Furry Black History: Ken Sample
Today I'd like to shine a spotlight on Ken Sample, a Black man and living legend who has been illustrating furries, posting artwork, and creating original species since the 1970's. Considered the first in the fandom to have ever drawn a fursona - Ken Coug'r - the subculture would not be what it is today without his influence. He is one of the founders of the macrophile genre, and helped popularize modern furry art styles by breaking away from the 'human-with-animal-features' stylistics that were present in early fandom.

He isn't just an absolute legend, he's still here. Still posting art, taking commissions, and streaming at least twice a week.
