Whether
inspired by their visits to the Funhouse, their own imaginations or some combination
thereof, there are plenty of folks out there who enjoy Circe's predilection
for sensual, surreal and sneaky transformations enough to imagine others'
encounters with the Enchantress and her theme park. Like myself, they've attempted
to capture their fancies in word and/or image, and were kind enough to share
them with me.
Now, with their permission, the Funhouse's newest pavilion is dedicated to
their creations:
GrandStorm
Here's
a first: a Funhouse fan artist inspired by a Funhouse fan writer to provide
an illustration for the latter's story - namely Saurina’s
Close-Up,or How I Learned to Love the Bog; enjoy! (& for more of GrandStorm's
grand art, visit his Deviant Art page via the above link.)
Drake
Duck
Drake's
a long time TF pal whose skunk TF story can be found below.
Here's a few pics he's sent me as of late:
Claws
a'Poppin'
I
love those sproingin' toenails!; in fact, this pic actually planted
the germ of an idea for a new bear TF sequence in my head...
(Beer?
Hashish? What other intoxicants are left? Let's see if I ever get around to
making this idea a reality...)
Lucky
Feet
Quacking Up
(What do you expect from a guy named 'Drake Duck'?)
"Beast-Boy"
A
pair of pix from a new Funhouse
contributor
(no relation to the Teen Titans hero, I assume...); go
ahead and E-mail him!
Strongman
Badgered
Jesse
Guiher
Meet
a red-blooded, meat-eating visitor to the Funhouse who notices a steak (and
bath) house that's just too tempting to pass by...
I
am feeling a bit hungry
You're
going to have to pay
for that tablecloth
Jesse's promised there's more to come; let's keep our fingers (or paws, hooves, feathers or whatever) crossed...
Foxx
Over
the last year or two Foxx's artwork has gone through an amazing transformation.
When I visited his website earlier this year I was floored by the growth in
his talent - I literally didn't recognize it as coming from the same artist
whose work I'd seen a few years earlier. My E-mails of admiration led to our
picture exchange, his half of which is below (mine can be found here.)
If you want to see more of Foxx's work visit his
website. (WARNING:
contains mature content; visit at your own risk - and
underage STAY AWAY!)
Street
Fighter
This
aspiring martial artist fell under the spell of a mysterious, beautiful trainer
who assured him that the bandages she was every-so-carefully wrapping around
his wrists and ankles would imbue him with the power of the 'Mighty Stallion
Kick' ... but where did that bandage around his backside come from? And what's
growing out of it?
Eala
Dubh
Eala
(one of the masters of transformation art) and I set out to do a TF sequence
trade a whlie back. Of course, Eala finished his in record time while my
sequence seemed to take forever to complete...
(And don't forget to read
Bob Stein's superstory
based on Eala's pix !)
Bull
TF Sequence
Dopey
Donkey
Piggy
Pig
Elwood
Late
in 1999, I started corresponding with Elwood after visiting his amazing Raccoon
Page. (If anything, it's grown even more amazing in the years since. It
turned out our TF interests were amazingly similar; we really hit it off and
started exchanging art between us. (You can see the pix I did for him -- Two
Friends - Whose Behind - and Caught
-- in the Funhouse's Miscellania section.)
"As Seen By Others" premiered with his pictures, including
one that - two years since I first received it - I still think is the single
best TF picture I have ever seen.
Oh
boy...
"Don't Call Her
'Babe'"
Pigged Out
A Dance With Saurina
Big Pig (The Best TF Picture Ever?)
Mr.
100,000
"Mr.F"
One of the
Funhouse's very, very first fans, "Mr. F" was kind enough
to send me a few samples of his most impressive TF art along with permission
to share it with you. You probably haven't seen his stuff before, so get ready
- this guy is really good! He'd like to hear from you too, so just
drop him an E-mail by clicking
here.

