Foxy Flapper And Furry History

Furry History




Art by Foxy Flapper.

One of the problems of drawing anthros is the tendency to put their images in isolation from a real universe.  I ought to know, I regard backgrounds as anathema and use of color an annoyance.  
I recently tried Google+ again and I find the same old story.  Most sites have no focus, it appears that the furry thing attracts only young, stupid kids with no inner compass.  No stories, no character development, abysmal art.  Raiders and other children cannot leave these sites alone.  Posting is slow to non-existent, and the site dies under it's own weight.  Most sites have no direction and no originality, and this is particularity apparent in comic book sites.  Comics have a long and very interesting history, and yet I cannot find a one that does not feature Marvel or DC's stock superheroes who represent the corporate bottom line instead of story.  So when I find talent and intelligence it is a real treat to view such a site.
The above is Foxy Flapper's rendition of the marriage of Arthur and Guinevere.  She has a site devoted to fashion through the ages, with furries who look like genuine living beings.  Although a small site in terms of membership, it is starting to grow and with good reason.
Her site has a purpose.
Her co-conspirator on this site is the published artist Zannah L., who contributes a great deal to Furry Conventions, which is where I first heard of her.  Terrific art.




Moonprincess, Zannah L.

These young ladies are putting up outstanding work.  Other than porn, few sites have any kind of point to make.  I have been a lifelong student of period costume, which is why I don't post my silly rabbit pictures to Furry History. I have one up which I am sick of looking at of a rabbit in armor.  Most of my rabbits wear armor or very little, they are covered in fur after all.  I drag stuff from far better artists than me and post them to Furry History.  Oh, and I do have my version posted of Bugs Moran's Awful, Very Bad, Terrible Day.
But Ms. Flapper really likes the 1920's.  Her pictures of club life in the jazz age are a delight.  Although I did not ask for permission to post this particular video, I wish people to get an idea of why I like this site:

This is raw talent on display.  




Miss Glory by Foxy Flapper.  The word "Follies" belongs in here somewhere.

Well, this has been my post for the day.  Even though Mister Scribbles is all about my vain, delusional, frequently drunk, grouchy, violent, brooding, neurotic, whiny, psychotic, and all round poorly rendered bunny even I have to recognize that there is genuine talent and skill out in the unrewarding and underestimated world of Furry Art.  But take not my word for it, here is the address-

Knock on the basement door and tell the guy at the eyeslit that Foxy sent you!

Two Bad Men, Said Their Murderers

John Choate, 25 August 1818 - 3 August 1869 Crokett Choate, 1842 -3 August 1869 This tells of a grave by the dashing wave A fond friends lip that did quiver Of an eye that's hid by a leaden lid And a voice now stilled forever. John on the left.  They were originally buried where they were killed but October of that year the Refugio Masons moved the bodies to Rockport.  This was all part of the Sutton-Taylor feud, the Suttons were backed by the U. S. Government and of no particular righteousness, they were badge wearing murderers and bullies.  The two story house with the porch running around the second floor in the left background belongs to my sister.  A lovely house and the best behaved neighbors possible!

The Madonna Of Stalingrad

Image
This superior drawing is known as the "Madonna of Stalingrad".  It was drawn by Lt. Kurt Reuber, a doctor and a protestant pastor.  It measures 3' by 4', and is charcoal on the back of a Soviet map.  It reads, running down the left side, Christmas at the siege, Fortress Stalingrad, Light, Love, Life.  It was flown out by his battalion commander (why was an officer leaving, his place was with his men) on what Wikipedia says is the last flight out but I dispute that.  Could be, though.  Reuber died in a work camp.  He drew another before his death.  The original is on display at the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial church in Berlin. The Prisoner's Madonna.  Reuber. The Germans starved their POW's to death, by policy.  The Russians then starved their German prisoners to death, by policy.  Of the 91,000 6th Army prisoners, 6000 would return home a decade later. 'The Eastern Front was the armies of two mass murderer...
