I got rid of the YCH auction ads on here since the deadline came and went with no takers, but if anyone here wants it later on I'll keep it available for private offers until the end of October. I'll post an ad for that once I finish my current commissions 🥲

Custom commissions are open again!

This is the final push before our big move—I may not be open for a while next month because of that, so now's the best time to request anything.

(Shares help lots, thanks!)
#furryart #commsopen #fursale

Text reads: "Commissions are OPEN!
(see form link for examples and prices)
We're a queer couple who'll be moving across the country next month; this opening is the **final push** to raise funds!"

Too late to post in time for #FursuitFriday, but not for #InternationalRabbitDay! I hope all of my bnnuy mutuals had a fun day today :3

“Just be yourself” can sound like cliché and bad advice, because honestly, it goes badly sometimes. It can hurt. Some people will reject you. But the reason it’s worth it is that when things do work out, it’s with people who really like the real you, and that feels so much better than pretending.

Since it's Pippi's birthday, I'm also gonna take today to showcase some of my favorite plush pics from this past year. Hopefully next year I get to take even more!

Pippi plush posing next to a group of zebras during a trip to a safari park. One of the zebras is looking right at the camera.

Pippi plush sitting on one of the concrete blocks near the edge of the waterfront at the DLCC. They're wearing a black/blue kandi bracelet with a sparkly paw print charm as a collar.

Pippi plush, wearing the same kandi bracelet, posed upright with other Club Scragster plushies during the AC group meetup at the Westin!

It's wild saying this out loud but as of today, Pippi is a whopping fifteen years old. And they're still being actively drawn and taken to cons!

Happy Birthday, Pippi!! 🎊🐶🎊

#furryart #flannyart

Digital doodle of Pippi (any pronouns), a small white dog, sitting back while holding a brown birthday cake in their paws. On top of the cake is two blue candles that spell out "15". Behind them reads the words, "Happy Birthday! 09.25.2025".

About a year ago I was approached by Scholastic to pitch sketch ideas for the reprinting of Animorphs. After cryingscreamingbarfing I said YES OF COURSE. I am so grateful to have been chosen and for the enthusiasm everyone has expressed so far. David Mattingly left me some very big shoes to fill!

New cover for Animorphs #1 "THE INVASION." A boy with brown hair in a denim jacket, red shirt and green pants back flips into an anole lizard, completing the transformation in four total steps.

New cover for Animorphs #2 "THE VISITOR." A girl with blonde hair wearing a black crop top, high waisted baggy green jeans and pink sneakers jumps across the page, turning into a tuxedo cat.

New cover for Animorphs #3 "THE ENCOUNTER." A boy with dirty blonde hair in a baggy purple shirt, blue-grey jeans and yellow All star sneakers leaps from the top of the cover downwards, transforming into a red-tailed hawk.

God of course I find out AFTER posting this that it is in fact NATIONAL Fox Day and the international date is different but y'know what, I'm keeping it as-is 😭

Man if I knew they were gonna rerelease this design ahead of time I would've saved my photo for today lol, but here's when I showcased it earlier this week: bsky.app/profile/flan...

The pride festival in Memphis was rescheduled to today after getting rained out in June, so I decided to stop by last-minute this afternoon.

Photo of Flan wearing their fursuit head over a Trans Rights tank top, sitting in the grass at the Overton Park Shell. The stage is lit in rainbow colors and many LGBTQ+ attendees are crowded by the front!

Flan 🐇 @flanderpelt.bsky.social · 23d

Oh!!! Since a lot of people at Memphis Pride were asking me where I got my tank top, this is the store where I bought it from!

Sadly the tank option is gone, but you can still get the shirt and have part of the proceeds help the legal fight for our rights. Highly recommend!! 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵

I don't have a lot to share for International Fox Day that I haven't already posted, but I did make a sample icon for @leofox.bsky.social on the side
💕🦊💕

#furryart #flannyart

Icon of Leo, an orange/blue fox with gray markings, that's colored in using monochrome, reddish screentones instead of their normal colors. Their hands are gently clasped together as they look off to the side with a sheepish smile.
