I'm trying to become it! I've been doing a bunch of writing practice with mt left hand, and I'm extending that to drawing. When I improve a little more maybe I'll show you some of the sketches I've done left-handed.

I always have this thought like, what if I lost my right hand for some reason? I wanna be prepared in case that ever happens.

I've decided to open commissions on chibi's. Pretty basic lay out here, the bigger it is, the more it costs. To add color is another dollar, regardless of size. All color with be flat color, not shaded at all. If you're interested I'm accepting paypal, just send me a note, or leave a comment with your character, a reference, and a preferred pose if you have one.

I'd also like feedback, are my prices reasonable, is this something you're interested in, that sorta thing. Thank you!

See you all in two weeks when I get back from Europe!

I totally just did it! I'm finally a graduate, no more public school for me!

Man, am I lazy. I've had a new 'sona for how long now and still can't be bothered to make a new avatar for myself? I don't suppose anyone out there fancies drawing tiny calico gryphons...? Until I can get something better I'm throwing up a ten minute one that's serving on dA.

Hey, so my best pal  purpleweeble just turned 18, and we went bowling! So, imagine a bunch of furs bowling and that's it. But even better was that we had a video camera that doubles as a digital camera, and we had a blast.

My absolute favorite video is this: http://picasaweb.google.com/isaac.d.....83037676230626 It's me doing an impression of this really annoying girl at my school, and I kid you not, she acts like that, and she never shuts up.

What is the name of your fursona?
Khalico

Where did the name of your Fursona come from?
I was coming home from Rain Furrest and decided I needed a cool name, and since my 'Sona has always been calico, it made sense

What species is your fursona and why did you choose that species?
Gryphon, because there's too much feline in my nature to ignore, but also too much avian to just be a cat with wings.

What color is your fursona and why? Hair/fur/eyes/etc
Hair: Usually no hair, but when there is then short strawberry blonde with black streaks
Fur: Mainly white with orange and black splotches
Eyes: One blue-gray the other green-gray

What is your fursona's personality and how does this compare to your irl personality?
Basically we're the same person, my fursona just doesn't have to inhibit its basic reactions to the world, whereas I restrain myself when I wanna maul someone.

What is one item your fursona owns that is significant to you irl?
I'm gonna be sticking a silver ring on a talon of my left paw the next time I draw myself.

What is one thing you think you would say to your fursona if you could meet?
Me and myself wouldn't get along, at ALL, and anything we said to one another would be so explicit that I can't show it here.

What is one thing your fursona would say to you if you could meet?
More explicit language here.

How has your fursona changed over the years?
Species, but fur has always been calico. I had a dolphin earring at one point, but had to remove that when I lost it.

How long have you had this fursona?
Not long

Would you like to be more like your fursona?
Dude, asking someone if they would acceot a pair of wings? What were you thinking. I want to BE my fursona.

Ok now tag three other people you would like to learn about!

If you wanna take it, g'head, I don't wanna tag anyone.

So... I feel really shallow for caring so much about this but here it is. I try to hide it as much as possible, especially in pictures, but it's pretty widely known that I have braces. I've been super excited though, because Dr. McNeal was telling me that only one more session and I was free, that I'd have them off by November.

So I went to my appointment today and told the assistant how excited I was, that I was almost done, and we made small talk. She told me that Dr. Ive (pronounced eevee) was in today instead. And so she's really rough with me, kinda distracted and then he comes over and starts stretching and pulling my mouth, with total diregard to the fact that I'm a human, and tells the assistant that two of my brackets have to come off.

If you've never had braces, let me tell you: it's god awful. They've done so much shit to me, I'll have permanent scars from it. But the removal and addition of brackets is the worst. The brackets are the main metal bit cemented to your tooth and the cement they use is awful, the scent and taste is pervasive in your mouth, and then they use this air thing that almost inevitably blows it on your tongue which is even worse. So they do that, and practically tear the part of my lips. Usually immdiately after, you're allowed ot rinse, but he didn't let me up. I was choking on the scent, and tried to swallow, catching some on the edge of my tongue, I almsot gagged on him.

Afterward, the assistant lets me rinse, then tells me quietly, after he's left, that because of the change instead of coming off now it'll probably be more toward March. I was so excited before, especially since I wouldn't have to have braces for most of my senior year and this... I wanted to cry. I almost did. And looking at it objectively, it's no big deal, but it's such a blow. I was almost out of them, they told me I was, and then... Anyway. Now no one can hang out tonight, so I'm left alone to wallow in my misery.

