Timothy A. Bear has been kind enough to volunteer his participation in a project I think we're all very excited for:

Timothy A. Bear posted:

Probably not the best idea to start a thread on my own after being banned for a year. However, if someone else would like to I'll be happy to add to it.

So please bring all pertinent questions and art requests (hopefully with money?) for our guest cartoonist!

DVG81 has a good question to start us off:

Tim, was there any specific inspiration for the "Dr. Aborto" story? Do the Anthropomorphics for Christ interface with the abortion aspect of the story in any particular way, or are they there as a more general affirmation of being a Christian furry?



Also here is possible avatar material for all you Obamacans:

I think the cartoon has always been explicit; I just kept the sexual innuendoes buried because I was hoping to see Faithmouse syndicated one day. Now that I realize that won't happen it doesn't matter.

All the characters have sexual motivation, which I think is honest. If you consider the issues of greatest concern to Christian conservatives and Catholics, you come right up to the fact that sex is at the heart of all of these issues, and then the conversation can't proceed further.

As I posted recently on POE-

a few statements I believe are true-

God is real, and God is love.

God is the creator of procreation, desire, and eros.

God wants us to be happy.

I like to draw naked mice.

Drawing naked mice makes me happy.



Otherwise, I believe a natural function of art is to reconcile disparate elements. I also take myself much less seriously. I mean, except for a few thousand people on the internet hardly anyone cares about what I do, so I might as well draw whatever I'd like.

That sounds like a really healthy view on things!

As a Christian and artist, do you find any antecedents in "Christian eroticism?" St. Therese or the Interior Castle, for instance? Or do you think this understanding of Jesus' love couldn't really properly be expressed until the modern age?

This is really interesting. So I assume Gay Bear's desire is not in itself bad. Is the object of that desire okay too, or has something gone wrong in attaching that desire to its object?

Timothy A. Bear, can I ask you if your renown for drawing naked mice and other strange sexual things ever interferes with your attempts to present yourself as a legitimate mainstream artist, as you do on your website for instance?

edit: what I'm saying is that even though your portraits show quite a bit of skill are customers ever just like "no i don't really want my portrait taken by the guy that drew butts.gif"
