Welcome to my corner of the internet!

call me Parade

I'm a Canadian artist specializing in character design and fursuits. 

My artwork focusses on whimsy and the feeling of being transported to another world with fantastical characters. There are also elements of community, camaraderie, and escapism. I take inspiration from the queer community, with how tight-knit and understanding it can be, as well as my 2010's-ish internet roots. I grew up with Warrior Cats and animation memes, so it was only natural for my art to take this path!

When I went to my first furry convention in 2023, walking in the hotel doors made me feel that sense of being teleported to another dimension. I am now very involved in the community, and it provides a lot of inspiration to what I do. The furry fandom is deeply interconnected within itself, and many people feel a sense of belonging they haven't found anywhere else. I bring those elements into my art.



Illustration
My illustration practice consists mostly of digital character art and character design. I graduated with honours, and earned a degree in Visual Communications, with a focus Character Design & Illustration. I also have experience with logos/branding, still life work, figure drawing, and traditional illustration.


Fibre
The most prominent element of my fibre practice is fursuits. I have been specializing in this unique craft for 6 years now, and am always overjoyed at the chance to make peoples characters real for them. I have other fibre experience in plush making, bags, soft sculpture, cosplay pieces, and even doll customizing.
