Your Hand

" You caress my cheek, a place where you are so close to my eyes, my face, my nose, my hair, my ears: a very personal spot. I start to cry. I feel your hand upon my cheek, your thumb trailing under my eye to collect the tears that escape. I can feel the warmth of your hand pressing against that cold spot on my face. It warms me - it gives me comfort. Your fingers lace around my hair and play with it as you rub my cheek. I felt you slowly starting to take your hand away. I hold it in place and give you a small look: please keep it there. Its the only spot that you can touch that will calm me down and put me at ease... "

- Ookami Kemono

CEASE Animal Cruelty

“I was born in this cage.
I never felt the cool breeze of the outdoors.
I never walked the soft gravel of the earth.
I never smelled the scent of flowers.
I never heard the wind brushing through the leaves.

I only feel the humid air in this enclosure.
I only walk on the cold metal ground of the cage.
I only smell the blood and fear of other helpless animals.
I only hear the cries and soon silence of my brothers and sisters.

I never experienced freedom.
I never experienced a full life.

I don’t want to die in here.”


There are a few posters of CEASE posters on the T: images of animals in cages at a farm and other NO FUR related concepts. Later, I randomly saw animal rights activists near the commons. Inspired me to draw this sad image.

FurFright Design

This images was a small experiment dealing with connecting images and characters. Took me roughly 2 days to draw and ink it on a 11 x 14 bristol board using only a .5 ink pen, so yeah, took a while for detail.

I was thinking of a cool T-Shirt design for furfright so I came up with this idea. This is my last art submission to furfright, making it #20 submission. I just need to do some badges and Im all set for 2010.

...to know youre still alive...

" I just snapped... That last insult drove that rusty nail into my soul. I can't take it anymore. There is so much for me to handle alone. My fingernails rake against my arm. I see myself bleeding, but I don't feel the pain. Too diluted from what I'm feeling now. If I bleed, that means I'm still alive...

I'm weak. Their strong. Because they are strong, does that give them any reason to tease me, to abuse me, to hurt me? Does it give them every right to push you away because my will is weaker than theirs? Am I just one of their puppets that they can swing about and break my strings?

So much pain and anger, given to me by other people... Stupid bullies... Assholes... Are you happy now? I'm bleeding because of you... "


Stop the hate.

Feather Touch

"I have a large chest. He loves me in my tight shirt. I wear it without a bra on. He loves the roundness of my breasts as it hugged against the fabric of my shirt. I pull the front down and arch my back for him. He grabs the feather that I requested... He started to trace it against my breasts and nipples...I couldn't help but squirm an blush shyly..."

Reminded me of one person years ago. Haven't heard from her in years...until the night I was coloring this...

Rib Cage

Did this last night while watching "American Artifact: The Rise of American Rock Poster Art". It was very inspiring and desided to go back in making large images, almost poster art in some way. This idea came to me while listening to "E-Nomine: Das Tier In Mir". Even though the song is about werewolves, before I read the translated lyrics, I thought about a story where The Devil trying to convert a trapped bunny angel into becoming a demon.

Done on Bristol Board, 11x14, pen and ink.

Meal Waiting

A long day at work. 8 hours long. Under one company roof, selling their stupid products. Every hour, my energy drains, and my sadness is harder to hide behind the false smile for customers. The travel back was long and tiring. My stomach is empty and my body is weak. When I got to my door, the smell of food entered my nose. I found my friend, making dinner. I asked her why, and she said that she was making it for me. She told me that I had to have something to come home to, a good reason. A weak smile formed onto my muzzle.

There are days, when I exit from work, that I want to come home to some well-cooked meal...But I just find the cat begging for food...

Over Dressed

"Friday night: Party Night, date night, the start of the weekend. Whatever you want to call it. Every Friday night in the college district, everyone dresses up and goes out to enjoy themselves at bars, clubs, gatherings and party places. Now I'm getting dressed. Single and looking, I try to find the right outfit, but am I over dressed?

I have seen girls that wear much less. Some just wear a short dress and nothing else under it. Am I over dressed or should I expose more fur? What exactly do single guys on a Friday night look for in a girl physically?"

Door Stop

"It was getting late. It is time for me to go home. We did our homework project together. It took for hours. I have to catch the last bus back home. He held the door open for me. I took one step out, but stopped myself. My hand rested upon the frame of the door. What was a second of hesitation felt like several minutes.

The feeling of leaving a joyous place made my heart feel heavy. Our time went by so quickly that I never really savored the moment. What reason do I have to go back home? What is waiting for me? Do I want to go home? Do I want to feel alone in my own room?

I turn to him and asked him a last minute question."

Sometimes it’s hard to leave a place you feel comfortable in.

Night Thoughts

"The night is clear,
the moon is full,
the breeze is gentle
and the air is quiet.

"The smell of bbq filled my nose as I stared into the city from my balcony. The moon lights my balcony and the light from my window gives it color. My drink rests upon the edge, reflecting the street light and moon. The water is boiling on the stove, the noodle box open next to it. Time to myself. Time to my thoughts. Time to ponder about life and myself.

"So much going through my mind. I have more thoughts than stars in the sky. One by one, I go through them as I take in the cold air into my lungs, losing myself in the abyss of memories and worries.

I better check my noodles now..."

Calvin Klein Spoof

This was something i was kicking around until I managed to finish it today. I saw this ad on TV for Calvin Klein with a bunch of different people in a line up, describing themselves as they wore the jeans and perfume. I was thinking about what if they were Furries and if each defined a "fetish" in the furry genre. This picture is meant to be ironic because the models are BBW and you have PussyCat on the side who is skinny and somewhat of furry version of a skinny Calvin Klein girl who is evnious for the other girls bodies. Its much like a reverse effect with pudgy girls being envious over the skinny models.

Line up "fetish": BBW, Herms, Cows, Multiple Breasts, Skinny Girls

The Truth Hurts

Diary 1/5 9:30pm

" I ended up hurting a good friend of mine, all for telling the truth and being honest. I didn't meant to hurt her at all, but it was something I really had to say. I broke up with Jean today, Diary. It was a hard one, but I felt like it was the only time I could tell her what was on my mind."
