Going thru my archives, I came across an artist that I hadn't checked his site out in years. It had been 6 years or so since the last time I mentioned his work, and I was glad to see that he is still plugging away at his art.
His name is Chris Komater - website - and he does some really 'special' stuff in relation to fur. This is what I wrote concerning his work back in November '01 on Bear-Pics: "Sometimes you think - everything has been done with fur; that nothing new can come out of fur. We, the Bear lovers of the planet, have gotten used to the little furry events in our lives that we take for granted - like pulling fur from our teeth after a night of romp, or spending hours unclogging the tub when our trick takes a shower. And we, the Bear lovers of the world, we just can't seem to get enough of fur on photograph. We scurry about the net picking up as many furry pics as our hard drives can muster. And even though we stroke our knob as we examine or lick all the fur of the world, we realize - nothing new can be done with fur.
Well, my little fur-inhalers, today you are going to experience something new with fur, and we have to thank Chris Komater for this. Now, it might not be what you expect. New things sometimes take awhile to get used to. I'll be honest here and say that some of his stuff is really great, while some of his stuff I just don't understand. But hey, I'm not cultured, so what the hell do I know...?".
You have to check out his stuff (like his 'Jack and Mack' project), and I seem to have rediscovered his material at a good time because he now has a sale going on for some of his prints. Also, take a look at this recent Bearotic interview.
