I got to contribute to this article!  Really nice little piece about furry art and indie artists.  :)

I feel like I haven’t mentioned it lately, but yeah, furries are usually some of the best customers to work with. I have MUCH fewer problems with these guys than standard clients, and it’s an easy niche to break into. Can’t recommend it enough!

I knew a girl in college (200..2ish?, when furries were kind of an internet boogieman, the Comedy Lolocaust was in ‘04 I think?) who paid if not her tuition at least her living expenses off furry art, taking commissions during the school year and hitting the con circuit in the summer

she wasn’t really in the fandom, way she explained it as an adolescent filling up sketchpads, she got a scanner around the same time she discovered there were Usenet groups to talk about the Redwall books
