A black and white photo of me wearing my marlin fursuit head. There is a stuffed leather strap keeping its mouth held closed, and I’m holding my finger up to its mouth.

A photo of me wearing my marlin fursuit, with a black baseball cap balanced on the fin on top of my head.
A photo of me doodling on someone’s shirt. You can see I am drawing a cartoony version of a marlin, and writing my name.

DAY 4
Just a couple of snippets I have on hand that I wanted to share. I’m sure I will share my favorite photos and clips as people continue to share them with me.
Thank you Anthrocon! You made me feel so special. I won’t be far away, come back soon 🖤

DAY 2
Another day full of fun! Not sure who the fish (tuna?) is but they were hilarious. And behold, my special balancing act.
#VINNYFISHFACE
Giving my head a spa day and some final touches before the convention!
Did someone say branchiostegal rays?
(Nobody said branchiostegal rays)
#VINNYFISHFACE
My marlin fursuit head positioned as if it’s connected to it’s matching fursuit tail to create some strange looking fish mermaid creature.

OH LOVELY DAY!
#VinnyFishFace
A photograph of a marlin, staring directly at the camera. It looks a little goofy. It has a lure in its mouth. It’s top bill appears to be broken.
My standing facing the camera. I’m wearing my Marlin fursuit head, battle jacket, skinny jeans and black boots. Someone is holding a phone camera close to my head and there are two bystanders in the background.
fake vs real or something

A photo of myself with my blue marlin fursuit had on, tangled up in Christmas lights that are shaped like fish, and wearing a battle jacket. The background is edited to be a black to grey gradient. There is a candy cane hooked in my fursuit head’s lip.
I fish you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Me in my blue marlin fursuit head getting my nose-to-fin length measured by the OSHA furry con cosplayers
Me in my blue marlin fursuit head striking a fun pose with the sunset in the background
Me in my blue marlin fursuit head attempting to play the flute in a hotel bathroom, with the mirror reflection showing my reflection
The final stretch to AC I was battling what was left of a cold, working full time & hand sewing all of this together. I remember putting so much time to finish.
I’m glad I did though because AC was unforgettable and people were not too shy to tell me they really liked it.

#Fursuit
A “bucket head” type base for a first head with a long nose roughly sculpted from green foam attached to it.
A photo of me wearing the rough base for my blue marlin fursuit head, all exposed rough foam
My blue marlin fursuit head base WIP smoothed slightly with small patches of felt covering some of the roughest parts. And mock eyes placed over the eye holes
My blue marlin fursuit head base with the fleece skin partially laid over it to ensure it seems like it would fit mid-process
For this #FursuitFriday I’d like to show a little bit of the process that went into making my head!
I started very casually in January 2024. And just worked on it on occasion. Until it was crunch time right before AC anyway.

A photo of me in my Vinny Blue Marlin fursuit head drinking a beer
I found out I could drink with the head on and I haven’t been the same since. Now I only have one joke and I never get tired of it.
