** To My Furry Friends and Fans **
To my beloved friends and furry fans,
This image and small note is dedicated to my many furry friends and fans who have supported me throughout the years I've been in the Fandom.
Today marks the 7th anniversary of me being on FurAffinity ( June 20th, 2006 12:44 ). I know this may seem a bit weird and random to do an image to "celebrate" 7 years on FA, but to me, I just find it a bit amazing. This is also my 10th year going on DeviantArt and my 11th year going on VCL. It was near 12 years since I was first introduced to the fandom. To me, that is a long time to be part of a vast and growing community. It hasn't been easy working with the fandom over the past years. There were a lot of ups and downs that happened to me while being an artist, but I always remained steady thanks to all my loyal friends and fans who has supported me throughout the years.
My art has suffered here and there. Some pieces in the past were stolen and rendered for personal, private and profitable reasons by others. Whenever my friends and fans who knows my art finds a piece that doesn't belong on a website or product, they contact me about it. From there the issue is dealt with and whenever I needed help, my friends and fans are there to support me and back me up within a heartbeat. I have never took my friends and fans for granted since I know that they believe in me and my artwork and have so much respect for it that they don't want to see it slandered or defiled. With friends and fans like you guys, I will always find inspiration to continue to grow, draw and write stories. Every thoughtful comment, email and criticism you leave behind on my artwork continued to motivate me to keep drawing.
I feel like I'm rambling. It's hard to thank so many people over the coarse of a decade, both veterans and new! A lot of things have happened to me as a 'furry' artist. But without the vast and strong support of everyone who believes in me and wishes me to keep going and creating more artwork, I will continue to grow and create touching stories and cute images that connects to people in the fandom.
Thank you everyone for many years of artistic support! Here is PussyCat, wearing her PBJ Banana suit along with her "Purple Spotted Green Horned Monster hat", presenting a orange alcoholic drink. It's a drink based off of her "Orange Milkshake" idea, but in a martini form, I don't trust it. Hey Look! Sparklers!

Congratulations on holding on for so many years, and I'm glad you've got so many people who enjoy your work and who are looking out for you. I've been in the fandom for many years, myself, and I've always been a big fan of your work. I believe I actually found you on the VCL, and it has been a real pleasure to watch your art evolve over the years. I love the little blurbs you write for each picture, too, and the way you can make us think and feel so many things.
This is an absolutely adorable picture, too. PussyCat is always so cute!

You have actually a little something on your art who make it totally original. If I saw a art who has that little something of you on a other website, I'll contact you. :3
Keep the awesome flow through your vein! *Hug*

In my mind, you are by far the best furry artist i've ever seen. and it's through your stuff over the years, i was exposed to rather deep thoughts and the idea of the ups and downs of being part of the furry fandom. i always look forward to every work you do as it's both visualy pleasing but deep as well. so here's to you and for being as auwsome as you always have been.
