The Early Days: A Fantasy Art Store


Ivy and Bat LLC started as a fantasy art store, showcasing the commercial art of Tabz Jones. Her work featured imaginative characters and scenes, often inspired by fantasy and pop culture. The store became a destination for fans of her art, offering prints, merchandise, and licensing opportunities. Tabz’s commercial art was the heart of the business, and her unique style attracted a dedicated following.


The store’s focus on fantasy art allowed Tabz to build a strong brand identity. Customers appreciated the detailed, vibrant artwork and the way it captured the spirit of fantasy worlds. Licensing deals helped expand the reach of her art, placing it on various products and media. This phase of Ivy and Bat LLC was marked by steady growth and a clear creative direction.


Shifting Focus: From Art Licensing to Music and Virtual Performers


As the creative landscape changed, so did the vision for Ivy and Bat LLC. Tabz Jones began to explore her passion for music and digital performance, leading to a gradual shift away from commercial art licensing. The company’s focus moved toward the music she writes and the virtual performers she creates.


This new direction introduced characters like Ivy Bat, Sugar Zone, and Kandii Kline—virtual performers who blend music, storytelling, and digital art. These performers are not just avatars; they represent a new way to connect with audiences through immersive experiences. The music and personalities behind these virtual acts bring fresh energy and innovation to Ivy and Bat LLC.


The decision to focus on music and virtual performers was driven by several factors:


  • Creative fulfillment: Tabz wanted to express herself through music and explore new storytelling methods.

  • Audience engagement: Virtual performers offer interactive and multimedia experiences that resonate with today’s digital audiences.

  • Market trends: The rise of virtual artists and digital music platforms opened new opportunities for growth.


Moving Commercial Art to a Personal Platform


With the company’s focus shifting, the commercial art previously central to Ivy and Bat LLC found a new home. Tabz Jones moved her commercial art to her personal website, allowing her to maintain a dedicated space for her artwork and licensing without conflicting with the company’s new direction.


This move benefits both the artist and the company:


  • Clear branding: Ivy and Bat LLC can fully embrace its musical and virtual performer identity.

  • Focused audiences: Fans of Tabz’s art can find her work easily on her personal site, while music fans engage with the company’s new projects.

  • Creative freedom: Tabz can continue to develop her art independently, exploring new styles and projects.


The Virtual Performers: Ivy Bat, Sugar Zone, and Kandii Kline


The virtual performers created by Tabz Jones are at the core of Ivy and Bat LLC’s new identity. Each performer has a distinct style and musical genre, offering diverse experiences for fans.


  • Ivy Bat: The flagship virtual performer, Ivy Bat combines Symphonic Metal and classic rock n roll with Pagan and Witchcraft centered themes. Her music explores themes of identity, spirituality and technology and how those concepts can be blended moving forward.

  • Sugar Zone: Known for upbeat pop and catchy melodies, Sugar Zone brings a playful and energetic vibe to the lineup.

  • Kandii Kline: With a unapologetic attitude and rebellious lyrics, Kandii Kline offers an electrifying soundtrack for outsiders, night owls, and anyone ready to turn heartbreak into a dancefloor anthem.


These virtual performers are more than just music acts. They represent a blend of art, technology, and storytelling that allows fans to connect on multiple levels. Interactive social media content, visual art and merch, and a strong musical foundation all contribute to a rich fan experience.


Looking Ahead: A Positive Future for Ivy and Bat LLC


The evolution of Ivy and Bat LLC reflects a willingness to adapt and innovate. By embracing music and virtual performers, the company is positioned to grow in exciting new directions. The future looks promising for several reasons:


  • Expanding audience: Virtual performers attract diverse fans across music, gaming, and digital art communities.

  • Creative experimentation: The company can explore new formats in the future like virtual concerts, collaborations, and multimedia projects.

  • Technology integration: Advances in virtual reality, AI, and digital platforms offer tools to enhance performances and fan engagement.
