Good morning Earth Walkers! Afternoon maybe? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here we are with a new shop update, one that I am quite passionate about, simply because this time, it is all about Fantastic & Magical Creatures! That means it involves a few of my favorite imaginary beasts like the Mischievous Jackalope and the Rising Phoenix, not to mention a few Horned Ones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of horns, this is actually the point where it all started. I was lost on Netflix – like you do on a rainy day – and I stumbled upon an animated show named “Hilda”. I know, it’s probably meant to be for kids, but it’s just so adorable \u2665 Plus the Elves are hilarious, and the story touches on environmental and ecological issues, which I appreciated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Icing on the cake, the show clearly has an animist flavor and it’s always a real treat for me when animism is brought to the table in one way or another. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, why was I talking about horns again? Oh, it’s because of one particular character in the series: Twig, Hilda’s companion Deerfox. Yep, you got it right, it’s a Fox . With Deer Antlers on the top of his head. And I loved him so much that I had to draw and burn my own version of a Deerfox while binge-watching the episodes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then I created a Deerwolf, and a Horned Owl, and I sketched a Jackalope under a Crescent Moon… A few hours later, I ended up with a collection of Fantastic Creatures on the coffee table next to me. I had my theme for the next shop update. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
