The Golden Bolf



A piece made as a tribute to good friend and a wonderfully enchanting artist! And next to all that she create amazing artwork that doesn't need an introduction. Anyone that knows her name, knows that it is synonymous for grand anthromorphic and fantasy art!

:icongoldenwolf: Goldenwolf's pendant features a fine silver head, and carries two sapphire eyes of 2mm each. The piece comes with an adjustable dark blue satin cord, that'll match nicely with that gorgeous golden hair of hers ;)

It will be coming with a personal surprise, but I won't post that until it has arrived ;)

Hope you like it Christy

Furry Night Live - Acts

Heya folks!

It's just under two months until the con, so if you've got an act you wanna do for the FNL, now is the time to start getting them in wether they're rough or nearly finished. We've got a handful of folks who've already submitted acts, but I know there's more out there.

We do not have forms for submitting acts this year, it's all about sending in your act wether it's a few paragraphs of description or a stageplay of several pages. That will give us a better idea of what to expect and address any challenges or concerns that might come up ahead of time. There will be no at-con submissions this year. Even if you aren't 100% sure you're going to do an act, or you are still working on it--even if it's a video you may not have done until a week before the con--still get a short description submitted to the FNL list to reserve your place, so to speak.

If you want in on the action, subscribe to the FNL list before or after sending your act description in to fnl-2010 at furtherconfusion.org

http://www.furtherconfusion.org/mailman/listinfo/fnl-2010


Also, because I've been a little delayed in the past couple months, I'm not going to be very draconic about getting stuff in by December 15th. If it's a little after, there will be no gnashing of teeth nor flames. :)

How to avoid a bad case of Con Crud this year.

There's a virulent strain of Flu going around, H1N1-2009-1, commonly known as Swine Flu. This in addition to the usual seasonal strain. Flu is something you want to avoid. Even tho the symptoms from these strains have been reported as mild. And there can be serious issues if you have an additional condition.

It's not just Flu we should worry about. There's also Norovirus, Rotavirus and the collection of infectious colds and stomach flus that make up the legion of 'Con Crud'. As well as a lot of other nasty infections you can pick up whenever a large crowd of people gather together for extended time.

So, considering the wide locations people are coming from and will be going back to, how can we avoid people at the con spreading flu or other things.

Wash Your Hands!


And by this I don't mean rub soap into them then rinse. Make sure to rub under your finger nails, and around your wrists too. You're going to want to wash your hands a little more often than normal, because of the number of people you'll be shaking hands with or patting on the back. Do not be the idiot who doesn't wash after going to the toilet, and then starts shaking other people's hands.

Hand sanitizer or wipes can substitute a little for washing your hands, if you're in a pinch. It's better than nothing, but a good wash with soap and hot water is always better.

Carry Tissues!


Catch sneezes, and coughs into a tissue, not onto someone else. Remember to throw the tissue away into a bin, don't carry dirty tissues around with you.

Be safe handling food, especially other peoples!


Yet again, wash your hands. Make sure your hands are clean before you eat.

If you are running a room party, wash your hands before touching anything someone else is going to put in their mouth. (No Sniggering!) Use clean plates, and utensil. Don't reuse things between people, such as glasses, unless you can properly wash or sterilise them first.

Don't leave things that should be refrigerated out for too long before the party. Particularly anything meat or dairy based. Under no circumstances should you serve people pre-cooked meats or dairy that have been unrefrigerated over night! Foods should be properly cooked, and served as soon after cooking as is feasible.

Make it easy for people to take their food without touching others. Ladles and tongs are a good idea!

Remember that it's ultimately up to you to keep your guest's food safe. When you offer someone a candybar, they can ask you if it's okay to ear. They can't ask a table of food if it's safe. So keep checking that table of food is okay. You might want to have someone keep a watch over food if it's a large party, or even handle serving food items. Well meaning people might bypass your keeping the food safe, by noticing the snack bowl is empty, and reaching into the potato chip bag with their hand to refill it.

If you're Ill, avoid people!


Even when the symptoms are mild, that's no excuse to 'slug it out' and by doing so spread it on to other people. If you're ill, don't try to struggle on when it's going to make other people ill too. Something that would exclude you from going into work should certainly keep you away from the con.

If you're feeling very ill before the con, remember that spending all your time laying in bed in a small hotel room away from the comforts of home is not going to be worth it. Yes, even if you have non-refundable train or plane tickets; lying in that hotel bed, you won't be thinking "at least I didn't waste the fare," you'll be thinking "I want my cat/tea kettle/partner/own pillow."

Avoid Hangovers!

