Originally I wanted to be a technical artist, drawing the instructions for plastic model kits, but the plastic model Industry in CA dried up and blew away. I discovered 'Furry' fandom in 1987 and I've been drawing in that genre ever since. I enjoy mixing technical elements with fantasy characters, Furry or not. I also like to make my machines look like they'd work even if they have fantasy elements involved in them. I'm still learning how to create graphics on the computer, and I find the new media exciting and promising.

Motorcycles, and Pine Marten Maidens on my mind.
2 months ago
Hello Fellow FA Artists, writers, designers, photographers, and mechanically minded folks out there in FA land,
I've been playing around with the concept of Mister Thaddius J. Foxx visiting a County Fair near Memphor, Ohigho, where he attracts the attentions of a small troupe of Pine Marten ladies who take a fancy to him, because in the carny lights and excitement, his bright orange coat somewhat resembles a Pine Marten. To make things more interesting, the five Pine Marten gals perform a stunt show called "The wall of Death" where at least four of the performers do "Fur raising" stunts on small motorcycles where they zip around a vertical track, missing each other by inches.
I've narrowed the idea down to two brands of motorcycles for the show, which would be severely stripped-down Indian Chiefs, (War Surplus US army messenger bikes.) and maybe perhaps a couple Harley Davidson S 125s. The problem is, I know very little about motorcycles, and I get the impression the act is one requiring skill, nerves of steel, and knowing the limits on Marten and machine on the vertical track.
So, if any of folks out there who are following me know anything about riding motorcycles and have any advice on which motorcycles would be best suited for acrobatics and stunts, (Hopefully from the 1950s era.) please let me know.
Oh... And no Bananas will be allowed near the track.
"Peace."
