A secret little project

I think I'm gonna try and post a bit more about our merch here but a couple weeks ago we were approached to be a part of PINTOPIA 2 which is a funny little pin bonanza Backerkit's crowdfunding division is hosting over on their platform....

And though every fiber of my being said, 'you have made enough pins, Winter Jay Kiakas, you do NOT need to make more' um....

uhh....

well.... I couldn't resist. I've never been cordially INVITED to participate in something like this before and we've been meaning to test out other avenues for crowdfunding since Kickstarter's awkward little misstep about blockchains..... a couple years ago. Backerkit is where a lot of our Kickstarter audience has migrated to so we're testing the waters and seeing how well it works for us!

The Ideal is for us to be able to run crowdfunding on our shop proper but we're still small enough it makes logistics for that a bit tricky on our end so we're still in need of certain platforms to filter people towards our work-- BLAH BLAH SHOP TALK SHOP TALK--

ESSENTIALLY for this project I thought I'd limit my range with designing some pins for the 7 deadly sins! We're collaborating on 2 pins with These Guys (i know I know I'm still kinda reeling they wanted to collaborate with US on this thing) that you can help us unlock by getting both our campaigns on backerkit to reach their funding goals & pledging to both campaigns. (More details on that when we get closer).

I'll also be back once I have all the designs properly laid out so you all get to see this first! I just figured I'd share the campaign's landing page for folks who might want to keep tabs on the project as we go~

(On another note: I know there's err, no Augusteenies today, we both got sick and that kinda ate up our last week. We're gonna try and get one up here sometime this week <3).
