I'm Denise, an animal artist based in London. My ancient but sturdy Epson fine art printer coughed and turned up its toes a week ago. It's the end of an era for me. It's done a fabulous job for many years, turning out fine art prints and cards that have traveled to homes all over the world. I need to replace it but sadly, due to ill health, we are now a one income family and my budget doesn't stretch that far.
So I'm reaching out to you for help and in return I have some lovely animal themed rewards, including some exclusive things you won't find anywhere else. Two unique t-shirt designs and a new print available exclusively through this campaign. Your involvement in this journey means the world to me, and I can't wait to share these special gifts as a token of my gratitude.
Black Panther Open Edition Print
A new open edition print available exclusively through this campaign. Created from my watercolour painting of a black jaguar. I wanted her to be red under all her black fur, so that she would glow! Printed on A3 fine art paper using archival inks and shipped carefully wrapped in tissue and rolled in a strong tube to protect her. The prints will ship in September.
Exclusive T-shirts
Two t-shirts available exclusively through this campaign. A unisex t-shirt that feels soft and light with just the right amount of stretch, 100% ring-spun cotton.
Black And Proud: So called because black cats are so often overlooked in rescue centres. Black cats are beautiful, truly they are the domestic panther in our homes. My rescue boy Harry posed for this painting and it became a limited edition print and now an exclusive t-shirt.
Martini: An illustration of a border terrier balancing a martini glass on his nose. Some dogs just seem to have a magic touch with nose balancing! This sketch is based on a friends dog. (He was balancing a bone not a martini - just in case you were wondering!)

Highlights
See all activity43About The Printer
My old printer was an epson 3880. It did excellent service for many years. I guess the end had to come eventually. The newer version is an Epson SureColor SC-P900. If you're wondering why these machines are so expensive, they are designed for professional quality fine art printing on heavier papers using pigmented inks instead of the more usual dye based inks. Sadly, due to ill health, we are now a one income household, making expensive items like a replacement printer so much harder to afford!
How To Get The Prints
Black Panther or The Musical Collection: Pay for the reward and I will ship them to you in September, after I have set up the new printer. You don't need to do anything other than make your purchase.
The Two For One Prints. Pay for the reward and choose which two prints you'd like from my print shop. I will email you to find out which two you'd like. Or you can email me your choice. I will ship these in September, after I have set up the new printer.
Commission A Painting
If you'd like a special painting created for you, either a watercolour painting or an oil painting, I will need photos from you of the fur kid you'd like me to paint. Once you have bought the reward you'll be on my painting list, and I'll contact you for your photos and we can chat about the painting.
Are My Photos Good Enough?
Photos need to be of
good quality and show the sitter's face and eyes in good light. If you
aren't sure and you'd like to chat about them, or if you'd like a
painting of something less domestic, like a hare, a sheep, or a
particular bird, contact me
and me we can chat about it. :-)
