I have been listening to lately:
General | Posted 13 years agoIt's been a while since I've talked about what's been in my CD player in the last few months. So here's a few albums I've been enjoying.
The Black Keys' "El Camino" and "Attack and Release"
Pavement's "Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain"
The New Pornographer's "Mass Romantic"
The Mars Volta's "Bedlam in Goliath"
Sonic Youth's "The Eternal"
Pink Floyd's "Animals"
Modest Mouse's "This is a Long Drive For Someone with Nothing to Think About"
Beck's "Guero"
The White Stripes "De Stijl" (with
Mikha)
Of course. Most of the stuff I listen to now is like old hipster stuff to the point where it's not even hipster anymore. Anyone got any good albums they're listening through?

Herro. Now I have to draw something for it. :SMade out like a bandit
General | Posted 13 years agoI was wandering pawn shops today looking for new guitar pedals, but I spotted something interesting: an Wacom Intuos 4 tablet. Those things went for $230 brand new, and the one I found was in practically unused condition, and it was priced at $80. I tried my hardest to not act excited.
I asked the salesperson to take it out and show it to me. I even made a noise of dissatisfaction when she said that it came without software. She then offered it to me $50.
I downloaded the drivers online and started playing with it. It works perfectly and is infinitely more accurate than my crappy Bamboo. I used to have an Intuos 2 back in the day before it died. Now I have the same accuracy that I had back then.
Hopefully I'll get some digital work done after some practice. I'm glad to have a decent tablet again. :3

Terrifying Realization
General | Posted 13 years agoSo, as most of my friends know, due to some unfortunate circumstances, even though I had completed my coursework last semester, I am walking this one. In fact, today even, at 10am, I will have one degree more than I had right now.
It's actually kind of surreal that this is all over now. Four years at this place -- Five if you count U of I -- and now it's time for me to go.
Well... Let's do this. Then, I'll see all you Idaho Furs at the bowling meet tonight.
