"One of her paintings, Eyes of the Night, was sold for US $10,000 to a local appreciator of furry art at Further Confusion 2004. This is the currently highest selling piece of art within the fandom to date." is so so far from the truth. I don't know WHICH one is the highest priced piece, but I know I can list at least 50 pieces higher priced than this.

For example, any piece from "Dogs Playing Poker" series by C.M Coolidge. Waterloo and A Bold Bluff particularly. Or, plenty of animated art cels from Disney can go above 10,000.

:But were they sold ''within the fandom''? (I would understand this to mean at an event that is specific to furry fandom.) --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 04:15, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

:: "highest selling piece of art within the fandom" ''art'' within the fandom it says, not ''sold'' within the fandom. Perhaps change it to "This is the currently highest selling anthropomorphic piece to sell at an anthro-related convention" or something of the sort? Having it as "sold within the fandom" could still be argued or misunderstood so I think that would work... I know pieces sold for higher, from an anthro-artist, to another anthro-artist (but not a convention) for example, so that could also be considered within the fandom too. --[[User:Avalik|Avalik]] 08:26, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

'''Kevin Wilcomb''', aka '''Mitternacht''' or '''Mitty''', is an [[anthropomorphic]] artist living in Colorado. He graduated with a bachelor of fine arts degree from the Academy of Art college in San Francisco in 2000. Since then he has struggled to find a job in the animation market and a niche in the furry community. Mitty was one of the illustrators for the furry comic ''[[Carpe Diem]]''. He has found a following in the [[macro fur]] community, after being encouraged by close friends (who were in the [[macro fur]] community themselves) to share his art.

Mitty was married to Christy Grandjean, aka [[Goldenwolf]], although they since parted ways 2006. <ref>''[http://ljmitty.livejournal.com/45197.html When It All Goes Wrong]''.

Goldenwolf (artist)

'''Goldenwolf''' ('''Christy Grandjean''') is a [[were]] artist born 1974 March 28 and a top-selling artist at [[furry conventions]].
[[Image:Eyesofthenight.jpg|right|thumb|102px|"Eyes of the Night"]]
Making her first appearance on [[Temple of Luna]] website and progressing to developing icons for [[Wolfhome]] she learned of furdom through several other artists and made a foray into the convention circles.

One of her paintings, ''[http://web.archive.org/web/20041101222805/www.goldenwolfen.com/portfolio/eyesofthenight.htm Eyes of the Night]'', was sold for US $10,000 to a local appreciator of [[furry art]] at [[Further Confusion]] 2004. This is the currently highest selling piece of art within the fandom to date. She lived for a time in the [[House of Were]] with fellow were artist [[Kyoht]] in Kansas and then Utah, before moving to Colorado.

Goldenwolf's art is known for realistic [[werewolves]] and she is very involved in the were community and attends many [[howls]] such as Spirit Howl and Howlapalooza. She was formerly married to [[Mitternacht]] in 2003, both agreeing to split in 2006 due to mutual and friendly differences. Goldenwolf is currently single and living in [[Wikipedia:Boulder, Colorado|Boulder, Colorado]].

== Further Confusion 2008 artshow controversy ==

Goldenwolf sent in her application for [[Further Confusion 2008]]'s [[art show]] too late to get confirmed space, and was put on the waiting list. She did eventually get some panels due to last-minute cancellations.<ref>[http://goldenwolfen.livejournal.com/174393.html Goldenwolf's initial response to the controversy] - {{lj-user|goldenwolfen}} (28 January 2008)</ref>

[[Ch'marr]] told Goldenwolf she was too late in an email which she shared with her friend [[Sandra SanTara]]. Sandra sent an email of complaint to the entire artshow staff (possibly by accident). Both emails were leaked, and subsequently published by [[Squnq]].<ref>[http://squnq.livejournal.com/152468.html Goldenwolf's leaked email about FC08's art show] - {{lj-user|Squnq}} (currently protected)</ref> Sandra's response - particularly her argument that "pro" artists should not be forced out by mere timing, but should have space reserved subject to a jury of artists, like some science-fiction conventions - was received poorly by many furry fans, although some were partially supportive of the idea.

Goldenwolf responded to the public debate with a post supporting Sandra's arguments, and suggesting that the choice was between being "mediocre but fair" or having an "outstanding" art show which would "draw in those who will really spend".<ref>''[http://goldenwolfen.livejournal.com/174393.html No more.]'' - {{lj-user|goldenwolfen}}</ref><ref>[http://squnq.livejournal.com/153264.html Commentary on Goldenwolf's subsequent reaction] - {{lj-user|Squnq}} (29 January 2007)</ref> Meanwhile, Sandra criticized members of the furry fandom who supported the publication of her email, and those who had leaked it in the first place.<ref>''[http://ssantara.livejournal.com/98857.html After reviewing everything.....]'' - {{lj-user|ssantara}} (29 January 2008)</ref>

Either Sandra or Ch'marr subsequently sent [[LiveJournal]] a [[Wikipedia:Digital Millennium Copyright Act|DMCA]] takedown notice, demanding the posts containing the original email and response be removed on the basis of copyright.<ref>[http://squnq.livejournal.com/154056.html Squnq discussing the DMCA takedown notice] - {{lj-user|Squnq}} (3 February 2008)</ref> On 3 February, Squnq indicated that he had filed a counter-claim, but that LiveJournal's policy dictate that his post containing the email remain hidden until the opportunity for a court case expires (14 February).