I've sorta been debating for a while now... Cat or gryphon? I've never been enthusiastic about imaginary furs, it seemed less real to me. But the more I think about it, the more gryphonic I feel.

You know that feeling like if you're a cat, and you're mad, you give no outward signs of anger, but mentally, you set you ears back? Or flick your tail, etc? Well... this is a bit strange, but more and more often I've been feeling wings and feathers, and thinking on it, I have since I was a kid. In silly ways that I'm not going to go into detail over.

So anyway, before I ramble you into a stupor, I've decided to change from cat to gryphon, but keeping most coat coloration etc. I'll be cranking some ROUGH variations on anthro gryphs, some practice on beaks, and freakin' reference sheet for myself. And if you're good boys and girls, I'll scan them.

Oh my god, it was so amazing. Every year on my birthday something goes horriblely wrong. One year my favorite pair of pants got ruined, another my dad woke me up by having a screaming match with my mom because I didn't clean the bathroom and left. And so on and so forth. But this year, everything was perfect. I got to take 4 of my closest friends on a limo ride all totally dressed up to the Space Needle where we had a fantastic dinner. But not only was that great, but even school was great. Everyone was fantastic, we did nothing in any of my classes, everything went my way. I had over 5 people call me to sing happy birthday. In my German class they sang to me in German, and threw me in the air. I think it's probably bad luck if you don't land on your feet, but I did. When my pals sang to me at the Space Needle, other guests joined in. We also had a really cute waiter.

So now I'm a legal adult.

Well, not quite. But come Friday, hello adulthood.

Man, where's the love? I'm getting the same people commenting, with the same comments, I know there's plenty of folks watching me who never comment. My pterodactyl flash has been up for about 2 days and has gotten 1 comment. 1! I thought it was funny... Was it not funny? Then tell me that!

I'm always for supporting homosexual/transexual/and even transgender rights. Especially when it can be in nonviolent reminders like this.
It still saddens me that any of this still happens.

Just know that some of these things ARE getting better. Slowly, but surely...

*I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.

*I am the person who is afraid of telling his loving Christian parents he loves another male.

*I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.

*I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.

*We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.

*I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.

*I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.

*I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again.

*I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.

*We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.

*I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.

*I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.

*I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.

*I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.

*I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.

*I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.

*I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.

*I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I did not have to always deal with society hating me.

*I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.

*I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.

* I am the former friend who saw a relationship held since childhood be stamped into dust because the significant other wanted me to show I trusted him to the utmost and to whom I did as requested by telling him I like men.

* I am the priest who thought she could find acceptance in the Lord for loving members of her own gender, but instead was forced to hide again because she found an establishment that had no place for one who could possibly 'taint' their vision of holy purity.

*I am the good natured gay man who was approached by a complete stranger (a priest) and told i was going to hell

*I am the girl who couldn't get close to other girls because the intimate thoughts she had about them were "wrong"

*I am the woman who after 19 years of catholicism, had a long, hard time accepting her bisexuality

*I am the woman who after newly discovering her bisexuality is afraid to tell her loving parents because they are catholic

*I am the supportive stranger who feels most at home at a sex show, and feels the best when she can help strangers thru her job at a sex shop, whatever their job, race, sexual preference- to become more comfortable with their own sexuality and closer to their partner


Re-post this if you believe homophobia/transphobia is wrong. Please do your part to end it. -END OF LINE-

I'm sorry, this move has taken way longer than I had anticipated, for various reasons. It requires me to sift through 20 pages of art, pick out what I want to keep, what I want to toss, and what I can clump together. This process is further disrupted by the fact that I've been in Fair all this week.

For those unfamiliar with the term, it's a 4H thing. It means basically that while other teens are on rides, and enjoying themselves, I'm sitting on a crowded bench with 4 or 5 other dogs who my dog Sly is intensely fascinated with irritating, not to mention the 50 some other dogs that bark sporadicaly and freak him out. People walk by and comment on us, I feel like the main attraction of the zoo, since everyone adores Sly. Then I get as fancy as I possibly can, and run Sly around in circles, and keep his legs in a perfect square formation, while we're both judged. Then we sit some more and somewhere in between that both our bodily funtions need to be attended.

So I do that for about 14 hours and I'm basically bushed. I expect to finish this

Okay, here's how it goes! Khalico is my new name, and it's replacing Chubbeh on both dA and FA. I'll be in the process of moving my gallery for quite some time, and when I'm done, I expect I'll contact FA and have them recycle this name so someone else can have it and it need not rot.
