Why FauxBear?

My ex-boyfriend called me a FauxBear because I was different than the type of gay guy he was expecting. He thought I was a bear, and it turned out I wasn't. Well, technically I am, I suppose, but not they way he expected! In addition, I have more important things to worry about than what animal I most resemble (a graceful gazelle? Nah!) and unlike him and many of my peers, I don't have an identity based on my sexuality. Sex is a small part of my makeup, which is not to say that I have small parts or wear makeup. I, as it is said, am just a guy.

...and explain the pterodactyls, mister!

A long time ago, as I was assembling my first ever business card, I accidentally stumbled upon the pterodactyl as a signature image. Don't know why. Just looked neat-o. I've used it ever since and I've only ever drawn it perfectly once, and that was the first time. The original has vanished into the Abyss, but I had one or two of that first edition card around. I preserved it in the computer, redrew it in Adobe Illustrator® and the rest is history...
