Earth Day Banner

Hey jammers! Today's brand new nonmember (thank Zios!) den item is the Earth Day Banner, sold in Jam Mart Furniture.
I like these even banners, they make great den decorations. Just think, you collect these over the years and your time on AJ is chronicled by the banners hanging in your home.
Oh, and here are Saturday's giveaway results!
I'm so sorry for bad mic quality, I'm working on a happy medium between loud and quiet (I'm a shy and quiet person, this is difficult).

As hinted at yesterday, there is an AJS art project beginning!
So what's the art project? Taking lines of the song and Animal Jamming them! Some of the most fitting art will be posted in the song's instrumental parts. What are some ideas for artwork?

dancing (panda) bears,
painted (fairy) wings,
horses prance through a silver storm...

You get the idea! ^.^ Simply send submissions to animaljamspirit@gmail.com, I'll try to put as many pieces in the video as possible. Also, there is new post on the AJHQ Daily Explorer!
You could also use non-toxic paint, no googly eyes, and leave the painted rocks outdoors, in places that people would see them. Wouldn't that just brighten up their day?

Tomorrow we shall dwell on paradise...

Hey jammers! Today's brand new item is another outdoor den game. Check by my den to try out the Tetherball (sold in furniture shop). 
Before the Tunnel Town sneak peek I have a Spirit Mail episode. ^.^ Thank you so much for all the JAGs you send! I may have spoken a not-so-secret glitch in there. Shhhhh... No telling!
I tried to add a little more commentary, and I also gave some hints on the upcoming AJS art project. As you might have heard, thenuts so generously donated a River Race game for the den!

For those who have been missing the game, I hope you like this! Now, Tunnel Town! Some jammers may have received this advertisement on Animal Jam (in your mailbox, via JAG).

It's confirmed, yet again, that the Canadian jammers are the lucky ones. Still, footclan was kind enough to send in a few screenshots for us to look at. Here is the loading screen...
 
Goals that you are supposed to achieve!
A neat, compact marketplace!
The farm market, notice the Animal-Jamy art!

The fields where you grow tasty foods!

And finally, the bunnies that I presume live in your burrow...
To learn more about Tunnel Town be sure to check out www.tunneltown.com! Finally, last bit of news, AJHQ has done some more Sidekix plush advertisments on the Daily Explorer.
It seems like you have a pretty good chance of getting a rare code, but my the odds be ever in your favor. Hehe... Also, here is the little sketch RavenPaw ordered. Hope you like it!
I wasn't sure what you meant, but I tried! If you'd like to request a drawing of your animal (or ponysona) click here. Happy jamming!

Tuxedo + Art Commissions

*LAST DAY*

Hey jammers! Today's new item is very interesting, and a bit abstract with Jamaa's everyday life, but... Hmm... I dunno...
 You can buy the Tuxedo Jacket in the clothing orb of Epic Wonders. No matter how human it is, what a neat concept! Very well thought out. Here's a fun outfit you can make (looks pawsome on penguins).
The Viking Hat is just one of the rares being offered in the giveaway right now! In other news, an article about the Graham's joke contest winner. I must admit, this is pretty funny! ^.^
Now, the random topic of this post! I'm going to start doing little art commissions for Animal Jam or MLP. Instead of money though, I do artwork for a rare in Jamaa. Does that sound interesting?
Pencil or ink designs for small rares...
(ex - rc car, fox hat)


Casual digital art for medium rares...
(ex - freedom wings)
And huge digital art projects for big rares...
(ex - spike, weather cloud, ect.)
Bigger projects take longer and are a ton of work. ^.^' I was putting this out there because I would love inspiration, and I thought you guys might want personalized profile pictures for your Blogger, Chatroll, Facebook, Google+, or YouTube accounts. I can try out any animal art style, click here to see more examples!

To place an order you can...
leave a comment here
mail me a Jam-a-Gram (snowyclaw)
or send me an email (animaljamspirit@gmail.com)

If you'd like to, leave your username, what you'd like me to draw, and what rare you would offer. I'll tell you what size art I'd do, and then you confirm? I would post my art here on AJS and you could send the rare if you want. :)

What do you think jammers? Too crazy? Anyhoo, happy jamming!

Phantoms and Sidekix

Hey jammers! Today's new item is another (member) game, a tree shaped Bean Bag Toss sold in Jam Mart Furniture!
A tree is perfect for Earth Day I guess. ^.^ I guess all of these games are appreciate-the-outdoors kinds of games, don't you think? I wish one of them was nonmember though! Anyhoo, as promised...
Picture from lokithorrrrr.
Wacky, huh? You wouldn't believe where it's from... Tunnel Town!
It's interesting a small app would get more phantom action than Jamaa, but, as AJHQ has said, adventure is on its way!
In other news, there are now rare Sidekix plushies!
As the message says, a few rare Sidekix plushies are sent out with bonus gifts! In addition to your in-game plushie you are awarded 1,000 gems, a week of Animal Jam membership, and
EVERY OTHER IN-GAME PLUSHIE AVAILABLE.
Mia776 was lucky enough to get one of these rare plushies!
More incentive to buy one of those adorable critters I guess. :P As you can see, unsold, out-of-game plushies are given in-game to anticipate when all of those guys are sold on AJ Outfitters.
There is also a new post on the Daily Explorer!
 And bad news, percentages in the Webby Awards are falling!
Be sure to vote, and don't forget to tell your parents, your friends, your siblings; ask everyone you can! It's just one way we can show AJHQ support and love for our little home away from home.
Happy jamming!

Come back tomorrow for some artsy opportunities. . .

Hey jammers! Before I get to the video, today's new den item is the Horseshoe Set! You can buy one in Jam Mart Furniture.
 If you change "colors" you can buy horseshoes to decorate the set.
Also, keep getting friends and family voting for Animal Jam at the Webby's (click here)! Now, or the video! This is just a simple, step by step explanation of the Daily Explorer News Crew.

Please listen to the first part at least, it explains why I have a camera badge on my name tag (I get that question a lot '^.^). I hope this was helpful jammers, leave a comment on what questions you'd like answered next (as long as it is a bit related to Jamaa!).

 Be sure to check back on the blog tomorrow for an interesting picture, one possibly foreshadowing quests and adventure...
