It's a rarity to wish an artcow tries to be 'cute' with their naming conventions - in this case, s/he could've easily dispensed with subtlety and proclaimed her/himself to be 'JenFur' and be a furry artcow instead. At least then, it would be mildly amusing to see another fur artcow make a mockery of art. Though the universe is rarely so kind.
Makes me feel ashamed of being from western Canada. I would have thought for sure that this kind of degeneracy would only be found in Quebec. Do we know what his deadname is so we can deadname him

Oh wow. I thought this was a troll comic it was so... unique. The art improved some since last I saw it on a bad web comics site, so I guess that's something.

I thought so too. When I first saw Kengle I thought he was her until I saw more about him. Jen's been at this for decades though and has pages going back to the early 2000s. JEnn won't stick with a page too long and will abandon tripods and comic spaces. I think they just sort of forget.
I think this video sort of sums up their feeling on lolcow status
I wouldn't classify Jenffer as being severely retarded. They know exactly what is going on and I have seen them on cam shut down someone being a ween to them back in the tinychat days. They are also able to hold a conversation in real time. Like you can be nice with them and they will b nice with you, but they know when someone is just blatantly being a dick to them in a trollface sorta way. Their communication isn't the best, but I've spoke with a mod about managing our retards flailing for attention if they show up. Jenffer has been around this community for years and have carried themselves well.
tl;dr They have problems, but the problems aren't as bad as they seem.
People like her don't improve their art without being forced. The most an art therapist would do is give them different materials to try and little challenges to see if they can (or want to bother) "improving" or moving on to a new subject. Otherwise they'll just be left to do whatever they want. -- Which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
It started out that way. If I remember correctly, some of the first drawings she posted were done in crayon. She also did some. . .attempted tracing? & periodically used clip art à la Kengle.

Good to know, I was a bit worried. When I found her several years ago, I felt horrendously guilty about looking her up as soon as I saw the misspelled name. & the. . .everything else.
EDIT: I love how Jenffer's ffersona looks like Fursuit Tanooki Mario.

One thing most people don't notice is that Jenn refers to "30 year anniversary" this year. That's because for the first 5-10 years it was generally all written stories. Below is Jenn's old archive of them.

Current thread with our friends at /cow/ http://8ch.net/cow/res/204853.html. Background
Jenffer has been around for at least the past decade and as been a staple on the multiple iterations of /cwc/ and /cow/. While Jenffer is perhaps the tranny Godmother of artcows, she has not yet been documented and discussed here.
Jenffer A Jay is from Western Canada and has made their work as an artist the focus of their life... And it shows.
Jenffer hasn't been able to monetize their art well and the fact that they have multiple mental problems has not contributed to overcoming the hardships that come with being a starving artist.
I never planned to be here where I am now. I was born with many hidden handicaps and a family that liked to move because they couldn’t cope. The reason we first came up here was because my dad dreamed to find gold in 1974. I was young, going to school, what set me back from learning was moving around.
I was in and out of welfare, up and down until 1987 when my mom and dad split up. And the main family came here and ever since then I’ve settled down. Little did I know that at my next job my body couldn’t take it anymore. With my carpal tunnel syndrome my arms would get tired and that was my first let down and then I started to be myself. I came out of the closet, changed my name and that is who I am now. Even the name I had, my family didn’t like it. I didn’t want to be labeled on one side of the family or the other. I stuck to it. I went Outside, did my treatments and started over again.
For me, the only thing that will go for me is my cartooning. I started a webpage, started a markup and I’m on welfare. My SIL worker helped me on things, I have a lot of friends, and I have Yukon Learn. I went to look for help. I knew my limitations. Now I volunteer and take part in the community. Once they called me names.
Their artwork is based on their own character, an old tranny with extremely large breasts and their tranny lesbian lover. Both Jenffer and their lover are furries with cat ears and tails. Jenffer also makes videos where the voice is a computerized text-to-speech program. Their adventures are typically banal, however the style and content are the elements that truly emphasize the lolworthiness of the art.
One of their most noteworthy pieces of art was "The Day I Became a Cat Girl"
Websites that have discussed Jenffer
Jenffer's art is not something that she seeks to hide. Jenffer has created several pages detailing their art. /cow/ has recently celebrated 7 years of daily artwork being displayed on youtube. Jenffer also has been the subject of discussion on multiple other smaller boards and has an ED chronicling their art.
