I'd buy that... or a few dozen.

Y'ever have deja vu?

Over and over again.

There's something familiar about that avatar...

Indeed. I made it. :)

Well, I love it. Totes adorbs.

The title even has a pun in it XD

I'm kinda curious, is it still ali.... aware?

It seems pretty happy to be useful..

3D print that. I'll bet you'd get buyers...

I'll take two! XD

Two are necessary ... unless you have an infinite number of books and an infinitely long shelf to put them on.

or shelf got wall

Darn. Why didn't I think of that. I'm a true book lover, I guess.

or you have a circular room :P

Or I just glue my books together...

Static cling!
speaking of books and shelves.. I have particular paperback ( J.R.Tolkien, LoTR in original language, book 3 ito be precise) that keeps leaping off shelf... even woke me up scared once..

A fox on the other end?

I prefer to think this is not her "end" as such, although possibly the end of her active career and the beginning of a very long passive one.

She's a happy bunny, so I'm guessing a moody-looking "goth" bunny on the other (no clothes, just the attitude).

I have a real soft spot for book related petrifications, this is wonderful! And with a simultaneously classical and modern looking style, I could see her equally cast in bronze as I could in alabaster or marble.

There's a business idea, to have these things mass produced by 3D printing, then sell them on Etsy.

I don't really have the investment money handy -- nor do I do the con circuit (the best place to see such stuff). I'm also retired except for the ocassional commission.

If you're retired, then how do you keep the lights on and the water flowing?

For the last few years I've lived on Ontario Disability Support Program payments. At 65, in about three months, I switch to Canada Pension Plan/Old Age Security/Guaranteed Annual Income. The three services should even add up to a larger monthly income than at present. I also live in an income-based rent property owned by the city, so my rent is not as high as the market price. Most people would regard my standard of living rather mean, but it's actually better than it was when I had to struggle for a living as a free lance artist.

God I love this kind of petrification artwork, especially when the subject looks so content to serve as an object.

When I started, there was almost none ... just the occasion illustration of Greek myth or a still from one of a small number of horror movies.

However, there's thousands and thousands of petrification illos now, and more added to the internet every day. Most of it is only photographic, however, with the colour removed from the subject. Big deal! A lesser but still huge amount is computer made. It serves the purpose better, but has a tendency to all look alike. The petrification art I like best is usually hand drawn and has a style not mistaken for anyone else's.

I know exactly what you mean. I follow a fair few "artists" in this area over on DeviantArt (which is actually where I found your stuff), yet most of them just slap a gold or grey filter over a photograph or some anime scene and call it a day. Moreover, none of them really explore the possibilities of petrification: if I had a dollar for every single "Medusa's garden" picture I've seen, I could probably afford to research actual petrification technology!

That's why I particularly like your stuff: it has variety, it's restrained and best of all, it's Furry/anthro.

Being furry or anthro does't work for everyone's tastes -- which is why I do some that isn't that.

True, but the inverse is also correct, and I've found that most petrification art uses human subjects - which is fine, but I find Furry/anthro much more appealing.
