Career
Ursula Vernon grew up in Oregon and Arizona and studied anthropology at Macalester College in Saint Paul, Minnesota, where she first took art classes. She first became well-known for her webcomics and as a freelance artist, particularly for her paintings featuring anthropomorphic animals. She then moved to writing and illustrating a few children's books, her first being published in 2008, and then adult books under the pseudonym T. Kingfisher. Ursula K. LeGuin, who once joked that the initials "Ulysses Kingfisher" would stand for "Ulysses Kingfisher), she decided to use the pseudonym in order to avoid confusion amongst parents who were only familiar with her as a children's book author. She has written short fiction under both names and has received a number of accolades for them, including the Hugo Award and Nebula Award. Vernon regularly attends conventions to exhibit and sell her work, and has been a guest of honor at Midwest FurFest 2004 and 2009 and the Artist Guest of Honor at More Confusion 2010.
