It's the year of the snake and Morphicon 2013 "Furries around the World" with guests of honor P. Moss and Ebony Leopard is only four months away. There are still many slots open for early Patrons and Hypertrophes to get into Morphicion's custom Loteria set, so if you would like to get immortalized in a piece of Morphicon memorabilia there is no time better to register than now.
-= Don't Forget to Pre-Register =-
Early-Bird Registration for Morphicon 2013: Furries Around The World ends on March 1st don't forget to act quickly to secure your $10 discount.
If you miss the early bird special you can still register online until April 18th, and of course registration will be available at the con, but you won't get the discount! For those of you who would like to get something extra special though register as either a Patron or Hypertrophe by March 1st 2013 and you'll get the chance to be immortalized in a Morphicon edition of Loteria ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loter%.....8board_game%29 ) created by Kattywampus. There are only 54 spots with Hypertrophes going first so if you want to be included in the game, the sooner you register the better your chances! Also of special consideration, the game will be part of the Hypertrophe goodie bag, while copies will also be available for sale and to play at the con.

Want to know more about our guests for 2013? Here is a little about them!
P.Moss
Meredith Waricka, More commonly known as P.Moss or just Moss has been drawing since she could hold a crayon. Cartoons and comics have always been very inspirational specifically the Gargoyles franchise which aired while she was in high school. Moss attended CCAD where she studied Animation (which she didn’t take to :u), Graphic Design and Illustration (which became her passion). Jumping into furry head first she attended her first furry con as a dealer and has never looked back. Moss has been a full time fandom artist for over a year now traveling to upwards of 12 conventions a year and living primarily on beef jerky, diet coke, and the love of her amazing fan base.
Ebony Leopard
Shawntae Howard is the creator, writer, and illustrator of the comicExtinctioners. He began is comic career in 1994, at the age of 17, when he self-published his own comic and sold in his local comic book shops. He first became aware of the furry fandom in 1996, thanks to a random chance search result on Webcrawler. Who know his first exposure to the internet and a wondering if there were others who liked to draw things like he did would result in thousands of search hits just because of the simple word, furry. (The most generic thing he could think of to describe his cartoon animals).
One year later, Shawntae would get his first chance at being a published artist, when his art submissions to Vision Comics would be accepted for their fourth edition of the American Journal of Anthropmorphic. It was thanks to that submission that he would gain the attention of Mike and Carol Curtis, writers of Shanda the Panda and Katmandu, who would contact him to submit samples of both books’ characters as an audition to become lead penciler for one of the titles. His submission gained him the job of head penciler for Katmandu, ,which he did for 14 issues. His work on Katmandu would lead him to doing his own series, Extinctioners, in 1998, which would continue with Shanda Fantasy Arts in 1999 for 15 issues, and now currently as of 2009 with Angry Viking Press.
Besides comics, Shawntae works as an art teacher, with middle school kids, has a massive collection of comic books, animated movies, and Transformers, and is a very happy soon to be husband.
