about (≧◡≦)


online, i use the names kat, ezra, and kittie. i have no preference, go wild. my pronouns are they/them, he/him, and it/it's, but i do prefer they/them.


i have been an artist for about 11 years now! i am certified in both adobe photoshop and adobe illustrator. :3


my main programs of choice are ibis paint x, adobe photoshop, and firealpaca, but i use other stuff when i feel like it, too.


i am going to college in 2026 as a computer science major! that's fun.


my story:


i don't remember much from 2014, because i was like 6, but what i do remember is that ever since i could pick up a pencil i was obsessed with drawing. was i any good at it? not really. but i stayed consistent, and never stopped drawing. i mainly drew fnaf and eddsworld fanart, but i was no stranger to stuff like bendy and the ink machine, the legend of zelda, and hello neighbor, too. i was what you would call a "weird kid", but i'm not all that ashamed of that. if i was never a weird kid, i don't think i'd know who i am today. anyway, most of my days at this time were spent on the internet, watching, browsing, and making fanart and fan content. in 2017, i found hatsune miku and doki doki, which introduced me to more kinds of anime. before this, i really only knew shows like pokemon indigo league, bakugan, and yu gi oh, so when i learned that there was more to that world? i lost it. i identified with being a "weeb", even though i didn't fully know what that meant. to me, that was just somebody that liked anime and japan. a lot. boy was i wrong, but i won't deny that that anime obsession changed my life for the better. without anime, i don't think i would be as obsessed with computer science as i am. but more on that later on.


when i was a kid, i adored anything to do with animals. i loved warrior cats, survivors, sonic, undertale, allll of it. it wasn't until about 2019, though, where i actually got involved in furry stuff. once i found it, i was hooked, and i obsessed over furries like crazy. i called myself one, despite a heavy backlash from Literally Everyone in my life, because they all only associated furries with the sexual nature. i didn't care about that, i identified the way i wanted to regardless. when i wasn't doing my work (which was often), i was watching furry animation meme compilations, furry storytime youtubers (like katzun and chipflake), and watching furry commentary (big sigh. think synnibear03.) i had never been so crazy about a fandom before, but i wasn't complaining. it meant so much to me, even if there was some bad. i think every fandom is destined to have that.



through the furry fandom, i discovered what a lot of queerness was. unfortunately, my mother was insanely -ist and -phobic of just about everything you could think of, so i was raised with an ideal that so many things were wrong and unnatural. but when i found the furry community and saw that all of these things were so openly accepted, and even creators that i looked up to (katzun, chipflake, foxi boxi) all identified in such a way or showed support, it made me think about things entirely differently. what do you mean my feelings about not identifying the way i was born was actually completely normal, and so many people openly felt this way and had support? when i would go home and hear opposing things from my mother? it was so insane to me, but i immediately felt such a security and love for myself when i knew that i wasn't crazy, and that i wasn't alone. so, with that, i started identifying with transgenderism and homosexuality, even projecting as such on my OCs and sonas, and i never looked back. even today, i'm still so grateful for the furry community and it's open arms, because it helped me learn and love so many things about myself that i was taught to hate myself for.


computer science and anime; how on earth did i make this connection? a lot of the anime i was watching had a strong fandom overlap with those interested in computers and tech, too, so i was seeing a lot of content about computers online. i started coding in 2015 using scratch, however i never cared too awfully much about computers and coding itself until i saw this fandom overlap. in 6th grade, i decided to take a computer science because i was so interested, and i immediately fell in love with coding and computers during the class. it was so basic, such a bare bones approach to coding, but i loved it. i loved being so personal with the computer's workings, and i loved seeing how my very own code could make a computer system do stuff. it was beautiful to me, and spoke to me on such a strong level. yes i do have autism. i so strongly carried this love, all the way until 2020, and my parents divorced. this crushed me so hard that i no longer really cared about anything. i stopped drawing, stopped coding, stopped caring about my classes. i was just tired, making sure i made it through every day. i ended up picking art back up, but not coding. it wasn't until all the way in 10th grade, 2023, that i attempted picking it back up again. it was harder than i remembered, and i was so discouraged at first. but i practiced and practiced all the way from then and now, and i would say i got moderately ok. i know that i've so much more to learn, but that's awesome to me. i'm so excited to learn more and update this section and site itself moving forward! c:
