Performing, whether out of necessity or for pleasure, is a lot of work! And furry spaces often encourage performing, to various effects on us.

Would you describe your experience as a form of burn-out? I've seen you put a lot of labor into the local community lately (thinking of your panel and the outing your organized at Furrest City).

But yeah I feel that! I think we underestimate how much effort it takes to navigate furry social things!

A photograph of a drawing propped up atop a drink coaster. It is a drawing of foxes playing on the computer. An inset drawing of the computer screen shows text reading “Oregon Tail- Start- You have: A- a partial. B- a fullsuit C- a taursuit.” Three quadrupedal foxes above them walk along with two biting the tails of the first and second in line. The first looks back incredulously.

Some Artist Trading Cards of Me as a Blue Dog I drew at our ATC draw and swap at #WPAFW! 💙

(The little pink thing I'm holding is a sticker lol!)

You might recognize Comic Panel Pass from this year's Anthrocon. It's a common drawing game in comix world: draw a panel and pass it along. But I am copying the wildly successful format by the prolific @chocend.bsky.social almost exactly, and I am using their name for it too.

GabuMatt @gabumatt.bsky.social · 13d

Next week at Western PA Furry Weekend I will be leading FOUR drawing activities!

1) The sketchbook swap 📒
2) Artist Trading Card Making and Trading 🖌
3) Comic Panel Pass 🗯
4) YCH Boss ✍️

There will be LOTS of opportunities to draw together at #WPAFW!
