Lapres

13 July 2025

When its hot I'd rather sit in a plant, pretend I'm a banana and watch the world go by. 🎨by me of Lapres, my very long noodle. Two colours in this one only - hot pink and electric blue - overlayed with different opacities to make the different values of purple.

I don't often take photos anymore but we had to here. I still couldn't get over the scenery we had access to. It felt surreal staying at a barn with bats, sheep, and an incredible view. @claytoncaribou.bsky.social @booshieboo.bsky.social and @bristol.bsky.social Location: Author's Stone

Happy Birthday to my little hero. It's been a crazy adventure that we're on but I'm so happy that I have you to experience life with me. You picked me and have followed me ever since - I'm proud of you and the personality you have, even if you pee in the sea. Every. Time. Happy third birthday. xx

Happy Anniversary to my hoss. Thank you for standing up for me, and standing by me through everything. xoxoxo @ellis171.bsky.social

I've slowly been working on reference sheets again. Yesterday my Neuro appointment has explained a lot about why I struggle to illustrate. Still, every time I finish something, I feel like Ive hit a milestone. This was 2023, but still very proud of this one though it took ages @ellis171.bsky.social

Another one by @lapres.bsky.social! This is Evan Swifttide, kitsune, Warlock & Smuggler! Probably the most morally dubious character I've ever played. Favourite fact: Got a Charisma based sail skill check by responding "I don't know, sail casual" when asked how to sneak past an enemy fleet. 😂

No matter what happens, or where we are, @booshieboo.bsky.social is always someone I can lean my head against. Thank you for being my fuddly duddly and putting up with my shenanigans. <3 Somewhere between stained glass and marker. Experimental but digging it.

Harvest and Frost - Autumn and Winter (2/4) I've set myself a mini project of taking my marker type drawings and going full on into stained glass styled #mtg cards. Hopefully the vampiric forms of Lap and @heartlilly.bsky.social work well as cards. Enjoying this style and finding it comfortable.

Still learning what I can do with the brushes I made. One of the fun comments was my art style was looking sort of like a tapestry, or stained glass... so... Fizz made me a deck, so fitting the theme with seasonal vampires. Autumn first. I always dreamed of making a card. #magicthegathering #mtg

You can see I had zero direction with where this was going. #mtg #tokenart Still, going back to my #orzhov roots.

I thought it might be fun to show where my skills went. We make non-verbal advocacy gear as well as working teams. We also provide gear for Nervous/Reactive dogs, to give voices to those who can't speak for themselves. My work fam has been supportive of my furry art and cheer me on with drawing.

While I used to do printing for myself, I now have access to industrial size machines and we've toyed with the idea of making fur and pride gear. They are supportive of my health and I work as often as I can. Blessed to have the team that I do now as we all bring our own strengths to the company.

Sterling makes fantastic avatars for VRchat and has been a friend since I first stepped foot in the Train Station attending my first Leeds meet back in 2013. I looked like a lost sheep trying to find faces I didn't know, but Sterling was there with a smile. <3 @sterlinggryph.bsky.social

Derpy is cool and all, but for me - its all about Sussie. Ellis fell in love with Sus, as did I. Every time it'd emote I'd utter "mood." It's been lovely learning more about the folklore behind the movie. #kpopdemonhunters #sussie #derpy #derpyandsus

I keep being told these illustrations are "deilicate". Now I up it to delicate beefcake. For el Husbando #2 @bristol.bsky.social 🎨Another Blue and Pink only overlay to obtain purples and the different values of blue and grey.

13 July 2025

That feeling when you tell someone you have an AD and work for a company that makes "AD Gear." ...Completely forgetting it means something completely different to furries.

I get to participate in a fursuit friday thanks to @snowgryphonsuits.bsky.social <3 <3 <3 Thank you Kerry (and Callie!) for making today a special day. Pup is always happy when a suit comes out, more so when you pop back out of the suit, as if by magic. #fursuitfriday

The first two i did, I was able to make my own brush set to get a marker sort of effect but stability for inking. Pink and blue only used in these, overlaid over and over again to get different values of purple. Boba and Lapres are mine x

25 June 2025

I honestly thought i wouldn't be able to suit again, but seeing Kerry at CFz made me realise they had never seen Boba in person, so we drove home to got her. At the con we talked about my restrictions and this was a fantastic idea, I can have my wings again without overheating. ♥️ Love you Kerry!

