How to start a morning: find the slippers, get the coffee, open computer, read The Woofington Post. Do this every morning and you'll be a Bear in the know. It's a new blog and it's the "source for all things big & furry with special focus on the New York City scene". They are also seeking contributors for topical info for the NYC area including "nightlife, photography, restaurants, bear runs, politics, businesses and more". Thanks to Bearotic for pointing out this blog.

Let us embark into the wonderful world of Eric Nielson's photography. Please seat yourself very comfortably, take in a long and meaningful deep breath... hold it for a second, and then release... repeat... breathe in... breathe out...

Ok, first let's head on over to Eric's official website. Here you will find some of his finest photos he's taken (all conveniently shown thru a slideshow), his contact info (he's in sunny San Francisco), and you'll also find a link to his blog Observd with the byline 'Life in the Castro thru the Lens of TroublePup' (that being his nickname). And finally you'll see a link entitled Bearracuda. Now Bearracuda is a party that takes place in San Francisco the 1st and 3rd Saturday every month at Deco, and Eric is their designated photographer (Bearracuda's website - articles - profile).

Eric is creative with his camera, he's innovating, and his photos are filled with life proving that you can have a blast with photography. Not only that, a lot of the guys he photographs are these incredibly handsome Bearish men smiling genuine smiles. His stuff is erotic, sexy and fun, all at the same time.

Ok... ok... some more of Eric's fine work. Head on over to his Flickr page and you'll discover even more of his excellent shtuff... he truly knows how to frame a guy. So I will leave you with that, and a few words that Eric wrote of himself from his profile on Flickr. He states that he's "just your average pagan, liberal, socialist, queer photographer living in San Francisco documenting everything that the Republicans are scared to death about".

... Wh...what...? You need even more of Eric Nielson's sthuff...? Fine. Check out this link to his page on SmugMug. Now some of the galleries are password protected so that might mean you'll have to email Eric and say something really nice for you to see his naughtier side.

It wasn't too long ago when I mentioned in the news about the wonderful drawings found in Charlie's Sketch Book (website - blog - article). Since that article, I have gotten to chat with Charlie via email and what a great bloke he's turned out to be. He told me that he's planning a trip to Canada with a chance of us meeting up, and if we do meet up, he just might do a live sketching of Roger (galleries - profile) if he has the time. Make sure to check out his work, it's sheer talent mixed in with the love of art making.

Chris Capone is slowly unleashing himself upon the world... and I'm digging every moment of it. Chris is this very cute soft speaking husky fellah that just happens to be the grandson of the original gangster Al Capone. Yup, Al Capone - be afraid (joking... I think).

Chris has been busy of late getting his story out, first by writing a book Son of Scarface to now working on a potential TV show as a mob leader. He's also been very hard at work on his ChrisCapone.com website: Chris has a great eye for what's going on in this world and he does a real good job at blogging about it. And his latest advent is now YouTube, so make sure to subscribe to his channel and check out his first video with many more to come.

Oh... I forgot to mention that Chris is a full fledge Bear. I'm sure his grandfather, if he were alive today, wouldn't have a clue what to say about Chris... but I know what I would say if I would ever meet him... Woof...! (followed by a few pants). It's time to follow Chris' story if you haven't yet (articles - feature).

Chris Capone has been working real hard on his new blog site entitled ChrisCapone.com. It is the 'great gangster's blog' all the while being 'gangster fabulous'. You see, Chris Capone is the grandson of the notorious gangster Al Capone.

Chris discovered his legacy at the age of 13 and he put it all down in his book 'Son of Scarface' (website - article with more photos of Chris). And what's really interesting for us is that Chris is a really super cute looking Bear.

I asked Chris what his blog was about and he responded that it's a little of everything and anything. His topics range from the current political debate to talking about what's going on in the entertainment world, all the while interjecting his own opinions and insights. The site is updated all the time so it's definitely something you need to check out, sometimes even twice a day.

