Feral art of despair, escapism, and survival
Hello! My name's Dana, and I'm an artist based in France who specializes in dark beasts and mythical creatures. I have been a vendor since 2017 at events all over the world, including Australia, the United States, the UK, Austria, Belgium, Germany, Spain, Sweden, and France (of course). My merchandise focuses on unique yet subtle designs on quality products, but I also make small items that can be enjoyed on any budget.One of the biggest compliments I get is when someone discovers something delightfully dark at my booth, and happily shouts, "I can actually wear this in public!"Thank you for taking the time to review my portfolio and for considering me for your event.
I can create an inviting shopping experience with a table that is ≥ 180cm wide within ≥ 200cm wide space. That said, with my expanding offerings, I can greatly improve the shopping experience with a wider table (≥ 250cm within ≥ 300cm space).I generally do not need electric as I supply my own batteries and lights.
Please enjoy this video walk-through of my table setup at NordicFuzzCon 2026. Total table width used is ~250cm.

Details are important to me! I aim to ensure that customers can clearly understand what's available and how much it costs through my large price labels. I add character art to my table to make the shopping experience fun and engaging for customers.

Below are additional photos of my table at my previous events (chronologically ordered with most recent first).
I am very comfortable sharing my products in outdoor events under a tent!
Here's some examples...
My current price range is from €4 for a sticker to €60 for a wall scroll.
Most of my items fall within €20-40.I care about quality and durability, which pushes some of my items into higher price ranges; However, it's important to me to have something to offer everyone, so I make sure to have smaller and more affordable items available (such as postcards and pins).

Each one is individually numbered, and collectors receive an invitation to a Discord server where they can collect and trade with others.
Below are other examples of my work, some of which are being used for new merchandise currently in production.
At some events, I offer custom drawing commissions. I typically offer drawings of animals, mythical beasts, and anthropomorphic characters.
Name: Dana Teixeira (née Larson)
Business/Trading as: Abandon Ambition
Main contact: zelaphas@gmail.com
"Abandon Ambition" is an expression of despair following the events of the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, the Covid-19 pandemic and consequent lockdowns, increasing temperatures and destructive weather caused by climate change... there are many reasons to lose hope, and consequently lose ambition, when you're unsure of what's coming next and how it'll disrupt your plans.However, despite all this, there are still reasons to celebrate the time which we have now. And, without ambition, there are only passions, interests, and the desire to try new things and discover new means of self expression. Without a goal or a deadline, without a vision for the future, I can pay intense attention to the nature that surrounds me and survives in the face of environmental destruction, and how animals offer a reflection of our own humanity.When I abandon ambition, I express despair, but also creativity. Without the ambition for something large and specific and disruptable, I have more freedom to explore art in many forms and share it with the world, enjoying smaller goals and exploring larger ideas along the way.
