If my school told me no more furry drawings, I'd have probably drawn so much more that I got good at it and would be pretty well off right now after doing a lot of comissioned work for a rich dude who's really into giant versions of Starfox and Falco.

My school told me i'm not allowed to draw these Mad magazine style folding pictures anymore. So i became an expert in it and it never helped me in my real life at all

Speaking of... I need to see if the new printed Mad Magazine is any good.

This is more or less how I found myself paying rent for art. Took limited art classes, just doodled everywhere and was told to stop. Posted stuff online in the early 2000s and caught a few stray commissions.

I felt this and the meme hard.

Where would someone find these furry loving rich dudes ?? I've never drawn a furry but I'd be willing to start right now!!

The market has been pretty well cornered compared to 20 years ago. These days you've got to be pretty good to solicit commissions.

Memory unlocked.

I learned that furries were a thing in 2000. Was acquaintances with a guy that hung out at Wiffle Horse late at night.

Friend of a friend social group stuff. He was always in a booth sketching.

We were all on so much drugs.

My mind was blown that he was selling pictures of cartoon rabbits in football gear and that he was doing it over the internet. His stuff was totally queer. I remember him explaining yiff and how hard we all laughed that he was actually making fat stacks on it.

Thanks for reminding me of that!