Also, I know that Chris is working on something TV related although the cat is not completely out of the bag yet. It's either a reality-like show involving Chris or it might have something to do with Chris being the head of a mob group. Once I know more, I'll pass the news on.

His name is Charlie Hunter and he enjoys sketching... and his sketches are really out of this world - see for yourself at Flux Art. He has a knack for catching the essence of what a Bear is on paper. He pencils them in with such a fine detail that they are almost lifelike, and there's a few of his sketching that make it to paint, adding a whole other dimension with colour and depth.

There's not much about Charlie himself on either his site or on his blog, but you do find out what kind of man he is by the work he does, and he does some truly fine and excellent work. Go discover Charlie's sketching for yourself.

I have mentioned this site before but it definitely is worth mentioning once again. It's called Bearotic (profile) and it's one of the best new Bear sites online. It's a blog with a big Bear heart, a site that is updated on regular basis with great articles and plenty of Bearish videos like this one.

From their site: "Bearotic is entertainment for Bears and the furry at heart. So whether you're a big burly lumberjack or just a lil' Cub admiring the view, we want you to have a good time and enjoy yourself here. Entertainment can mean a lot of different things to different people. So we do our best to present a wide variety of topics, events, artists and media. And since we think a little retail therapy is the best kind of entertainment, Bearotic also features products and services that lets you bring the experience home and into your lifestyle. Bearotic was created by a couple of media-hungry Bears who wanted to build an all-inclusive, light-hearted and low-stress place to share what's fun, amusing and even hawt. We love finding things in this big, Beary world to present to you".

There are 112 million blog sites on the net supposedly, and there's more and more Bear blog sites, and quite a few of them are photo blogs. There's one I came across, and I believe I mentioned it before in an article (check archives for blogs), but I'm pretty sure I didn't give it its own article. If you like lycra or spandex, then make sure to check out the Bears and Dads Spandex Fun site. aka 'see how far you can stretch that material'.

The truly cute Perdido (website - blog - profile) has added another episode to his Bear Degeneration. This is episode #17. Now this is just to let you know this cartoon is in Italian, however we (Perdido and I) have been working on Englishifyizing (I made that up) his cartoons... in other words, we've been translating them, and I am working on #9 (coming soon). To see the others in English, click here (they are in the archives pages, so start from the bottom of the page)

Artist Christophe Jannin (articles - blog - profile - website) sends in some updates as he plans for his upcoming exhibition in Lyon (France) which will be taking place at 'Le Station B' from July 25th thru August 15th (flyer).

From Christophe: "Winter is here in New Zealand, bloody freezing, stormy, rainy, haily. I am now counting the days before I leave to go to France for the holidays. Taking off on Tuesday night and landing in Paris on Wednesday 8 in the evening. About 22 hours flying, roughly a 30 hours trip with the stop in Singapore.

I have just finished my latest drawing entitled 'The Rite of Spring' (full image). A drawing full of optimism and very pastoral, the format is in the 'Italian way', meaning horizontal which is very unusual for me since I prefer a vertical format. In fact, physically it's two drawings, composed as a diptych but reunited with the colour version".

A long time ago when the internet was innocent and full of life, there was a popular Yahoo! group called Bear Mythology. I was a member of it and I remember it having more topics being covered than any other Bear mailing list (even moreso than the original Bear's Mailing List).

Many years later, I chanced upon BearMythology.net, and guess what, it's run by the same chap who ran the Yahoo! group. What's great is that he has brought over the greatness of his newsletter onto this blog. His name is Will and you can learn more about him here, and I asked Will to describe his blog, and this is what he had to say:

"BearMythology is a personal blog dedicated to admirers of Bearish men. If I find someone 'Bearish', whether he be gay or straight, then I will post about him. I tend to post about media personalities (celebrities, athletes) and personal sites. I have a personal preference towards the bigger Bears (Grizzlies, Chubs), but I also keep an open mind and celebrate the smaller Bears. I post as much photos, videos, and information about these Bears, as well as injecting some humor, personal opinions, and even stories (fan fiction I refer to as BearFics). My armpits fetish tends to dominate my blog posts; and I also have this fetish towards bondage, gut-punching and ball-busting (which I refer to as BearBeat).

