Started out in the fandom as a fursuiter (grizzly bear) then got a tiger suit, then built a bull suit. I've always liked big predatory animals (lions, tigers, bears... you get the point) perhaps its our love of meat. I seem to be vertically integrating by adding bovines to the end of the list, check out the bull suit photos. I built Burke the bull as a partial suit some time around 2006 and then had a small accident with the suit in 2009 (luggage came off the roof of my car on the way to furfright and the suit was destroyed). So I gathered up the pieces I could from the side of the road and rebuilt the suit in 2010 the way you see him now.

I'm hopeless with pen, pencil, ink, paint and drywall spackle. I'm better at taking broken things apart, fixing them, and putting them back together hopefully better than when I found them (cars, motorcycles, major appliances, electronic stuff). I have one of those brains that sees things as bits and pieces and how they fit together. Current projects right now are getting unpacked in the new house and getting the shop organized and operational. Then we can tackle stuff like restoring a 1960's VW dune buggy and a vintage 1982 VW Westfalia camper van and maybe getting a vintage Honda CX500 running.
