7. I can't wait to move out of my childhood home when I graduate.

8. No matter how much weight I loose, I will always see myself as weighing the close to 200 lbs that I have before.

Hey guys! A customer of mine has unfortunately run into some hard times financially recent and is forced to sell her sparkle dog fullsuit that I made for her! Check out the auction! I LOVED making this suit and I would love to see him go to a great home!!!

Happy bidding! I wanna see him go to a great home!

Hey guys! I'll be gone fora few days! I'm going out to State College for my mate's graduation (YAY! I'm so proud of you !!! <3 <3 <3) and my big brother's graduation in Wisconsin. Yes we're driving out to Wisconsin and I want to cry :p

But It will be a joyous weekend full of happiness for my family! <3

See you in a day, Dave! I love you!!!

But to everyone else: I probably will not be able to answer emails, comments or notes, but I'll answer everything when I get back!

Look. I know that my art isn't anywhere NEAR perfect. I do it because it relaxes me and if it puts a smile on someone else's face. I draw for my friends and myself. I KNOW that my anatomy is not good. I'm WELL aware of this.

But waking up to comments being VERY mean about it is NOT cool. I KNOW there are issues. and I WELCOME comments to help my art get better. But leaving nasty comments on my art is not acceptable and jsut downright rude. I do not approve.

So please, in the future, my art is for me and my friends, and those who pay for me to make them something on occasion. There's NO NEED to be nasty and hurtful, k? Cool.

~Kotto

yeahhhh I know, it's not a huge number compared to most people, but it's a pretty large number to me!

But I'm keeping true to my word! Whoever gets a screenshot of the 5000th pageview gets FREE ART!

Just send me the picture, and we'll discuss what you get!!

Hey Guys! Wanted to let yunz know that I'm open for badges for pick-up at FCN this year! Laminated and badge clip included!

~Traditional Badge- $15
example: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3371923/ http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5272231/

~Full-body Badge- $20

~Couples Badges- $30
example: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3938287/

*Just note me, or comment below if you're interested! If you're NOT going to FCN, then I please ask that you add $2 to the rice for shipping costs :) Thanks!

--I'm aslo working on fursuit badge holders/ cell phone holders, I'll have pics tonight! They'll probably be $20ish. But more on that later...


So I've also been toying around with the idea of trying to get a table for the Artist Alley at FCN this year.

So I guess what I wanted to ask is, what do you guys think? Yes? No? Think anyone would like some badges/ sketches and such? Everything would be traditional pieces.

Buuutttt, I love just bullshitting at cons. I love running around in my fursuit and I'm worried that maybe I would miss out on fun times because of it...

What are your thoughts?

Hey guys! That's right! Kotto Kreations now has it's own PA page!

http://www.furaffinity.net/user/kottokreations/

go and check it out! I'll only be posting commissions and fursuit on that page, but no worries, this one is DEF not going inactive :p

~Kotto

hey guys, so I'll be a bit slower on getting those commissions out for a few weeks. My grandmother passed away yesterday February 22, 2011. I'm just in a funk right now. I have no grandparents left and I just.. idk. I'm not feeling myself.

I will also be gone until Sunday. I am leaving tomorrow night to drive back to Philly to be with my family. I have to miss my weekend shoot for my short film that I am the director of as well. I will be in touch sometimes by phone. but it will be off when I'm with my family.

Sorry for the delay, I will get to work on those commissions soon. I just need a week or so to sort out some things.

~Kotto
