If you want to know about why i'm doing this- this is one reason-- i got this letter from zeuslion and i'm posting it (with permission) because i was so touched and it really is exactly what this project is about.
Jay,
I'm Ben / ZeusLion, we met briefly at the KCFurs breakfast in July and then spoke again for a few moments at First Fridays. I just wanted to take the opportunity to let you now how much I enjoyed getting a first hand look at your work and what a pleasure it was getting to meet and speak with you, however briefly.
As I'm sure you've experienced the Furry Fandom can often be a rather insular group, weary of outsiders and mainstream views on our world. It is such a pleasure when someone can see something beautiful and universal in our little culture that we ourselves cannot always articulate and then find an interesting, accessible way of presenting it to a larger audience. That's what your work meant to me, and I really appreciate that! Additionally, the art within our community, so much of it is superficial and, well, rather vain beauty. It was nice to see work that dealt more directly with feeling, emotion, the essence of the subject rather than his perfect abs or her suggestive pose.
All that to say thank you for your work and for just being a fun person to talk to. If you continue this project, I hope you'll come back with it KC again sometime. Even if not, you've got a new fan in Kansas City. Good luck and thanks again.
- Ben a.k.a. ZeusLion |
