Étant Donnés.

Drawing of a view from a window in a dark room out to a shallow yard almost fully paved over in sidewalk cement, small blades of grass poking up from the gridlines of the sidewalk, drenched in stark sunlight. A living pooltoy with large mitten-like hands and feet is doing a sidestand pose of some sort. He/it is backed by a plain white fence with a line of grass poking up from where the paving meets the fence, and you can just about see the top of the roof of the neighboring house and the distant treeline behind it.

The Pop.

A dragon pooltoy with a large taut inflated belly sitting down on a blurry abstract landscape, taking up most of the picture plane, superimposed by a giant dark star-shaped hole with a mouthless, blushing and sweating cartoon face in the center of it.

attention!

did you make an itch.io game that was caught up in the deletion/delisting spree despite not having adult content? simply for the crime of being queer or furry?

i wanna hear from you and see the game in question. planning something for august aqualounge

Thanks to everyone who supported the show, in-person and from afar; This has been a life-defining experience for me, and I couldn't be happier with everything we managed to do with this show.

Our closing will start soon!! Come see our very own retro poster in the style of Sy Sable by @uglygirlswag.bsky.social featuring @lordpook.bsky.social, on view in the gallery for today only ;3

A black and white poster of a dragon furry and a lynx furry sitting around a computer with air canada gal on the screen. The dragon asks, "THAT'S contemporary furry art?", to which the lynx responds, "PURRRR...! And there's more where that came from!"

Room Party's closing reception is listed for July 20th, 12-4PM at Bunker Projects on 5106 Penn Ave

Putting this show together with @uglygirlswag.bsky.social, @aski.bsky.social, and @hypertyping.bsky.social has been one of the most meaningful and important things I have ever been a part of. I've spent 15 years dreaming of a moment like this in the fandom, and we made it happen! Get ready for AC!