"Bear"
The Funhouse
is honored to present its very first animated
transformation, courtesy of the above mentioned ursine.
Drop him a note, too - if he's not hibernating, I'm sure he'd love to
hear from you.
From Here to Halfway There
And
here's some non-animated TF photo art from Mr. Bear:
He
can't stop drinking that Bear Beer...
Stuck Snout
"Oink!
What's happening to my hand?"
Starting to feel like a jackass
"Harethe"
A fan of the new "Szechuan Fire" Restaurant
pavilion, 'Harethe' sent in this wonderful sketch
of the effect the restaurant has on one town it opens in. 'Harethe' prefers
not to have his Email address published, but if you'd like to contact him,
send me a message & I'll be glad to forward it onto him...
"The
Szechuan Fire Comes to Cultus Creek
Mr. Appaloosius first graced us with his dramaturgical effort Centaur Stage. Now he's returned with a jaw-dropping display of artwork to expand upon his previous effort. Are you ready for a nifty multi-panel story? Are you ready for color art? Are you ready for wacky TF humor? Are you ready for celebrity transformations?! You're not? Well too bad, because here they come anyway... (Don't miss his nifty writing efforts below, either!)
| Okay,
so it's not really a transformation picture, but since Lucius and I
share an appreciation for Winsor McCay's Rarebit Fiend (see
my version here), how could I resist? |
|
In
early July 2004 a historic meeting between Lucius and
Comus took place in an undisclosed location in the great state of Connecticut;
here's a pair of art jams that resulted from that rendevous: Water Jam Down Under Jam |
Provolvere
Here's a pair of equine efforts from Provolvere,
a great guy and a serious TF enthusiast. You can see lots more of his stuff
at his website, or you can E-mail
a note; tell him I said hi!
Horse
Pills
Whinny!
(Provo coloring job makes a 3rd-rate Comus drawing
look good!)
Kintaro
Four
guys + 2 reptiles + 1 enchantress = TF's galore...
Get ready for a great guest story from a new Funhouse contributor:
Saurina’s
Close-Up, Or How I Learned to Love the Bog
Drake
Duck
A
story from an old TF friend...
"The
Skunk Transformation"
Oliver
A
first but fantastic prose effort from one of the Funhouse's biggest fans -
in enthusiasm, not size, that is. In fact, Oliver's discarded his earlier
desire to be turned into a pig and replaced it with a leonine dream...
"King
For More Than A Day"
(now
graced by a brand new Comus illustration!)
'Arcticwlf'
Just
in time for the holidays: Watch out for jolly fat guys in red suits bearing
enchanted harnessess...
"A Christmas TF Story"
Roy
LeBay
Something
about the Funhouse seems to inspire grade A+ fan stories. Here in its entirety
is his delightfully written novel- (or at least novella-) length
Funhouse story. Yes, it's (more than) a bit longer than your typical Funhouse
story, but trust me -- it's worth reading every word. (And if you'd like to
write him and let him know what
you think of his work, I'm sure he wouldn't mind that either...)
"The
Pooka Problem"
| Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 |
| Part 6 | Part 7 | Part 8 | Part 9 |
Lucius Appaloosius
Now
it's time for something a trifle more elevated as the Funhouse enters the
world of the lee-gitimate thee-ay-teer! Yes, it's the Funhouse's very first
stageplay, in actual stageplay script format, courtesy of another new Funhouse
author, the classically minded Mr. Appaloosius.
"Centaur
Stage "
(And if you missed it,
head back up on this page into the "Art" section for an assortment
of Mr. Appaloosius's awe-inspiring artwork...)

Socks
the Catt
Get
ready to enjoy one of the best Funhouse fan stories - ever! Justin has travelled
the world in hopes of finding the Funhouse, in order to fufill his feline
dream. But now that he's there, will his only reward be a door slamming in
his face?

thing in the world -- if you don't give it a second thought...
"Rocky

Circe is always on the
lookout for new talent to join the Funhouse -- and Patches is only too glad
to help! (Introducing a new Funhouse attraction -- The Big Cat Pavilion,

Pal"
Who's that sleeping in
my bed? Patches helps an unexpected (for both of them) arrival acclimate himself
to the Funhouse; could this be the beginning of a beautiful friendship?
Odis
Holcomb
Welcome
a new Funhouse fan to this particular page! Odis contacted me recently
to say hello and to let me know about a couple of Circe-centered stories he
wrote - one after discovering the Funhouse, and a second written beforehand
-- yet still perfectly in tune with the spirit of the place! Enjoy both, and/or
visit his site by clicking here.
Thanks Odis!
"The
Water Park"
"Silver Creek"
(The
above story and site links will take you outside the Funhouse, and will open
in a new window atop this one...)
"Mr.F"
In addition to his superb
art, "Mr. F" has also graced the Funhouse with a story about your
typical fat 'n fatuous fanboy who's foolish enough to turn down Circe's offer
of a lifetime...
"The
Packrat "
Bob Stein
Bob
- one of the Funhouse's first fans - was so inspired by Eala
Dubh's transformation sequence
that he sat down and wrote a crackerjack story based on (and illustrated
by) them; take a read....
"Summer
Bovinox "
And
here's a couples of things Bob did a long, long time ago for the
Funhouse:
Pleasure

Many
moons ago The New York Times Sunday Magazine ran an article about a
writer who underwent sex change (these days referred to as 'gender reassignment')
surgery. An apparently incredulous reader was moved to respond in a manner
that made it impossible for the Times not to run his/her letter, or
for me to deny it inclusion within the Funhouse.
Pavilions
Lots of ideas for new Funhouse pavilions -- and I'll
be adding a whole mess of them to this site - one of these days...
