I'm Dolphanatic. l've been drawing animals since I was a kid and am happy to be part of a community that shares that interest. When I'm not drawing a certain dolphin superhero of my childhood imagination, I'm most likely geeking out over roller coasters or photographing the world around me. My knowledge, skills, and beliefs are mine and mine alone.
If you've stumbled here by chance, know that you just found the profile of a self-taught artist whose mind runs wild in his spare time. What you see here is just the tip of the iceberg that is my creative ambition. Slowly but surely, I've given myself the means to produce my own content, and in a world with too many consumers and not enough creators, I cherish that independence.
I have an unusual mind, so you better believe I'm not afraid to go a against what's popular (as if the fact that I use GIMP isn't already a dead giveaway). I'm also not afraid to speak my mind. I don't get along with most furries despite being one myself, as my experience in the community has been full of betrayal and heartbreak, but I refuse to let that demoralize me. I'm still here, whether to carry on for those I knew who aren't around anymore or to spite those who wish I wasn't. For every negative experience, I remind myself of those few fellow furries whom I've met on my journey whose appreciation has meant the world to me, even if it's just a private message or a comment here and there. I see every little thing.
Yes, I'm stubbornly set in my ideological ways, and yes, I get political when the time calls for it, but rest assured that I'm no pushover for political correctness. To anyone who dares to go after me or my followers with the intent of leveraging petty drama, know that I fight back, so be careful. I'm not apologizing for who I am, what I like, or what I do. If my mere presence offends you, you're free to leave. I won't.
I've attended the following furry-related conventions:
Las Pegasus Unicon (yes, that disaster in 2013)
Arizona Fur Con 2017
Painted Desert Fur Con 2019
Painted Desert Fur Con 2020
Painted Desert Fur Con 2021/2022
Free Fur All 2022
Free Fur All 2023 (as staff, and yes, it was abysmal)
Another Furry Con 2024 (as staff)

About Me






"When you don't have ideas worth defending, when your argument lacks logic and rational thinking, you yell, shout down, and demonize your opponent. Instead of having the opportunity to improve your understanding and your foundational thinking by allowing it to be questioned and challenged, you add nothing to your knowledge by silencing those who disagree with you. It is the poorest form of debate."
-Rob Schneider (of all people... Go figure!)

Open for Minimalist-Style Commissions (4 Slots Available) (G)
2 weeks ago
Want a side profile of your fursona's head done in a minimalist silhouette style like my 10th anniversary Zootopia wallpaper? Now's your chance! I've decided to open up shop and give commissions a try. Turnout time should be roughly one week. I'm starting at a humble $15 per piece for now. Let me know if you're interested by messaging me.
