Darksome Gifts & WhatNot
I have a few last events for 2025, both in-person and online. The online events in particular feature some sales and offers which are worth checking out. So take a look at what I have below, and keep checking back in the coming months, as there should be new updates coming to the site on a more regular basis (and as addressed below).
Darksome Craft Market – 10% Off
As I’ve done for the past two years, I’m participating in the online Darksome Craft Market this coming weekend. The actual market only runs Friday and Saturday, but I’m extending my sale through Sunday (just in case anyone forgets or looks at this e-mail late). With the code DARKSOME, you can get 10% off of your entire order. Plus, through the end of the year, I am keeping my Free Shipping offer (with orders over $35).

WhatNot Special & Commission Gifts
I often keep commissions open throughout the year, though I may be cutting back on the commission windows into next year. That said, this is my last week to get any commission requests in for a Holiday delivery. I can only take another 3 commissions on top of the list I have currently in.
If you’d like to get a commission for yourself or a loved one for the Holidays, please visit my website for pricing and simply reach out to the e-mail address for this mailing list with the subject line: COMMISSION.
Card-sized commissions are also available on Wednesday nights (7pm EST) during my WhatNot shows. There is also a vast selection of unclaimed original artworks on the site, as well as many of my fan-art prints which are not available on my Etsy.
Check out what I have listed, as something you may have had your eye on might still be available for purchase: https://www.whatnot.com/s/bSXenFhn
In fact, from December 10th through the 13th, WhatNot is hosting a special Holiday event which I am participating in. I’m looking to auction off some pieces as well as take commissions on the fly. So if you’re around on the 10th, consider stopping by. I always begin the show with a warm-up sketch which I auction off and then we go from there.
Returning(ish) to Blogging…
Well, not exactly, but I probably should be updating this blog space more regularly, especially considering I already update my Patreon (patreon.com/jmdesantis) and my newsletter on a consistent basis. I just grew a little tired of blogging about random topics every week, and felt it just took away from time to create and produce other works of mine.
But there’s still something to be said for regular updates, especially for those coming directly to my website. So, I’ll likely at least use this blog space to post about upcoming events, new products, and announcements about new work coming out on a more regular basis again. And with that, I plan to keep the new section below with a list of upcoming important dates and appearances.
Of course, my events page will always have an up-to-date listing of events and such, but for quick and repeated references, I’ll be including this in blog posts as well:
