Furry artists/publishers/publications list, part 1 of 3
Mark Phaedrus
Usenet, anyway; I have no idea how many parts it will show up in on the other
nets. :) ) It's still not particularly close to complete, but it's getting
there. Thanks to all the people who made additions and corrections.
LIST OF FURRY ARTISTS/PUBLISHERS/PUBLICATIONS: 7/4/93

Permission is required before distributing or selling edited versions of the

The list has been researched carefully, but almost certainly still

artist, publisher or publication.
There, I think that's all the legalese anyone asked me to put in... :)
THANKS
Many thanks to all the people who contributed, particularly to Lia Graf
and Greywolf.
WHAT THE LIST IS ABOUT
There's been a lot of discussion about the public distribution of
artists' work through photocopies and GIFs, and how difficult it can be for
an artist to protect his or her work from unauthorized distribution, and for
a fan to know whether a particular copy or GIF is authorized or not. Others
(myself included) have commented on how difficult it can be for a new fan to
get in touch with artists and publishers, unless he or she has some ready
source of information (like a knowledgeable and helpful fellow fan, a nearby
convention, or a good fanzine); legwork can go a long way, but you still need
somewhere to start.
I hope that this list will eventually do something to reduce both
problems. By listing a wide variety of members of the furry community, it
should give novices a good head start in becoming active (and buying) fans
instead of just viewers of the occasional GIF that comes their way (and
perhaps even tip experienced fans off to a few sources they otherwise might
have missed). And, by giving artists an avenue to explain their policies on
public distribution of their works, it should hopefully reduce at least the
accidental unauthorized distribution of people's hard work, if not intentional
piracy. (And even against the pirates, it may at least help somewhat to
undermine the "I didn't know it wasn't authorized" defense...)
WHAT'S ON THE LIST
Artists, publishers, and publications are listed separately. For each
artist, the following information is given, or at least as much as is
available. (Publishers and publications have slightly different formats,
but they're pretty self-explanatory.)
Address:
Both email and physical addresses are given, if known. Where the artist
has given a preference between them, the preferred address is listed
first.
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
| IMPORTANT: Please bear in mind that, with no exceptions that I |
| know of, furry art is not a full-time job; everyone on this list |
| has something else to do to pay the bills, and many have families |
| as well. They have lives, usually very busy ones. Even many of |
| the publishers listed here are one-person, sideline operations. |
| So, if you learn the street address of an artist or publisher |
| (through this list or any other source), and you happen to live |
| in the area, DO NOT take this as a license to drop by uninvited! |
| This is an invasion of the artist's privacy, plain and simple. |
| Furthermore, it is very rude to place an unsolicited phone call |
| to an artist. If you want to talk to the artist by telephone, or |
| meet the artist personally, please write the artist, ask |
| politely, and give your phone number so the artist can contact |
| you at his or her convenience. And be prepared to take "no" for |
| an answer. |
| If a particular artist or publisher does not mind receiving |
| unsolicited phone calls or visitors, that artist or publisher |
| will have specifically said so in his or her entry here. (The |
| fact that an artist's number is listed in the White Pages, or |
| available from Directory Assistance, is not an invitation to |
| call!) |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
Authorized distribution (if any):
This describes which works are authorized for distribution by others,
and in what formats/under what circumstances (GIFs, photocopies,
particular authorized sites or individuals, etc.). If no information is
given for a particular artist, you should probably assume that that
artist has not authorized any such distribution, unless you have
contacted the artist yourself.
Availability of samples:
If the artist or publisher has a catalog or sample pieces available,
this section describes what you need to do to get them.
Pricing structure:
This gives the price the artist usually charges for various types of
work--photocopies, prints, originals, etc. Many artists and
publishers price their works individually without a fixed schedule,
so many artists will have nothing listed here, and prices listed
here should generally be taken as advisory only until confirmed by
the artist or publisher.
Some works currently for sale:
Pretty self-explanatory; a list of some (but probably not all) of the
works an artist or publisher is currently selling. Many artists and
publishers don't work with a fixed inventory this way, so they may not
have anything listed here; this most definitely does not mean they
do not sell their works--it just means that you should contact them
directly for a current list.
Commissions:
If the artist or publisher handles commissions (works of art done to
order for a particular client), this section describes what sort of
work they will do for you, and possibly a rough idea of how long it may
take and what the cost will be. Commissions are one area where many
factors come into play in determining the price, so be sure to negotiate
the price directly with the artist or publisher up-front, to avoid
unpleasant surprises later on.
Other information:
Any information that doesn't fall into one of the above categories will
go here.
Information obtained from:
This indicates whether information was obtained directly from the artist,
or through another source (an advertisement, a comic or fanzine mention,
etc.).
POLICIES:
*To add or correct information on the list, just send email to me,
phae...@halcyon.com; send mail to P.O. Box 45651, Seattle, WA
98145-0651; or harass Corren on FurryMUCK.
*I'll take information from anyone, though I'll certainly give an
artist's information on him/herself priority over other people's
information on that artist. I will also withdraw any information at an
artist's request. (The only exception to "I'll take information from
anyone" is telephone numbers; in order for these to be listed, they
must be given by the artist, who must say that they don't mind
receiving unsolicited phone calls. I will call and/or write to confirm
this before listing a telephone number.)
*Just about all I ask is that information be kept reasonably brief and
reasonably objective. I reserve the right to edit people's information,
but I'll only do so in the interests of length, or to bring the material
into the format of the list (and possibly to correct spelling and minor
grammar errors; this is a list of information, not a spelling bee :) ).
I will bend over backwards to avoid changing content or meaning. If for
some reason I have a particular objection with a certain piece of
material appearing on the list, I will let you know and give you the
opportunity to change it.
*Negative comments on other artists/publishers/etc. are not allowed on
the list; there are plenty of other venues for flamewars, thank you very
much. :) If a particular artist or publisher generates a storm of
negative comment, my response would probably be to just remove the entry
from the list until I have a chance to look into the problem.
*I've done my best to avoid errors, but frankly I'd be surprised if there
aren't any. Please let you know if you spot some, and I'll correct them
as soon as possible.
*Feedback on these policies is more than welcome.
Notes:
(This section is intended to give hints to fans who may not be
familiar with the mechanics of fandom and ordering. I welcome people's
suggestions for what to put in here.)
*A "SASE" is a Self-Addressed Stamped Envelope, which many artists and
publishers ask you to send when writing for a catalog or samples (and
the one who don't ask would probably still appreciate). Be sure to use
an envelope large enough for whatever you're expecting back; at a
minimum, use a business-sized (#10) envelope. Also, include enough
postage; many catalogs are more than one ounce (and thus take more
than one stamp), and oversized envelopes may need extra postage as
well.
*If you're not sure how much postage to include, you may want to
include a few extra loose stamps in the envelope. In the US, self-
adhesive stamps are available at the Post Office and at some cash
machines; these come in small sheets that can be easily cut into
strips of three, so you can include a strip in an envelope without
having to worry about the stamps becoming gummy and sticking to the
contents of the envelope in transit.
*Sending cash in the mail is dangerous (though it may be the most
practical way of sending small amounts to a foreign artist--see below);
a check or money order is a better choice. US postal money orders have
a 75c fee for any denomination, and are only valid in the U.S. and (I
believe) Canada. Be careful in filling out a money order; mistakes
can invalidate it. International money orders are available, though
they are more expensive and somewhat more tedious to get.
*When sending mail to a foreign country, remember to check with the
Postal Service to find out the correct postage and customs regulations,
and allow several weeks' worth of extra time for the artist's reply.
Also, placing stamps on a self-addressed envelope sent to a foreign
country is useless; the other country's postal service will not honor
them. Instead, your post office can sell you an International Reply
Coupon, a coupon which the recipient can exchange for the appropriate
stamps. Note that the coupon is good for the _minimum_ postage for an
airmail letter sent from that country to a foreign one, which usually
translates into a _very_ light letter (about a half-ounce). In all
likelihood, whatever you are requesting will be heavier than that, so
you should send at least two IRC's to allow some leeway.
*Paying a foreign artist by domestic check is also next to useless; for
the amounts typically involved in these transactions, the artist would
have to pay more to cash the check than he/she would receive from it.
As mentioned above, domestic money orders are typically not valid in
other countries either. Ask the artist what his/her preferred method of
payment is.

