His [[fursona]] is a [[kangaroo]], usually depicted the size of a blimp with a red cap and a green t-shirt.

==Artwork==
Oz maintains two online galleries of his [[furry artwork]]; some of his art depicts furs in a comical state of [[inflation]]. There are several other galleries of his art online, though he has abandoned them to focus solely on his [[deviantART]] and [[Fur Affinity]] accounts.

==Costuming==
Oz Kangaroo runs [[Critter Country]], a mascot costuming business, and builds fursuits for furry folks as well as mascot characters for corporate clients. Oz's company is continuing to grow, with ever-larger corporate clients adding Oz-commissioned mascots to their company's image. Within the [[furry fandom|fandom]], Oz has built fursuits for [[Aethas]], [[Ceana]], [[Duncan Roo]], [[Nbowa]], [[Ristin]] and [[Tzup]].

Oz's personal fursuits include '''Clayton''' (a kangaroo), '''Duke''' (a [[German Shepherd]]), '''Kitty''' (a [[tiger]]), as well as a fursuit version of his own character (aptly named '''Oz'''.) He has also produced an inflating/body expanding version of the Oz suit which has been used in skits at furry conventions with humorous results.
Oz also owns many other costumes than the ones listed above, but these appear to be the more active characters.

Both Clayton and Duke were designed and built by [[Brokken T. Wolf]], while Kitty had its origins with [[Wildwolf]]. Oz made his first convention appearance as Duke at [[Furry Weekend Atlanta 2007]] and has used the suit at charity events and promotions ever since.

== Conventions ==
Oz is a regular at [[Further Confusion]] and Furry Weekend Atlanta. Also he was set to be the [[Guest of Honor]] at [[Oklacon]] [[Oklacon 2008|2008]], but later backed out, due to work commitments.

Oz is an organizer and creator of [[Wikipedia:Gold Coast, Queensland|Gold Coast]] convention [[FurDU]].

[[File:Furry Down Under - logo.jpg|right]]
'''FurDU''' (or '''Furry Down Under''') is a furry [[convention]] that is held on the [[Wikipedia:Gold Coast, Queensland|Gold Coast]], in [[Wikipedia:Queensland (Australia)|Queensland]], [[Wikipedia:Australia|Australia]] currently planned to reoccur in April of each year.

Although the [[convention]] was originally intended to be held in [[Wikipedia:Melbourne|Melbourne]], It was later decided, (and in conjunction with the original organizers relocating to [[Wikipedia:Queensland (Australia)|Queensland]]) that hosting FurDU on the [[Wikipedia:Gold Coast, Queensland|Gold Coast]], a major Australian holiday destination, would prove more beneficial and encourage a larger attendance from the community.

Both the [[convention]] registration costs and the choice of venue were planned in an effort to make attending an Australian [[convention]] as affordable as possible. The official website stated that attending FurDU for the three days it runs for should cost under $200 AUD for its attendees including all accommodation costs.<ref>''[http://www.furrydownunder.com/Cost.html Furry Down Under - Cost]'' on the official FurDU Website</ref>
