Project Update: 99% shipped! + New BAT project!
Hey guys! I have shipped out 99% of rewards!! The only backers waiting on their shipments are those who ordered Witchy Kitty shirts; restock is still in production for some sizes and won't be here until August so I'll be able to ship those out hopefully by the end of next month. Now for something else exciting! Please welcome... The Plush Bat Bag!!
This bat-shaped fanny pack with a built-in nose squeaker is going live exclusively on Kickstarter on Friday, July 25th at 12pm EST! Please check it out here! Along with the bag, I am also releasing matching accessories: A 100% cotton shirt with a fuzzy moon patch and embroidered bat and heart details, a segmented glitter moon charm, and a set of pink glitter enamel pins! Plus, get a FREE $20 charm when you pledge for both a bag and a shirt, and everyone gets a FREE moon enamel pin when we reach $15k!
Click "notify me on launch" to sign up to be notified when the campaign goes live! There will be early bird deals for those who pledge early, so make sure to keep an eye out next Friday! That's all for now, thank you everyone for supporting The Bat Cat project and I will see you again soon!! Here are some more pictures of the bat bag :D

Project Update: Back from my convention, shipping starts THIS WEEK!
Hey everyone! I've finished my 3 conventions in a row from the last 3 weeks so now I can focus on shipping out rewards! All plush and pins have been delivered, so I am beginning pin grading and I will start shipping things out this week. The plush come vacuum sealed which is so funny to me so you'll need to let them inflate a little after opening them haha.
Everyone who has completed the survey has had their address locked with final notice, meaning you have 48 hours to update your shipping address if anything has changed. Otherwise, once those orders lock I can begin shipments to you guys!! Exciting!!! Thanks everyone for your patience and I hope you love these pins and plush!

Project Update: Plush have been completed!
Hey everyone! Great news--the plush are finished and on their way to me! They're arriving by sea so I expect they'll take 4-6 weeks to get here, but I'm so stoked to send them out to everyone.
As far as tariffs are concerned, they have been temporarily reduced to 30%+ for the next 90 days, so hopefully nothing happens between now and the time they clear customs. Unless they want to lower tariffs even further... that'd be great! 30% is still a lot on a several thousand dollar order, but we'll make it through this.
Thanks for your patience everyone!

Project Update: Production still happening + Tariffs
Hey guys, just wanted to update everyone with the current status of things. Production is still ongoing but as many of you may know, tariffs have increased to 145+% and will be a significant hit to my financials once the orders arrive in the states. I won't ask you to foot that bill obviously because that would not be fair to you! But if you're interested in helping out in any way, just ordering from my online store (artbykino.com) and adding more to your pledge is more than enough support.
Thank you everyone for your patience! I'm excited to get the bulk of the plushies and pins, even if it means I have to pay the entire order costs over again :')