Address: P.O. Box 44285, Tucson, AZ 85733-4285
Authorized distribution (if any):
I do not authorize the distribution of my work by others. I have
very "hard" copyrights. I'm especially against my work being
scanned into computer BBS'es, where is can be recopied and altered
endlessly.
Availability of samples:
I have a free catalog available for anyone who'll send me a first-
class mail stamp.
Some works currently for sale:
*Karno's Klassics, my self-published title. 8.5x5.5 minicomics,
each 12 pages or more. Cost: $1 each; $.30 postage for one, $.50
total postage for two or more.
*Klassics Specials. 8.5x11 comic magazines, usually 20-24 pages.
Cost: $2.50 each; $.75 postage for 1, $1.50 total for two or
more (plus any number of regular Klassics).
*Subscriptions are available--send me money, and I'll send you
Karno's until it runs out.
[Many Karno's contain explicit sexual material; an over-21 age
statement is required to order.]
*Refer to catalog for other works and price lists. Prints usually go
for about $5 apiece.
Commissions:
Yes, I do commissions. But I'm selective. For commissions, prices
start at $15 for a simple, 1-character B&W sketch. Color prices
start at $20 and go up from there. Price of commission depends on
complexity and size. I've done pieces for as little as $5, and as
much as $1750. It all depends on what you want, how much time
I've got, and what you're willing to pay.
As for commission subjects: While I do draw sex, I don't do rape,
painful bondage or gross homosexuality. I _don't_ do kiddie porn
of any kind under any circumstances. Consenting adults only!
The time it takes to do commissions depends on complexity. One
panel things, a week. Story-length commissions can take a couple
of months.
Other information:
I make a good chunk of my living off art, so I try to act
professional about it. I don't do free stuff "for the exposure",
so don't ask. I do trades, though, especially for weird music and
comics.

