Project Update: Progress update + other things

Hi everyone! Sorry for the lack of updates for so long! So this one is really long!

We just finished moving. It was a really intense endeavor due to all the merchandise.

I finally yesterday got a new update from the manufacturer. They recently FINALLY did the chrome metal colorways but it came out wrong? So without even letting me know, they decided to do it again and that isn't done yet. I appreciate the initiative but I hate being left in the dark. The only chrome colors I was shown are the jellos... and it looks like the demon skull isn't chrome even though it's supposed to be? I haven't gotten a response yet.

Here are the new samples I was sent pics of:


I have NO IDEA why blue looks like that...will be adjusted right away


Since not every color is approved it seems it will still take a while for them to go to mass production, especially since these samples haven't even been printed on yet (which then also needs approval).

Sorry these little guys are taking so long, I for sure thought I'd have them for Tekko but I won't. :( So instead I will be bringing more apparel. At Tekko this month, I will be AA table 141 and have my clothing rack!
 


If anyone is planning on coming to the event, I will have dozens of designs of liquid shakers, and new pudding keychains! I will also be in a stamp rally with 4 other artists, social media announcements coming soon.



They're squishies!!


Glow-in-the-dark "Brain Juice," "Chronically Depressed," and revamped "Sugar Paws" designs on soda cans and... propane?! lol


I have not added beads to those ones yet! I tried to upload more images and a GIF of finished beaded examples but I don't have wifi yet so it didn't stick. 😵‍💫


These are my new debuts since I wasn't able to fulfill this campaign before the show. Hopefully soon I will have the pins, and since we are settling in I should be able to send them out right away after sorting! It's really unfortunate because our original plan was to ship both campaigns' pins together for all backers who cross-pledged (and then refund excess shipping), but now we have different deadlines for them, Holly just left from their visit and is back home, and my chrome plating apparently takes forever and a half. 

Also, bandages are produced as of this week and will be here hopefully soon, too - they are still available via the preorder store

As a reminder these are medical-grade, I just can't legally TELL you to slap them on anything other than for the purpose of decoration.


My only other confirmed events for the year are a tiny disability celebration event in Ann Arbor MI on July 26th, and then the Oddities Expo in Grand Rapids MI July 27th-28th. I assume I will have leftover puddings and keychains for them but you never know. I was waitlisted for Otakon and NYCC and am waiting on results for multiple November shows. 

I am going to have hip surgery again at the very end of the year so I'm not sure my crowdfunding schedule for 2025 - hopefully by the end of this campaign I can make a solid announcement! 

Thanks all! Sorry for the long update! Hopefully next is when they're printed on and with a fixed blue jello!!
