Hi everyone! Thanks for being here this month! I’m super excited to share Issue 3 of my newsletter with you all!
NEW ARRIVAL
I’ve finally released “Let Sleeping Foxes Snooze,” another addition to my Autumn Harvest print collection – check it out at my print store! I’ve reduced many of my prices this month and also have a 20% sale going! Check it out, and tell others! T’is the season for holiday gift shopping, consider the gift of fine art prints! ⋆𐙚❅°⋆❆.ೃ࿔:
Have you already received a print? Leave a review! It’ll help others know what it’s like to have a piece from my collection!

FREE COLORING PAGE
And of course, the second coloring page in my coloring page series! Enjoy a warm cup of coffee in the morning and take part in a lighthearted and mindful activity like coloring this gentle woodland friend! Or…. foe?… I vote friend, but I’m not a rodent.

Fun fox facts! Did you know that a group of foxes is called a skulk? This means “to move in a stealthy or furtive manner,” or “to hide or conceal something (such as oneself) often out of cowardice or fear or with sinister intent.” Foxes also help reduce the transmission of Lyme disease! Ticks become infected when they host on rodents carrying bacteria Borrerlia burgdorferi. When foxes prey on small rodents such as mice or voles, they reduce the population of rodents carrying the bacteria. This reduces the rate of infection and population count of ticks, and in turn, reduces the transmission of Lyme disease to humans!
The Tiny Gallery needs YOU!
This is a fun project I thought we could start together – I got messages back from friends with pictures of completed coloring pages and thought it would be REALLY cool to showcase everyone’s colored-in coloring pages! So BEHOLD! THE TINY GALLERY HAS EMERGED!! All thanks to you! Special thanks to Norah (and Norah’s mom, Ussala) and Allison! (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶) I think they did a great job, don’t you?
Do YOU want to be part of the Tiny Gallery? Send a photo of your colored-in coloring page to tina.goparaju.art@gmail.com and YOU TOO can be featured alongside Norah and Allison! ⭑ Wowie!
COMING SOON!
Pet Portrait Services: Thanks to everyone’s help, I am FINALLY going to be able to open up my pet portrait services!! HOORAY!! I am tentatively booked for December (whaaaat?), but if anything changes I will announce any openings that I have available! In the meantime, feel free to take a look at my pet portrait services page to learn more! I am SO excited to have the opportunity to draw everyone’s furry (and feathered, and scaled… hehe) friends! ≽^• ˕ • ྀི≼ ❤︎ ૮ ․ ․ ྀིა It is one of the most wholesome activities I could possibly imagine doing as a new full time artist, and I am very grateful that it can be part of my work. Thank you to anyone who helped make it possible! Below are examples of past pet portraits that I’ve had the chance to work on.
Special thanks to Lucy and Molly (and their amazing people). Lucy and Molly were both such great dogs and are sorely missed.
Merch and Original Drawings: I’m in the process of testing some products out to sell as merch! I’m hoping to have some of my art printed onto everyday items like mugs, totes, phone cases, and potentially more! This is still a work in progress, but I’m hoping to have some listings available on Etsy in a few more weeks after a bit more quality testing and playing around with some designs. Stay tuned!
I am ALSO in the process of creating listings for my original drawings! These are the physical drawings that I make right out of my sketchbook, rather than the scanned copies of my work that I currently sell as prints. I’m looking forward to giving these pieces new homes and am excited to share more info on this in the coming days!
That’s all for now! Thanks for reading! ◝(ᵔᗜᵔ)◜ As usual, I’m so happy you stopped by! Have a wonderful November and take care!
~Tina
