Genesis Whitmore first entered into the fandom (as Genesis Cook) via a few fan letters she sent to Albedo and Hepcats in the early 1990's during the black and white comic explosion happening at the time. She found copies of Critters and Usagi Yojimbo and began trying to learn off of them and discover other similar comics. The internet was not as developed back then, so she met her first true furry friends via penpal. And it was through them that she entered into her first fanzine, a Canadian based APA run by Growl called Fur-Thest North Crew.

From there she was hooked and loved the fact that there was a fandom of people who enjoyed drawing and writing stories about anthropomorphics as much as she did, and has been relatively active ever since.

She first drew herself as an anthropomorphic cat, but switched to a fox in 2006 for various reasons. Her persona has always been called simply "Gen", as she feels that since her RL name is odd enough, her cartoon alt can have something a little more normal.

Convention Appearances

Her first convention was ConFurence Five in 1994. She has also attended Furtasticon as a guest (which later became ConFurence East), Duckon (as the furry GoH one year), Anthrocon, Furry Spring Break, and she still regularly attends Megaplex, serving as the Dealer's Room liason. When finances allow, she also attends Dragoncon and Megacon.

Publication History

Her artwork not only has appeared in FNC, but also Rowrbrazzle, Huzzah, Furrlough, Gallery, Pawprints, Yarf! and The American Journal of Anthropomorphics.

In 2009, she printed the first collection of her webcomic in a manga sized graphic novel, Little Tales, Year One.

Other Creative Outlets

Besides artwork she also does a little bit of sculpting when she can get her hands on some oven bake clay and paints, gaming miniature kitbashing, writing, and roleplaying. She was formerly staff on SinaiMuck and FurrySpace, and is currently one of the wizards of Twisted Kingdoms.

Personal Details

She resides in Orlando Florida with her husband, her cat, and a colony of domesticated rats that she names after video game characters.

She has been married to Scott Whitmore since 1997 and uses the marriage as one of the primary inspirations of her webcomic, Little Tales.
