I dunno how this double-stuffed cookie ended up in here during Nut November, but I guess it's fine.

Nut November, and it was about time we had a pawjob, no?

Yep that sounds like one of my books alright.
Thanks for sticking with it!
Oh no, the little guy loses his tophat later :O

(I started this ebook and it's certainly interesting. A lot of the passages are densely written, and I have gotten a bit overwhelmed with the history and culture expositions, but I'll stick with it <3 ...(ADHD is just a bitch at times) )

A few folks seemed confused about this one, so I'm re-posting just in case it was unknown to other vendors going to @furfest.org
YES, they have an IP rule in place, it's existed for several years now, it's right on their website. I pull my few fanart pieces every year before this con. Good to know!

Shockingly, right here on the internet *gasp* people are getting upset over things they've imagined I said, rather than the words I actually said.
Anyway in the meantime, here's some fanart I've drawn over the years! I actually do indulge, from time to time.

Man you come after Nick Wilde in the furry fandom and you get the claws. Woof.
For the record, I just find him... boring. Hot take. Also, funky proportions. Just not my thing. Don't cancel me because I think a fictional fox has kinda a big head.

i started selling art at cons in 2015, and for my first few years i heavily relied on making fan art b/c i thought it would bring attention to my other work.

but once my own creations became my focus, that's where i found success. fan art is fun but don't be afraid to make your own thing too! 🧡
Nothing But Fanart.
This is probably the one likely to get me the most hate, but seriously. Make something of your own, I'm begging you. For your own good as well as ours, you have no control over what happens to an IP you don't own, and that's a huge risk to take (see: Harry Potter fanartists)

We’ve had this repeated to us in graphic design. Integrate styles from other designers and art movements as inspiration, but develop your own style at the same time. Being able to both emulate and create original work just makes you a better creative at the end of the day.

I feel like this may have gotten lost in all the discourse, but I'm not a fanart hater. I LOVE fanart, create it, buy it, fav it, allow it for my characters
I have a Bachelors in Animation with a specialty in Conceptual Art and Character Design (RIT)
I just think it shouldn't be ALL you draw or sell

Time to make some enemies! No one asked, but here's a list of invasive products / businesses I would personally very much like to see BANNED from Furry Convention Dealers Dens, Maker's Markets and Artist Alleys. These are rare and valuable markets built by REAL craftspeople over decades, NOT for:

Then you should care when that space is being taken over by AI, resellers, and Capital-holders who profit off other people's labor. You know, the people who 'pay the bills' and act as landlords over other people's creativity?
Fake-ass. Regulation isn't gatekeeping, that's a right wing argument.

Has someone offered you a hotel room for #Anthrocon 2026 already? Chances are, it's probably not legit 🤔

🏨 Official hotel block bookings will start around February 2026
❓ Always verify the legitimacy of any offer
💳 Never give money in advance if you're not sure
