My name is Jenavieve but you can call me Jen. I am the gracious webmaster of Piggy Network, a personal website themed around pigs, the most splendid animal. Piggy Network is a project I started in 2026. I wanted to create this website as a landing page to showcase my illustration work, but with a more appealing personal touch than what modern web design has to offer. I currently work part-time as a custodial engineer and no longer take commissions for illustrations. I draw purely as a hobby and have no interest in pursuing art as a career, but I occasionally offer my work for sale as prints as an additional source of income.

After playing through the Mega Man Battle Network series, one of my favorite video game series I've played, I was genuinely intrigued by this game's portrayal of how society interacts with the internet. What I found especially fascinating was that, despite how long ago this series debuted, these games accurately predicted how technology would come to integrate with every facet of everyday life, which leads to many major conflicts within the series. By the time I got to the second installment of MMBN, I felt greatly inspired by the ensemble cast's authentic interactions with the internet, most specifically when engaging on forums and webpages. I feel that when most media depicts how society interacts with the internet, it offers a capitalistic, surface-level, superficial interpretation of web browsing. And if it's not that, it's cherry-picked nostalgia, historically revising how the internet actually was for a gentrified, palatable aesthetic. I feel that the internet and how society engages with it are something rarely represented authentically in fictional works. MMBN portrays this subject with such flawless sincerity that it leaves me with a sense of enlightenment. When setting out to create Piggy Network, I wanted to make a sincere personal project for myself, coming from a place of both inspiration and understanding of webpages, and not a historical revision nostalgia trip. Also, I just love pigs.
