Furry Art

He Can’t Not Draw

Or so he says, anyway. “Physically incapable of not drawing.” You might be glad for this when you view the works of Nero O’Reilly with his decidedly modernist graphic arts style. He’s created several short comic-book style pieces with titles like Carnivore Planet, Red Rivers, and Crystal Wizard, as well as plenty of stand-alone art pieces in both color and black and white. Which you can view at this web site, Trumpet Shark. (Fair warning: Some of his works are of a decidedly adults-only nature.) His site also includes his personal store where you can pick up his works in print form, on buttons, or on stickers.

All Things Painterly

Laura Garabedian is a painter and illustrator who made the decision a few years ago to “go it full time” as an artist. To that end she has developed several signature styles and subjects, including animal shapes assumed by trees and animals decorated with Native American scripts and designs. As well as your “more standard” fantasy settings. (Is there such a thing?) Her Etsy store features several of her works in print form and also painted on ceramic, but her main web page will show you a more complete collection of her work.

Hang It On Your Chest, Hang It On Your Body

Myrtle’s Monsters is the home of one Myrtle Monster (makes sense), a fan who has made a name for herself in a very short time. Since 2013 Myrtle has been creating not only fur-suits but that other so-popular furry art form, personal character art badges. Her personal web site features a full-color gallery of her already-extensive work as well as commission information.

More Chances to Wear Your Furriness Around

Fandom Fashions (“By Fans, For Fans”) have really upped their game recently. Their updated web site features many new designs for t-shirts and other handy clothing, with new designs covering many areas of fandom, pop culture, and yes, furry. Brought to you by none other than the artist known as Zhivago. (Whom, you may recall, was Guest of Honor at CaliFur 2015 — and whom you often see at many furry and comic book conventions.) Check it out.

Flights into Fantasy

Margaret Trauth is an illustrator (and dancer, of all things!) with a stark, often line-less style that relies heavily on color. (This is not at all a bad thing.) At her web site (“Egypt Urnash”) you’ll find not only examples of her illustrations (on prints, t-shirts, and other such goodies) but also full-color comics that she has worked on, including the adults-only title Five Glasses of Absinthe. Some of this is adults-only, some of it is not, but all of it is quite fanciful.

It Puts Fur On Your Chest!

Tiger Brand Clothing Company is a t-shirt creation outfit with some very furry leanings… both in messages and in graphics. Much of it decidedly silly (even the ones not featuring otters), with more new designs behind added all the time. They even sell specialty hangers! They have their own web site where you can purchase their current designs.  And of course, keep checking back for more.

From the Toonish to the Weird

She’s an artist who simply goes by Rozga, and her colorful art works include furry subjects, fantasy, and… odd things. Like the picture below. A full-time artist since 2014, besides her presence on several well-known art sites she also has both an Etsy store and a Society 6 site where her work can be found on t-shirts, phone covers, throw pillows, and other such goodies.

Painting Many Subjects On Many Surfaces

Another artist we found at Further Confusion: Sandy Schreiber, visiting all the way from the mid-west. She paints a variety of human, anthro-furry, and fantastic creature subjects, and she’s even branched out into painting them on china plates and other smooth surfaces. You’ll find her on FurAffinity and Deviant Art, but she also has her own web site that features both her completed full-color works and a selection of her sketches.

The Artist Gets Around

One of the artists (one of many!) we ran into at Further Confusion goes by the name of Ishaway Friestad. “I am an visual illustrator, working in a variety of medias, both traditional and digital. I have shown my work at fantasy conventions and a couple of art shows.” She works on a wide variety of colorful products, too! She has an Etsy store for those items she makes entirely herself, and a Redbubble store for other items that she decorates and puts up for sale. And look up her personal web page too, where she displays her latest art projects.
