Hi fish fries!!
First of all, I just wanted to let you know that we now have our own exclusive discord for Patreon members!! I plan to use it to post more updates and sneak peeks that might not be big enough for me to put onto a post here (such as work in progresses and etc).
If you'd like to join, you can connect your discord to patreon by doing the following steps and you should automatically be added into the discord group!
Hi fish fries! This early update is being put up late for you guys to give a slightly fair chance since Rachel/Rainylune is opening her secret shop a little later as well so I didn't want our releases to be too far apart!
Everyone is getting access to all the new release items one hour before public shop opening! Preorder items such as...

Hi fish fries!!
I recently got an amazing opportunity to be a guest for an episode of Dr. Kisten's podcast, Geekoscopy! It's a podcast that focuses on highlighting interesting ways to communicate science, through art or other unique forms of media!
Dr. Yanas Kisten is also a marine biologist and postdoctoral researcher at the Nelson Mandela University in South Africa, so I really enjoyed having this talk with someone who is very established in the field of marine biology and discu...

First of all, Rachel from Rainylune & I have been planning another collab since like... November but due to the Lunar New Year holidays from overseas on top of the holiday rush for Christmas, we couldn't really figure out how to be...

Hello fish fries, & HAPPY FEBRUARY!!!! I hope you've all been doing well and taking care of yourselves! 💖 As you guys all start to fill out and complete your reward cards, please make sure to DM me on patreon with a LINK to your completed stamp card (this could be either from google drive, discord photo, imgur, etc--for some reason patreon doesn't support any photo uploads)! Please don't freak out if I don't respond, if your card is completed sometime this month, you won't receive a ne...

The secret shop password is: FISHIVERSARY
As a reminder, please do not share this password around as it is only for patreon members only! Stocks are pretty limited as I wasn't sure how well th...

Hi fish fries!!!
I know it's January but I'm already dreaming of spring and am honestly SO over this cold weather 😩 It's been so cold the past few days which is great because I've been releasing so many sweaters (I LOVE sweaters but just cold weather is a big nono for me).
I have a few designs planned that may or may not be scraped for the next few months but for sure, I'm looking into getting a sample made of some new cardigans! I've been having a lot of trouble with shipping ...

Hi fish fries!!!
I have so much to say now that January's almost coming to its end--especially because we are nearing the one year anniversary from the day I first opened Umvvelt!!
I've definitely come a long way since then, and as always, I really cannot express how much everyone's support means to me over this past year of running Umvvelt. With that being said, I'll be having a small shop update (I know we literally JUST had one last week, but I wanted to have something special ...

Hi fish fries!!! It's here and finally ready, I'm so sorry for the delays!!! I went ahead and included a catalogue of all the new items and sorted them by new items & the new valentine's collection!
You can access the shop by visiting UMVVELT and clicking on the right hand button that says "ENTER USING PASSWORD"! When you get to the password page, all you gotta do is enter the password which is "<...

Hello fish fries!!
I'm sorry this post is a little late today, I feel like I've been too spoiled with taking a break and I fell a bit behind on the work so I'm really trying to work and catch up and work a few months ahead these past few days before the next shop opening >_\;;;;;
Next month is FEBRUARY!!! I've always been terrible at using reds/pinks because I'm such a sucker for blues instead but I decided to at least dedicate this month's rewards to the color pink for celebra...

Hi fish fries! Last post for the end of the year and it's another merch design that I hopefully will plan to release February 3rd of 2021 ✨✨
I chose this date in particular because this date would be exactly one year from when I originally made & sold the salmon & tuna designs! It has a special place in my heart as it was one of my more successful posts that really allowed my shop to take off while I was just starting!
I wanted to work on a series that encouraged...

Hi fish fries!! I hope you are all doing well 💖💖
As many of you know, my shop has been closed and all orders have been shipped as of last week! I've been super excited to relax and just get to wind down before the shop opens again! But in that time frame I've been working on new designs instead whenever I try to draw something instead of ""relaxing"" 😂
So I do have a LOAD of new designs ready for next year (not too sure if I will release them all at once or queue it out, ...

Hi Fishy Fries!!!
Sorry for the late night post! No new merch updates or anything--if anything it's more of a personal post before the year ends! You're more than welcome to skip this post if you want to but if you decide to tag along and read it through, I'd much appreciate it 💖
So it's been about 6 months since I started patreon--and almost a year since I started running Umvvelt!! I never would have imagined the amount of success I would be receiving just this year alone and ...

Hey fish fries!!! I've been waiting these samples for new button up designs to come in that I wanted to have planned for release some time in 2021!
I'm not too sure when I'd be able to release them--judging from the arrival of Chinese New Year which would cause some delays, I'll probably look to having them released after February! Maybe even in the spring for warmer weather?
I made a crybaby collar pin design that matches the crybaby shirt (not seen here but I'll update some phot...

Hi fish fries!
I have a TON left over patreon rewards from these past few months and thought what better way to cut down on a few of them than through some collection boxes!!!
I personally really enjoy the Christmas holidays and I love wrapping and gift giving in particular! There's something that's so theraputic with wrapping up presents and making them look presentable--I spotted these tiny boxes that were the perfect size for putting in postcards, sticker sheets & pins so I...

Happy December everyone! I'm terribly sorry for the slow updates this past month--the holiday season is upon us (me) very heavily & it's been keeping me from drawing or making any new merch updates >_< But I have a bunch of new things planned and I'm super excited to share them with you all!!! I should have some more time starting next month after I finish shipping out the remainder of November's preorders so hopefully I'll be able to update a little more than usual!

I'm so so sorry for the late update but all October patreon rewards have finally been packed and shipped!! TTT___TT;; domestic/USA patrons should start receiving them as soon as this week!!
For international patrons, I ask that you wait patiently since next month is the upcoming election and I'm assuming with all the mail-in ballots everyone will be sending in, USPS might be a little more bogged down than usual but things should eventually make their w...

Hi fish fries!! I wasn't planning on doing any more new apparel for the rest of the year but I was brainstorming about holiday seasons, specifically Christmas themed sweaters and I drew out some embroidered designs that will hopefully be available in November's store drop!
I wanted to make two designs in case people don't celebrate Christmas in particular I made a winter themed one instead! I got some samples made so I'm super excited to see them once they come in and take some photos! ...

Similar to their shape, the size of these cups should match similar to the size of 12 oz soda can! The designs are screenprinted on these cups as well and are ...

Hi fish fries!! I've got a few neat things coming up this shop update and wanted to show you all what's currently in production now!
I refashioned some of my old (retired) washi tape designs from before into lanyards--some of you might have recognized the first few designs since I did print them as lanyards before a long time ago! I never got around to printing them again so I really wanted to get to them now since so many of you have been asking for lanyards for the longest time!...

Hello hello! 🐟 I got asked to make a catalog for all the apparel I'll be releasing on my shop this upcoming weekend and I put one together so you can see all the available options! I've also marked which ones are new release and which ones are embroidered/screenprinted too to organize it a little more aside separating them from each kind of apparel!
I figured it'd be useful to put something like this together since I feel like it looks a little messy on my shop?? 💦 But that's just...
