I’ll just mention having an art Patreon in case anyone has, like, $5 to spare for Pride Month. You essentially get access to full-res versions of dozens of drawings that are otherwise only available in web-friendly sizes on other sites.

At the Furry Historical Fiction Society we not only self-publish, we edit democratically. All editing calls are votes, and proofreading duties are covered mutually but other authors. The point being that's about as #indieapril as it's possible for an anthology to be. Volume 3 coming soon: fhfs.ink

Han does lovely work, definitely check them out!

Heck it, I’m gonna see about this here too. Hi, all! So I’m looking for some work hours to pay my April rent coming up! My rates are 40USD per hour for all non-commercial work and I can paint just about anything! Yell at me here in comments or wherever?

The Coyotl Award nominations close soon! I have a few works that are eligible, so if fellow FWG members read any of the following and deem them worthy, please vote! 'Rafts' (Novella) 'The Price of Copper' (Short Story) 'Rites of Wood and Bone' (Short Story) 'Threads' (Short Story)

This popped up on my Facebook memories feed. I made an unbelievably tiny version of @utunu.bsky.social for his sculpture piece. For reference, my thumb is just over 1cm wide because I am Small. ~~~~ Foam clay with 3 cm aluminum armature inside. #crafts #art #furryart #sculpture

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Cybertrucks on fire off the shoulder of the road... I watched X-posts glitter in the dark near the gigafactory gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like rust from the rain. Time to die.

I finished it! This is Banook, my favorite character in the Noss Saga. He is enormous, nearly nine feet tall. The good boy next to him is Bear. This illustration is for Book 2, which is coming soon!

Finished reading Rafts by @utunu.bsky.social a couple days ago! It’s a beautiful story about a gnoll and human finding new meaning in their lives after being stranded on an island. An emotional triumph at all levels, its themes of love and letting go will stay with me forever. 1/2
