  I'm currently studying 4th year of plastic arts at Universidad de Chile. I was supposed to get a specialization in goldsmithing if I did the thesis next year, but I decided not to do it to devote myself to what I am good at. To I decided to become a fursuitmaker. Besides I don't want to continue studying or do a master. I think I will only pay the sewing courses, epoxy resin work and 3D modeling. I have made the decision to dedicate myself to fursuits making, to live from cons and commissions. basically to be independent. It is not just something I see in the future, since it is a decision already taken and to which I already dedicate myself but in less time, next year this will be full time. For the cons I will make animal ears and tails, some keychains, maybe embroidery and also plan to bring some furhead as an exhibition.  I know it will be hard work but I'm very anxious to start with this project of opening my online store. I don't know how much I will travel, bec...

 It is hilarious to talk about this topic because I study arts and I consider myself an artist, but not the conventional kind of artist that many people may know. Since I was a child I've always liked to draw. it was something that always was present in my life since my parents studied graphic design. so yes, you could say that my love for drawing and the arts runs through my veins. Also My mother loves going to the museum, and thats why I know quite a few exhibitions, especially from my career. I specialize in digital illustration and fursuitmaking (which consists of making anthropomorphic animals costumes). both related to the furry community as you can see in the next images. I love animation, whether in a movie or in animated TV series, this is also art so it's something I have always enjoyed. My dad and I always looking for new series with more elaborated designs or with more artistic liberties. I have never been related to art made of human parts. I have had college mate...

 The best concert I have ever been to was the concert of "one ok rock" I went with my dad and had a great time. It was about 9 years ago at the dome theater in Parque O’Higgings The venue was smaller compared to other concerts I've been to, so it was quite close to the stage and there were also spectacular acoustics. One ok rock is a Japanese alternative rock band and I honestly didn't know there was such a big community of fans in Chile, I never thought they would come, since not many Asian bands come to the country, especially at that time. One of the things I liked the most was that my dad also enjoyed the concert, I remember he told me that the drummer played excellent and that the band had a good rhythm. I remember I took my camera, recorded several songs and took a lot of pictures, my arms were very sore because my camera was heavy hahaha. At the time the lead singer of the band was my platonic love so to have him so close was amazing; to hear him sing, to see h...

  When I hear the songs of Mazapán and Cachureos. It takes me back to the moments when my mother sang to me or when I was brushing my teeth to the rhythm of "lávate los dientes" I've always love holidays, especially Christmas and Halloween. I can almost remember what I did on all of those dates. I remember the Christmas when I got my first bicycle. I was about 6 years old and remember that i imagined the I saw Santa clos in the sky (really a child's imagination is very vivid). And To this day there is not a single Halloween that I don't spend with my childhood friend, we have always loved to dress up, go out trick-or-treating and watch horror movies. It has become a tradition to get together to eat and watch movies. I learned to swim un a poll when I was a little girl (in fact it was almost by instinct). Although I still have memories of those moments when I almost got drowned haha. I've always loved playing in the street. I used to play with younger kids and ...
