Zaush the fursona, by Adam Wan

Adam Wan, also known as Zaush (born in 1983), is an artist who lives in California, USA.[1] He was mated and lived with fellow artist Keovi until 2010. Wan is currently in a relationship with Kaylee

Fandom involvement[edit]

Wan is the chief organizer/founder of the furry archive Furplz, which split off from Arcturus's own art archive project, ArtPlz, Wan was Guest of Honour for Megaplex 7 in 2008.

He was part of the Fur Affinity team (since December 2013), working on Project Phoenix.

Art[edit]

A citra

Adam Wan draws fan art, illustrations, and original work mainly based on a manga style. His preferred art media is digital art tools included Photoshop, TVPaint, Artrage, Shake, and the Wacom Cintiq 21UX.

After his breakup with Keovi, he took a short sabbatical from his artistic pursuits until late August 2010.

Animated project[edit]

Wan announced on his Fur Affinity[when?] site that he was working on a yet titled, traditionally-animated full-length film featuring Kineta, his most popular female character.

The film would feature humans as well as anthropomorphic animals and is, in Wan's words:

Something of a sci-fi action drama set in the distant future, in a remote colony in the mountains of Russia

Of the film's content, he says it will contain "action, violence, nudity, and a few sex scenes." He says the film will most likely be distributed through the Internet as its potential MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) rating, NC-17, will be too restrictive to get it shown in theaters since most, if not all, movie theater chains have policies not allowing NC-17 or even unrated movies.[citation needed]

Citras[edit]

Wan is best known for the creation of the fictitious, fox-like species, the citras.

Controversy[edit]

A month after Wan joined the Fur Affinity team, users complained about FA's decision to accept his help (which had been building up slowly since December 2013),[citation needed] reached a boiling point.

The fan based and non-furs' backlash was based on allegations of Wan's sexual misconduct and bullying,[citation needed] and even outright rape[citation needed] of women within the furry fandom. These allegations had been brought up for years,[citation needed] (intensifying after Wab's FA involvement), which he denies.[2]

May 2023 FA ban[edit]

Wan was banned from Fur Affinity on May 2023 for unknown reasons.[3] Several other artists were also banned during that period, such as Sangie Nativus‎ and Kabier.

Trivia[edit]

Adam Wan interests include drawing, anthropomorphics, animation, comics, web design, and programming. His favorite animated movie is Disney's The Lion King.
