&lt;div&gt;'''Ursula Vernon''' (born 1978) is a professional artist who lives in [[Wikipedia:North Carolina|North Carolina]]. She uses both traditional and digital media, with most of her art going through several stages of planning both on paper and computer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She produced an online comic ''[[Digger]]'', which features a wombat, dead gods, white peacocks, and other misfits and ne'er-do-wells. The comic, which ended in 2011, is available in its entirety online at http://www.diggercomic.com/ and compiled print versions are available from [[Sofawolf Press]].  Her first children's book, ''Nurk, the strange surprising adventures of a (somewhat) brave shrew'' was published in May 2008.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''Dragonbreath'', the first book in her new series for young readers, was released in June 2009. ''Dragonbreath'' mixes comics and traditional writing. The ''Dragonbreath'' series consists of seven books as of February 2012: ''Dragonbreath'', ''Dragonbreath: Attack of the Ninja Frogs'', ''Dragonbreath: Curse of the Were-wiener'', ''Dragonbreath: Lair of the Bat Monster'', ''Dragonbreath : No Such Thing as Ghosts'', and ''Dragonbreath : Revenge of the Horned Bunnies'', with Ursula under contract for a total of ten ''Dragonbreath'' books. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ursula's work uses a range of styles, sometimes realistic, sometimes humorous and cute. One of her recurring themes is [[Gearworld]], a world that juxtaposes the organic and the inorganic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ursula's cover for ''[[Best in Show]]'' won the [[Ursa Major Award]] for ''Best Anthropomorphic Published Illustration'' in 2003, and she was nominated for the 2006 [[Wikipedia:Eisner Award|Eisner Awards]] in the category ''Talent Deserving of Wider Recognition'' for her work on ''Digger''.  &amp;quot;Digger&amp;quot; has been nominated for the 2012 Best Graphic Story Hugo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She has been a [[guest of honor]] at [[Midwest FurFest]] twice (2004 and 2009), and [[Further Confusion 2010]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ursula is a regular vendor and attendee at [[Anthrocon]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Podcasting ==&lt;br /&gt;
In 2011, Ursula and her partner Kevin began hosting the podcast ''Kevin and Ursula Eat Cheap.'' Each week they review a range of pre-packaged foods and then rate them. Archives and updates to the show are available at http://kuec.libsyn.com or through iTunes and Miro. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[[Image:Mu_Press.png|right|MU Press]]&lt;br /&gt;
'''MU Press''' ('''Miscellanea Unlimited Press''', their most popular standalone [[Wikipedia:Imprint|imprint]] being '''AEON''') was one of the most prolific publishers of [[:Category:Comics|furry comics]], as well as several other non-furry comics. It was formed by [[Edd Vick]] in 1991, later joined by [[Chuck Melville]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MU Press has published long-running [[:Category:Anthologies|anthologies]] such as ''[[Zu]]'' (19 issues), an all-genre anthology, and ''[[Wild Kingdom]]'' (16 issues), an adults-only anthology, which later changed names to become just ''[[WILD!]]'' (15 issues). Other comics published by MU Press include [[Dwight Decker]] and [[Teri Sue Wood|Teri S. Wood]]'s sci-fi fantasy ''[[Rhudiprrt, Prince of Fur]]'', [[Paul Kidd]]'s ''[[Fangs of K'aath]]'', Chuck Melville's ''[[Champion of Katara]]'', the first issue of ''[[Tales of Beatrix Farmer]]'' created jointly by [[Steve Gallacci]] and [[Taral Wayne]], and [[Vicky Wyman]]'s ''[[Xanadu]]''. It was also the somewhat-infamous publisher of [[Skunk (comic)|Skunk]], way back in 1993.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In September 2005, MUPress announced on alt.fan.furry that they were ceasing the publication of their adult anthology WILD! due to low sales.  Sporadic publishing of graphic novels will continue, and the AEON imprint will continue to publish work by Matt Howarth.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[[Image:Worldtreecover.jpg|right|thumb|250px|World Tree primes; top to bottom, left to right: Zi Ri, Khtsoyis, Gormoror, Herethroy, Orren, Cani, Sleeth and Rassimel]]&lt;br /&gt;
'''World Tree''' is a [[role-playing]] game set in a world where several [[:Category:Species|species]] of mostly-[[anthropomorphic]] beings (the ''primes'') are the norm. It was created by [[Bard Bloom]] and [[Victoria Borah Bloom]] and released in 2001. It was nominated for ''Best Anthropomorphic Game'' and ''Best Anthropomorphic Published Illustration'' in the 2001 [[Ursa Major Awards]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
World Tree's focus is ''species and civilization''. It is not by design a &amp;quot;hack'n'slash&amp;quot; RPG; although combat plays a part, intelligent role-playing is likely to get you just as far (or further) in most campaigns. Similarly, the creative use of spontaneous magic - available to virtually everyone, including all eight prime species - can be a deciding factor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
World Tree civilization is not unlike human civilization - there are cities, guilds, merchants, schools, and even prostitution (with a twist). However, the pervasive nature of magic, the lack of abundant metals and the diversity of species on the World Tree necessarily dictate a few changes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== The world ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
