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

Fandom involvement
Wan is the chief organizer/founder of the furry archive Furplz, which split off from Arcturus's own art archive project, ArtPlz, and was Guest of Honour for Megaplex 7 in 2008. He is part of the Fur affinity team (since December 2013), working on Project Phoenix.

Art
Adam Wan preferred media is fan art, illustrations, and original work mainly based on a manga style. He is best known for the creation of the fictitious, fox-like species, the citras. His preferred digital art tools included Photoshop, TVPaint, Artrage, Shake, and the Wacom Cintiq 21UX.

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

Animated project
Wan announced on his Fur Affinity site that he is working on a yet titled, traditionally-animated full-length film featuring Kineta, his most popular female character.

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

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.

Controversy
A month after Zaush joined the Fur Affinity team, users complaints about FA's decision to accept his help (which had been building up slowly since December 2013), reached a boiling point.

The fan based and non-furs' backlash was based on allegations of Zaush's sexual misconduct and bullying, and even outright rape of women within the furry fandom. These allegations had been brought up for years, intensifying after Zaush's FA involvement.

Zaush has denied such allegations.