Snow Gryphon Suits@snowgryphonsuits.bsky.social

These wings are done with the same shapes and general build as my pair, but with more movement, as well as actually being able to be folded for travel if needed! They're more upright too, to give a different personality :) Wings belong to @lapres.bsky.social #furry #fursuit #fursuitwings

Found an artist style that is super chill to do. Still practicing but this is only one shade of yellow and one shade of purple with different levels of opacity and layering. For my favourite jackal, @mamajaql.bsky.social

♥️ While I should have posted right after CFz, I wanted to say thank you for making it a lovely experience. I've finally have my answers, know why my body broke in the ways I did and am finally seeing the right professionals. Better late than never I suppose.

I'm thankful you're all still here. I'll get back to posting random art now and again. The splints helped a ton and I have 2 occupational therapists helping me find new ways to get there. For now, have these two. X Thanks for reading, this has been my TED talk.

If i suddenly dissappear at meets, in vr, or conventions, then I've had a turn and need to lay flat. The best way to describe what happens, I'm allergic to gravity. Laying flat subsides my heart symptoms and I get my sense back. My body tingles like it's asleep, and my joints sublux.

Now the hard part. If you happen to be unwell, even a minor cold, please don't get too close to me. Any illness can set me back and a chance that i won't get back to this new base line. I miss having fun, drawing all day, and miss my friends. I'm sorry I'm not as fun anymore, but

Heat i can deal with via aids, and activity i can try to manage... but emotions are difficult. Talking to friends, laughing too much, feeling down - they can all trigger PEM and give me days that my heart can't keep up. Ellis had to lift me yesterday as I went deaf and couldn't move, it was

Embarrassing but I don't know what is do without him. While at cfz you got to see normal lap again, plus a dog and walking aids, this is my new reality. I'm okay with it, I made dumb choices without knowing what condition I already had. So, all because I wanted to go back on that Monday in 2022.

In short, i had underlying genetic conditions that went into overdrive after cfz 2022, that bad covid year. I had, as an infant, an illness that went dormant and turned on after covid. That coupled with genetics, I have a broken nervous system resulting in long covid. A good day and bad day.

Each day is different for me, I'm more symptomatic one day to the next, but knowing why helps. I'm still me on the outside but on the inside its constant pain. If I didn't get hurt when I did, this probably wouldn't have gotten as bad as fast, my biggest triggers are heat, activity and emotions.

To the group of furs who use chairs or other aids, specifically struggling with the transition. Hello! I'm Lap, an artist! You're not alone and the transition (if you're like me) can be really difficult. The embarrassment around family and friends, grilling yourself of what you "should" be...

It might take a while to find acceptance with it, or what might work for you, but just know that you're not alone on this struggle bus, and they're is a community in here somewhere of us. If an aid makes things easier, hell yeah, use that MF. I should make me bits for furs so we can have fun. ♥️

24 Dec 2024

I want you to feel seen, and not because of your aid. You're not alone. Xxx To everyone else, hello, disregard. Actually: you can help - don't touch or grab a chair, ask if your can help. Just be normal. Don't ask intrusive questions. Assistance dogs, don't disturb. Be you, just be mindful!

I have chronic conditions and my hips subluxate. By using mine I know I'll be able to function the day after without needing to sleep for a day or two after a long day out and won't topple over if my vision and balance goes. All aids are valid. All reasons for needing an aid are valid.

24 Dec 2024

While i love furry art and missed illustrating, my heart has been in the disability community for the last year learning as much as I can, and still learning. I only like using my aids when they feel like "me" - it's an extension of my personality, so I designed my own bits.

Capable of, or the frustration that comes. It's normal to feel emotional. I grieved the "loss of me". Who you are isn't defined by a mobility aid, you can define it/them and make it you. I'm "ambulatory" - i have use of my legs, a lot of chair users don't just use them due to paralysis.

Literally clarity. I've started my colorimetry test and am testing blue filters this week! We've confirmed that I have Visual Stress/Irlens Syndrome (not a disease) and some of you may not know you have it. I'm testing blue this week, but I'm between teal and purple. This might affect my...

Illustrations as I don't know how long it will take to get used to the colour change, if I start to ignore the tint on my glasses or not. My glasses are going to look insane, but they're not sun glasses. They'll help protect my brain from overstimulation. 👀 .. and are going to be thicc. Arch.

// A Wild Scan Badge appears: When you introduce your boss to the fandom, and she loves the creativity, then let's you do whatever you want? Meet the weird little (big?) brother to my badges. Originally i designed bags for wheelchairs at work but as furries ruin everything, it had to be done. 🤌

15 Dec 2024

I know it's been a while, but a big thank you to @tommah.bsky.social for being the sweetest and most patient person in the world. I'm going to give badges another go, and add in a bag option. There is so much I've missed, Ive got a lot to learn again. Hubs bou too@claytoncaribou.bsky.social -Lap
