Thank you!I am so grateful to connect with you! Sharing my artistic designs and imagination with people who have genuine interest in my ideas and skills is humbling and honoring to me. Who am I to warrant any interest from others in what I do? There are a lot better artists out there than me, but I am grateful to consider myself a professional artist among them, because even if some people can produce better detail or more impressive art, no one else will have the same perspective or ideas that I can provide. That is something I hope you can appreciate about yourself as well. No one can do things exactly like you do. You have a certain set of experiences, skills, and perspectives that combine into ideas and creativity that is uniquely you, and that is something that always has the potential to provide value and insight that the world needs. Never look down on yourself for not being "as good" as someone else at something. The world would be boring if everyone had exactly the same level of skill or the same ideas and perspectives. The differences are what make a greater variety of beauty and innovation in any category of skills. Practice your skills and passion for what interests you with confidence, because it will likely be exactly what someone somewhere is looking for that no one else can provide. New Designs are Available!I have been super busy, but some of that time has been creating some new designs! If you have been on my social media pages or websites, you may have noticed them. It took me a bit longer to get to emailing about it (sorry!). Here are the latest designs available on both my main shop and Redbubble on many different products! JAPAN COLLECTION These Sakura (さくら) designs are a bit deceptive, because I cannot take credit for drawing them. They are actually just photographs that have been stylized. When I was in Japan, I had the opportunity to take lots of photos of Sakura blossoms in the spring, and I played with the creative mode on my camera, and these are a couple of the photos that resulted! I hope you enjoy them. There are other modified variations with Japanese さくら text on them for shirts and accessories on Redbubble. FAITH BASED ART These leafy designs are also a mix of modified photos and some 3D modeling (the cross). I have a few different variations of each one, the Autumn theme and the Christmas theme, including a pun version of each saying, "The Lord Will Never Leaf You." If you prefer a little light pun humor in these faith based designs, please check those out! See how they fit on different clothes and accessories here! This last design is my most recent creation. I created this because God put it on my heart to remind people to keep Israel in prayer, as we are instructed to do in Psalm 122:6. It is not only Israel, though, it is important to pray for everyone, including those who are enemies of Israel and the USA, and even our own friends, family, and enemies. The fact is, God created all people and regardless of how terrible people can be to one another, each one is still deeply loved by God and Jesus gave the ultimate sacrifice to save them all, if they are willing. Whether you agree with this sentiment or not, please just consider this a reminder to love others the way God loves you, and treat others with compassion. The conflicts and horrors in the world are hard on everyone, so don't forget to offer grace to everyone. This design is available with a dark (midnight) background, and a light background that is peach/pink. You can see both variations on my main store and for clothes and accessories on Redbubble. Don't Forget Sale Dates!Last thing before you go! November has a lot of sale dates where prices will be reduced for different products. Here is a sneak peak into the sale dates for clothing and accessories on REDBUBBLE! Have one of my designs already?I would love it if you would share a review or comment about what you purchased or a gift you were given and what you love about it! It really helps others to know what products are good quality and which designs deserve more attention. If you don't mind writing a testimony about what you enjoy from my designs or website, I may share your comments on the website itself for others to read! Please just reply to this email with the comments you'd like to share, and include a photo to put with your statement! It can be of you or of the item or design you love. Thank you so much! Please reply back to me and let me know your thoughts and ideas! I always want to know how to improve your experience and provide what interests you most! Sincerely, Dana Yost |

I’m a 2D & 3D digital artist creating work for games, film, and print-on-demand products—and I’m building my first video game as a solo indie developer. My work spans concept art, 3D modeling (texturing & lighting), animation, and game development, with a strong love for imaginative worlds. You’ll often see themes like fantasy (dragons, knights, wizards, elves), foxes (objectively perfect creatures), Japan (I lived there for four years and hold a BA in Japanese), and Christian art (yes—Jesus is awesome). I also explore new ideas and styles whenever inspiration strikes. 📬 What you’ll get in my email newsletter: ○ Early previews of new artwork and designs ○ Behind-the-scenes looks at my creative process ○ Game dev progress updates (art, systems, wins & struggles) ○ First access to new print-on-demand products and releases If you enjoy watching art and games take shape from the ground up, you’ll feel right at home here. 👉 View my portfolio: https://reynart.artstation.com/ 👉 Join the email list for insider updates and progress snapshots
BLOG ART PRINTS ARTIST PORTFOLIO Time to Pivot Hello, it's me, Dana! Sorry it's been so long since I last wrote to you. I wanted to send a quick update to explain the long silence and share what’s changing moving forward. Over the past year, life has been full in ways that required my full attention—moving, getting married, health issues, car trouble, job changes, and the general process of re-stabilizing after a lot of transition. During that time, my creative work didn’t disappear, but it...
