'''Kraden''' (born October 8th, 1986) is a [[furry artist]] who lives in [[Wikipedia:Canberra|Canberra]], ACT, Australia. Starting off his time in the fandom as a low-calibre digital artist, he slowly expanded his skills and social circles. Now as a rather active member of the Australian Furry and Anthropomorphic scene he's rising as a local personality in the community.

== OUTLOOK ==
''When asked about his outlook on the fandom.''

"I used to feel weird about labeling myself as a ''furry'', with the slight social stigmas attached and the difficulty in explaining what it was. Unlike most furs I'm first and foremost an Anthro artist, instead of feeling a lifestyle or desire to personify my fursona.

After a while though I decided to stop mincing thoughts on the topic and just say that yes, I'm a furry. I encourage others to do the same as just accepting that it's something you do makes it much easier and more enjoyable. I'm perfectly capable of laughing at the fandom and myself, honestly, what we do is pretty odd.
But therein lies the absurdity and magic, which is what makes it special"

== PODCAST ==

He describes his [[fursona]] [[species]] as a "WolfCyoteFoxJellybean".
Originally names 'Echo' and drawn as a blue wolf, inspired by the artist Jen Seng aka [http://www.Toonapalooza.net Spunkywulf].

Slowly evolving Kraden\Echo's personality and coloring into a very outgoing, eccentric and unique character. Kraden says that many of Echo's characteristics have leaked into his own personality, so now he doesn't separate his own character form his fursona (as in some earlier art). When asked about this he said

"Initially when I made my first furry character Echo I was planning on a whole bunch more to draw and create dynamics between. It's been over 5 years now and I still haven't gotten around to making the others. Perhaps it's just that the little blue fuzzball too a hold of my brain and won't let go"
