Pheew at least you're still alive! After what is goign on around here, wiht many good artist that I liked a lot and i considered staples of furry art simply passed away i'm getting paranoid and over worried about..everyone...
The fact that you're still alive is a great news to me. As for art it matter only that you keep on drawing, furry or not, funny or not, even if you don't pubblish. It does nto matter. Just do art. Even just in your heart.
Sorry i got hijacked by my emotions(it happen to me often recently...I stay silent a lot and them BAM a tsunami of words and...)

Yes, bad years lately for the core of furry artists. Thanks for your concern Fez, and glad to reassure you.
Anyway, I still want to post all my pics here, until FA goes wrong again at least, so if I post nothing, that's only because I draw nothing. Not much in my heart indeed.

Difficult question to answer indeed... Why?
What is the Why?
Or what is the Why based on?
Currently I'm heavily into political discussions about the Iran deal and fearing that Europe and the US is about to finance their own deaths. US administration keeps saying that if there is no deal there is war, well bullshit, that's what the sanctions are for and can become more restrictive.
This is not a great economic time for anyone currently, and the world is still waiting for Greece to get their heads out of socialism ass cracks and breathe some fresh air.
I'm also getting concerned about Spain, well to be honest, a whole lot of Europe is financially killing themselves these days. The only solid financial powerhouse in the region is Germany... That made me do a WTF??? But after some research I realized that they knew the global economy was going to contract and ramped up their banking industry. What they don't make in interest or profit, they will make in acquisition of property or intellectual rights.
The world is in chaos, there are no world leaders to speak of at this moment, and the threat of terrorist activity globally is expanding. Weak governments make for weak economies, and allow disgruntled wannabes to latch onto a destructive cause as a way to end their existence on this world with the illusion that they can be granted a hero life.

You've got a very american-biased view of the european situation (not that I don't understand, probably as much as we cannot really understand your own stuff - like gun madness), but socialism is absolutely not the cause of Greece problems (you Americans have been so well "educated" by your government for generations that just the word "socialism" is enough to get you a heart attack), while Germany has on the contrary one of the most fragile economic health in Europa, since it heavily relies on countries around, just like China. An extremely small fraction of any sanction that some countries like Iran endured for years would definately break it in a few monhes. That's why Angela Merkel is so uncompromising with her european neighbours.
Also, like everybody in the world, you are being abused by all the information that's too easy to get a hand on and surounds us without control nowadays. Especially sensationalist one, the one that easily brings back attention and money.
FACTS are that we are globaly living in a much secured world than any generation before us. But we are totally dazzled by anxiety brought by the media. Knowledge, especially the untamed one, is our plague.

So as not to have you read double replies, I'll consolidate a single reply to these two comments. First off I need to make it clear that I've knocked off half a bottle of rum, so if there are missing pieces of what I'm talking about I ask to simply request clarification.
1) I'm not understanding your "like gun madness" comment, could you please expand? I'm hoping you are referring to the criminal use of firearm violence, if so I can provide a small amount of input on that subject.
2) Greece as a socialist nation. This may confuse you, but I will be as concise as possible in an attempt to describe political party views on what socialism is in american terms. While there are technically four political parties (Democrat, Independent, Libertarian, and Republican) there are really two parties that actually garner the majority of the votes. Democrats and Republicans; Independents typically support Democrats and Libertarians generally support Republicans. Democrats are also filed under the Left Wing Liberal agenda, whereas most Republicans are classified as Right Wing Conservatives.
Crap, severe thunderstorm moving in and getting power drops, I'll have to continue this later.
I friggin' hate Wi-Fi, want solid CAT6 ethernet drops. =+S