Hangovers don't only make you feel crappy, they depress your immune system too, making you weaker and more vulnerable to infection. Drink to your limit, and make sure to rehydrate with water or a soft drink afterwards too.

Be Careful about what you Eat!

First of all, remember to eat. Going all day on just breakfast is bad for you. And try to eat healthily, don't over dose on sugars and fats and make yourself feel unwell at the end of the day.

Remember to watch out for the ingredients of what you eat, if you're new to the area, you might not know what's different in the dishes than you expect. Be extra careful when looking out for things you're allergic or intolerant to.

It's a bad thing when you discover that eating a certain kind of food makes you ill, worse when it spoils an entire event for you. If you really want to go with your friends to try out that new seafood dish they told you about, you might want to wait till the tail end of the convention.

Happy Turkey day, and all the jazz.
May your tummy's be full with delicious food and may you not gain any weight. Unless you're bruce. Then for the love of god, gain awaaaay.

I'm just eating some ramen to tide me over for dinner, which i think will be at around 5 or so. Sarah's back in town, yaay.

I'm thankful for my stable job, pets, and most of all my amazing friends. It's you guys who have made me as I am today, and without you, my life wouldn't be a happy one. I love you all so much!

My icon has a TURKEY vulture

Happy Thanksgiving. Don't dwell on the commercialism that comes with this holiday (i.e. Black Friday) Be thankful for the blessings you have.

We had my family (except my Dad, who was under the weather) for an early Dinner yesterday. It went rather well. The turkey was fantastic.
Today, we travel to spend the day with John's family. This is the first Thanksgiving that I will spend away from my family and with another's. I'm so nervous, but kinda exicted, too.

Saoirse Tattoo



A tattoo design, commissioned to fit either wrist of ankle.

The father of the commissioner had a knotwork dragon tattoo on his chest. After he fell ill with cancer, him and his wife decided that they would get unwound dragon tattoos when his journey was over. Sadly, he passed away in December 2008.

His daughter wanted a commission as a tribute and remembrance piece. She already had a peacock tattoo, and the animal meant a great deal to her. She wanted a tattoo with the two creatures intertwined.

I suggested an unwound dragon design, to signify that his journey was indeed over and that he is free. She liked that idea and so I set out to play.

The end result, a very tightly designed tattoo, in traditional styling. But where you can clearly see the dragons head should be following the pattern, and laying itself down to the design like the peacock, you can see the creature raise it's head and starting up with an almighty roar.

'Saoirse' written at the bottom, which is Gaelic for 'Freedom'

The Cat Returns ending song

I watched the Cat Returns today and I noticed that the melody (you know the instrumental if that's the right term) was the same as the one of my favourite song 'xiao shou la da shou' or Little Hands hold big hands by Fish Leong. What a coincidence! This wonderful song which I've listened to heaps of times also happens to be the melody of another J-Pop song written for my other addiction being Ghibli songs.

To cut to the chase, does anyone know who the name of the artist as well as the jpop song is? Also, which version came first? Did Fish Leong write a mandarin cover of this song or was it the other way around? Finally, which song do you like better? TheJapanese Cat Returns ending or the Chinese song 'xiao shou la da shou?'

Scratches Vol 3!

Hullo Good People of the Internet, Lonely Souls and Bi-curious By-Standers!

It's that time of year again--last year's seed has all been sown, the cows have come at home and it's time to hunker down and brace hard for that long cold season--but have no worry, friend! There's plenty of wood to fuel the fire!

The road has seen me come and go and in my travels I've spied many an unsatisfied soul--but have no care, I do have the answer! That's certainly right folks, the next best thing to a second right hand--the opus of appetite--guaranteed to pornicate the senses and lower your defenses--!

Have you got a hanker in your danker? A yearning to yank the yardstick? Want to get a little wet behind the ear, hot under the collar and add a little lust to your libido?

Have no worries, the miracle cure has come--again!

I come before you bearing the latest edition of eroticism--the compendium of carnality--Scratches Volume 3! This finely honed mixture of graphite, paint, paper and perspiration has brought satisfaction to some, enjoyment to everyone and messes to most! Guaranteed to elate your lust, inspire thrusts and never rust!

Hey now, am I going to fast for you? My pardons! Just what is it, you want to know! Well, I want to tell you!

It's a CD, jam packed and well lubricated with over 120 high-resolution porn-o-graphic images, over 100 never before online! This dog and pony show is one you can't miss! Lions and tigers and bear, oh my!

