Anthrocon 破参会人数记录，再次成世界最大兽展

Something else we stumbled across in the U.K., and did some more research when we got home. Ragllan and the Curse of the Black Dog is the first book in the Wolfling Chronicles fantasy series by British author Sarah Kendall. “Wolflings are an elusive race of creature, endowed with arcane powers, and a strange craving for lettuce. When their carefree lives are blighted by a curse, it seems that things will never be the same again. That is, until a young Nature Spirit, Ragllan the Red, comes to their aid. Guided by Winzel, a wise but batty old Wolfling, and a soothsaying cuckoo called Conker, Ragllan must use his shape shifting skills to seek the perpetrator of the curse – the Black Dog- beneath the eerie Forest of Ailsa and banish him to Winterland. But he quickly discovers that things are not as straightforward as he first thought.” Not certain how available the book is in North America, but the British publisher has information up on line.

Bearly Furcasting S4E12 - Spotlight on Pepper Coyote

IDW Comics just sent us an announcement for Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees, a new “cozy horror” (what does that mean?) comic written and illustrated by Patrick Horvath. Set in a small town of anthropomorphic animals, it introduces us to a seemingly-nice middle-aged bear named Samantha. “In the tranquil and welcoming little town of Woodbrook, humanoid animals happily live in harmony. This cute community isn’t quite as calming as it seems, though. On the surface, Samantha is the friendly face who owns and manages the hardware store. But beneath the surface lies something more terrifying. She visits the nearby city to let her violent urges loose, and buries her victims in the woods… But what happens when the killing comes back to her harmonious home town and Samantha isn’t the only one unleashing her inner animal?” Hitting the stands this October, just in time for Halloween. Bleeding Cool (ha ha) has a preview. Make no mistake: This is harrowing stuff, and definitely not for younger readers.

ANE兽展创始人严正批评兽圈取消文化

知名藝術家飆飆，7 月 1 日起在台中全安堂台灣太陽餅博物館 2 樓，舉辦為期一個月的個人插畫展《野食》，並於 7 月 2 日下午進行開幕茶會。展出作品以飆飆推薦在台中的餐廳為出發點，來讓更多人能從中了解並親自前往品嘗。茶會當天吸引約 50 多人左右參加，現場更提供本次展出作品的複製畫販售活動。

畫展開幕茶會現場（圖：飆飆提供）

策展人飆飆表示，本次是他第 2 次舉辦個展，會選用「野食」作為本次的主題，說明「野就是野生動物的野，食是指人在吃的，一些在台中我個人推薦的一些小店跟餐廳」，本次展出的 10 幅完整作品與 10 幅速寫圖就是以這些餐廳做為發想來創作，也推薦參觀者可以在展後去品嘗這些美食。

本次展出將持續一個月（圖：飆飆提供）

飆飆也表示，展出的這些作品都是使用電腦繪圖的，而不是以前用的純水彩手繪，在筆刷上研究了比較久的時間，並且做了一點調整，讓呈現出的感覺可以更接近他善用的筆法。本次也是實驗要怎麼用電腦筆刷來仿製出自己以前手繪水彩的風格，以及怎麼做輸出會比較接近原稿的實驗性展覽。

現場共有20幅畫作等待民眾欣賞（圖：飆飆提供）

對於現場販售的複製畫，飆飆說本次販售的結果來看，接受度比以往的高，未來也會繼續嘗試販售。開幕茶會後剩餘的複製畫，目前也在網路平台上進行販售。至於未來會不會有其他展出的計畫，飆飆表示將於 9 月泰國 FurSquare、10 月台創季、11 月日本 DESIGN FESTA 進行展出，也歡迎粉絲和同好一起來共襄盛舉。

Hey, thanks! A new recommendation recently came across our desk: Ramen Wolf and Curry Tiger, a black & white manga written and illustrated by the creator known as Emboss. “Meet your new favorite food critics: A chubby wolf named Mita Jiro, and a ripped tiger named Yanagi Kagetora. Kagetora used to eat to live, but that changed when he met Jiro — who lives to eat! Jiro is more than happy to help his striped friend explore the restaurants and delicacies tucked within their city, and he enjoys all their finds with great relish. There’s nothing better than a hot meal to bring two (animal) people together in this deliciously illustrated story.” Comixology has sample pages to check out.

Bearly Furcasting S4E11 - Where's Taebyn?

Another brand-new book for young readers we came across in the U.K.: Moonflight by Gill Lewis (with illustrations by Pippa Curnick). “Can a timid rat ever become a hero? Tilbury is about to find out on the adventure of a lifetime, journeying across the sea to the realm of the dreaded White Death, to return a priceless diamond to its rightful owners. A marvellous adventure begins and a truly intrepid hero is born . . .” The book is available for international shipping from Amazon U.K. And it’s also available as an audio book — everywhere!

And just like that, we’re halfway through the year.

Many of the guild’s writers and publishers have just come back from Anthrocon, where there were many new book releases (check out the bottom of this blog), and we hope many sales! If you picked up a book or two at Anthrocon, please share some pics of your haul with us – and the publishers and authors! Don’t forget to leave a review as well!

There isn’t much guild new to share this month, though I am expecting a bit more at the start of August as we begin preparations for Oxfurred Comma and Furry Book Month. Expect some developments there to come soon.

The guild officers have also been in discussion with other ways to produce more content and opportunities for guild members. Stay tuned for more news here.

We have also been keeping a close eye on the situation happening on Twitter. For a long time, Twitter has been the FWG’s primary social media outlet. We are keeping our options open at the moment and will be looking to expand to another location – Mastodon and Bluesky are looking like the likely options at this stage. We will continue to maintain our presence on Twitter.

Once we have accounts set up on the new sites, we will begin the process of finding guild members already present on those platforms.

For those who don’t worry about failing social media sites, there are always short story opportunities! Please check out the current open calls.

Dog Squad is the first in a new series of “children’s middle grade action and adventure books” (says the publisher) written by Chris Grabenstein. “Duke is not your average dog. Along with his crew, he fights crime and goes on claw-biting adventures helping dogs in peril in the hit streaming sensation: Dog Squad! Fred is a pretty average dog. He’s scrappy. He’s lovable. But he’s not brave like his heroes on Dog Squad. Fred looks an awful lot like Duke from Dog Squad though. In fact, when Duke needs a stand-in, Fred’s the perfect choice. But the Dog Squad action doesn’t always stop on screen! When there’s danger in real life, can Fred find the courage to step up and save the day?!” Don’t look now, but the second book in the series is out also — Dog Squad 2: Cat Crew. Knew it!

Bearly Furcasting S4E10 - A Fluff By Any Other Name

Not Quite Narwhal is the interesting title of a new CGI animated series created by Dreamworks, which recently premiered on Netflix. From Animation World Network: “Adapted for television by co-executive producers Brian K. Roberts (Dragons: Rescue Riders), Nakia Trower Shuman (Fancy Nancy), and Sarah Katin (Curious George), DreamWorks Animation’s take on author Jessie Sima’s New York Times bestseller tackles the subject of identity through the curious and fun-loving Kelp (voiced by Nevin Kar). The blue, big-eyed, aquatic marvel has always believed he’s a narwhal like the rest of his family under the sea, until the day he makes the most amazing discovery – he’s actually a unicorn! Rather than choose one or the other, Kelp embraces being both a narwhal and a unicorn, juggling his day-to-day life as he figures out how to navigate his two worlds: Ocean and land.” The article includes an extensive interview with the author, talking about creating and adapting the work — including its themes of inclusivity and acceptance for people of all types.
