Description So here's my guest strip for the wonderful webcomic, Vinci and Arty!

For those who didn't catch the journal where I talked about it, Vinci and Arty is a comic I've been reading since I was just a kid-- not long after I first got on the internet. The art is wonderfully expressive and endearing, the writing is fun, and best of all, it's a 'furry' comic that's more or less completely devoid of the pr0n and drama that the fandom has unfortunately become known for.

My first exposure to online anthropomorphic art was through comics like this.

Its author and artist is Candy DeWalt (sp?) and she's not only an incredible artist, she's also just an incredibly sweet and wonderful person. I absolutely cannot contain my glee at having been given the opportunity to do this strip, especially such an important one!

The strip can be viewed over here!

It's a bit easier to read over there, too.


The characters Arty and Icarus are (c) Candy!

Thank youuu!

And yeah comics are pretty hard and take a long time. XD;; I love them though-- to be entirely honest, I would adore being a graphic novelist.

Holy cow. Beautiful work, and no I'm not "just saying that". I read Vinci and Arty till my computer blew up! You really drew the characters in a highly recognizable fashion, and the emotion is flat out stunning. My heart really aches for poor Arty in there. His dad, too.
