FurryJackman, also known as Jack Raccoon and Jack Zhang, is a Chinese-Canadian fursuiter who lives in British Columbia, Canada.[1]

Biography[edit]

Jack has high functioning autism[2] and is dealing with difficult mental health issues, regularly speaking about it on his Fur Affinity and Weasyl journals. Univaded Fox remained Jack's friend through said issues up until 2022.

Jack is a graduate of The British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) in the Broadcast Television diploma.[3] He was in the same class as Edzel Yago and Brandon Lee from Linus Tech Tips. Unfortunately due to a mental health assessment in the late 2010s by social services in his province, he was deemed unfit to work without his mental health issues resolved. He remains unemployed and on disability payments as of 2024.

Around the beginning of the 2020s, Jack attempted to live on his own in individual housing, only to have multiple evictions affect him. First due to a landlord death, and a second due to intense landlord beliefs of insanity equating to autism/ASD. This was spoken of on posts on his Mastodon.

Fandom involvement[edit]

Jack was introduced to the furry fandom in 2009 after going to BC Furries fursuit bowling, and was active at the event monthly until he gravitated towards conventions like Howloween.

Jack has collaborated with Baby Cheetah and Univaded Fox in the past for VancouFur promotional videos and video tech work, lending his Sony PMW-EX1R and skill behind the camera for said projects/cons. He was video lead for BronyCAN, and did all promotional videos for them up until 2015.[4] He along with Beekin were part of the AV crew for VancouFur 2022, Howloween 2022 and VancouFur 2023.

He was principal videographer for SurviFur 21 at VancouFur 2023.

Jack was unable to fully attend Howloween 2023 nor VancouFur 2024 due to numerous logistical issues. Conventions in 2024 were also affected by the aforementioned eviction order from landlords. Due to extreme mental health issues, as of July 2024, Jack is minimizing his fandom involvement while he seeks to get fully settled and have his mental health issues resolved.

Fursonas[edit]

Jack Raccoon is Jack's primary fursona. He is a Raccoon that loves video cameras and video production. His fursuit was created by Oceanwolf and is a partial suit with arm sleeves, a tail, and optional sockpaws. The fursuit made it's debut at RainFurrest 2015.

George Z. Fox is a micro fox/macro fennec character that Jack uses to express the macro/micro part of his personality. More recently, George has become friends with Kilodyne Kez.
