What he's talking about makes sense to me? Brian Anderson said the
same thing....after telling me his girlfriend moved in with him and
that he no longer gives a damn about anyone.
When I said whether or not he would be interested in Gargoyles:

As far as i'm concerned, the fandom can have it, I don't care anymore.

You know Brian, what happens when your girlfriend leaves, you can't
expect the rest of the world to leave you alone after that? People
will notice and worry about you.
Brian fires the first bullet and MMilam runs down the street.

On the other hand...prehaps you could get a job with the army. Navy

Really? I hope he's happy then. As for the rest of us, well, we're a lot
poorer for his absence.

Indeed.
It is part of my philosophy that art must be shared to be properly said
to exist as art. (This is not followed by everyone, I know.) In this
case, having never seen any of his work, neither he nor his art exists
for me. Nor is it there for anyone else who wants to learn, or expand
their viewing, or look at a good example, for that matter.
In the absence of any material, I must classify him as simply "someone
else who quit." A pity if he deserved more. But how would I know?

Abe was a very talented and kind young man -- impressive to think that he
was only 16-years-old when he drew the images on the web page listed above.
Another talented artist gone, thanks to the single-minded spoogers and

I agree. I hadn't seen his work before, but the 3 pics I see
are very good. Pity that he left the genre. It would be stronger
and cleaner with his presence than with his absence.

What "us" is that? Sure there are some icky people in the fandom.
There are these kinds of folks in every group of people. Heck, there
are some people in the mall I'd rather not know about; I still go to the
mall though. One cannot hide from the universe, and for every bad
apple you'll find 99 good apples.
A long time ago I quit SciFi because of a few twisted individuals. In
hindsight, I wish I hadn't. I missed out on a lot of fun and excitement in
my life because of that decision. I'm delighted to get to know these
imaginative and talented people in furry, even though I rarely bother
them.

And I'm glad he lets you show his work there as well. I hope one
day he will consider coming back under a psuedonym or such. (like
Nakira did.) It is a shame that he feels he must distance himself from
the genre, when he is the very sort of artist we need to "improve" matters.

Some pople just don't become artists.. and still manage to get
published- Joe being a case in point. Actually, Abe could draw circles
around old Joe here at 16. It'd be interesting to see how well he could
kick ass by the time he get's to be Rosales' age. Abe actually did have
what it took to be an artist, given he's now doing ad art for a
well-known and reputable company. The difference being he had what it
took to be an artist in a market that actually turns a decent buck and
is recognized, as opposed to furrydumb which, no matter how much it
deludes itself, is obscure and will pretty much remain so (even with
some japanese artist doing a generic pinup bunny for the cover of a
comic).
What Abe didn't have was what it took to be a recognized furry artist-
borderline talent that never advances and a total lack of integrity. I
don't think it's a "condition of nerves" in question when a 16 year old
boy leaves a scene because he's most likely being asked to draw herms,
macros, and probably receiving sexual advances from guys- (What would
you have done at 16 if some scruffy guy comes up to you going "churp!").
It does take a certain amount of nerve to call yourself an artist- and
for Joe "I Wanna Draw Spoooooooge" Rosales to do that, he's got some
nerve. Abe's got a helluva lot more of a basis to be deemed an artist.

I'm glad to see artists making money with their talents. But
making cash does not equate with being an artist. Look at Van
Gogh. He made only one sale in his life, but his works are some
of the most valuable paintings in existance today.
Joe and Abe have different styles anyway. It's much like
comparing a Ferrari with a Porsche. Speaking as one whose
drawing ability puts him firmly in Schwinn territory, who cares?
They are both top notch.

Yes, a very real problem in the fandom today. The fans who
want spooge, spooge, and more spooge making the fandom
stickier and stickier. I can see where Abe would be repelled by
that. But it certainly won't get any better if he retreats from it.
If he likes drawing furrys, then he should (and the spoogehounds need
not make any suggestions.) After all, the fandom is supposed
to be fun.
As for being pawwed about; there are times when lupine
traits come in handy...

Oops. I knew Abe was young, but I never got the idea he is _that_
young. I've followed his work from the moment he joined the then-SCFA
(now known as www.yerf.com) and he was getting better at an interesting
rate. Big talent. I had hoped to buy a comic done by him one day, but
then he decided to leave for the mentioned reasons.
Big loss IMHO. I'm still hoping he might be back one day. Or at least
publish something I can get hold of. I'd try to be first in line...

In the "drawing circles around" department. (Shoulda said "circumference"

Easily. I didn't start drawing at all until I was 19.

Sure would. But that's pretty much beyond the realm of possibility now,
isn't it?

Firstly, at what point did I call myself an artist? Please reproduce
that quote here. My memory seems to be slipping.
Secondly, what exactly is this vast amount of pornography I've produced
and advocated? All these years I've spent going to cons telling
everyone who would listen that the production of explicit material was
unnecessary to survive as an artist, the continuing success of the
Wildlifers and Romanics -- this has all apparently been put to the lie
by something. Pray, tell us what it is. Eight years of work, my entire
professional career spent working in and promoting PG material, has been
obviated in a single moment. Please explain. And while you're at it,
please share with us what you've done to promote a better fandom and
clean art supply, outside of complaining online.
Thirdly, your only requirement for being an artist is apparently to
produce completely clean, G-rated material. This would of course rule
out both Walt Kelly and Carl Barks. Perhaps you would care to elaborate
on how someone who is aspiring to be a better funny animal artist would
benefit from not following such sordid and talentless examples.
Finally, Betty or whatever you're calling yourself now, you should
either start using your real name on posts, or come up with some new
catch-phrases. Yeah, I know, you have no idea what I'm talking about.

