A quote from my art book that seems kinda relevant given the persistent controversies around adult art. Who gets to set the rules of imagination? It's literally the question that spawned the furry fandom. Available as always from @fenrispublishing.bsky.social at: bewere.net/product.php?...

"Pinned (volunteer)", cropped detail I'm not sure whether I could post the full version of this painting here, so I'd rather not risk. If you are curious it's not hard to figure out where to find it.

Spot on comment about the constant calls for art censorship. Complaining about fiction is easy and lazy. Working on real problems is hard, but that's what the actually good, moral people do. Censoring a few drawings isn't going to reduce anyone's suffering.

Experimental canopic jars I made for my QCCC crew over on Patreon ✨✨ These were some of the best cylinders I've ever thrown on the wheel, and I'm excited to apply what I've learned from making these towards future things. #art #pottery

Anyone got any more suggestions for chicken breeds for me to pixel? #pixelart

"Do not share content depicting animal abuse, torture, fighting, staged rescues, or wildlife exploitation." But then "These rules do not prevent you from sharing content about hunting, fishing, and other legal wildlife activities." Really, bluesky? Isn't hunting and fishing an abuse?

It's a story about someone being "deformed" (literally in the quote) inside and out by violence, but it will become a fetish.

Really wish people learned to deal with the weird little thoughts in their heads and built trust that the things their brain conjures up and chooses to respond to does not reflect their morality. Your actions do. That's all this puritanical shit is. People scared of their own thoughts and feelings.

I am mad. Even if they didn't listen to the feedback, please keep posting your stuff here. You art is powerful and inspires many. It might never please everybody, even so, don't be stopped, don't be censored. Post and post and post, I want to see all creativity here. All of it. SFW. NSFW.

Let's start sharing the pics we brought to the art show at EF! This one was sold with a customized wood frame, carved by Folkwyn and adorned with gold foil. Love how dreamy this kitty looked, so we decided to title the art piece "Sognatore (Dreamer)". #EF29 #artshow #furryphotography #photofur

It's that time of year where the autumn colours are coming in 🍂

I simply cannot stress it enough. You cannot sit this out. They are coming for EVERYTHING. No media, no creators are safe under these policies. They want us poor, they want us criminalized, they want us disenfranchised. Call paypros. Call your reps. Do SOMETHING.

Vision and Biology of Seeing is a pretty good book and answers a lot of questions like this. I'm reading it again on my camping trip this weekend.

You have to know exactly what statue has to be awake and what has to be asleep, to get the other way safely... #furry #furryart

I love Japanese ukiyo-e paintings, so I tried my hand at creating a ukiyo-e-style version of “The Wolf and the Seven Little Goats.”

On this and all social media platforms,all artists NEED to support NSFW art. If your ace (like me) or don't like porn it doesn't matter. The freedom to draw nudity and sexually explicit work for adults shouldn't be demonized because some people find it offensive or refuse to parent their kids.

Please take a moment to fill in this form! To sum it uo: some community updates include vague rules about adult content that might end up causing a new wave of censorship. Let's be vocal about it and keep this community free from puritans ❤️

Anything by Jacques Bergier. All I've tried to read by him was pseudo-intellectual rambling that seemed designed to draw nerds into magical thinking and occultism. Not surprisingly, I later found out he's a culture hero of conspiracy theorists...

My works landed safely to Germany, so I'll have these in #eurofurence art show, thanks to Rhazz (I was sure he was on bsky but I can't find him). Prices will start low as I don't have to travel. Take a look if you are there! Buy these so he won't have to take them back! Help an agent! 💪 #furryart

I decided I will share most of the illustrations @scalerandiart.bsky.social has made for my series of books: Lost Stars! It's a furry dark fantasy trilogy and it's currently available from @fusselschwarm.bsky.social! Something new might be in the works 👀 Let's start with something spicy! 💦

Based on one of the warmup sketches I (try to) do regularly from various references. Many are studies of poses which aren't very interesting and are only worth doing for technical practice, but occasionally I stumble upon a pose that jolts my imagination and deserves a more complete drawing.

A key point in Fahrenheit 451 is that books were banned because they made people depressed and uncomfortable. The novel's protagonist, Montag, is taken into custody after he reads a poem that makes a woman cry because she realizes the emptiness of her life.

"Morning vision" From the last sketch I did during my wife's pregnancy, a few days before delivery. A vision that's not easily forgotten.

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

"Wait" I still hadn't posted the last couple drawings I did based on live sketches of my wife during pregnancy, even thought our second baby was born in June - healthy and with a super fast delivery too! This drawing also starring our cat Yuri.
