FULL_DESCRIPTION

MESSAGE:

Martin Louis Beasely, or “Flak” and “FlakFerret” is my fursona, and is the de-facto representation of my personal brand.  While he exists as a character in fiction, his likeness and portrayal in the form of a logo and mascot are crucial to the identity of my business.

Flak is a white ferret with distinct grey/silver markings along his back, shoulder, sides and around his eyes.  He presents with split and slicked hair.  He can often be found wearing professional attire and is a prominent fixture on my personal signage, and all business conduct correspondence.