Attempting to continue, I don't have the exact train of thought as I had yesterday but I'll try.
Democrats believe that the government should provide everything to everyone no matter the cost in taxes or national deficits, this is the big reason many conservatives call them Shadow Socialists. Republicans want people to provide for themselves and want the free market to create competition in order to drive down prices, which is supposed to reduce taxes and reduce the national deficit.
Now the only reason I even went into that breakdown is to hopefully create a base of understanding. From my understanding, Greece has hugely generous pension plans that are not fully funded in order to support the demand placed upon those pensions by its beneficiaries. This means that Greece must borrow money to pay for such pension plans repeatedly, so Greece keeps spending more on said pensions than their yearly Gross Domestic Product (GDP) can keep up with. As the borrowing continues there comes a point that the government can not pay the interest on the debt it owes, then defaults and it becomes clear that the government refuses to restructure their pension plans and therefore becomes a Socialistic entity by asking others to pay for services that they can not afford.
To be fair, Greece is not alone on this issue. America was facing the same problems on a large scale, until corporate America began to rely on 401K plans in lieu of pensions (not sure what the equivalent of such a plan is over there), however the public sector (read government and required service providers) and unionized sectors did not switch to 401K plans and are currently having problems funding their current pension demands. Notice the tale of two worlds in America alone?
3) I don't understand why you bring up the notions of sanctions against Germany and say it will break them in a few months. Why would any country wish to sanction Germany? The China comparison I do understand, however with out Germany I don't see how the Euro could continue to survive as it appears the banking system resides solely on their shoulders. Please correct me if I'm wrong there.
4) I do not bother with internet news alone. If something piques my interest I'll research it on known respected news organization websites. I even have to compare many sites against each other to make sure I get the whole truth and not just a partial truth, you can say I don't like biased news and want only the facts.
5) President Obama said the same thing about being in a globally more secure world than ever before. This year alone (and we are barely half way through it) the US alone arrested 49 potential lone wolf ISIS inspired would be terrorists, confirmed that over 200 US citizens have already joined ISIS, and that globally between 20,000 to possibly 50,000 people world wide have joined or attempted to join ISIS. Then I need to point out your very own avatar icon as a reminder that all is not well, Je Suis Charlie, and please don't think I'm trying to say that all nations are in trouble. The poor nations, especially in Africa, are the ones that are hardest hit by the ISIS and Iranian backed Boko Harem (spelling?) activities. The point I'd like to make is that do you really believe they will be satisfied once they have their Caliphate? That my friend is my own anxiety and could perhaps be a false one, but I have to look at the facts available currently and my answer at this time is no. Radical Islam will not be satisfied until all are converted to Sharia law Islam or killed. Heh, just a side note, I really hate todays media outlets.
I await your thought sir.

Comme j'ai 552 comptes watchés, j'avoue que ça fait un certain temps que je vérifie les nouveaux posts en diagonales...
Surtout que qu'il y a eut des départs de gens que j'aimais bien, et l'impression que - finalement - beaucoup d'artistes ne font que répéter ce que d'autres ont déjà fait ou bien ne se renouvellent pas. Bref, souvent, ça ronronne... Ou alors, c'est moi qui devient blasé...

Je connais ça aussi. J'en suis arrivé aux deux même conclusions.
Quand tu es "vieux", tu barbes tout le monde en disant que ce qui se fait, tu l'as déjà vu mille fois... Mais c'est VRAI ! C'est un fait, quelque chose de vraiment nouveau, c'est très rare (comme les créations de Giger - encore que l'on puisse très certainement trouver ses sources d'inspiration) - je ne dis pas non plus qu'il y ait copie, les mêmes idées fleurissent souvent spontanément d'elles-mêmes à plusieurs endroits et à plusieurs époques.
De façon plus générale, l'art va très certainement je pense connaître bientôt sa plus grosse crise d'identité : il ne reste plus vraiment de civilisation à "découvrir", tous les styles sont à peu près connus désormais (c'est bien sûr assez caricatural mais c'est la théorie fondamentale derrière cette affirmation qui compte), et l'information circule tellement vite qu'on ne peut laisser un style mûrir dans son coin pendant des centaines d'années pour qu'il acquière sa personnalité propre et forte, donc à moins d'un (collectif d') artiste(s) particulièrement éclairé(s), un véritable renouveau ne peut désormais plus que passer par la découverte d'une civilisation disparue... ou des voyageurs des étoiles ! Après tout, tous les humains sont identiques structurellement parlant, un cerveau construit de la même façon d'un côté comme de l'autre de la planète possède forcément des limites liées à son mode de fonctionnement, quelle que soit la force de l'imaginaire et de l'inventivité qui s'en dégage.
