I really prefer to make positive happy posts, but unavoidably I have to post something more serious. After a lengthy battle with diabetes, two days ago my father passed away. This has been a rough experience for us; he struggled with his health for the long time. Always a fighter my Dad came through several strokes, memory loss, and a minor ( Read more... )

Things have been going particularly good this summer. And really really busy. We've spent the last month working on new suits with an aim for Eurofurence. It's funny...it seems like the more cons that pop up the more pre-con rushes become routine. AC was a really big one, of course. But we just had Eurofurence, and then comes Rainfurest, and ( Read more... )

Today is a good day! As of today we have completed all the projects we were able to schedule for Anthrocon. It's been a long haul. We're looking forward to taking some time to recoup, rest up, and catch up on household chores, and such. We're not taking a vacation yet; we've got more suits coming out in the next couple weeks, but it will be ( Read more... )

Well, we're into the last stretch before Anthrocon. The deep breath before the plunge. Things are still going very good with us, but I will confess we're beginning to really look forward to the end of the pre-AC fursuit building push. At this point we have not had a full day off since April. It will feel very good to be able to take the time ( Read more... )

Occasionally a suit project comes along that goes way beyond the scope of most projects. This suit was one of them. He took twice as long as a regular commission but in the end the effort produced one of the most unusual fursuits I've ever made. Introducing Zàobái (pronounced "Zow - Bye") the Kirin. Commissioned by nevermint As a bit of trivia Zàobái ( Read more... )

For once I get to post about a suit I made for myself! :) This is Inoku the Pandaren warrior:

The week is off to a good start, despite feeling a little sleepy and inarticulate today. We had a very nice balance of work and recreation this weekend. Vancouver continues to be having gorgeous weather so we went for a couple good long walks. The weather is very ironic - the "Winter" Olympics are still going on this week. Right now we have ( Read more... )

It's been a busy week for us. With the Olympics going on, everything is just...more. Something like 1 million visitors in town for the event. This means that Vancouver and the surrounding area has about 1/3 extra people wandering about. It's most noticeable in the downtown core and on all our mass transit, but you can see it even on random side ( Read more... )

Todays post was intended to be posted yesterday, but yesterday became consumed by one of those unique types of distractions that are simply unignorable - we burst a pipe. It's funny how the impact of something like this never occurs to someone until they've gone through it. Plumbing issues have multiple sorts of complications. First, there is ( Read more... )
