About this project

So tonight I was so happy to have so many supporters, I was inspired to draw a new card and story, and so came to be Yang, The Fox of Flames! Add 3 dollars to your pledge today and get this new card added to your current rewards! The card will be given on the same day as your other reward dates! Thanks for making this a success! *Please note that this is a bonus card, not one included in the regular set! You must pledge towards the project to be able to order bonus cards ( be a backer) !
If you like hand drawn art pieces, and animals, then please come share Fox Fables art with me! These 5x5 Card Stock art pieces are small enough to carry with you, but large enough to set on a desk at work, or by your bed when you wake up in the morning. With a positive message on the back of each one, they are great stories for children, as well as adults. Their are 12 total, and now more rewards are available too! You can get a tote bag, of any of the 12 designs, or a custom card, with your own poetic story tailored to you on the back(if you donate 60 dollars or more). Larger prints are available as well.
About The Project
Hello everyone, my name is Destiny Nowicki, I am a junior college student majoring in advertising at Kent State University. For a hobby, I love drawing animals, my favorite to draw was foxes ,since I have a busy agenda as a college student, many times the only chance I get to draw is between classes. I draw digitally, on a drawing tablet using Photoshop and Sai as a tool to bring my artwork to life. One day as I was looking at my artwork, I realized that each one had a story when I created them, but I had never written it down. When I tried to write down these stories, at first, I had a difficult time. I decided to write them as poems, which made me feel less pressured, and the words seemed to come naturally as I let each story unfold. Once I wrote one story down, others followed , and before I knew it, I had written down stories for each of the foxes I had drawn, and really wanted to share these stories and illustrations with others. Each story incorporated a life lesson that I had struggled with, or helped others deal with in the past, and the resolutions that came from each difficult moment. I cherished that I could tell others these stories about through these cards. I told my mother about my idea and she was thrilled, I told her all about my idea but that I could not think of a name for it. She then responded that I should call it fox fables, since my short stories were about animals and taught life lessons, and so the name stuck. My goal was simply to make these card decks come to life, be able to share them with others at conventions within my community, and the best help I could as for was from the people around me.
Risks and challenges
Printing these out front and back at a local print shop near me and cutting them carefully to the right size is time consuming, That's why I gave myself at least a month in advance just in case I need extra time to complete things, better safe then sorry!
