I have a few items that I wanted to make you aware of.
Surveys
Surveys for Even More Catrs Doing Science will be sent out soon! Some will be sent out today and if I don't notice any mistakes in how they are setup I will send out the rest on Monday. Please fill out the survey as soon as you are able. I need the survey data to let me know how many of each pin design to order.
Pre-Order Shop
If you didn't get a chance to back Even More Cats Doing Science, don't worry! I have opened the pre-order shop in Backerkit for the next two weeks, so there is still time to get in on the new science cat fun! https://even-more-cats-doing-science.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders
Upcoming Projects
I have two more upcoming projects for this year that I wanted to let you know about. Both of them are works-in-progress and may change a bit between now and their launches,
The Many Hobbies of Mothman is a fun and humerous campaign with pins featuring a cute Mothman enjoying hobbies and interests such as reading, playing TTRPGs, caring for plants, enjoying time with their cat, and playing guitar! I plan to add more designs before launch.
This will be part of a group of projects and the Mothman Newspaper pin will be available as a freebie for suporting this project and two others in the group. Feel free to let me know what hobbies you might like to see!
What's for Lunch? is my first Mini-Pin Campaign! Each pin is no bigger than 1-inch! I love cheese burgers and this campaign is in celebration of that. Each 1-inch pin is a different component of a cheese burger! I personally plan on displaying them on my jacket as if all of the pieces are falling down to form a perfectly stacked burger! If the campaign does well I would like to add other toppings and/or bread options. Maybe a chicken sandwich or avocado slices,😂 The sky is the limit! Well actually funding is the limit, so I hope you will support this out of the box concept!
Thank you
Thank you all so much for your support! Without you I would be unable to bring any of these fun designs into the world.
If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.
The Even More Cats Doing Science campaign is now officially over. Together we raised over $21K!
At a time when I know many other creatives who are struggling, I am truly humbled by this show of support both in myself and in what I have created. I cannot thank you enough!
So what happens now?
Some time in the next two weeks, BackerKit will charge your card for your pledge. If it errors for some reason you will have an opportunity to update the payment information.
I will be hard at work setting up the survey. Previous Science Cats I have created WILL be available as add-ons.
In about 2 weeks I will then send out the survey. The survey is VERY IMPORTANT. This campaign has over 40 designs and nearly 400 backers. I need the survey information to know which designs I need to order a lot of, and which designs I only need the minimum number of produced. I will be placing the main pin order about two weeks after the survey is sent out (4 weeks form now).
With this many pins this is a SLOW process. I appreciate your patience as I work to make sure you recieve the highest quality pins possible.
In the meantime, if you have any questions or concerns please let me know and I will be happy to answer them to the best of my ability.
Thank you so much for supporting this project. I truly have a heart for demystifying science and making it feel more approachable to everyone. I firmly believe that these fun little science cat pins do make an impact that could potentially be felt for generations.
Please give a warm welcome to the Linear Accelerator Cat! Linear accelerators (LINAC) are external beam radiation treatment devices used in cancer care. The primary advantage as I understand it is the ability to target cancer regions while minimizing exposure of healthy tissue to the radiation.
It is important to understand that life saving devices and treatments don't just emerge overnight. They are the result of decades of work by teams of people. It is truly a remarkable time to live!
I am excited to announce that a new Science Cat has joined the project. Please give a warm welcome to the Android Robotics Cat!
I am making extensive use of screen-printing to get the level of detail I want on the screens. I think this design is really going to look amazing in person. In concept I could also redo the screen-printing to make a version that is experiencing an error with mad red eyes on the robot, haha.
I have had a number of persons requesting robotics and or animatronics designs, and I felt like this was a reasonable compromise between them as leading edge animatronics are getting closer and closer to advanced robotics than props and set pieces.
I don't know what the future holds, but we may very well one day see truly independent machines walking among us... This kitty seems to be working toward that future.
As stated before this new design will also be included in the 'One of Everything' tier, making it an even better value than it already was!
