a few minutes ago, at exactly midnight, i heard soft distant honking and looked out the cracked window to see a group of trumpeter swans flying low over the fields, huge and white and unearthly, their shadows flung crisp-black onto glittering snow by the moonlight, and then they were gone and a moment later their voices were gone too and in the wake of them was a sort of loneliness that is hard to quite get words around

My gf and I spotted a dappermouth panther sticker at Kilby Court in SLC the other day! 👀 I didn't know you had stickers and uhhhh where can I buy them??
ohhh haha me & João sneaky-slapped that particular sticker up when we were at the Ghostly Kisses show back in June! I don't have them for sale quite yet but I'm in the process of turning a bunch of designs into stickers...to sell in a fun little pack perhaps...

Heyooo! I hope you're well, Jenna! Will you be planning on restocking you Destroyer pins? I was saving up for one, but now they're sold out 😭
Hi! Yes, definitely planning to get them restocked, just not 100% sure when they'll arrive. That said, if anybody wants one right now (and a bit cheaper!) I've just listed the B-grades on the shop. They're still excellent quality — the only difference is that they're missing enamel in one paw pad, like this:

What animals do you enjoy drawing the most? Which ones are easiest to draw and which ones are the hardest? Love your art btw!
Good question! I like drawing even-toed ungulates (esp. deer and goats), my brain kind of 'gets' how their faces/bodies work and their features are easy to exaggerate to neat effect.
The easiest animals to draw are housecats (maybe because I've lived with them my whole life and gazed long into their perfect faces).
For me the toughest animals to draw are canines of all kinds. Dogs, foxes, wolves. I put them in my work frequently because I like them and I need to, but it's really hard, every time. Comically difficult for me.
— ok side note but while answering this ask i have just learned that orcas are even-toed ungulates and it has me very fucked up — i didn't know where to cram this info but i can't be alone with it rn
the bottom right corner of this image from the wikipedia page on ungulates hit me like a flashbang

I'll be at FanX in Salt Lake City this week (Sept. 26-28), selling and signing prints. Say hi to me in the artist alley, I'd love to see you!
