Project Update: Shipping supplies and the basic decks - Local Pick up now available via email confirmation

Hello everyone!

We appreciate your patience as this thought to be small project has blossomed into an epic campaign.

Today the shipping supplies are arriving at the gallery. While we were gone, half the basic decks also arrived, and shipping will begin promptly.

Please be aware, we have over 400 orders to ship and we are a team of two people and we will work as quickly as we can to get these out to you. We appreciate your support for my work; we couldn't do this without you and are doing everything in our power to proceed quickly and efficiently. 

However, we are still waiting on the leather sketchbooks, there have been a few hiccups in that area; we will probably not have those in hand for another month or two. If you have concerns about that, please email us at [email protected]. More than likely your other rewards will ship without it, and the sketchbook will ship at a later date via media mail.

Unfortunately, the printer wasn't able to send all the decks yet because of some technical difficulties. I have the bulk of them on hand to ship. The rest will arrive in a week or two. 

LOCAL PICKUP
Those of you who would like to pick up your rewards locally, please email [email protected] so we can have 24-48 hours to prepare your order for pickup. 

As always, thank you for your support! 

- Kaitlund & the Dragon Handler

Project Update: Antique decks arriving tomorrow and Emerald City Comic Con!

Hello everyone! 

We are happy to announce that the antique decks are inbound with a delivery date of tomorrow. 

They had to order more paper for the basic decks, which are in progress, and I expect to get them soon as well. 

We appreciate your patience as my husband, and I navigated ordering and prepping these. We are a small team of two, and this is over 400 orders to send out. It will take a bit of time but It will be worth it. Shipping will begin after we get back from Emerald City Comic Con the week of the 16th. 

For those of you who are attending Emerald City Comic Con, we will be there in person in the Artist Alley. Stop by and say hello. 

Cheers! 

- Kaitlund & Charles

Project Update: Checking in

Hello everyone, 

The decks are currently in progress at the printer, and there isn't much else to update. We expect them sometime this month. Mostly everything else is done or in progress. The sketchbooks are slightly behind, but I'm hoping to get those rolling into production soon as well. 

As for the coloring books, a couple of the line art pieces needed to be redone. They were accidentally merged with the color layers. Thankfully, that is moving along smoothly now, though. One of the downsides of autosave in Adobe Cloud. 

Thank you, everyone, for your patience as we are getting this project closer to the finish line. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to ask here or email [email protected]

Project Update: The Final Cards

Happy New Year's, everyone,

The cards are finally done!

While this campaign started in May, this project has been something I have wanted to create since I was in junior high.

It means so much to me that all of you have been along for the ride with my husband and I. We are eternally grateful not only for your support but also for your kind words as we both worked to bring this project to life.

With all of my creative projects, this took longer than planned. I appreciate your patience as I worked to wrangle my inspiration and creativity.

As the deck needed some TLC, the Coloring book ended up going on the back burner; however, I am halfway done compiling it. Expect that digital reward soon.

The artwork is awaiting a final pass by Misha and Jennie to see if there are any issues. Feel free to take a look here. If all goes well, they will begin shipping in February.  

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to [email protected]

Project Update: First round of card proofing and Dragonsteel Nexus - Painting a Brandon Sanderson Drawing

Hello everyone!

I'm happy to announce that the first round of card proofs arrived during Dragonsteel Nexus last week.


While it is a step in the right direction, a few things need to shift with the art. I will be trying hurriedly to finish all the needed changes over the next two weeks. 

Jennie Stevens did the first shuffle and card pull. I'm happy to say she pulled the Star as the first card TWICE when she read my cards. 

Your support and patience means the world to me as I get this deck completed and looking its best. As always let me know if you have questions. 

 

VIDEO OF SHUFFLE AND FIRST CARD DRAW

You can see the first shuffle and card draw here .  Jennie was able to do a few other card draws for Misha, herself and a few attendee's at Dragonsteel Nexus. 


DRAGONSTEEL NEXUS 2025

What a whirlwind of amazing people. Lots of new and old friends, amazing volunteers and employees. 
Special thanks to Jane and Emily with the Lightweaver Foundation and many others who helped us get set up for the live painting. 

Thank you Howard, Esther, Steve, Kari, Carly, Dan, Donato for having me join you on stage painting. It was the perfect event to end Dragonsteel Nexus 2025. Thank you Isaac for interviewing us artists and being an all around amazing person and artist.

Drawing by Brandon Sanderson, painting by yours truly. Ugin the Spirit Dragon is on auction with the proceeds going to the Lightweaver Foundation.

See everyones paintings and bid on them here

See the video of us on stage here

I look forward to painting some fan art of Starling after the Tarot deck and Anthology are completed. She is my new favorite Cosmere character, but you all knew that already I'm sure. 

Now, onwards to finishing the final touches on the Tarot Deck and celebrating the past year. Thank you, everyone who purchased from me this year. It has been another one for the record books.

Cheers!
