“A therianthrope is a person who feels a connection to a particular type of animal so strongly, s/he feels that s/he is, in fact, that animal in most ways except physical. This is an extremely powerful feeling that in most cases began at a very young age. It is usually accompanied by a strong desire to become that animal, lots and lots of instinctive behaviors, thoughts, and desires that echo the natural behavior of that animal--and sometimes, mental and emotional ‘shifts’ into the specific mindset of that animal. [...] We do NOT physically turn into animals (though the Universe knows we’d like to). [...] not all therianthropes ‘shift’, voluntarily or spontaneously. Some simply feel like an animal all the time.”

- Excerpt from “Therry-what??” by Ozenwolf, written in 2002. Read the full article here.

One definition of therianthropy uses some form of the phrase “In all ways except physical, I am an [animal].” Ozenwolf (he/him, wolf) and Swiftpaw (she/her, jaguar) both used the phrase in their essays from around 2002, as in this excerpt. That means the phrase is at least twenty years old, as of this writing. I don’t know who invented the phrase or when.

Back in the day, I drew all the original Pokemon (and a few from Generation II) along with a stylized form of their name. With Unown, I was able to combine both things into one image. :)

This was an art class assignment to extend, on scratchbaord, a famous artwork involving perspective.  I went with Escher’s Waterfall.

History doesn't repeat itself but it does rhyme

King Edward VIII, before he abdicated in 1936 to marry American divorcee Wallis Simpson, made some of his ministers uneasy when he simply said during a visit with desperately poor Welsh miners, “Something must be done.” Even the passive voice was too politically active. In 1649, King Charles I had his head cut off for setting his will above Parliament’s.

If Prince Charles wants to be king, groused one unnamed minister to the conservative Telegraph newspaper, “he’s got to shut up.”

Wayback Wednesday Art journal page from 2002 A Realized Wish

I still have this book, and it smells of beeswax, which I used to put down thickly on my art journal pages back then to keep the pages from sticking. I mostly use Dorland’s waxnow, which doesn’t need heating..you can rub some on your page or painting with a paper towel or use a palette knife, and it doesn’t yellow. If you use a paper…
