Happy 60 years, Richard Concepcíon!

Hello, the greatest fursona of all time may've been a New York City man of Filipino origin, by the name of Richard James Concepcion. He was also the voice of 'Rapid T Rabbit' (his most notable creation) in 'Rapid T Rabbit & Friends' (another notable creation of his), which is also the longest running furry-themed television show of all time.

On Friday October the 27 2017: I went to a big Interact Festival (it is located at the Corban's gallery, which is in Henderson, a once happier suburb where my dad grew up) with people from the Totara Learning Centre, and it's very cool. The best part: my fellow Totara buddies Stephanie Wang (who went to Unitec from 2018 onwards) and Lea Matas Stankovic strode on the catwalk for a New Age Travellers themed fashion show! Another great part: I drew at least three artworks memorising the late Rapid T Rabbit man. 

The Hobbyist, my Chogokin loving twin, has had lots of research on the furry fandom, their misrepresentations and their growing impact on popular culture. Furries are not just about being a different identity, they could be mostly millennials themselves. He also watched 'Furries in the Media', a furry themed web show made by a cool Vixen costumed YouTuber! Her 'fursona name' is Aberguine and is an increasingly influential twentysomething geek that produces this show.

The Hobbyist knew the furry fandom for a year (or so) now, but not the late Richard James Concepcion nor his older brother Dennis? Hail Richard, the king of furry fandom classics.
