WPAFW 2022 Guest of Honor: Relosaurus

Ahmar Wolf

Goood Morning WPAFW! Today we welcome our Guest of Honor for 2022: @Relosaurus

Rel is an artist currently living in the Hudson Valley area of New York. They lived in Pittsburgh from 2015-2020, when they first volunteered and then became staff for WPAFW.

They were first introduced to the furry community when they were 13, and they immediately fell in love with the big fluffy critters. They started drawing right away, and they’ve been drawing for fun ever since! They also enjoy fursuiting in their red panda suit, Blue.

You can find them of course on Twitter, but also on Furaffinity https://furaffinity.net/user/relosaurus/… and Deviantart https://deviantart.com/Relosaurus !

Fur Con News: WPAFW, Fur Squared Make Both Vaccines and Mask Mandatory

Ahmar Wolf

A little warning if you plan on using a fake vaccine card. This is now illegal and you can go to REAL jail over this. So always us a legit one.

As much as some of us find masks annoying, and I include myself in that group. If you want to go to a con YOU MUST WEAR ONE. Many a con have set policies that you let that mask slip and you will get booted from the con.

My only advice to those who don’t want to go that route. Stay home.

Anthrocon

A few weeks ago Uncle Kage warned of crooked dealers and of how Anthrocon was looking for solutions. The sad fact is that cons have always had their issues with crooks. There are a few that happened at MFF I know about. This is why it is so important when a commission goes wrong, report it to the con ASAP
