MYSTERY Time! WHO IS THIS ARTIST?
A long time ago in a furry meet far away.....
Here's the story:
Recently, I was browsing some seriously old archived art on a dead drive and stumbled across some happy old memories. This was one. Scribbled out on a stray page of printer paper, mech-pencil and cheap felt-tip pen, SOMEONE scribbled this out, I have ALWAYS wondered who was responsible for this adorable little doodle.
Scribbled out in just a few minutes at fur-meet some time between 2000 and 2002 at Chairo's place...
(SP? raccoon guy? Fursuiter + long since changed name)
...in the SF Bay Area (CA, UC), I never got a chance to properly say "Thanks a ton!" to whoever blasted out this miniature masterpiece.
Looks a bit like Brian-O's work, but it's signed "Quick" or something like that, and I have no idea who that could be.
I think we watched a MST3K ep. featuring Jimmy Chin's art that day. IDK.
If anyone remembers a mega old-time fur artist this could possibly have come from, I'd be grateful for some identification, hints or even suggestions as to whom they could potentially be.
Any reasonable guess would be better than what little I have to go on.
Thanks.
(Obviously, since I'm searching for the artist, this is not my art)

I knew MOST of the people I traded art with or got freebies from, so for the most part, I know who and where everything came from.
There's two or three pieces I found abandoned at cons, and those are pretty anonymous, but this was someone picking up the clipboard that was my early sketchbook and just giving it a go.
DEF a pro, given the speed, but I was distracted with talk about what pens to use for ink and how the Sharpie I was carrying around wasn't all that great... and so I never got a name to go with that... just a really neat little doodle I admired for years after.

WOOT! Brian-O comment!
Yup. There's just something a bit different about this... a little too.... iDunno... linear?
The style just doesn't QUITE lineup with your drawing, and, of course, there's the dead giveaway of the signature being totally different. Def a work to be proud of, esp. for a >10min. scribble.
Yes, it was THAT Fast, so whomever it was DEF had some serious talent developed already.
If I recall correctly (which, often, I don't), the guy was a bit on the short side, young-ish (making him 38-50 now?), dark hair, and that day, was dressed in mostly black with a hoodie and ballcap... a little different from everyone else wearing animal themed Tshirts.
Wasn't A'kal-A'lis... I'd recognize that style, esp. in early development, and clearly wasn't you, but someone else with good enough pencil skill to QUICKLY do some decent shading, had a firm grasp of structure, a distinctive style, knew what they were doing with a (not-so-high-quality) pen and could make even cheap physical media look good on a page.
That really is as much info as I have, sorry.
