"I can't believe it!" When I saw BBF's Interactive Furry Art challenge, I figured, "What the heck, I'll send in an idea." Then today I log in and find BBF used my suggestion! Wow! I was so giddy I just had to make this quickie pic to show my appreciation. Thanks, BBF! (This interactive furry art is fun. I hope it catches on.)

"Hippo Hugs." I'm such a hippo fanatic that I've created my own hippo website (http://members.aol.com/HippoPage/). This is the Valentine's Day card I e-mailed to all the other hippomaniacs who signed my guest book.

Guess it's time to update my RL picture. This is me last Halloween in a bear costume I made all by myself (from a store-bought pattern). It came out a lot better than the previous year's bear suit, even if I did place the ears a tad low. Well, live and learn!

Being the major hippo fan that I am, I couldn't resist making this parody of the Riverdance poster. (You DO know that the word "hippopotamus" means "river horse," don't you?) Colored pencil drawing with a few computer enhancements.

Explanation: I work for a defense contractor, and my department supports a minifactory known as Central Circuit Card Assembly (CCCA for short). Due to a recent merger, the work performed by CCCA is being moved out of state, while work performed at other facilities is being moved to our location. Thus, everyone in my department is scrambling to find a new position. I've been hearing a lot of jokes about "rats deserting a sinking ship," which reminded me of a certain blockbuster movie, which led to THIS.

Haven't uploaded anything for a few months, but the "What if the world went furry?" challenge was too intriguing to resist. Here's my first contribution to the effort.
