Otter getting some sun, saying goodbye 2025!

More draw overs—and better ones—next year!
Aspen with a quick otter draw over, in a Gary oak meadow overlooking a lake. He’s wearing a pair of binoculars. The sun beams onto the otter; the sun recharges him.

bye 2025👋
3 panel-comic of a black cat that is sitting close to the number 2025, then looks at it and then pushes it down, so that 2025 drops from the table.

The questing stoat returns for a quick update.
watercolor comic. The questing stoat (in ermine winter fur) approaches an "inn," which is really just a tree stump serving as a bar counter. A pine marten with apron and whiskers combed as a handlebar mustache is polishing a mug. Stoat: Greetings, humble innkeep. I have been questing for many days. What news have you of the outside world? Marten: Disney is making a Gaston origin movie. Stoat: .... Stoat: That's f**king stupid.

"billionaire positivity"
how about a very positive pressure differential
Very well done mural on a wall in Seattle, i'm told it's close to the former headquarters of OceanGate. Against a black background, large white-outlined capitals filled with a gradient of blue that approaches black toward the bottom, read: The Rich Are Good People Deep Down". Next to the text is an image of OceanGate's Titan submersible

My favourite little piece from 2025, this’ll definitely get printed as a die cut sticker soon. #otter #furryart (kinda?)

Spent the weekend in Vancouver with my mate and the deer—went to Contact! The first night was not quite to our tastes (and a bit of a shit show; too little organization for the amount of folks); but night two was great from Spencer Brown to Eric Prydz!

A sticker request from the mate; well, kinda, it’s hard to put a jockstrap on an otter (or at least, I just can’t picture it), so it turned into briefs.

Feral Hearts

Two odd beings find tenderness, or a quiet kind of love that doesn’t need naming. What they find together may be love, or safety, or simply the relief of being seen. The world around them mirrors this truth: bones feed roots, insects thrive, and so-called unwanted beings persist. -

Digital painting. Abstract yellow and grey background of beach chairs. A trim and muscular brown anthro otter rests his plantigrade foot on his leg, sole pointed in the direction of the viewer. He has snakebite piercings. Yellow particles from the underpainting come through the surface of the character art.

Amazing how a bunch of broke-ass furries can keep churning out amazing art, stories and animations constantly but billion-dollar companies are like “nooo we need AI, making stuff is haaard and our investors want more moneyyy.”
