Hey y'all,

We're only two weeks away from the launch of this project and Pintopia 2026! I've been working on my campaign page and am excited to give everyone a preview of the freebies and collaborations with other artists that will be a part of this campaign. Backers for this project will be eligible for up to $70+ of freebies including enamel pins, stickers, and more.

1. I'm partnering with my friends at Arledge Comics to offer a set of mythology and storytelling themed cross-collaboration pins. Their project, Spirits in the Waves, is a continuation of the Spirits in the Woods collection they made during last Pintopia. Make sure to follow along and back their project early to maximize your rewards!

2. I am also running another campaign called Pride in the Pages on Kickstarter this month. Backers who support with projects will receive a free mini pin AND have the option to save money by combining shipping for their rewards. If you're new here, backing Pride in the Pages will also qualify you for the Returning Backer sticker.

3. Backerkit is introducing "Banners" to this Pintopia that allow creators to join thematic sub-groups. I'm one of 17 creators with literary themed projects participating in the Bookworm Banner, which will offer additional freebies for backers who support 3+ participating campaigns. There are 15 themed banners total and you can check them out here!

I hope y'all are getting as excited for Pintopia as I am!

With love and creativity,
Max
