Hey kids and kittens!
     It has been a crazy month and it's only getting crazier the further the year goes on. I have so much to update on and never time to begin.
      To start, you can now follow me on another platform for purchasing!
Threadless (check out in my dropdown Shops/Threadless Shop)
     I am excited to work on expanding my platform with Threadless! I was able to meet the VP and many other amazing companies at Licensing Expo this past week in Las Vegas and I am PUMPED to keep going and further my business with these amazing companies in the further months!
With Threadless, I am able to grow my business and check off my goals to have skateboards in my shops!
To further express my love for Threadless, I can now make it an option for every purchase you make to my Thread page, you will also be donating to organizations I connect my work to. This is such a refreshing relief that I can help organizations that focus on matters that I hold dear like mental health, suicide prevention, animal cruelty prevention, LGBTQIA+ awareness and more. <3 <3 <3
     Now to get into personal matters, lately I've been behind on pushing for more material to put out there. I decided to practice what I preach and go back to therapy. I was finding some personal struggles within me and understanding that past trauma and current events have put me in a mental place where I am in a great place, but I want to build closure and close the chapter for good. Things will always be there and struggle will creep up on me from time to time, but as long as I work on myself I know I can be better for myself to create.
     So take this as a sign that if something has been taking up space in your life, find your people. A family member, a friend, a councilor, doctor, teacher, mentor, partner, etc. Do for you what you would help to do for others. Be your own hero in the story. <3
Don't lose sight of you, kid!
Signing off with a tasty lick of A Night at the Roxbury soundtrack!

If you're in the Bass Lake, CA, please go to my calendar in Artist/Appearance section. I will be doing a pop-up for their Arts and Music event from June 6th - 8th from 10am - 5 pm. Make sure to save it in your calendar and enjoy the summer!

Hey kids and kittens!
It's been a long time. I'm sure we all have been through a lot since I last wrote on this blog.
Man has it been a steamroller, and still is as we stand. Well let me update you all on what's been going on since I last updated you guys!
- I stopped all promotions for a few years during Fall 2018 to Spring 2021 because I decided to focus on my degree and finish Art School. I was fortunate to have finished my degree during the hellish time of our lives, but it only became harder after I was done. The world was closed, chaotic, and nothing made sense to me. That didn't mean quit though! It just meant figure out your next story. After I finished in 2021, I needed to figure myself out, figure out D. Kerper Arts and figure out my next step. I had changed, my art had changed and life was different for me. So my website went from black to blue, my logo (Porcelain Doll) was remaining until I finally tell her story, and my style was a little more than just rough sketches. I put more color in my work and started stepping deeper into creepier territory without losing myself. It's been quite fun!
- In 2023 I was invited to be part of Knott's Berry Farm's Boysenberry Festival, where my name started to grow more. I have stayed with their Tied Up in Knotts and Into the Fog art shows since 2023 and I can't express how grateful I am.
- ALSO in 2023 I was accepted by Bird Dog Arts Gallery in Tejon Ranch Outlets as one of the artists. The partnership of having them be my first consignment location has been more than words can express. You can STILL today buy a majority of my stickers, buttons, enamel pins, patches and prints in their Gallery.

This is just a dash of everything that has been happening.. but I know there is so much to catch up on!

But for now... LATEST NEWS!
I have updated my full calendar of where to find me throughout the YEAR! If you are from the Northern California region, you will now be able to purchase from me as I make my appearance in San Luis Obispo, Alameda, Bass Lake and San Jose. I am highly excited to visit the Winchester House for the FIRST TIME (I know I'm a California girl and NEVER BEEN!)
I will take on so much to make D. Kerper Arts more of my priority and less of a "side hustle". I love my characters and the silly quacks in my head that want to come out. But most of all, I am appreciative of all of you who find meaning in my work.

For now, this is everything I have. I will keep everyone updated as I have more news to come!
Thank you for your following and love!

