And whooo but Lady Jaffa Cake šš
The subject of @danbanstudio ās annual Historical Guinea Pig Portrait this year is none other than precious little Jaffs who came to live with us earlier this year. She is officially part of the family now with her very own portrait to be added to the gallery!
Apparently you all voted to depict her as Lady Greensleeves after our big @greensleevesproject documentary last year, and I cannot begin to express how much you all chose correctly.

My concept sketch for King Henry VIII as a guinea pig, because of course heād be a chunky ginger rodent š§”
Alas he did not get chosen in the poll to be the official oil painted portrait this year, but I sketched him anyway!!!!

One day we will actually take a dance class but for now we will just pretend like we know what weāre doing šš»šŗš»
Being a photog means you donāt end up with a lot of pictures of yourself but fear not, the fit slayed. I found this incredible blazer at a thrift store in the UK for only Ā£50!!! Sometimes you stumble upon the most extraordinary things. And then leave the store. And then think about it all the next day. And then go back to get it.
To give it a little more pizzazz, I sewed gold beading to the centers of the poppies (and some edges of the suit), and added flowers to the cuffs

Select guinea pig prints are now available through the DFTBA store! @bernadettebanner and I have been collaborating with @DFTBArecords to design and ethically-source merch for the channel, of course including prints of the guinea pig art hanging in the sewing studio.
We picked our three favorites for this collection; Lord Cesario, Piggy Poppins, and Marie Pigtionette. Potentially more available in future if the people demand.
Link in bio for the pig prints, more merch available on the @DFTBArecords store (I also designed the totes). DFTBA was founded by Vlogbrothers to help support independent creators like our team. šš
