Candy Dewalt

Candy Dewalt, also known as Vinci or Trixi (née Candy Lewin; born 1980), is an artist. She and her husband, Ryan Dewalt (Tet), create the Vinci & Arty webcomic. She lives in California, has a bachelor's degree in Social Science, and a postgraduate teaching certification.

Dewalt's cartooning style is inspired in part by animator Chuck Jones. Although her character Vinci, a raccoon with red eyes and raspberry hair, derives his origin from her husband's "Guardians of Gaia" science-fiction universe, the Vinci & Arty continuity is significantly different in theme, tone, and basic assumptions. Dewalt frequently uses her comic, and numerous single-panel portrayals of Vinci, to address real-world social issues and controversies; for instance, the comic Vinci and Arty frequently disagree on how "out" they should be concerning their relationship status and private lives.

Candy is an administrator for the YNA. She and husband Ryan were guests of honor at Morphicon 2006.

Fursona