Hey kiddies!
     At this point, work is still in session and school is out. Many of you are parents planning your summer vacations, while the rest of you college kids are looking for some wild events. LOOK NO FURTHER! I have some line-ups on my events calendar and will have more to come when the weeks get closer.
     If a majority of you vacation in Los Angeles (preferably the Hollywood area), be sure to list on your must see the "Beetle House" located on Hollywood Blvd. The Beetle House is a tribute to Tim Burton, himself. No he is not at all affliated with this restaurant/bar but it is an honor to say that my 2 tribute pieces "Recently Deceased (Burton Tribute)" and "Stain Boy (Burton Tribute)" are both displayed at the Beetle House until August! Make your reservations now and be sure to #dkerperarts or tag DKerper Arts on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook!
     If you're a baseball and/or Simpsons fan in Fresno, there may be a show for you. June 29 at Chukchansi Stadium, WyseFools will be hosting an all Simpsons themed art show during the Fresno Grizzlies baseball game. I will be holding my own booth during the game with a special Simpsons Tribute deal only being sold during this event. And once I'm out, I'm out. More details to come!! Thank you Vendor Village for asking me to be part of this event!
     And lastly, I'm very honored to be a part of the Fresno Skateboard Salvage group to help benefit quality new gear and boards for kids by donating a piece of work to help raise money. I'd like to thank Rodney Rodriguez for having me be a part of this awesome event!!! I also have some ideas in the works to partner with Rodney in the future months to come, more to come soon!!

Thanks to everyone for your support and love!! Have a safe and awesome Summer 2017!!!

Hey everyone!
     It's been quite awhile since I've posted anything lately. So much has been happening in my journey through art, let me tell you.
     I've been experimenting with other options of materials  lately, trying on what I can do to better myself through my work and having a better understanding of my own visuals of it. Through personal experiences, trials n' errors, and just everything happening in the world... I mostly wanted to figure out the topic of my pieces. I have lacked on that lately when it came to story telling and so forth.

So without further ado, I like to introduce the newest project I am working on and have been planning for about a year....

The Sweet Temptation Pack!

I have been inspired by old intermission ads, Grease (Pink Ladies/T-Birds), and the 90s ABC/Disney cartoon "Recess" a lot in this series I have be working so hard on. I wanted to make a more modern and vintage mixed appeal to some of these characters. As many know, I am obsessed with classic films, old theaters, and vintage nostalgia to the point where I feel I was born at the wrong place and at the wrong time. So bringing more of this back, I had hopes to have more fun with this project and looking forward to bringing MORE characters in the weeks/months along. For now, you can personally buy these sticker packs of 4 at Grizzly Fest 2017 on April 29 at Chukchansi Park in Downtown Fresno, afterwards I will be holding these at my studio in Broadway Studios until further notice.

     I know so many of you have patiently waited for new content and things to happen, like the coffee table book I've been working on. Didn't realize writing a book would be so difficult. So that will be another continued project and HOPEFULLY out this year.

     Another question I've been getting, "Danielle, why aren't you selling this on Etsy??" and honestly, Etsy has been a roller coaster to keep up with on my own. I will be posting stickers and so forth that is in my studio onto Etsy soon, I'm looking at mid-May being MORE updated for you all.

     I would like to thank you all for your patience and guidance through all of this. I have been working on other projects that are more associated with galleries and personal topics. I can't believe I am celebrating 2 years of D. Kerper Arts and I'm still hustling through it all. Thank you all again, and keep going! Never know what will hit you!

Hey everyone!!!
     Can you believe it!! I finally have my new updated website. More content and more art to share. It has been a crazy couple of months. I must say, I am sorry for the lack of posts as I have been shooting for shows like crazy! Let me tell ya, Long Beach Comic Con was amazing!!! I got to meet amazing independent artists and celebrities. Soak up a lot of knowledge and wisdom on behalf of Tad Stones (Creator of Darkwing Duck). Yes, you read it right... I had a chance to meet and talk with Tad Stones. Along side that I made some amazing new friends and local Long Beach creators who gave me the ins and outs of what I can expect out of this big girl shows.
     Aside from that, I have some big news. I have a studio space FINALLY in collaboration with an amazing local artist and friend, Darren Hurst. Please be sure to check us out ever first Thursday of the month during the year of 2017 at Broadway Studios in Fresno. For location, go to contacts to find the address and Studio #.
    Things have been hard to keep up with these days, as I have more art, photo gigs, and soon come more cakes to adhere to. So please keep in touch through Facebook.com/DKerperArts and please check back on here for more cool and amazing things to happen in 2017!!!!
Happy New Years everyone!!!