World Tree is set (naturally) on a gigantic tree, with branches tens of thousands of miles long and hundreds of miles wide. The main trunk itself is two hundred miles in diameter - the area of the topmost nine branches is called Ketheria, and is the home to prime civilization. Lower branches become progressively colder, bleaker, and more monster-ridden (for increasingly terrestrial definitions of &amp;quot;monster&amp;quot; - the prime definition is &amp;quot;not a prime&amp;quot;). It is not known if there is a root to the World Tree, but if so, it is likely to be hundreds or thousands of branches down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== The gods ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The World Tree (along with all its inhabitants) was created by seven gods (the ''Verb'' gods), who are assisted in running it by twelve other gods (the ''Noun'' gods). They are the source of magic in the world - the appropriate verb gods are invoked for the action to be performed by the magic, and the noun gods for the things it is to operate on. For example, a ''Creoc Pyrador'' spell to create heat or flame would involve Virid and Flokin respectively.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is an accepted fact that the gods exist. They are mostly seen only through their magic; some occasionally take a more active role in the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Prime species ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most inhabitants of the upper branches of the World Tree are members of one of eight ''prime species'':&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''Cani''''' are [[canines|doglike]]; fiercely loyal, with a love for hierarchy&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''Herethroy''''' are cricketlike, with hard shells and usually placid natures&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''Orren''''' are otterlike; water-loving, carefree, and prone to wild rushes of activity&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''Rassimel''''' are raccoonfolk; obsessive, yet social (with those who share their obsessions)&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''Khtsoyis''''' are crude, levitating cephalopods, with a penchant for violence and petty crime&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''Gormoror''''' are bearlike; rough and honourable to a fault - think [[:Wikipedia:Klingon|Klingons]], but furry&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''Sleeth''''' are non-anthropomorphic [[felines]], about the size and temperament of panthers&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''Zi Ri''''' are rare, elegant, oft-feathered, immortal, [[dragon]]like [[hermaphrodite]]s&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Herethroy, Cani, Orren and Rassimel are the most numerous species, with Khtsoyis, Gormoror, Sleeth and especially Zi-Ri being rarer. Cani, Rassimel, Khtsoyis, and some Orren prefer the cities, while Herethroy, Gormoror, Sleeth and the lazier Orren tend to stay outside.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Since Balticon started in 1966, I'm assuming that Balticon 23 was in 1989. Feel free to change it if needed. Giving the year helps put this in chronological order... --[[User:Lirleni|Lirleni]] 02:17, 4 February 2008 (UTC)&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;[[Image:ChrisSutor.jpg|right|Furry Artist Chris Sutor]]&lt;br /&gt;
'''Chris Sutor''' is a [[furry artist]] from the [[Wikipedia:East Coast of the United States|East Coast of the United States]], who has been in the [[fandom]] since 1989. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chris had always wanted to grow up to be a cartoonist. Having watched funny animals on TV every day, it was only natural that when he finally started drawing, he would try to create the sorts of characters that he himself had enjoyed. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His two earliest furry characters were Alpha and Centauri, a pair of spacegoing pandas which he created sometime between 1979 and 1982. From there, he would go on to fill multiple binders with original furry artwork.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chris' first brush with furry fandom was at [[Wikipedia:Balticon|Balticon]] 23 in 1989, thanks to a [[Furry party]] poster hung inside an elevator. He had gone to help set up computers in the convention's [[computer room]], and spied the poster while lugging equipment. At the party he purchased a large collection of [[:Category:comics|comics]] and furry art magazines, and became instantly addicted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the 1990's, he contributed artwork to a number of small press [[zines]], including ''[[FurVersion]]'', and ''[[The Bestiary (fanzine)|Bestiary]]'', and regularly attended furry parties held during [[Wikipedia:Philcon|Philcon]] at the now-demolished [[Adam's Mark Hotel]] in Philadelphia. During this era, he also created and started playing his alter-ego, [[Cobalt (Delos)|Cobalt]], on the Internet chat/game [[FurryMUCK]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chris attended the [[Wikipedia:Joe Kubert School of Cartooning and Graphic Arts|Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art]], in Dover, New Jersey, as he was interested in learning to draw [[comic book]]s professionally. He made it through two and a half years of classes before finally deciding he'd learned all he could from them, and moved on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chris is currently engaged in the creation of comic books for [[FurNation|FurNation Multimedia]], including ''[[Cobalt (comic book)|Cobalt]]'', a series featuring his alter-ego, [[Cobalt (Delos)|Cobalt the Delos]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also runs two [[Yahoo!]] groups: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*  [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/big_pit/ Cobalt's Big Pit Of Stuff] where he publishes his newest art, political rants, and various random musings.