Thank you all so much for supporting this project. I've gotten a lot of questions about the items availability in the future beyond this campaign and I plan and hope to continue all items included in this series 2026 onward! I also want to include new items a part of this series in the future! Basically this campaign is the reason I can re-ignite this collection so I can't thank you all enough for allowing me the opportunity to do so :) One example to give: the community item chosen was the photocard holder, however, the pin banner was VERY close in the polls so I want to try to make that independently as a separate release in the future!
For the immediate to-do, I will be working on finalizing pledge survey items and getting that survey out as soon as possible! I will be trying my best to enable options for additional items during the surveys and getting a temporary preorder store enabled as well for anyone who missed the initial funding period.
As for samples or any other design updates, I will notify everyone here as soon as I have any new information :) I'm going to try to make everything as flexible as possible in the case anyone wants to change colorway or design choices as new photos come out. I will say I have worked with this supplier for a long time though and they get pretty accurate with digital-to-physical color!
HELLO EVERYONE! It is the final (less than) 24 hours and I want to start by thanking you all for the wonderful response on this project. I am blown away at how coveted this item is and I hope to make this series reoccurring!
A couple QoL and communications updates:
Pay-over-time feature could not be enabled due to the partnership with third-party fulfillment. Staggered survey responses would not allow for accurate production numbers and therefore would create logistics issues that would cause this project to either last twice as long for fulfillment or I would not be able to partner with an external program for fulfillment. I want this project to be handled by professionals and not just my own hands (it would be doable, it would just be a lot of work at once).
For last minute design additions, do not worry about pledging extra for 'just in case,' you should be able to add more items and funds in the post-campaign survey when you are selecting your rewards! While I have quite a few design additions in this update, do not worry about anything being last chance before the campaign closes.
In addition to the survey session allowing for item additions, I will be looking into opening a preorder shop post-campaign. It might have limited stock in order to not come across any item shortages post QC or during fulfillment.
MX Paint V2 and onwards will not be disappearing! I have plans to continue the series in regular stock next year as I am able :)
Samples of all the colorways and wallet are still in progress but they did send me a preview of the custom zipper for the wallet!

Community Poll Item Winner!
MX Paint Photocard Holder!!!
MX Paint photocard holder design mock
This image is still an approximate mock- I'll be looking into a couple special materials and layering to make this as sleek as possible and allow for ample card-viewing space! I've determined the best size to go with is approximately 7x9cm or 2.75x3.5 inches or the standard photocard size. The exterior may be slightly wider to account for design offset. Thank you all for participating! I will be adding this photocard item as an add-on option and a pledge-able option.
NEW INSERT!!!
fields insert
I decided to bring back a classic- inspired by the Windows XP desktop background photograph. This Fields insert will be available to select in the post-campaign survey :)
NEW PINS!!!

Here are two new regular enamel pin designs added for selection post-campaign!
art tool mini pins
web cursor mini pins
The art tool mini pin set has also been added as a select-able design set post-campaign!
Thank you all so much again for your support and patience with this! And again, if any new designs are added after this update, even if you don't pledge for them, they will be available via survey and preorder store :)
Thank you for all of the support we've received on our first ever crowdfunding campaign!! This has been such a wonderful experience, and we've learned so much along the way. We hope to apply the things we've learned to a Series 2 in the future!
We will have more information regarding surveys very soon!
Thank you SO so much for your support on the campaign, I really appreciate your help in us getting funds and being able to unlock so many awesome apparel pieces!! 💖💖
Backers are being charged now for their pledges but so far there are 26 Backers whose payments have failed!! Please double-check your payment settings/cards and make sure it's up to date!! After July 17th Backers will NOT be able to fix their failed payments and unfortunately that means I will not be receiving your funds and you will not be receiving your Rewards!! ;;
Thank you for reading!! I will update you all soon on the status of Surveys, etc.!!
Thank you SO so much for your continued support the past few days!! Your pledges are very very much appreciated and will help so much for us to fund the 3 beanies, 2 t-shirts, and 1 hoodie!!
We are currently 4 Backers away from unlocking the FREE charm for everyone (not including the $1 tip tier)!! I have finished the artwork for the charm!! Check it out below!
Once we reach 150 Backers this free charm will unlock for everyone and will be included in your mailed Rewards (not including the $1 tip tier)!!
There is now only 68 HOURS LEFT before the campaign ends so if you've been holdin' out on pledging till the last minute, be sure to pledge soon!! 👀💖💖
Thank you all for your support!! I'm so excited to order everything after the campaign ends (and I receive the funds)!! :3
Hey everyone! Sorry for the delay on getting back to things, Momocon was great and I'm finally back at my computer!
I threw together some mock images for the poll and it is now live! I'll lock in the winning item on June 1st! The poll is attached below if you would like to participate :)
I will be getting back to comments and questions within the next few hours if not tomorrow! Thank you all for your support :D
No updates on samples yet but I will get photos up on here as soon as I get em! There's a chance they might not make it before campaign-end but we've still got a few days :)
Next update (hopefully tomorrow) I'll be including new pin designs and insert designs! Thanks again for your patience!
HI. Is it possible to back the project for a pin and add the inserts as an add on? I'm really interested in the inserts, but I can't seem to find it as an add on option at check out.
We officially have only 1 hour and 20 minutes to go until my campaign ends!! THIS is the time to pledge if you haven’t already and if you HAVE pledged, to make any edits to your pledge if you want to!!
Thank you all so so much for your support on the campaign, it means so much to me!! And using BackerKit has been definitely a learning curve, but I am happy with the experience and will be sure to use it again for future projects!! 😊💖💖
More information about Surveys will be sent soon!!
