Hey there! I've never had any problems showing my art, or the art
of other folks, to any of my friends. Granted, none of my friends
are into the furry genre, but they like to see whatever new stuff I
might be working on.
It may have to do with how certain folks are brought up. I've
never been one to cater to "good taste", nor have I ever been one to
follow the herd. I like drawing what I draw, and I'm going to _keep_
drawing it, regardless of whether there are individuals who think
it's porn or not. Hey, if it helps someone escape reality for a
little while, or helps them get their rocks off, then I've done my
job! ;)
Although, I don't forsee any of these pictures hanging in an art
museum anytime soon...
