Dark Bunny Sauces' artwork for Panda Pumpkinhead - a red panda with a jack'o'lantern stuck on it's head - bu @bluecomet5.bsky.social

Official Sauce Launch
-
Apple pie spice got stolen by the "pumpkin spice" crowd. Usually, it's just the mix of spices that calls to people. Dark Bunny Sauces went that step beyond.

Mais bon, pour toutes les commandes qui n'ont pas encore été expédiées (j'y suis en train de travailler!), il se pourrait bien qu'il y ait une petite surprise ou deux dans les boîtes! (Non, pas des œufs... ça serait... pas bon.)

And hey, with any of the orders still pending to be shipped out (I'm working on it!) There might be a small surprise or two in the boxes! (No, not eggs... that would be... bad.)

Nous avons préparé une surprise pour Pâques, mais nous avons pensé qu'il fallait vous en faire connaître.
Jusqu'à demain soir (lundi de Pâques) à minuit, profitez de 15% de réduction sur toutes vos commandes.
C'est tout! Joyeuses Pâques à tous!

We've hidden a surprise for Easter, but figure we should let people know.
Until tomorrow night (Easter Monday) at midnight, enjoy 15% off any orders. That's all! Happy Easter folks!

Damnit... creativity is striking, and you all know what that means...

Someone's gonna get (voluntarily) hurt. Tasty hurt, but still...

Absolutely it is. I like to have the artists' styles shine on the labels. But it never hurts to point out who does the work to make the sauces prettier.

Oh, and as proof of DBS's commitment to our artist friends:
darkbunny.ca/pages/friends
These are the people who help make us look and taste good

Also, check out about 2/3 of the way down if you need a true furry caffeine fix. You won't be disappointed.

Well, *almost* everything.
I'm realistic: I have made a few things that I never released becasue... yeah.

Absolutely!

With age: wisdom. And a lot of grey fur and aching joints. Or something like that.

I have been in the fandom way too long to turn my back on what makes it what it is.

Not forgotten: it is specifically reserved for you.
I am well aware that life happens to us all, so those sauces' labels have been intentionally left unfinished. :)

Avec tout ce tapage de l'utilisation de l'IA par les artistes et créateurs furry pour leurs œuvres et produits, SDB tient à clarifier les choses :

Nous n'utilisons aucune forme d'IA pour nos produits. Des recettes aux étiquettes : aucune IA.

Et en parlant d'art, il me manque quelques étiquettes…

With all of the hoohah regarding furry artists, crafters and such using AI for their artwork/products, DBS just wants to be clear:
We do not use AI of any sort for our products. From the recipes to the labels: no AI.
And speaking of artwork, I have a few labels needing some artwork... *nudge nudge*

How giant we talking here? ;)

We can hope, dream, and work towards it, eh?

All the best, my friend

And to you too :) All the hugs!

Yeah, I've been quiet and lurking. Dark bunnies do that.
But I want to wish everyone (yes, even you) a happy new year.

I'm willing to bet '25 hasn't been the best, but here's to having made it through, and to '26 being at least marginally better.

Last piece of news: Canada Post is back (sort of), so shipments will resume VERY soon! Thanks for your patience folks!

And reaching back to "ye old days", we're bringing back a limited run of Mad Dog number 5. This will be available at the Lucky Dog Social.
Also, simply because of the artist being the host, both versions of Spooked Sphynx will be available at the social as well!

It's almost time for the Lucky Dog Social, and in honour of that, we've opened the Dark Bunny Vault and pulled out a couple of things - some newer, some older.
Despite Bunny's Garden 2025 being out already, and 23 being on the shelf still, 24 is about to be finished - over a year of fermenting.

Oh, and the hairless kitty's name? Cornichon, of course.

Spooked Sphynx

And the amazing artwork? Kurenji: the person who is running the Lucky Dog Social again this year (You really should go!) www.kurenji.com/luckydog

Version 2 of the Sphynx (might get renamed in the future, who knows) is a sauce version! Yes, technically it’s a little more acidic, but think dill pickles in sauce form!
Both are available right now on the site.

Well, a few years back, someone jokingly said “Hey Feli, you should make pickles!” And so, I did! Version one of the Sphynx are just that – sliced, dill pickles with just a touch of spice. But then I went a step (leap?) further.

Oh! I almost forgot about another recent addition to the Dark Bunny lineup for 2025:
Spooked Sphynx! And just what is the Spooked Sphynx you ask? That is an excellent question! And only excellent people ask excellent questions.

Well, that would be tough... the biggest bottle of Beaver I have ever made is a 1 gallon jug. I got the bottle back but it doesn't fit most refrigerators well :P

Ohhhh.... not for Panda Pumpkinhead, but ... I will DEFINITELY keep you in mind :)

Also also... as a small followup, looking for bottle artwork for the Panda Pumpkinhead.

If you're interested, gimme a *ping*, *bing*, or other message notification noise.

If that happens: keep both! Give the extras away to your friends, family or enemies!
