Sketchkat

Sketchkat (Kate Jeal, born December 24, 1988) is an anthro artist and fursuiter who is based in Bristol, England. She uses the last name of Blackflag when referring to her avatar on Second Life.

Fursona
Sketchkat's fursona is a female, medium-build, anthro Eurasian/Siberian Lynx, with tan/gold pelt and black stripes as well as spots. As in real life, she has piercings and glasses.

Sketchkat can also be portrayed as a feral (or non-morphic) Lynx.

History
Sketchkat has been a fur since at least 2003, and is a regular in the SouthFurs community.

Her first furmeet was in April, 2006, at Bristol, with the company of TMFox. There she met Tiggie, and partnered with him by the next meet (however, this relationship ended mutually in December, 2014). In May, 2015, she had partnered with Vatra/Shadowulf for a relatively brief period of 1 year. As of December 2016, she has partnered with Munchy, a long-time friend, and still strong. Nowadays she is more selective of the appearances she makes at meets and conventions.

Conventions she attends include ConFuzzled, and Eurofurence. She was a guest of honour at RBW 2010.

Fursuits
Sketchkat has four fursuits:
 * Sketchkat, the fursuit that depicts her fursona. This suit was originally built by Beetlecat and Realms of Enchantment, and first appeared at a Bristol Furmeet.
 * An updated version of 'Sketchkat' was built by Don't Hug Cacti as a fullsuit in May, 2011. She has archived the previous suit.
 * Sunny, a yellow vixen who was constructed by Don't Hug Cacti, and who also debuted at a Bristol Furmeet.
 * Onyx, a black panther-lynx hybrid who was built by Darkstone Realms.

Sketchkat uses her fursuits mostly for her own pleasure, but also for public performance when she takes them to furmeets and conventions.

Outside the fandom
As of May, 2012, Sketchkat works as a bartender alongside her dad and mother-in-law.

Her hobbies include drawing, gaming, kayaking, scuba diving, and dancing.
