Syl and Lux; I'll carry you home tonight~
Hey all, first time posting on this subreddit! Anywho, Here's a quick drawing I did of a panda! :3
So there's some very controversial art on exhibit at the Dallas Museum of Art that includes furries. (NSFW, regarding how much of it you want to see.)
Recently, following a student field trip to the Dallas Museum of Art, a few acquaintances and I happened to notice a rather interesting exhibit called "Mirror Stage" (website: https://www.dma.org/art/exhibitions/concentrations-59-mirror-stage-visualizing-self-after-internet ).
This exhibit contains many different studies on the "mirror stage" phenomena (description: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_stage ) in the case of the effect of the internet on how we view ourselves.
The portion of the exhibit (Jon Rafman's portion on display from May 12-June 7) that I saw was extremely graphic (pornographically) and contained a lot of erotic furry/anime art alongside pictures of grotesque basements, presumably where people were living in front of their computers, in order to portray a negative effect of the internet on human personalities and sexuality.
Now, since this was accepted into a museum, I assume that there was supposed to be a larger picture involved, and there was I'm sure. But I am deeply appalled at how negatively the furry fandom was portrayed to the general public in a professional environment. And while there is no doubt that the erotic portion of the fandom is very much there, the public will not be and was not informed of the large benign portion of the fandom.
Now, I'll be honest. I am a bit young and susceptible to opinionated information, but this was on an entirely different level, and it irks me to the core.
I don't want to be associated with the people referred to in the video. It was strange, gross, and I had to look away more than once. It made me question my participation in the fandom and whether I would want to be a part of it anymore now that I know what limited information has been given to the public.

Baa! I think I'm feeling a little anxious and... sheepish today... Well, why not become the sheep! (Absolutely outstanding art by the incredibly awesome /u/Greypuppy here on /r/furry!)
Thank-you for the support of my Low-Poly Cheetah design; what do you want to see next?
What type of fursuit head do you like most?
Relevant for me, since I'm currently cutting foam for mine, but it got me thinking about the different styles of heads.
What say you, what's your favorite style of head? What head really made you go "wow"?

How do you furs stay happy?
I'm sorry I didn't know what to do, basically I've not been feeling happy for a couple months now and I'm sick of it; getting massively jealous of people's art, relationships and general stress.
I guess this is just to get it out my system, to in a way tell someone and not bottle it up. If no one wants to see this just say, I'll delete it.
If you got and advice on how to be happy please say, it'll be really helpful.

Spending money on the fandom
I'm curious what the average amount of money that furries give up for the fandom.
I know you can spend a lot of money, but you coul spend nothing at all, some make money off it.
So that got me thinking: how much do you spend annually on average?
I'm a suiter, and I love me some commissions, so I estimate that I spend about $1000 per year.
