Telephone, the lovable character brought to life by the performance artist Ino, is our Guest of Honor for Infurnity 2026! Ino is the creator of the world-famous “Dutch Angel Dragon” species, the lead artist at Skypro Fursuits, and an active philanthropist.
As one of the most popular species in the furry community, the Dutch Angel Dragon’s unique traits and lore were all crafted by Ino. These adorable, long-eared, winged dragon-like creatures have inspired countless creators to design their own characters. Through incredible creativity and performance skills, Ino brings “Telephone” to life—whether bouncing around, making cute chirping sounds, or tearing up the dance floor, Telephone’s infectious energy never fails to leave a lasting impression. Ino has also competed in fursuit dance competitions at various major conventions, taking home multiple awards.
In addition to being a full-time fursuit maker, Ino creates art in both traditional and digital mediums. Ino’s hobbies include horseback riding, drawing, and teaching others how to craft their own wearable works of art. Beyond art, Ino is deeply committed to giving back, having raised funds for local food drives in Payson, Arizona, and working closely with “Child Crisis Arizona.” If you attend conventions in the US, you’ll likely spot Telephone carrying a donation bucket to raise money for non-profits. Ino has also generously auctioned off numerous art pieces to support various charitable causes.
At Infurnity this year, Ino and Telephone will be hosting a special Dutch Angel Dragon meet&greet! Be sure to come by, say hi, and share in the fun!