What comic have you been reading? I have most of Joe's work and I
have yet to see anything sexually explicit, even in his portfolios.
Heck if you can find some please let me know where it is! (laughs)
Honestly I admire Joes artistic ability very highly and his ability to
telll fun, non spoogey tales even more. I love sexually explicit furry
art but not everyfur has to do it. I like my innocent stuff too.
It appears to me that your post is designed to hurt Joe personally,
that unfortunately destroyed what could have been a nice letter about
you heartfelt admiration for Abe.
Joe also has another thing I admire, CLASS.

Yes, everyone who has met me knows what a Shrinking Violet I am, and how
desperately I crave the approval of others.
The truth is, PigCop -- who was then calling herself Betty Roget, which
is not her real name either, by the way -- officed such poor behavior on
the aforementioned mailing list for my even mentioning doing this story
that the two guys running it personally apologized to me for her
remarks, which included insulting my mother. Neither she nor anyone
else has seen the story or even knows what it is about, so her
judgements on it are purely abstractions based on her own predjudices
and predilections. This is the same woman who said that I shouldn't put
drag humor in Wildlifers because that was about "lifestyle issues".
Puh-leeze.
Never one to ask anyone to take things on faith, I will gladly email
anyone who wants it a complete transcript of all of the activity on that
thread. You've heard of flames? This was more "Betty's" version of
electronic vitriolage. It was pretty despicable. Please, don't take my
word for it -- I'll *gladly* provide the evidence.
Warning! It's very large, about 52K of text. Just so's you know.
Moreover, I invite you all to take a look at my finally up-and-running
website at http://www.FurNation.com/Animus/ , where you can see exactly
the kind of horrible material Pig is so dead set against.
And perhaps, Pig, you would favor us with a place where we can see your
own work? As you so astutely pointed out, this fandom is desperately in
need of good examples, and your work must in fact be far superior to my
own. I think everyone should be able to judge and follow your example.
Please let me and the group know where we can see examples of your art
and/or writing in any comics, books, collections, etc. I for one am
vitally in need of guidance.
> It's whatever the one that will have the poorly colored
> generic pinup cover by japanese artist "Monty" is.
And for those of you who wish to view the terrible hackwork that Monty
produces, I invite you to take a look at his homepage at
http://www.fang.or.jp/~monty/ .
Please, don't listen to me! Judge for yourselves. But at least I use
my real name.

I did a few stints in non-furry comics, but then I got a job with a
future.

Actually, Monty is really good. He just could have done a hell of a
lot better with this cover that is gonna drive folks to the fandom in
droves.
SilverJain
>future.
Which non-furry comics would those be? I might have them in my collection. It's
always nice to run into other pros.
(And I'm wondering where you've seen the actual finished version of Monty's
cover, since we haven't posted it anywhere or printed it anywhere. Monty does
good work and, like all the Japanese artists I've dealt with, is a dream to
work with- professional to a fault, polite, and very concientious about
deadlines.)

Yes, of course. How silly of me. You have no need to hide behind silly

Again, my memory fails me. Please reproduce the quote where either I or
anyone else refers to me as a "fan favorite".
The truth is, you have no credits, no solutions, and nothing to show --
you're just a loudmouth with a computer. Where are your pages? Where
are your stories? Where is the guiding light of your genius to show us
the way? Tell us, what are these comics you did? Where's your
website? What cons have you been at, helping upcoming artists and
talking to fanzine and comic publishers? And what have you done to
improve the fandom, besides insulting people on newsgroups?
I make no claim to being an unrecognized genius. I work for a living.
People can enjoy my work if they choose. But at least I don't make up a
name and then go around insulting people. Even Matt Milam has the guts
to use his own name when he speaks; he's got some chutzpah. You're just
a gutless coward with a big mouth.
> I heard the tales from Betty
"Betty" has apparently been telling you more than tales. To get the
info you've posted here, you would have actually had to read the traffic
on the previously mentioned mailing list, which means that (if you're
not her, ha ha right) she's been forwarding the messages from the
mailing list to you -- something she complained bitterly about other
people doing for *their* friends, even when the posts were about them.
Such integrity!
I apologize to all you people out there in webland for airing this
nonsense here. Pig is pretty desperate to prove how much smarter and
more moral she is than everyone; hence the attacks. She really has
nothing better to do; she's certainly not working on anything to show to
you all. I think you can all decide on your own, and I do have other
things to do, so I'll consider this matter closed. Sorry to take up
this bandwidth!
Once again, feel free to visit my webpage at
http://www.FurNation.com/Animus/ . I just put up a little more art on
the "In Progress" page (I waited to ask Matt for permission first), so
you can see a little more of the actual work I'm preparing for
publication. It probably won't be as good as Pig's work, but at least
you'll get to see it.

Hey, congrats again on winning the T-Shirt contest for MFM this year, I'd like
to see Pig submit for next year, if he/she/it can.

No need for supplementary evidence, Joe. Whether this individual is Betty
or not, he has behaved in a manner which puts the filthiness of his animal
namesake to shame. True, if he had any credibility left, I might've asked

Where am I going?I don't quite know.
What does it matter where people go?
Down to the woods where the bluebells grow.
Anywhere! Anywhere! *I*don't know!

I'm researching the early days of the fandom and came across the old alt.furry forums(?), you seemed to have a large impact on the fandom years ago! Would you be available for an email interview? I am documenting events with the Burned Furs.

with considerable activity, even though this one appears pretty
much vacant. Think of news:alt.usage.english, news:uk.railway,
or even news:sci.lang and news:soc.history.what-if.

It's not the action you're looking for, though.
