Hope everyone had a nice weekend and all that went to Califur had a blast!

Here's my latest work - this video is a celebration of the wonderful "magic" that happens when ordinary people put on animal costumes and bring happiness and joy to others, particularly children. Unlike (most) adults, kids still have the capacity to imagine that the fursuiter is not a hot, sweaty performer baking in a suit - but a cartoon character, or maybe their favorite stuffed animal, come to life.

All the quotes used in this video were obtained directly from the fursuiters themselves from our local group up here in the greater Seattle area.

Also, if you haven't seen them yet - do check out these videos, featuring a compilation of highlights of local fursuiters working the "magic" with kids at various community events last year:

Thanks for watching, enjoy, and hopefully see everyone at AC in a few weeks :D
