AnthroCon is a furry convention, one of the largest, and I have gone every year since… oh boy… since 2009. I’ve grown up with the convention, and am now on staff by dint of the volunteer work I do for the convention’s security team, organized by the Dorsai Irregulars. Add to that the load of …
This summer has been highlighted by two big conventions I attended, and the book I published in between.

I am going to AnthroCon next month, and in order to fill up my panels in the art show I decided it would be fun to paint a bunch of cats. Me being me, of course, they had to be quirky, fantastical cats, and thus my Cats of the Week series was born! Each cat …
