After visiting Prague for the first time I became a little obsessed with these "tea rooms" that serve up hot drinks, appetizers, and hookah pipes. I'm as big a tea enjoyer as anyone, but I remember being pretty hesitant on the tobacco front. Well, I got over that and enjoyed the experience to the fullest. If you ever find yourself in Asheville, NC it's actually home to a Dobra Tea, and while it's absolutely worth a visit they have to forego the smoking stuff for legal reasons. You know how it goes.

I've never tried to faithfully recreate these places in artwork, but there's a cozy factor that I'm hoping to capture in my own way. And so it is with this piece. It started as sketch for a very self-indulgent pawjob scene and the tea room offered as languid and luxuriant a setting as I could ask for.

I'll be at Furry Weekend Atlanta this weekend, so shoutout if you'll be there too!

I wonder if anything else is planned with her other than a pawjob.....

Asheville mentioned 👀

Wait no way, I studied in Prague in university! Did you ever make it to the Malý Buddha tea room near the castle? I loved that place so deeply. And honestly, a few years back when you did that art of Juno's date in a naturist tea room, my mind went right back to that little place in Prague.

The atmosphere sure looks relaxing, specific massaging aside ;)

Love Dobra! Was the first customer from their Burlington, VT site to visit their Asheville, NC just after it just opened. (I think theres a third in Springfield, MA. Not sure.) Just wish they were more “open” like this one! BTW: nice slit on her!

Hmm, I've got a couple ideas in my head...

I really wanna make it back there >.< Last time I went was pre-hurricane

What? That's awesome o.o I feel sometimes like I throw these references around not expecting anything to land, but I'm thrilled when they do. There were a couple of trips I took to Prague at very pivotal points in my life, and it was such a cool city to explore. With apparently quire a vibrant furry scene. (and a pint of beer for 1 euro...) And yes! Malý Buddha is one of the places that lived in my mind as a tea room I really wanted to capture in art, even if it was mostly the memory of the place. I'm reminded sometimes what a small world it is ^^

That's the one :) I'm really surprised the real life inspiration (at least one of them) came up all this time later

Kalahari

Specific massaging INCLUDED even :)

I didn't even know there were more stateside locations o.o I have some things to add to my vacation list. Funny enough, I visited Burlington for grad school interviews in the middle of winter. We got to do a little snowshoeing thanks to the weather at least haha. Really cool town!

Kalahari

Just seeing this now, sorry >.< Hope you enjoyed the con! I got spread a little thin to say the least, but still a good time.

The area's actually recovered pretty well, especially downtown. Definitely worth revisiting now.

Yes, we did have an agreeable winter as far as the outdoors were concerned. Glad you got up. Before Covid, Dobra was open until 11pm! It was great listening to all the college kids inside the tearoom. They close at seven now, but I should get back in there.
