Project Update: Fulfillment Update
Hi everyone!
First off, you have my sincerest apologies for the delay in between updates. For the first time in my career as a full time artist I have had to take on a 2nd full time job in order to support my family, which has caused a significant delay in my fulfillment times. Had I known at the beginning of this campaign that I would start a second job midway through, I would have adjusted the projected timeline accordingly, but I can honestly say that I had no idea how draining, time consuming, and stressed out working two full time jobs plus raising two toddlers would make me. This year has been so difficult and I am truly so sorry for letting that affect my work.
While this experience has been very eye opening for me, I never intended to give anyone any uncertainty in regard to this campaign, so I am very sorry for any caused by the delayed communication. I am constantly striving to better myself as an artist and as a person, and I will learn from this to be better in the future.
Thank you for your patience! Some of you have been around since the beginning, through all six of my pin campaigns, and know how much I love to create art and share it with the world. I’m sorry for this unusual delay, which isn’t what you’re used to when supporting my work. For those of you that are new here, and this is your first campaign with me, I’m sorry for the first impression I’ve given. You all deserve full transparency when putting your trust and faith into a crowdfunding campaign.
I also apologize for getting personal, but I felt you all were owed an explanation for my delays.
Now on to the project update itself. Since my last update when the pins were on their way to me, i have since received them, graded them, packaged, and am almost 50% through fulfilling backerkit pledges and preorders now.
This process has been slowed by my second job, but I hope to be completely done within the next 2 or 3 weeks and the campaign will officially come to a close.
For those of you who pledged in the first 48 hours, your early bird incentives are already packaged with your pins.
Another little pin update I have is for those of you who preordered howls castle through the preorder store. Originally this pin was 2.5 inches, but due to the amount of detail we increased the size to 3 inches, so this is a big little guy. The biggest pin I’ve ever done. Here’s a little preview:
I think that’s all for now. Thank you, as always, for your support.
