Jimmy Chin

Jimmy Chin spent his youth glued to his television watching cartoons and even auditioned for his college mascot. Although Jimmy found furry fandom through art, comics and animation circles in 1990, he is best known recently for his costume creations and performing.

After developing his craft in early fursuit circles in 1994, he'd gone on to professional mascot work with Major League Soccer, Major League Baseball and other sports leagues, as well as theme park and freelance costume positions. In 1997, Jimmy and friends founded Critters by the Bay, a troupe of freelance character performers, bringing smiles to the young and young at heart in the San Francisco Bay Area community.

Within furry fandom, Jimmy has inspired fursuit performers with his lively characters including Yippocrates Escondido "Yippee" Coyote, and raised the standard of convention stage shows by helping produce Furry Night Live, the annual variety show at Further Confusion.

Although his animation career was short-lived, Jimmy still dabbles in art from time to time.