BearMythology started out as a Yahoo! Group, but it's time to evolve into the Blogosphere so that our normally lesser-known/unknown Bearish men are exposed into the mainstream and be appreciated by all (from Bear admirers to our heterosexual brethren).  BearMythology strives to provide a positive image towards men who are typically stereotyped and ridiculed in our current media outlets. Do stop by once in a while. I'm positive that you will enjoy your visit".

it's once again time to add another great Bear site to your list of favourites. It's called Bearotic - The Bear Blog. Wow, tons of fun stuff on this site, one you should plan on checking daily to see what new stuff they've posted.

I asked the good looking gents who run Bearotic to send me a little something about themselves, and the following is what they have to say: "Stimulating entertainment for Bear men and their admirers. Your daily dose of fuzz including photos, video, news and information pulled from all over the net. The Bear community has developed a wide and diverse presence on the web. But who can keep up? Bearotic was created by Bears, for Bears, in an effort to find and broadcast the best of the best in Bear media.

The site's content is as diverse as their logo which shows faces of the Bear community ranging from cubs to grizzlies. Got a couple minutes to surf the net at work? Bearotic.com is also work safe. We don't show any full frontal nudity. So you can still find some 'stimulating' Bear entertainment without causing your boss or coworkers to have a fit.

What is Bearotic's definition of stimulating? According to their photographer, 'The idea is to leave something to the imagination of the viewer. It's all too easy to get the whole enchilada these days. We want our images to inspire by giving you a warm and fuzzy feeling, not a wet and sticky one'. That's Bearotic!".

Here is one great blog - it's called Cubs Out Loud - 'The Bear Blog of Indeterminate Length'. I first heard about this site in one of Nard's BearPodCast episodes so I checked it out and wow, it's one site you need to bookmark and visit almost on a daily basis. These guys are busy with event postings, Bear news concerning artists, links to videos and music and they write some truly interesting articles. On top of all that, they post a regular COL podcast. You gotta love their 'busy'-ness and it's all about the Bear man... and they young Cub lads as well. In their about section, they state that "Cubs Out Loud Blog is intended to be your one stop Bear Shop for Bear news" and they are doing a fine job living up to it.

'Blog, blog, blog it all... blog it if it's big or small... blog at the cineplex... blog while you're having sex'... some lyrics from the Ritcher Scales song Here Come Another Bubble... however it's true, blogs are taking over the internet. Everyone but everyone blogs, even if they try it once and haven't updated their blog in 3 years and tell themselves they 'must' update their blog so they can be the next big site... blogging is everywhere.

You can actually spend your whole entire life either blogging or reading other people's blog trying to keep up with who is fucking who and who is fucking over who... however thank God for the French because there's a great blog called Senior et Gay. You need not know one word of French to enjoy this site. It's just filled with pics of older guys and a lot of them are of the husky Bearish kind. So bloggez bloggez away, my friends, and clickez clickez while checking out tons of pics from that blog site which is almost a year old.

Awhile back I mentioned of a new site called BearCosmos (archived article here). Well since I posted that, things have seem to pick up over at this good looking blog site with guys posting blogs and articles (and I'm even seeing some PlanetBears articles via RSS - very cool). It's still in beta stage from what I understand, but the site is, as they state, "the first Blog Center created for the Bear and Chub community", and it's free. Simply register and then start blogging. There's a lot more you can do as well, such as podcasting, and there's an automatic thumbnail generator, allows mass uploading of files, there's a filebrowser which you can custom describe each file, moblogging, there's a template editor with nested comments, a built-in anti-spam filter. This site can only get better with time.
