FEATURED ARTIST

Personal
Name: C. M. "Creideiki" Gauger-Cosgrove
Age: 20
Location: St. Catharine's, Ontario / Stoney Creek, Ontario
What do you do for a living?
Full-time undergraduate student at Brock University.
What are your hobbies?
Star Trek, Computer programming, Vintage computing, Music
Dolphin
What is your furry species?
Beluga (Delphinapterus leucas)
Why exactly this species?
They're cute, they're curious, and they're friendly.
What does it mean to you to be a dolphin furry? Is it just for fun or does it maybe have a deeper meaning?
It means much to be a ceta furry, mostly becuase it's somewhat more then just fun, it's also quite freeing, and I've always had a deep love of phins.
Have you ever seen a dolphin in RL?
Yes, quite often.
Have you ever swam with a dolphin in RL?
Nope, don't have the money.
Have you ever done whale watching?
Nope, not really that interesting to me.
Fandom
How long are you in fandom already?
Several years.
How did you get into fandom?
Too long a story which involves this [NSFW] and a 56K dial-up modem.
Why are you in fandom?
It is enjoyable, and a respite from boring daily life.
Ever been to a furry convention?
No.
Are you an artist? What kind of art do you produce?
Yes, I'm a musician; I also am getting into a bit of digital artwork and photography. (And if you consider programming an artform there's also that.)
What materials/programs do you use?
Depends on the area I'm working in. For music: Mostly Finale 2007c, jOrgan, and Audacity. For digital art and photography it's Photoshop CS3. (If you consider programming an artform... then things get too long to list.)
Do you do commissions?
No.
Pick three of your works from your FA gallery and pimp them right here!
