Welcome new followers! I'm a painter from Italy working mostly in oils. I create anthro animals, #furryart, furry solarpunk and ecology inspired stuff. I often paint/draw nudes or NSFW art so 🔞.

An anthropomorphic female wolf in a forest, leaning on a fallen tree and smiling at the viewer. On her side there is an old battered sign that reads "Beware of wolves".

An anthropomorphic female lynx angel, with black crow wings and a plate armor. She is descending from a fiery sky upon a landscape of ruins.

An anthropomorphic female hippo wrapped in a decorated pareo, surrounded by oxpeckers and butterflies. She looks tough and rugged, as if she has just been in a fight, and she glances confidently at the viewer.

An anthropomorphic female winged fox with a colorful fur pattern that reminds the plumage of macaws. She is sitting on a dirty concrete platform and two actual macaws are rubbing against her with affection.

A quote from my art book that seems kinda relevant given the persistent controversies around adult art. Who gets to set the rules of imagination? It's literally the question that spawned the furry fandom.

"Pinned (volunteer)", cropped detail

I'm not sure whether I could post the full version of this painting here, so I'd rather not risk. If you are curious it's not hard to figure out where to find it.

Spot on comment about the constant calls for art censorship. Complaining about fiction is easy and lazy. Working on real problems is hard, but that's what the actually good, moral people do. Censoring a few drawings isn't going to reduce anyone's suffering.

Stigmata 🤟🐵🚯 @jonathanvair.bsky.social · 8d

If you hate seeing dub/noncon in art and you want less of it in the world, build some third spaces. Help organize accountability in your faith communities. Build local harm reduction resources.

If you'd rather just complain, may life help you understand the genre eventually.

Commissioned drawing of a barn owl. The owl is drawn from the side, it has a subtle crown made of decaying sunflower petals. The image is very low saturation. Background is black. Multimedia.

Experimental canopic jars I made for my QCCC crew over on Patreon ✨✨

These were some of the best cylinders I've ever thrown on the wheel, and I'm excited to apply what I've learned from making these towards future things.

#art #pottery

A group of 8 ceramic canopic jars that feature a variety of animal heads for the lid of the jar. There are a group of wolves, a bear, a dragon, and an own. They were all painted with black underglaze and feature a variety of sgraffito marks and details.

At this point it's safe to assume that any social network is/will be just a temporary encampment for us furry artists. Even the smartest, most well intentioned, perfectly decentralized project will always be a few fat checks away from corporate takeover (or, failing that, political crackdown).

"Do not share content depicting animal abuse, torture, fighting, staged rescues, or wildlife exploitation." But then "These rules do not prevent you from sharing content about hunting, fishing, and other legal wildlife activities." Really, bluesky? Isn't hunting and fishing an abuse?

It's a story about someone being "deformed" (literally in the quote) inside and out by violence, but it will become a fetish.

Banning any depictions of non-consent means banning "The Morning Visitor" by Dino Buzzati.

The phrase "le usó violenza" in the original Italian specifically refers to rape.

I have marked this post as graphic due to the visuals and subject matter.

Really wish people learned to deal with the weird little thoughts in their heads and built trust that the things their brain conjures up and chooses to respond to does not reflect their morality. Your actions do. That's all this puritanical shit is. People scared of their own thoughts and feelings.

I am mad.

Even if they didn't listen to the feedback, please keep posting your stuff here.

You art is powerful and inspires many. It might never please everybody, even so, don't be stopped, don't be censored.

Post and post and post, I want to see all creativity here.

All of it.

Let's start sharing the pics we brought to the art show at EF!
This one was sold with a customized wood frame, carved by Folkwyn and adorned with gold foil.

Love how dreamy this kitty looked, so we decided to title the art piece "Sognatore (Dreamer)".

I simply cannot stress it enough.

You cannot sit this out.

They are coming for EVERYTHING. No media, no creators are safe under these policies. They want us poor, they want us criminalized, they want us disenfranchised.

Call paypros. Call your reps. Do SOMETHING.

Woke up to quite the update on this. I had been in contact with Payment Cloud about getting their service and they waited until now to hit me with the image below. Again, stringing me along instead of being upfront. They had seen my website multiple times before this.

An image taken from an e-mail from Payment Cloud to me. They list prohibited adult work, one of which just includes "Fantasy" which is as wide as cat ears and fairies. We are so cooked.
