| WHOOZFUR INC
Whoozfur is derived from the word Hoosier which is the nickname of Indiana natives. years ago, Whoozfur became the unofficial name given to furries in Indiana in 1998 when the internet based social group was created, and still is to this day. We thought it only fitting for the parent company to run IndyFurCon to be named Whoozfur Inc. Founded in 2009, Whoozfur Inc is a non profit 501(c)7 corporation. It’s soul purpose is to organize and produce a convention annualy to showcase anthropomorphic art, creatures, and education. |

| THE MASCOTS
This convention celebrates Indiana. The cardinal is Indiana’s state bird. Our buffalo is from the state seal. Basketball is a long time heritage to many hoosiers. The Indianapolis Colts recently were Super Bowl champions, which is the reason for the football the buffalo holds. The colors of their jerseys are the official state colors from the flag and are also the colors of the Indiana Pacers.
Guest of HonorThe guest of honor for iFC 2011 has been announced: Tincrash
Science Fiction and Fantasy have always been large influences in his life, and he has been attending Sci-Fi conventions since he was in high school. He has yet to miss a Midwest Furfest, and has attended several other furry conventions where he can often be found in their artist alleys if he’s not in the dealer’s rooms selling commissions for badges, sketchbook, or lose bristol board drawings. Collecting art from his favorite artists, both at conventions and online, has also become one of his driving passions. Transformation has also been an ongoing fascination and inspiration for Noel. He loves to investigate, through his drawings, the process of a person’s form changing from whatever they were to whatever they might become; but he also enjoys seeing how the person might adapt or deal with being something they weren’t. Constantly drawing transformations has imbued his art with tight, but easy anatomy and fluid poses for an overall cartoony style. However, contrary to most transformation work, his subjects almost universally enjoy, even relish, their transformations unless his commissioners prefer the subject to experience some other emotions.

Noel “Tincrash” Melendez is a furry and transformation artist who works primarily with color or monochrome pencils and inks. He’s been drawing since grade school when he would trace artwork out of comic books where he focused on characters like Optimus Prime and the horse alien from Power Pack. From there he grew to freehand drawing his favorite comic book characters, which started to shift to more anthropomorphic characters in the mid 80′s. By the early 90′s his comic interests, and thus his art, had focused primarily on anthro characters and their stories, which tended to be more light-hearted than the super hero comics of the time. By then he was drawing wholly original characters, such as his fursnona, Tincrash the raccoon.
