Hey vampire lovers! 

I hope your week is going well!

I've received the first package of pins! It contained mostly Fox's cat pins (because we ordered and had them shipped together) but it did contain the Tainted Lily pins and the "Cheers" pins.  They look great!! 

Unfortunately the other pins have taken longer, but I've been told that they're finally done being produced and will be shipped to me by the end of the week! Once they do, Foxpirate and I are going to have a big grading party sometime in the next month or so and then after that I'll be able to start shipping them. 

I predict that the soonest I will be able to start shipping will be mid or late April. I'm sorry I can't fulfill sooner; I will be gone at conventions for a large portion of March. Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding!

Here are some pictures the manufacturer sent me of the pins they finished up this week!

I'm so stoked and can't wait to see them in person!!

Some of you probably already saw, but I'm currently running a campaign for a huge set of spicy pins called Sugar & Spice! I launched on Valentine's day and the campaign EXPLODED! It smashed all my launch records and I'm honestly so floored by the support. Early Bird tiers are no longer available, but the campaign is still going for 9 more days! You can pledge for these pins here!

After Sugar & Spice, I have YET ANOTHER campaign planned for launch on March 18th: Cryptid Crushes!

Cryptid Crushes is my next set of spicy pinup pretty boys similar to my Monster Match campaign, but this time they're based on fan-favorite cryptids such as Mothman, the Jersey Devil, Bigfoot, Nessie, and more! If you want to get notified when the campaign launches, you can sign up for notifications on the teaser page.

For this campaign, I've had the honor of collaborating with UltraInfinite, who is creating Themed Monster Enamel Pins. Folks who pledge to both campaigns will receive this pair of freebie pins!

Both our projects are part of a larger collection called Oddities & Obscura. Backers who pledge for six or more campaigns will get even more freebies!

That's it for this update! As always, thanks so much for your patience during the production portion of campaign fulfillment. You guys are awesome!!

Next time you hear from me, I hope it's to tell you that the rest of the pins have arrived.

That's it for this update. Have a great week!

Hey vampire lovers!

I’ll start today’s message with a quick fulfillment update: some the pins will be done this week and will be shipped to me on this Friday. After that I’ll be coordinating with Foxpirate to find a time for us to meet and do lots of grading so we can get fulfillment started.

However, the main reason I come to you today is with a need for your help.

As I have mentioned, my next big project Cryptid Crushes will be launching in March this year. I’ve been toiling away getting it ready for launch and I’ll be able to share the pin designs soon.

However, I also got another idea for a rather large pin set/drop that would fit well with a Valentine’s Day release -spicy smut books, candy heart pins with spicy phrases, and a few other ideas.

However, I worry about overwhelming all of you with too many projects all at once, especially because Pintopia will be ending around that time.

So my question is this - if I launched a campaign for fun, casual, slightly saucy pins around Feb. 11th, and then launched my Cryptid Crushes campaign as planned on March 18th, would you be able to/want to back both campaigns, or are those dates too close together?

Attached is a preview of the pins I’d be offering for the Valentine’s Day campaign.

As you all are the people most willing and likely to follow and support my work, I felt asking you all would be a great way to help me decide how to handle both of these project launches. If you have a minute I would really appreciate you taking the time to vote in the attached poll! 

Feel free to comment your thoughts below as well. This will really help me determine the best path forward with this!

Thank you in advance!

Hey vampire lovers!

I'm here with some sample pictures of the pins from my manufacturer!

These are half-completed samples so please keep a couple things in mind as you look:

I'm really happy with how these are looking so far!! They've been approved and sent to mass production.

I also have photos of the tote bags and stickers!

Thank you all for your patience as usual! I'll update you again when I have word that the pins are being shipped out and/or have arrived :)

Cheers,
Rain
