Thomas, Tess: Shibu's Tail

Tess Thomas is a writer living in Hoboken, NJ. She started her storytelling career at the age of 4 when she would dictate tales about her imaginary friends, Sami the cat and Doodie the dog, and send them to her grandparents. Tess loves french fries, her kids, and her husband (sometimes in that order).

Kamwei Fong is a contemporary artist whose series The Furry Thing began in 2009. His furry creations have since travelled the world, earning awards at the Salon des Beaux Arts in Paris and appearing in international art fairs, solo exhibitions, and art collaborations across Europe, Asia, and the United States. At home, he lives with his cats, who generously provide both chaos and creative inspiration.
