This is so important! Once you have a problem it takes way more work to fix than it would have taken to prevent 😔

We're rebranding, with a new logo and business cards from @whitefoxdesigns.net! They were super easy to work with and I highly recommend them for your next design project. Stickers, business cards, and a new website design to follow soon!

Currently codenamed "Sandman", he'll be a 5ft tall wolf #plushie made of HQ fur and will come with a few accesories. Giving myself lots of time to work on this one!

Progress slowly continues on the expie cosplay, but in the meantime I have decided what my donation for @ane.boston's 2027 charity auction will be! I got giften a ton of grey fur which I am going to use to make an OC from @wingleafworkshop.bsky.social's 5ft anthro plushie pattern #furry #furryart

You can try laying it on your print bed and heating it up to give gentle heat from below if the sun wont cooperate (but it might not penetrate thru to the temple portion)

Darker Horse Art @darkerhorse.art · 01/08/2026

Thats my current plan actually! Need to come up with an easy way to 3d print them is all, or maybe just print stickers

000

Darker Horse Art @darkerhorse.art · 01/08/2026

No really, I wanna 3d print little charms to give out at cons and "fent syringe" was a candidate lol. Cons probably won't like that one though

Progress on the #expie #cosplay! The head is 90% done, just needs the nose, 3rd spike, and some detailing! Got started on the paws using @teacuplion.bsky.social's sockpaw pattern. #fursuitmaker #fursuit #casualtiesunknown

I've made a mistake but realized it in time for Pride Month! I never tagged this sticker as a sticker, so it wasnt showing up on my Stickers page 😩 which explains why they were only selling in person. You can get your own in time for pride here: darkerhorse.art/products/pro... #queerart #pride

In a world of AI slop and platform enshittification, the best we can do as artists is uplift each other. I hope my human words managed to reach you through all that noise.

Darker Horse Art @darkerhorse.art · 13/06/2026

If you made it this far and toss me a follow, I promise to use every fiber left in me to continue to make art that is beautiful, accessible, authentic, and antiauthoritarian for you. I'm so crushed by the need to always be posting when I'd rather be making, so even sharing this thread is a gift.

Darker Horse Art @darkerhorse.art · 13/06/2026

In 2025 I attended and supported six in-person vendor events that centered small artists like me in our community. I collaborated with other small makers, I attended makerspaces, I traded, I made long term friends.

Darker Horse Art @darkerhorse.art · 13/06/2026

I make #stickers, #resinart, #linoprints, 3d models and #3dprints, #fursuits, #dice, #pronounpins, #enamelpins, and more. I dont always have everything in my online store because I am a disabled part time artist (I need to have a stable job for health insurance) and its a lot to keep up with.

Darker Horse Art @darkerhorse.art · 13/06/2026

A little more about me and what I do. Last year, I donated $1590 from my sales across 4 charities. The Trevor Project, Trans Lifeline, Red Cross and CHIRLA. This year I will continue that trend. I want my art to have a purpose and reach in this world beyond just me.

Tried my hand at a real #linocut linoleum block. My hands were sore after, but the detail is great. I think I will stick to speedycarve for most cuts 😅 Still getting the hand of sharpening my tools.
