Performer GOH – Kitt Frost!
Rosa Thorns / Kitt Frost has been part of the Furry fandom since 1996, inspired by a lifelong upbringing in the arts and a passion for creative expression. What began with illustration and storytelling grew into a deep commitment to community leadership and service. At Texas Furry Fiesta, Kitt has served as Head of HR and now contributes as the Charity Director, helping guide meaningful partnerships that strengthen both the fandom and the world beyond it. In 2025, Kitt helped TFF raise over $50,000 for the Center for Animal Research and Education (CARE), marking one of the event’s most impactful charitable achievements.
Kitt has also been a warm, welcoming host and emcee since 2015, bringing inclusive energy to stages at TFF, Texas Furry Siesta, StratosFur, and Megaplex. Through Otterly Fierce Productions, he continues championing creativity, collaboration, and uplifting entertainment, always guided by the belief that the fandom thrives when every voice has space to shine.
Professional GOH – SrBilyon!
SrBilyon is an indie game developer, software engineer, photographer and many other things that grew up playing too much Sonic the Hedgehog Pokemon/Digimon, and Crash Bandicoot. The question of “should I make all the characters in this game animals?” became the spearhead of my involvement in the furry community. I’m also a member of Black Voices in Gaming, as well as a member of The Game Awards – Future Class.
My contributions thus far include being Lead programmer on the visual novel, Sweet Leaves, haphazardly doing pixel art of over 300 fursonas (and counting) and leading the development of the game, Breeze in the Clouds (it’s coming out, I swear!).
If you follow me on Bluesky, I’m sorry.
Artist GOH – GloPossum!
Glopossum is a Seattle-based furry comic artist & illustrator whose work highlights & celebrates queer sexuality, kink, and the trans experience. She’s been an active and enthusiastic member of the furry community for over 20 years, and drawing for even longer! A prolific comic artist, she’s now published three works, “Crossing That Bridge,” “A Show of the Ropes,” and “Regular Orders,” with a fourth, “The Common Grounds,” currently in progress.
While she’s been reading & making comics since childhood, Glopossum only started making longform furry comics in 2018, starting her debut work “Crossing That Bridge” after many years of commission work and building her audience. A reflection of her own gender journey, it was met with acclaim upon its completion in 2020, and the newfound success enabled her to start making comics full-time. Her follow-up comics, “A Show of the Ropes,” “Regular Orders,” and the currently in-progress “The Common Grounds” have also been widely celebrated. Each provide their own respective window into different gender identities, the intertwining of identity and sexuality, and life before, during, and after this sexual self-actualization.
The furry fandom’s acceptance of its trans & queer members and its sex positivity has been a longtime friend and inspiration to her over the years. The fandom’s welcoming environment has and continues to cultivate her growth as an artist and person and, in return, the reflections of those experiences shared in her work have had a profound impact on many queer people within the fandom.
We are so excited to welcome Glopossum as a Guest of Honor for TFS 2026, as we celebrate everything Pride means to us all!
Fursuit GOH – CuttleBone Costumes!
Tristan “Cuttlebone” is a queer and trans multi-disciplinary artist based in San Antonio, Texas, with a primary focus on fursuit making. Cuttlebone grew up in Virginia and since childhood, enjoyed all things art and movement based. Their interests have taken them into different directions such as leather-working, print and bindery, snowboarding, and rhythm games. They started their fursuit journey like many makers do: too young to afford a suit and taking a crack at making one for themselves. The rest is history! They made their own niche, establishing their work around 2012 and becoming best known for their way of bodysuit tailoring and their skateboarding antics in costume.
Around 2020, they would take a hiatus to begin a family. As they returned to a more active role in the community, they shifted their focus into giving back and bridging connections. In 2023, they started hosting action-sports based meetups in a local parenting group, then took another short break for the birth of their second child. In 2025, they came back on the scene by re-establishing local furry art jams that are still running today.
In early 2026, Cuttlebone would volunteer as convention staff for the first time. The enjoyable experience showed them how conventions truly run on the efforts of the folks and furs in the background. With that in mind, they pooled together the collective ambitions of several local groups and established San Antonio Furry Events (S.A.F.E.). This umbrella group of volunteers focuses on collaboration, charity, outreach, and furry lifestyle awareness. In mid March, S.A.F.E. hosted their inaugural furmeet that would reach a San Antonio non-convention record for attendance with over 115 people and helped to raise over $1,100 in food and supplies for the Thrive Youth Center, an emergency shelter for homeless LGBTQ youth. S.A.F.E. would also have presence in San Antonio’s annual Trans Day of Visibility march in mid April, as Cuttlebone firmly believes there is no LGBT without the T.
They would not be where they are today if not for the queer acceptance, experiences, friendships, patience, and guidance shown to them in their early years in the fandom. As the fandom (and their children) age, their goals include continuing to facilitate community growth and building a better future for youth and young adults entering the fandom just as they did. They are excited to pour time into volunteering, education, and networking with various collectives and organizations throughout the Alamo region and abroad.
Cuttlebone is excited to be able to celebrate Juneteenth with everyone at TFS!