>> P. Damian Cugley
Address: Email: Damian...@comlab.ox.ac.uk
Physical: 26 Princes St., Oxford, OX4 1DD, UK
Authorized distribution (if any):
Only GIFs made by me -- usually of artwork drawn specifically to be
made into a GIF. New stuff I've uploaded to Avatar is accompanied
by a certificate file with a PGP signature (digital signature) that
could be used to check if a file is corrupted. Eventually I might
be able to say simply that all authorized GIFs by me are signed...
There's a file README-pdc.txt that lists my picture files as
uploaded to the old Tezuka site; most of these will have been
inherited by Avatar.
Availability of samples:
I don't have all that much furry art extant -- and since I am in the
UK it might be a bit difficult for people to send me SASEs. There
are International Reply Coupons, but to be honest I know nothing of
them beyond what can be deduced from their name. Hm. If someone
sent me a request + IRC I guess I could send back a few photocopies
of what I have on the drawing board, an AL catalogue, some
doodles, whatever.
[Editor's note: As mentioned in the Notes section, one IRC probably
won't do it; two would be the safe minimum.]
Some works currently for sale:
Both Jeremy Dennis and I have a furry strip planned for Furry Furry
#1. There's no date for FF #1 yet, but Daniel Mitchell has continued
to badger me into working on it. :-)

>> Eric Elliott
Address: Email: Foxw...@cup.portal.com
Physical: 809 Borregas Ave., Sunnyvale, CA 94086
Authorized distribution (if any):
*The only authorized GIFs of my work are one or two small things I've
uploaded myself. Anyone wishing to upload any of my work should
contact me. An authorized GIF will contain a title and a verification
code. (Contact me to determine if the code is valid.)
*The only authorized prints of my work would have been sold directly
by me (in person, by mail, or at a convention art show) or received
from Gary Thieme.
Availability of samples:
Send a request with a SASE (no charge).
Pricing structure:
Photocopies of sketches .50; Color Laserprints $5.00; Photoprints
$15.00
Commissions:
Pencils--starting at $10.00. B&W inked--starting at $25.00. Color--
starting at $50.00. These prices are for single, uncomplex figures,
no background. I do not do sexually explicit, blatantly offensive
(to me), or illegal works. Delivery time depends on the complexity
of the piece. For simple drawings no more than a month.

>> Maggie Fox
Address: 4640 Westford Circle, Tampa, FL 33624-4356 (this may change)
Authorized distribution (if any):
I only authorize the distribution of my work through photocopying
and no other way. The works don't matter as long as the signature,
date, and copyright are not cut off. NO SCANNING, NO ELECTRONIC
FORMATS, AND ARTWORK CANNOT BE USED IN PUBLICATIONS WITHOUT MY
PERMISSION. (Yes, my work has been published twice without my
permission and I have never received copies of the publication or
money in either case.)
Availability of samples:
People can obtain samples by writing a polite letter and with
two stamps; I do not charge for samples.
Pricing structure:
Prices are $20 for B&W 9x12 Bristol and $40 for color 9x12 Bristol
(these are originals). Other sizes and prints are negotiable. No
limit to amount of characters; however, too much detail may jack
up the price.
Commissions:
I do commissions, but I do _not_ draw erotica. Time delay may be
from one week to a few months depending on the maount of detail
involved... If you want detail in your commissions, you have to
pay for it. I have done 8.5x11 B&W and charged $15, and done
the same size B&W and charged $40. Anyone with questions can
write me and I can give examples of what costs how much.
Other information:
My work can be found in YARF!, Mythagoras, the Caffeine
Quarterly (grrr...), Wildlife APAzine, the Pelt... and I believe
that's it.

