Further Confusion

As a brand new resident of the San Francisco Bay Area, I couldn't help but take advantage of my proximity to Further Confusion, the annual San Jose furry extravaganza. This past Saturday I drove down to San Jose to see what all the fuss was about.

We got to the show just in time to catch the parade, which was a perfect way to start the day. Then I got a chance to cruise around the Dealers' Room and ogle all the furry art. I bought this print from Thornwolf, whose work I've admired for a long time. I also got to say hi to the folks at BunnyWarez and see their work in person. Seemed like there was plenty of furry porn and leather collars and I even saw a booth selling amazing dragon dildos. And by dragon dildos I don't mean dildos shaped like cute little dragons, I mean dildos styled to look like actual dragon cock! This makes me think that Wolf Princess Designs might do well at an event like this and I'm planning on applying to vend there next year.

I didn't see any classes and the panel that I went to about dragons was pretty dull, so I can't say much about the programming- except for the dessert buffet that appeared at one point which was pretty awesome! The highlight for me was viewing the art in the Dealers' Room and silent auction and seeing the range of costumes. There were creatures of all species, shapes, and colors and some of them were rather inspiring. Everyone looked like they were having a great time- lots of smiles and hugs everywhere!

I'll end this post with some of my favorite costumes:


This puppy was the cutest thing- a hands-and-knees design that looked absolutely adorable toddling around the convention (photo by Pup Ajax).


I developed a particular fondness for this well-dressed hare (this photo also by Pup Ajax).


But the quadruped razorback stole the show- incredible!

Cat and Mouse

I just received two fabulous photos from a customer that I have to share with you, not because the white fluffy kitten set I made for her came out so well (although it did), but because of how much fun she's having with it:


Look at that sneaky smile! Now there's a cat who knows how to have a good time. What you can't see in the picture are the ten sharp metal claws at the tips of her paws- that mouse doesn't stand a chance!

I loved how the feeling of being a kitten came over me when I put everything on. I had so much fun!

Thanks so much for the photo, Kitten! You wear it well.
