Dear Papabear,

I'm so glad I found your site, I can finally confide in someone for help! Always loving animals, I became involved in furries three years ago. I wanted to commemorate it, so planned on getting a tattoo for my 18th birthday. I met someone through a roleplaying forum, and we occasionally talked through a messenger. Telling them I wanted a tattoo, they told me I could use one of their pictures if I wanted. They sent me some pictures through email, and I fell in love with a design! A year later I went and got it done happily!

Last week I was searching through my newly made account on FurAffinity and stumbled upon a picture. It was my tattoo design....drawn by someone else! Browsing through their gallery, it turned out to be the REAL artist! I lost contact with my messenger acquaintance so there's no confronting them, though I sent an e-mail. 

I feel so ashamed! I have art theft on my body for the rest of my life. I want to contact the artist but I'm so afraid they'll hate me and be super mad, the picture says not to use it for any purpose. I feel really bad and don't know what to do! Do I tell the artist and risk them hating me and slandering me all over? I set out to make friends in the furry community and now I feel like I'm hiding a dirty secret that they'll all judge me for unknowingly taking part it. PLEASE HELP!

Hi, Uncertain,

First of all, this is not your fault, so don’t blame yourself. The “creative procurement” of other people’s art seems to be rampant in the fandom. Some talented artists have stopped posting work for that very reason. I’m glad to hear you have a conscience and want to do the right thing.

I can see where approaching the real artist would make you uncomfortable. For that reason, I would like to offer my services as a liaison between you and the artist. I could approach them, explain the situation, and gauge their reaction. Next, I would suggest you offer to pay them for their art (a reasonable fee). That way, the artist is compensated and you will have a paid-for tattoo that you are not ashamed of.

Please contact me at my email address and we will discuss it.

Hugs,

Papabear

Walt Disney’s Mickey Mouse, the daily comic strip, was initially written by Walt Disney himself and illustrated by Ub Iwerks when the strip began in 1930. When those two men found themselves too busy with animation to handle the strip, Floyd Gottfredson took over as both writer and artist — from late 1930 until 1975! Now Fantagraphics Books have brought together a special collection of full-color Sunday strips created by Mr. Gottfredson and put them in a paperback book, Walt Disney’s Mickey Mouse Color Sundays, Volume 1: Call of the Wild (*whew!*). Here’s the description from Westfield Comics: “Floyd Gottfredson’s Mickey Mouse series makes the jump from black and white to vibrant color. Many of these classic Sunday strips from 1932-1935 have never before been reprinted and have been restored from Disney’s archives and enhanced with a meticulous recreation of the strips’ original color. Call of the Wild also brings you more than 30 pages of supplementary features such as rare behind-the-scenes art, vintage publicity material, and fascinating commentary by a prismatic pack of Disney scholars. This is a collection that fans have been seeking for a lifetime!” Edited by David Gerstein and Gary Groth, this softcover collection hits the stores in May.

I've kept it a secret for about 4 months now. I was wondering how to come out as a furry to your family. I'm only 15 so I live with my sister. (Mom passed away.) I came out as a brony already, and she wasn't too fond of it. Please help.

Here is an article in the March 2013 edition of Atlanta magazine (a monthly general-interest magazine based in Atlanta, Georgia). It mentions the upcoming Furry Weekend Atlanta convention, and interviews con director Tiger Paw.

Please don’t tease the animals.

“It’s considered a breach of etiquette to sneak up and pull someone’s tail,” says the man known as “Tiger Paw,” founder and director of Furry Weekend Atlanta, which celebrates its tenth anniversary March 14 to 17 at the Westin Peachtree Plaza. “It’s hard to see and maneuver inside one of these big animal heads—not a lot of peripheral vision—so you don’t want to make someone fall.”

However, you are encouraged to bray, roar, and howl with a cuddly menagerie at the convention, which features panel discussions on costuming, music, and dancing; video game and comic book vendors; improv skits; and art exhibits by and for furries, or people who enjoy modeling animal-mascot costumes and other customized ensembles known as fursuits.

Furry fandom, which celebrates anthropomorphic characters, formalized in the 1980s as an offshoot of sci-fi/fantasy conventions. It has suffered some image problems, such as when an episode of CSI erroneously conflated furries with plushies, or plushophiles, a separate subculture of people who sexually fetishize stuffed animals.

“That has nothing to do with us,” says Tiger Paw, explaining that FWA is a PG-rated event attended by families with children. The fourth-largest fur convention, FWA should draw 2,200 this year; the biggest—Pittsburgh’s Anthrocon—attracts some 5,200. Of course, “there is some partying back in the rooms, as there is any time you get thousands of people with shared interests together,” says Tiger Paw. “But sexual activity is not our mission.”

Furry identities vary, taking cues from Disney (The Lion King has its own following), Aesop, and anime. “It’s all about anthropomorphism, or having fun with combinations of human and animal traits,” says Tiger Paw, a thirty-six-year-old IT specialist. “It’s a very personal quest. For some people, it’s about art and creative expression, and for others, it’s about an affinity with a particular totem animal.”

He falls into the latter category, sporting a small feline charm with his civilian clothes. “I’ve always loved big cats and especially liked The Jungle Book when I was a kid,” he says, noting that a percentage of FWA admission fees supports the Conservators’ Center, an exotic animal sanctuary in North Carolina. Furries are big on honoring their muses.

Nationally a few dozen whimsical couturiers specialize in fursuits, which average $2,500 but may top $10,000 if they include animatronic effects. These outfits are not a requirement for attendance at the convention, and some revelers slack off with just ears and a tail or no costume at all. Occasionally a Storm-trooper, seemingly lost from Dragon-Con, wanders into the mix. “Fursuits are usually either cute and cartoony or growly and feral,” says Tiger Paw, who moonlights as a red panda in his less ferocious moments.

“We’re subject to trends like any other group,” says Tiger Paw. “For a while, wolves and huskies were hot, and lately otters seem to be gaining steam.” While these critters are as diverse as any other ecosystem, their human alter egos are predominantly male professionals in their early twenties. Happily for them, more women are picking up the scent and arriving in vixen-wear.

“Part of the appeal of being a furry is that you get to be a kid again,” he says. “You walk around in a suit that makes people smile with joy the moment they see you—it’s addictive.”