>> Lia Graf (aka Tygger)
Publisher: Tigerwing Press
Address: Email: lia....@teamhbbs.com
Physical: 6250 Holabird St. #1, San Diego, CA 92120-3545
Authorized distribution (if any):
The only authorized distribution site is Avatar. No distribution
by private means allowed. All GIFs that my "agent" Sean Malloy
will upload for me will be the only authorized ones. Each one will
be dated and timed and I will have a physical record of all GIFs
authorized. This will be written in stone as of the first new GIF
in the next month or so.
Availability of samples:
Yes. It must be indicated as to which the person would like
samples of (nudes, pinups, hard/soft erotica, humour, non-furry,
etc.). A 9x12 SASE with 2-4 stamps is usually all that's needed.
Pricing structure:
*Black & White: (9x12) single character pose--$15-20 depending;
multiple characters--$25-higher depending
(11x14) raise all prices $5
*Colour: (9x12) $40 & up depending upon single or multi character,
subject matter; always best to give me a description so I can
quote
(11x14) $50, same restrictions apply
*Prints: colour--$5 at cons, $7 by mail; B&W cardstock--$2 at cons,
$3 by mail
I dunno about overseas, I've yet to send anything there. The price
would definitely go up to cover shipping. How much? I dunno.
Case by case I guess.
Some works currently for sale:
It's best to contact me by email or snailmail for a current print
listing.
Commission info:
Yes. Pinups, hard/soft erotica are my main forte' though I will do
other subject matter. NO INCEST, NO CHILDREN/ADULT!! Typical
price is $50-60 9x12 coloured though I prefer to work on 11x14 for
multi-characters. Yes, it'll raise the price but not by much.
Right now, there's a wait of 3-5 months, though I can and will rush
something if I'm given a deadline. If it's real tight, it will
cost extra.
Other information:
I'm basically open to negotiations. I WILL do commissions in
trade/barter. ASK FIRST!! DO NOT ASSUME I'LL AGREE!! Don't push
me, don't nag me. I'm inclined to bite if pushed too far. I'm a
tigress after all. --grin--

Physical: 5206 20th Avenue NE, Seattle, WA 98105-3313
Authorized distribution (if any):
On a per-case basis. I've got one GIF out there which I allow
not-for-profit distribution (BUT RESERVE FULL COPYRIGHT!), but I don't
know if it actually ever went past the one BBS I put it on. It's kind
of a weak scan...
Availability of samples:
Not yet. I'm just now working on an inventory again. For a bunch of
reasons, I wasn't doing much artwork at all for a while.
Pricing structure:
Almost all my work is B&W; originals cost varying amounts depending
upon the original - I've sold stuff for anywhere from $25 to $90. The
small number of prints I've made cost $15. (These are B&W photoprints
of pencil artwork, which is why they cost so much.)
Some works currently for sale:
I really don't have much. :-p Ask again in, oh, six months. :-) The two
prints I have are $15 each, as mentioned above.
I hope to display some at conventions soon, which will help. Also, Lia
Graf has accepted a small B&W piece I submitted for Bourdiour.
Commissions:
Rarely, and only after the person has seen some of my other work.

I do not authorize the distribution of my work without express written
permission from me.
Availability of samples:
I have a catalogue available free to interested parties.
Pricing structure:
For B&W prints I charge $2 and for laser prints $10. Custom
airbrushed T-shirts start at $35 with a median range of $40. Custom
work is $25 inked for 8.5x11 and $35 for 11x14; this includes a light
background. For more complicated detail price goes up. Allow about
$5 for postage. I really try to pack 'em so the UPS or Post Office
can't bend 'em. I also send things registered through the post as
I've had too many things go missing.
Some works currently for sale:
*_The Coldest Place, The Hottest Blood": A female tigress in the
snow, having just fallen and leaning over to give a grimace of
anger/fear. Her back is to the audience. Very powerful and the
prints are selling fast. Colour. $10 + shipping.
*_Forest Floater: A female fox with butterfly wings floating through
the Australian rain forest. Colour. $10 + shipping.
*In B&W I have many females and males. Ask for catalog.
*I also create art folios. Some I've had printed through YARF! the
Journal of Applied Anthropomorphics. [See 'Zines section.]
*I have other stuff through Brian Sutton's Happy Jackal Graphics.
[See Publishers section.]
Commissions:
I definitely do commission. Prices vary according to complication,
but I will work with someone on a budget. They may not get the
masterpiece they want, but they will get a fine piece. As for time
delay, it varies on how much I have to do already. We can work it
out while negotiating what they want. I do not do explicit sexual
scenes. I will do cheese cake art that runs towards "R".
However, if I'm not comfortable with a client's request I will say
so.
Other information:
Most of my colour work is in acrylics. I use the brush on my black
and white as I am trained in the comics field.
I'm currently doing several things. Girls in military paraphernalia,
hunks and hardbodies, enchantresses, lingerie, etc. I also plan to
put out a coloring book for adults (in progress). In the future,
several comics stories will be available but through whom I'm not
sure yet.

