Currently, our tentative guest list consists of Dr. Samuel Conway, also known as Uncle Kage; Malcolm Earle, better known as Max the Black Rabbit; animator Aura Moser; and film star Zigzag.

Graphic artist, Erika Leigh Rosengarten, will be speaking this year. Since 1999, she had been involved with I-CON's Children's Programming for five years. This year she will be providing tips on Photoshop and character costuming construction. Past work of hers can be seen throughout the convention, Megaplex's web site, convention book, and often the paint or pencils found on her hands. More work of hers can be seen at http://mynameis.org and http://mynameis.org/illustrations.

Photographer Leonard Provansano will once again be on hand to show us the exciting art of costume photography and photo editing. Shanda Fantasy Arts illustrator Michelle Latta will host more Photoshop workshops as well as being the guide to one of our life drawing panels.

We once again plan to have a panel on the Ursa Major award. What is that, you ask? In 2001 Furry fandom started the annual Ursa Major Awards, similar to SF fandom's Hugo awards. The 2004 Awards will be presented at C- ACE in Ottawa in June. E-mail Discussions are currently being held to improve and expand the awards. For more information, see their website at www.ursamajorawards.org. This year, we will discuss the what has come before and what the future will hold for furry literature. As always, if you want to learn more about furry fandom, an excellent place to start is Peter Cat's Furry Info Page.

This year we will have an Artist's Alley in conjunction with the art show. For more information write us at artistalley@iconsf.org. We will have a limited number of tables this year, so if you're an artist and are interested, please contact us early so we can plan to accommodate you. Artist's Alley is a long-standing tradition at anthrophromorphic conventions, and is beginning to become popular at others as well. We also may have more furry dealers this year.

If there are any further questions, e-mail us at furry@iconsf.org
