During my research for my post about the game Sociopolitical Ramifications, I also tried to find information about Eurofurence 2, the furry convention arranged in Sweden in 1996 by the two creators of the game. One thing I found was this old website belonging to a Swedish furry by the name of André Heinonen, who apparently attended the convention, and even drew a number of door signs used during it. Among other things, his site has a number of photos from the convention, specifically of pictures that some of the congoers drew on dusty surfaces in the locale (a school building in the city of Linköping):

I think it’s pretty great that these images, that are otherwise extremely ephemeral because of their medium, have been preserved in this way. And I think they’re a testament to the fact that furries will find ways to express themselves artistically in any medium available to them, be it digital or physical. I also wonder what the cleaning staff thought when they found a literal “dust bunny” in the school after the convention.