Pricing structure:
Artwork generally sold at conventions. Prices vary from $7.00 (small
photoprints) to $200

By Robert Lynn Asprin (author of Myth Adventures series, Phule's
Company series, Thieves' World editor) and Mel. White. These are
full-color graphic novels about the misadventures of a dragon and
his boy... err... knight... and their riverboat. Lunacy on a scale
(that's a joke, son) that only Asprin and White could achieve.
Includes some of Asprin's first published drawings so that we can
all confirm why he wrote this stuff and White drew it. Pricing:

Authorized distribution (if any):
I have some really old GIFs on Tezuka and Avatar, but forget the names,
and would be just as happy if they vanished. If I put up any new
approved GIFs then I'll make a note of it appropriately on the GIF.
Availability of samples:
I'm always happy to hear from and trade samples with other artists. If
you want a random sampling, send a one-stamped SASE for three or four
good copies of whatever I have latest done. This is a one-time offer
for any given person.
Pricing structure:
A fully colored 11x14 illustration original might cost $100. I don't
really have a fixed price system as I'm not that interested in
selling art.
Some works currently for sale:
No pics currently for sale. Maybe a portfolio sometimes this summer,
which might run $5 to 10 for a color cover and 20 pages.
Commissions:
I don't do commissions, in general, unless I like the idea; for
instance story illustrations, cover art, interesting picture conceptions.
I won't do anything with nudity, partial or whole. I do some detailed
work, though nothing as complicated as serious Celtic knotwork. I like
fantasy, RenFaire, Victorian, anime, some RL type clothes, that sort of
thing, but if you don't see it, ask. I'm willing to do moderate research
on clothes and settings, nothing that a trip to the library wouldn't fix.
Expect a delay of up to a month for a single picture, longer if it's a
series (in fact I won't guarantee how long it takes for anything more
than a single picture)
Other information:
I do what people call charming stuff, running about 80% pretty females
in fashionably chic outfits. Example: Death (from Gaiman's Sandman
comics) as a cheetah, dressed in her trademark leather jacket, black tank
top, belt, and boots, petting a little tiger kitten. Keshantii kittens
running about. (foxtaurs) A land ironclad (think steam train on steroids
with guns) on a Civil War battlefield. I've stuff in Gallery (#13 and
soon #14), YARF!, Steam Victorian. Thinking about things like T-shirts
and calendars, but that's somewhere off in the future. (Don't even
*think* about a Furry Tarot, there're 78 of the bleedin' cards and I like
the Tarot Deck of the Cat People anyways!)
I am *not* doing this on a professional basis. Furry fandom is a hobby
for me. I make my real money on full-time jobs, which doesn't leave me
much time for commissions and such when I have personal projects to be
done. However I'm willing to collaborate with people on interesting
projects, as long as I have the time to do it.

Availability of samples:
We are...working up a large catalog(s) of the art work that we will
mail out and give away to all interested parties. Currently the catalog
has over 100 full color prints. The black and whites are not currently
in the catalog because we have many times more of those and it would
make the catalog overly large. A second catalog is under consideration.
We have been discussing also offering the catalog in electronic
form, as GIFs and on CD in tiff form (only format that reproduces all
the color.)
Other information:
We are a group of artists that promote other artists. We offer
no/low cost (to the artist) prints and distribution through as many
shows as we can go to. This art work currently represents about 30
artists. The subject matter is sci-fi/fantasy/furry in various
situations from innocent to risque. Our prints are done using
sublimation dye printers. This means we get better results than we
would using traditional offset presses. These are continuous tone
printers (no dots) producing 42.9 million colors that don't fade in
the sun.

they can feel free to do so! People should _not_ send a SASE,
