Fine Art? Funny Animals.
It’s interesting when full-fledged fine artists turn their attention to something more whimsical, like cartoon illustration. Such is the case with painter Richard D. Sweatt, who in addition to his gallery works has taken time to write and illustrate a softcover children’s book, Fuzzy Friends. “A story about a little girl that makes friends with the little animals from the nearby woods. Everyday the little Fuzzy Friends wait for the little girl to arrive home on the school bus to greet her. The little girl loves to play with her friends and at the same time learns some valuable lessons about making good choices when it comes to choosing friends.” Check it out over at Lulu.com, then check out Mr. Sweatt’s other fine art paintings at his Enjoygram site.

About yourself when not a furry online.
As for me, I'm a teenager metalhead who might be bisexual*. I love history, love wolves (obviously), and am also a Star, almost Life, rank boy scout.
*I say might because I'm still trying to figure myself out.

He's back...
This has been brought up on this subreddit before, but recently the "Furret bot spammer" has decided to come back on Omegle. (If you have no idea what I'm talking about, I refer you to this reddit link. http://www.reddit.com/r/furry/comments/2t40ec/to_whomever_keeps_spamming_the_furry_tag_on_omegle/) There are others like this post, so this person might be the only one you see on Omegle for a while. From what I can tell, he's on the "yiff", "yiffing", "furry", and "furries" tags.

So my mother found out what the term "furry" means...
The way she currently sees it is "like bronies, but less creepy" (I have no idea how she even knows what one is) but she doesn't know I'm one. If she happens to find this out, how do I explain it?

I just realized...
It's flair-makin' time again.
I'm not going out for Easter and I'm pretty bored. Let's make some more flairs!
As usual, post a reference/headshot of whatever you want to be your flair and I'll make it. Descriptions work, too.
Once you get a flair made, PM it to /u/copperbadger and ask him to set it for you. He'll set it when he does the next batch a set flairs.
I can't promise that I'll get to everyone, but I'll do my best, too!

We are all artists.
Firstly, I want to thank /r/furry for harboring me and my creativity, and allowing me to be able to have intelligent discussion with other people about topics that truly interest me.
Recently, a friend of mine and I had an interesting conversation about art and artists. I asked him if he was an artist, and he replied by saying that he is, that he's a musician.
I was confused, and then I realized that he was using the word artist in it's purest form; to describe one who creates art.
The word artist has shifted and changed throughout it's lifetime to describe someone who paints, or creates any other kind of visual illustration.
But, while the word has served it's purpose in describing an illustrator, it does a disservice to all other artists, making the connotation, that to be an artist, you must make something visual.
I want to change that
While we can't stop using the word artist, we can expand it to include all creators. The Writers, The Illustrators, The Musicians, The Videographers, The Dreamers.
We are all artists
We are just creative in different ways, and by just referring to illustrators as artists, we exclude all the other creators of the world, almost, making their creativity, less important...
As a writer, this is truly important to me
tl;dr The word artist shouldn't be reserved to describe people who create illustrations, and that anybody who creates anything is an artist

FA UI Beta
So what does everyone think of the new FA UI beta? I think it's putting the site on the right track but I do think it needs a ways to go before its useable. This is very much, to me, a chrome before function update.
I like:
I think the new look is a step in the right direction
I like the search from anywhere, that's handy
Dark theme looks snazzy
Some criticism:
Text is way to big in comments and descriptions
Hamburger menu... Why? It's a mess because everything is lumped into it. At least recognize the user string so that we're not forced into a mobile site on desktop. A slide out menu would be better than one horribly lumped menu
On submissions the name of the piece and art are scrunched together.
Messages screen is still a mess, journals are way too out of sight still. Truthfully would reverse watchers and journals
White text on light colored buttons... Really?
Us writers already struggle for attention, please don't lump us in with the visual artists
Feature ideas:
I'd love to be able to add multiple species tags, as I have a hybrid species persona it would be very nice if I could do both "shark," "drake," and "dragon"
Standardized tags or recently used tags for your art would be nice
Folders would be awesome. God knows it'd help with organization
Ability to commission through the commission page would also be cool
Allow artists and writers to have slots and open and close them at will or have them continuously be open and alert users to them
