First off, thanks for the support so far! It's always refreshing to see an original art campaign of mine be successful. My most successful projects have always been fanart, but I'm hoping to bridge the gap!
That said, I do have an update to the Backer Voted design stretch goal. I realized my dumb ADHD brain totally forgot to factor in the cost of producing the add-ons to the original goals. I recalculated and the new goal for the Backer Voted pin is $1500! I apologize for the mix up with this, but we have plenty of time still to reach this goal!
With that said, I am still opening the poll now for the Backer Voted design! I decided I'd do this now as a sort of consolation for having to change the goal amount. My hope is that I'll be able to get a sketch done soon for whatever you guys vote on! So, the poll is attatched to this poll. Your options are as follows:
If you have a suggestion , please comment it below! If I like the sound of it, I'll add it to the poll!
That's all for now! While I have you here though, excuse me while I self-promo my upcoming campaigns.... always be pluggin.
Coming up in August, I'm launching Hero's Hoard: Timeless Mini Pins -- a Zelda/OOT themed set of mini pins featuring items from the game in my style! This is a part of the Pocket Change Group Collab! Check it out HEREor by clicking the banner below!
For this year's Pintober, I'm launching Elemental Evolutions -- a series of enamel pins focusing on the Eeevelutions with their type symbols! These are 1.75in pins featuring gold plating and glitter, and an expansion on my very popular Sylveon design from a previous campaign, PokePostage. I'm so excited to get to draw all the Eevees! Check it out HERE or click the banner below!
And finally, for next year's Pintopia, I'm doing a sequel to this year's Pintopia campaign, 64 Bit Memories. That campaign was centered around N64 games, and I polled my backers there to see what they would like to see as a sequel. Gameboy + DS won, so Handheld Memories will officially launch in January 2027! Follow HERE to stay updated, or click the banner!

Hope you're enjoying the start of summer, and having fun with Pin Quest!
Thanks so much for the support today! It's been so cool to see this campaign get so much love!
We've already unlocked the first 3 pins, which is awesome!
We still have the Gyaru and Backer Voted pin to unlock! With a little over two weeks, I think we can definitely get them both unlocked!
Now, with that said, I do have to address a small error I made with the EARLY BIRD 3x Pin Tier. This tier was accidentally set to $39, not $36 as it should be. Forgive my scatterbrain! That said, once it was brought to my attention, I hid the tier and made a new tier with the correct price. So, if you are currently backing the tier labeledEARLY BIRD 3x Pin (Wrong Price), please swap to the other EARLY BIRD 3x Pin tier!
If anyone does not change this tier before the campaign ends, I will add a $3 discount to their survey to account for the difference in price!
That's all I have for now. Much love to everyone, I hope your Pin Quest journey has been fun so far!
It's almost time~! Tails of Tokyo launches TOMORROW as part of Pin Quest 2026!
And, since you cool people have followed the campaign early... I'm sending out an EXCLUSIVE Pre-Launch Pledge link! This link is only being sent out via this update (which is only being emailed to followers!), and shared to my Discord members!
You guys are getting first picks at early bird discounts through this link as well, so you don't want to miss out!
I also have some super cool add-ons to show off ahead of launch!
Glitter stickers have become a staple of my campaigns, so of course they're back for this one! They are also avaliable individually for $5 each. But, if you pledge for the sticket set, and the fifth Backer Voted design gets unlocked, I'll throw in that sticker at no extra charge!
Next up is Washi Tape! It will measure 1inch by 30 feet on the roll. I'll also be adding the backer voted design to the Washi Tape if we hit that stretch goal!
I'm really looking forward to this launch, and I hope you are too! Thank you all so much for following the campaign. Here's to seeing some familar names cross my dashboard tomorrow, and blasting through those pin goals! 🤞
Some of you may remember that I participated in an event called Pin Quest last year... well, this year's Pin Quest is a little less than a week away! Which ALSO means my new project, Tails of Tokyo is prepping for launch!
This campaign is focused on cute Kitsune disguising as different Japanese Fashion subcultures. Kitsune are known for disguising themselves to live around us. So, what if today's Kitsune took on those traits in their fox forms?
The first 4 designs are ready to show you -- Gyaru, Decora, and Lolita, and Visual Kei!The fifth pin will be a backer voted design!
I'm also cross-collabing with Lilac Fox! You can get both of these cute pins by backing both of our campaigns!
And, if you back 3 projects participating in Pin Quest, you'll build your own library of "stories" with FREE pins from each of us. Mine is a Kitsune fashion magazine!
I'm also planning on having the paw as a glitter sticker, which will be FREE to all returning backers from any previous campaigns!
I'd appreciate it if you followed the campaign and voted on the unlock order poll attached to this update!
Thanks as always for supporting my art. I really couldn't do this without all of you! I can't wait to share this with you!
