I drew throughout high school and experimented with various media but got along with graphite or ink the best. drew various subject matter but i like big cats the best. Thought about going to art school and continued to dabble and experiment for another 3 years after HS. Started using colored ink in rapid-o-graph pens and started doing stippling only pics.
One day there was an accident, just a little thing, but I lost my Muse and couldn't bring myself to draw again for 31 years. Not a pic. I thought about it often and wondered often if circumstances would ever be right to get me started again. It was kind of tearing me up deep inside.
Then one day a young fox I know introduced me to the furry fandom and the various web sites. I had been a sci-fi/fantacy novel fan for decades, that and my love of drawing and the big cats clicked together then. I think she had been pounding on my front door for quite some time but it took the fox to open my ears to it and let the Muse back in.(March 2010)
Anyway, 3 months later I attended my first con. AC.
Also trying my hand at sci-fi/fantacy writing.Have several shorts in.the works and a couple novels outlined.Many of my pics so far are illustrations from some of the stories. I find it easier to do a pic when I have a story to go with it.
*****NOTE: I Have another account where I will be posting my adult stuff thought it will all still be mild pin-ups and tasteful artistic nudity. Sorry, no porn.****** Teiirka2
I will be posting older art there first then new stuff that will soon be in the works.
Also, Don't forget to check out my Graphite Tigress Account TeiirkaTigressPortfolio This is not my work but is work I have commissioned for this open-ended project.
I am Christian but my beliefs are quite eclectic overall and I am a firm believer in animal spirit guides.

YCH Update. And Life...
a month ago
As most of you who have a slot in my latest YCH queue may have noticed, I have not been very productive of late. I greatly apologize for this but my regular job has got me working six days a week rather than my regular four day M-T work week, (4 10 hr days). Fridays and Saturdays I now have to make an appearance mornings and evening , (at the very least. I worked 8.5 hours Friday in one shot and three hours in two appearances on Saturday. I run the CNC machine shop where I work, tending CNC lathes and mills, three of which run 24/7 !!! Those three are the issue and what are keeping me mentally and physically exhausted. For almost a year, we were caught up more or less but we came out with a new product and we are trying to get to the distributers in large quantities and get established market wide before anyone comes out with a copy. This is a better situation than in 2021-22 when we came out with our main product which had me working SEVEN days a week for a year and a half! Some of you may remember me disappearing for almost two years, well that was the cause. Hey, overtime pay is great but is it really worth the stress? And it is Damn stressful! The big problem is that I'm 65 freaking years old and I really feel it physically anymore...
This time around won't be nearly as bad though as the assembly which has seven parts that I make, run in large quantities quickly.
You may be wondering why we don't have someone else to help. Well the boss has been trying for a few years now to find someone but being in the deepest, darkest rural part of Iowa and with rather inadequate pay, we've had no takers. I have one year till full SS retirement age and the boss might want to start looking harder. Are any of you out there a CNC machine programmer/set up/maintaince/opperator that is looking for a job to get away from it all?
Anyway, ART UPDATE. I am nearly done with YCH 2 slot #4 and have a couple more I have worked up an approved sketch. I'll do as best as I can but I don't know what my schedule will be during the next month or two, SO... if any of you do not wish to wait the extra time, I will gladly issue a REFUND. Let's hear from you.
