Plugging artists and some Califur shtuffs.

Since I know what it's like to be a broke artist, plugging a few great artists

I've seen a few other folks plug thornwolf' furbid auctions, but I figured the more people plugging arts, the better. SO check out her presently running auctions for original sketches and even a full sketchbook!

One more plug to make and this is for a great project I only recently came across! Some of you have seen some of the drama unfolding on FA, needless to say even the short time I've been a part of the fandom, I've heard a lot of negative things about the fandom collectively. Thus far what I have seen has been mostly good, so I think the rest of the world needs to see the positive side of the fandom. Currently there is a book project scheduled for release in 2007. It will be a collection of anthromorphic g-pg13 rated artwork from all around the world. This year's deadline was scheduled for mid november, however due to the drama on FA the entry deadline has been extended to January 1st 2007. The entry fee has also been waived this year. SO I urge everyone to put their name in the hat. You all have something to offer, and hey..what have ya got to lose if the entry fee is free and there are no publishing fees for those that enter??

As for Balaa arts, have a few major things I need to get started and finished.

And this is where your collective minds could really come in handy. As many of you know I am supposed to be GOH for Califur '07, so that means I needs to get a buncha arts done for the Califur people. Unfortunately, so far, I haven't had much of an inspiration storm in my mind when it comes to this year's theme Furry Villains. I need art for the following things: Conbook cover, t-shirt design, advertisement flyer, a couple badge designs, and a few assorted smaller things.

And here I sit with no grand ideas to woo me! SOOOOOOOOOOO any and all ideas along the lines of 'Furry Villains' would help tremendously! Anything that comes to mind is welcome, however small or silly you may feel it is. Go ahead and leave a comment, artistic inspiration is an odd thing, you really never know what will spark the fire. Thank you in advance folks, really appreciate any and all input.

That be all now, behind on current commissions but getting caught up. Look for a journal of random sketchyness coming at ya soon.

Quick sketchdump and java induced scrawlins.

Been awol for a while, sick for a couple weeks and busied by life the rest of the time.

Just a quick sketchdump of all the various sketchies that have been piling up around me, while I was sick and whatnot. These were good for me methinks, teaching me to let go and draw random stuff and not be so crazy picky about every tiny detail, just let loose and let come what may (plus good stress relief, especially knowing they don't have to be polished or finished : D). Also way overdue Badge for gatcat behind cut!

( much sketchyness and shtuff )

Also, ifn you didn't catch it in the last entry, still appreciate any idears for Califur art; the theme is furry villains and so far I gots nothin!

Thank ya kindly for stoppin by.
