This piece caught my eye as I was surfing your gallery. I tried to do some googling on the original artist "Blair Bernard". I found no art or profile page, but I found a link that listed one of his aliases. I got the name "Blairz" and did some searching. I couldn't find anything linking that name with anything furry except for the yerf artist listing site. His user page( http://theory.asu.ru/public/downloa.....blai/index.htm ) has a broken picture with the description: "I had fun here, but now it's time to go! :) Gotta spend more time with my family, plus I haven't updated here in a while. Later, folks...!" The Geocities link listed next to his name is unfortunately broken. I guess he dropped off the face of the fandom and left nothing behind but his memory.

Hope this helped
