Justin Swatsworth, who goes by the artist name Dolphyn, is an artist, writer, fursuit builder and fursuiter who lives in the United States.[1]

Dolphyn's fursona is Mineau, a navy blue and grey dolphin. Mineau exists in fursuit form, which Dolphyn constructed himself.[2]

Though Dolphyn primarily creates cetacean artwork, he also creates anthropomorphic artwork and characters for the fandom. He has contributed art to the conbooks of several conventions, including Anthrocon, Fur the 'More, and Mephit Furmeet.

"Street Rave", one of Dolphyn's works, was published in the Anthrocon 2013 convention book and was also nominated for Best Anthropomorphic Published Illustration in the 2013 Ursa Major Awards.[3]
