Is there anything in all of psychology that would explain why a man who is clearly so talented at 2 dimentional character deisign would use his tallents to produce this kind of work:

It has me baffled, confused, and. . . strangely aroused.

Heh, Doug Winger. I saw his stuff a long time ago, linked from Portal of Evil. It is disturbed on so many different levels.
I mean think about it. Most of his art is hermaphroditic anthropomorphized animals, with genitals so large as to render them immobile!

That is one of the things I have to thank the internet for. Making me aware of furries.

A few of his drawings look like cute girls without the "something extra" that he hangs on most of them. Those must be the ones he draws to pay the bills.

I would be curious to know the opinion of a Psychiatrist of this body of work.

It isn't as sick as the gruesome dismemberment you see on rotten.com and such.

Hmm, portal of evil and somethingawful.net sure are authoritative and knowledgeable sources. . . what has Fox News got to say about this, I wonder.
