Jockstrap Tiger: Wallpaper

Hey there Patrons and Public.

Here are four images of Jockstrap Tiger, including b/w and phone versions. Check the attached files.

I hope they're to your liking. I tend to find subtle colouring or straight up b/w easier on my eyes. If you enjoy the look of these enough to use them as wallpaper, please let me know!

Work Smarter, Not Harder: Design vs. Exploration

Greetings Patreon Members and public friends!

In my series about creating better work more easily, I wanted to talk about how to get more done with less effort.

One of my mentees has the goal of optimizing his time. He’s nearing the end of his art program, and could feel something lacking but wasn’t exactly sure what to change in his process. Whether it comes to creating something self-sustaining, or just pushing a hobby you’re passionate...

Resin: Jonathan On Fire

Public post

Hello patrons and other friends. Happy May to you all.

This is an usual piece from my normal Resin offerings. This was a collaboration between Ishaway,  Deo and myself: three friends that were at Furry Weekend Atlanta. At the time I had just recently moved in with Deo. Ishaway was joining us...

(NSFW) What should pro artists do with their weird fetishes?

Public Post

Hello, Patrons and other friends.

This is a public post because, despite the NSFW themes, this is an important message that I wish more people were talking about in art. Even with the cultural revolution of the internet, we are still in the growing pains of what it means to create pornography or touch sexual topics at all while also existing as nuanced individuals with platonic--and sometimes even professional--lifestyles.

We're Back From TFF 2019!

Texas Furry Fiesta 2019

This is a public post.

It’s good to be back, Patrons and other friends.

My TFF experience last year was far different from this year’s. Last year came while I was still torn asunder between two countries and a relationship with three other people. Sasha and I had to do far more back-and-forth driving just to get to the dealer’s den with all items. We had less table space then, less products, and less art...

Animus Solo: Angry

Vent art. I normally respect the concept but do not encourage it in myself. It's about releasing pressure, buying time, keeping your head above water. Sadly, venting is never about treating symptoms. Animus Solo was about venting,  about not waiting for the conclusions before jumping into the middle of my feelings. This image is about earlier last week, when I was so angry that I jumped.

August was the last time my sister and I talked. I used to be closer to he...

Doing Easy Art

Public Post

Greetings, my dear patrons. I wanted to talk for a moment about creating "easy art".

To set the stage, I first wanted to let everyone know that I AM ANIMA has finally concluded, and that BEOKAY: The Dark Art of Self Therapy is in the editing process for a physical and ebook launch. This was the cap on a series of work spanning the last five years, and ...

Surgery Fundraiser Sale!

Hey Patrons and Public!

Eurofurence 2018 Report

Pictured above: #doitfortheBOTF at the Artist Lounge


Hello, my dear friends and public.

Ever since elementary school, I’ve been revisiting locations and wondering how much of the old Jonathan was left over. During summertime this took the form of the oldest camp meeting in the country. Before the end of university, I’d shift my yearly highlight to the digital arts convention, SIGGRAPH. And as of 2012, furry conventions have served as my 2018-09-01 02:49:17 +0000 UTC View Post