That's right, your eyes don't deceive you--unseen and unposted sketches, many colored pieces done in mixed media and several fully painted pieces lie in wait for your libido on this innocent lookin' disk! The volume is lousy with lions, lecherous leopards, hard huskies and frisky foxes! Titillating tigers, excited elk, horny hyenas, hung horses and other arduous animals abound!

This volume boasts even more bang for your buck and includes 2 full color comics--the unseen color version of the Chance Happenstance comic featured in Heat 4 at 6 pages, and the second, a n're before seen, mentioned or heard of 10 page painted comic about a young donkey fellow and his run in with a Mongolian stud. What, you say? What! Well, you have to see to believe every inch of it!

Straight** down to business:

For a mere $26 USD (which includes shipping, anywhere!) you get a CD filled with over 120 adult pencil sketches, colored pencil works, paint scribbles, two color comics--all high-resolution at at least 1200 pixels long or wide. Over 100 images have yet to find their way onto the Internet!

A picture's worth 1,000 words, am I right? Here's a sample to wet your whistle!

~Scratches Vol 3~

- Over 120 images, 100 not online!
- All male/male
- Only $26 USD (includes shipping!)


Just how do you get this third volume of the Scratches collection into your eager paws, you wonder? Quite simple and hassle free!
Email me at screwbald@gmail.com and I'll tell you everything you need to know about getting this miracle product in the post to you, as soon as possible! (If I don't respond right quick, it's likely I'm attempting to drown in a local beer, have lapsed into a turkey coma or I'm out concocting capers with the company--but I'll get back to you soon as bail money comes through!)


The CD will be shipped in a slim DVD case for your own (and it's) protection, packaged in a bubble mailer by USPS First Class.
Questions, comments, curiosities--feel free to email!


Cheers and Salutations,
Dr. Blotch***

Project Girl Love!

I decided to pimp this group because what I think they are doing is fantastic! You guys should all check it out! http://www.furaffinity.net/user/projectgirllove/

The group was made by Pensive: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/pensive (Listed below is what is on the PGL front page:)

"A lot of people (myself included, sometimes) complain about how much girlhate there is on FA (ie, comments on pictures of women saying things like "eww girls" or "this would've been better male :C"), but no one has done anything to change that so far. Being who am and hating complaining but doing nothing about it, I finally AM doing something. I'm starting a just-for-fun project for people like me to want to see more art of women on FA!

What do you have to do? Not much. Guidelines:

1. MUST be a new piece of art done specifically for this project. the purpose is to draw MORE, not just advertise your old art!
2.--If you're a girl, draw yourself as an artistic nude---ie, nonsexual nudity (if you don't draw nudity you can exclude the mature bits).
--If you're male, draw yourself as an artistic nude as a girl instead of a guy (or draw one of your female characters, or your girlfriend, or a friend, with permission, same thing).
--If you don't draw at all, ask a friend to do the above for you (or if you have the cash, commission someone).
3. Obviously all skill levels are welcome, novice to Da Vinci, as well as any and all media (2D OR 3D!)
4. When you finish the picture link me to it by sending me a note on this account and I'll upload your picture to this account for everyone to see and admire (linking back to you as the artist, as well, so extra pimpage for you!). If you happen to post the pic to your FA, though, please atleast return the favor and link to this account. ;)

So...what will this do? Probably nothing at all, but atleast you're doing something more productive with your time than just complaining! ;)"


So, it's pretty simple. Draw a new picture of a female character (yours, a friend's, girlfriend's, made-up, whatever!" that is a tasteful nude (non-sexual!) and submit it to this group! (Or cover the naughty bits tastefully if you don't like to draw nudes!)

I think this is absolutely AMAZING and I am glad that someone is standing up to fA's girl-hate in a fun, productive manner. I hope this group gets big and it gets the message across that you can't put someone down just because of their gender!

In regards to my mistake

Things are being resolved privately, and therefor all things surrounding this matter will be kept between the two of us.

I do wish to thank everyone for their support and wishes of healing to us, it is a very tough situation on us both

just a silly polaroid for a video project I threw together real fast today. if I can figure out how to edit it well enough, I'll post it here once I'm done.

also, this is sadly my very last polaroid for the time being. I ordered some film, but I currently live in crummy student housing without much security. I think someone else signed for the package when it arrived and I will never see it again :( does anyone know if there are any stores in rotterdam that still sell polaroids? also, if I were to go to enschede, NL, and begged the impossible project for some film, do you think I would be successful? hahahahah

Ponyo Region 1 Release Date?

I was wondering if anyone here knew the precise date for the US Ponyo DVD release.
Someone on wiki said it was on 10 Feb 2010, while videoETA has it listed for sometime in January 2010.

My google-fu has been rusty tonight. Can anyone answer my question?
