So I made this guy http://imgur.com/aNi74N5 I guess some sort of fursona. I was eating a peanut butter sandwich when I drew him.

August’s Book of the Month, Rat’s Reputation, is by member Michael H. Payne (author of The Blood Jaguar).

“Orphans have it tough no matter where they are. But for an orphaned rat in a community of mice, it’s twice as hard. For every mouse willing to look past Rat’s oversized physique and sketchy relatives, there are two convinced he’s just a thief and a murderer biding his time. It doesn’t help that Rat has a tendency to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, and to do the wrong thing just when someone’s watching. Vandalism, robbery, even murder: as he grows, so does the legend around him, and Rat will have to separate truth from fiction to find out not only where he comes from, but where he’s going, and, most importantly, where he belongs.

For the first time in print, Rat’s Reputation is author Michael Payne’s further exploration of life in the lush, beautifully realized world of The Blood Jaguar. More a companion story than a prequel or sequel (though some characters will be familiar to readers of his first book), Payne here shows that you don’t have to follow a prophecy to travel an epic journey, and you don’t have to save the world to be a hero.”

Ever had a song that's either really really reached out and made you cry, or one that's really struck a nerve inside you, and from that comes either chills, or a sudden feeling of needing to be strong etc? Perhaps some songs reasonate within you that make you think "This sums up my life / the situation I'm in perfectly", whether it's good, bad etc.

Post it here!

So yesterday I found out something by looking in the mirror. I'm kind of a funny looking kid. Not a strange looking person, and bad looking by any measure (Please never consider yourself to look bad; chances are you don't), but a genuinely funny looking kid. Though I won't disclose photographs, I'll basically describe it as a solid caricature of a guy whose eyebrows are most of his expression. I have a sightly bedraggled stubble in a vague similarity to Arin Hanson, and hair that reminds me of a fluffier version of John Green.

Somebody else may have been discouraged at this point because they want to be known as the 10/10 handsome fellow would bang again; but I wasn't. And I'm not that kind of person. I am a (relatively amateur) artist, but I like the notion of chaotic idealism; since I want the world to be flawed I will draw it as such. I draw characters all the time; these myriad of strange looking folk with enormous noses or jaws that imply a muscle strength of steel biting proportion. It's just what I do. So in that I took quite a bit of pride in the fact that I really am just a funny fellow. A sense of humor helps too.

The point of it all though is one day you might just have to find yourself staring in a mirror; and being aware that the person looking back at you is you, and saying to yourself "that's okay".

I have an adventure for you bored fuzzbutts. i give you a link to my audio file. But what do you do with it?... i will give you the first hint to this treasure hunt: google SSTV... good luck! The first one to crack the code gets a surprise!

It’s no news to anyone by now that Usagi Yojimbo by Stan Sakai is not only one of the most celebrated anthropomorphic comics ever, but one of the most celebrated comics, period! Well now Dark Horse Press have announced that the ronin rabbit’s adventures will soon be presented as they deserve: Bigger, and in full color! No, not a Usagi animated film (yet), but use this to tide you over: The Usagi Yojimbo Gallery Edition, Volume 1. This large format hardcover (12 by 17 inches) features the Usagi origin story Samurai as well as the very first Usagi comic, plus never-before-seen artwork and a new introduction by Stan Sakai. Check it out over at Barnes & Noble.