&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/clubfoozle Club Foozle], which is a yahoo group dedicated to his &amp;quot;foozle&amp;quot; alien race.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chris also plays his alter ego Cobalt on [[Second Life]]. There he runs a car dealership, a dance club, and [[The Radio Theatre]], which plays old time radio shows.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Non Furry Work==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chris has designed packaging, toys and other craft products for [[Wikipedia:Rose Art Industries|RoseArt Industries]], Peachtree Playthings, and [http://YummyUs.com YummyUs.com]. Indeed, almost all of the images on YummyUs.com's &amp;quot;3d CAD compatible&amp;quot; page are his work, as is their big, candy logo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The work done for these companies involved 2D PhotoShop work for packaging, and 3D computer modelling of prototype products.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;[[Image:Worldtreecover.jpg|right|thumb|250px|World Tree primes; top to bottom, left to right: Zi Ri, Khtsoyis, Gormoror, Herethroy, Orren, Cani, Sleeth and Rassimel]]&lt;br /&gt;
'''World Tree''' is a [[role-playing]] game set in a world where several [[:Category:Species|species]] of mostly-[[anthropomorphic]] beings (the ''primes'') are the norm. It was created by [[Bard Bloom]] and [[Victoria Borah Bloom]] and released in 2001. It was nominated for ''Best Anthropomorphic Game'' and ''Best Anthropomorphic Published Illustration'' in the 2001 [[Ursa Major Awards]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
World Tree's focus is ''species and civilization''. It is not by design a &amp;quot;hack'n'slash&amp;quot; RPG; although combat plays a part, intelligent role-playing is likely to get you just as far (or further) in most campaigns. Similarly, the creative use of spontaneous magic - available to virtually everyone, including all eight prime species - can be a deciding factor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
World Tree civilization is not unlike human civilization - there are cities, guilds, merchants, schools, and even prostitution (with a twist). However, the pervasive nature of magic, the lack of abundant metals and the diversity of species on the World Tree necessarily dictate a few changes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== The world ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
World Tree is set (naturally) on a gigantic tree, with branches tens of thousands of miles long and hundreds of miles wide. The main trunk itself is two hundred miles in diameter - the area of the topmost nine branches is called Ketheria, and is the home to prime civilization. Lower branches become progressively colder, bleaker, and more monster-ridden (for increasingly terrestrial definitions of &amp;quot;monster&amp;quot; - the prime definition is &amp;quot;not a prime&amp;quot;). It is not known if there is a root to the World Tree, but if so, it is likely to be hundreds or thousands of branches down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== The gods ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The World Tree (along with all its inhabitants) was created by seven gods (the ''Verb'' gods), who are assisted in running it by twelve other gods (the ''Noun'' gods). They are the source of magic in the world - the appropriate verb gods are invoked for the action to be performed by the magic, and the noun gods for the things it is to operate on. For example, a ''Creoc Pyrador'' spell to create heat or flame would involve Virid and Flokin respectively.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is an accepted fact that the gods exist. They are mostly seen only through their magic; some occasionally take a more active role in the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Prime species ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most inhabitants of the upper branches of the World Tree are members of one of eight ''prime species'':&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''Cani''''' are [[canines|doglike]]; fiercely loyal, with a love for hierarchy&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''Herethroy''''' are cricketlike, with hard shells and usually placid natures&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''Orren''''' are otterlike; water-loving, carefree, and prone to wild rushes of activity&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''Rassimel''''' are raccoonfolk; obsessive, yet social (with those who share their obsessions)&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''Khtsoyis''''' are crude, levitating cephalopods, with a penchant for violence and petty crime&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''Gormoror''''' are bearlike; rough and honourable to a fault - think [[:Wikipedia:Klingon|Klingons]], but furry&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''Sleeth''''' are non-anthropomorphic [[felines]], about the size and temperament of panthers&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''Zi Ri''''' are rare, elegant, oft-feathered, immortal, [[dragon]]like [[hermaphrodite]]s&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Herethroy, Cani, Orren and Rassimel are the most numerous species, with Khtsoyis, Gormoror, Sleeth and especially Zi-Ri being rarer. Cani, Rassimel, Khtsoyis, and some Orren prefer the cities, while Herethroy, Gormoror, Sleeth and the lazier Orren tend to stay outside.&lt;br /&gt;
