*Old Art - Rerun*
Ah, those good old days when I had a head full of ideas and I thought I would take a quick dip into the pool of published art. I did my first piece for what I figured is now a defunct publication called The Fandom Directory. It was a listing of various fandoms and their members. Along with the listings were submissions from artists throughout the genres. There were quite a few from our fandom such as, dare I say the name??? Steve Martin I think. Needless to say my first submission was rejected, not suitable. the sketchlike picture in the upper right was just a sample of what I did, I might post the original one day. Anyway, this was to be my second submission to try again but being crushed, I decided not to finish it and submit it. I know, my loss, but you gotta remember back then in the 89-90 time frame, they were looking for flash and pomp rather than effort.
So today, 2009 I present to you all my submission. Tell me, if 89 was like 2009, would it have been published?

I first discovered the fandom in 2000 or '01, and even then I was struck by how much sex and adult content there was to be found. In the years since, things just seemed to have exploded. Whether that's because the audience has grown such or their tastes have gotten wilder, I dunno. I will say that the ever-increasing proliferation of XXX (and worse)-related material is probably doing nothing to change the media's and mainstream public's idea that furries are a nothing more than sex-obsessed freaks.
I hear you there. Don't get me wrong, I might be a sex-obsessed freak, (In this case a bunny-obsessed freak.) but I know moderation and I know when to pull out the big guns and when to power up the cuteness sugar factory. In the past I more or less preached that both worlds can exist in moderation but it fell on deaf ears I guess. Thanks again for your comments and understanding. Cheers.
