It's hard to believe that 2014 marked the 30th anniversary of the 'funny animal' APAzine "Rowrbrazzle". It's even harder to believe that - ten years before that anniversary - I went through the time and trouble of putting together a special "Artist's Jam" for the publication's 20th Anniversary! But that's just what I'd done...

Throughout February, 2015 (my latest 'sweeps month'), I will be posting various images, in celebration of the APAzine's milestone. Said images were rendered by a variety of anthroartists: some of them, "Rowrbrazzle" members (past and present), while others come from friends who also specialize in 'funny animal' art (but didn't have the time to become 'Brazzlers themselves). Naturally, I'd asked for their permission, before planning to scan and post these upcoming images... but I know you'll enjoy the diversity of talent who contributed to said jam!

Meanwhile, to get things started, I'm posting the original cover art for the "Artist's Jam", featuring my own two characters: 'Rob Cat' and 'Donovan Lupus' - as they help introduce this major undertaking of mine...

If anyone out there would like to consider joining "Rowrbrazzle" (which is now 31 years old, and still going strong), contact its current editor William Earl Haskell either by E-mailing forban[at]hal-pc.org or by 'snail-mailing' him at P.O. Box 890982, Houston, Texas 77289-0982. Any sample 'funny animal' artwork and/or literature you'd like to submit should be no stronger (in content) than PG-rated.
