As some of you know, I have another website featuring a lot of my ‘crazy’ animal art (http:\/\/www.vasilasart.com<\/a><\/em>).  For example:  Cats dressed up like Han Solo, Pirates, Witches, etc.  A while back, I was thinking about some of the sci-fi conventions I attended several years ago.  Some of the vendors were selling ‘fanzines’.  Collections of short-stories involving characters from their favorite shows.  Well, I got to thinking, and decided I wanted to try to write some short-stories involving some of my artwork characters.  Right now, I have nine ‘Furrzines’ available, and a couple more on the way.  Each Furrzine is approximately 30 pages and contains three stories.  If you are interested, you can contact my email at: darla.vasilas@gmail.com. (Pricing is $10.00 each + shipping.  Payment through PayPal preferred.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
