That's a Wrap on the Studio Summer Shop!
Thank you so much for your support this summer! I haven't done something like this summer shop before but your love for my work went above and beyond anything I could have anticipated. Thank you all!
I'm so thrilled to share that all Studio Summer Shop pledges that completed the survey/payment process have been shipped and I'll be officially closing out the campaign on OCTOBER 15, 2026! Thank you all so much, again, for your support, and I hope you all love these pins as much as I loved creating them ^_^
❗❗If you haven't received a tracking notification or a package for your pledge, then you still have unfinished tasks to address - either an unfinished survey, missed payment, or you're a UK backer that has not reached out to wrap up your pledge. I'm unable to send you your rewards if these steps aren't complete. If your survey is not completed and payment processed by the October 15 date, your pledge will be considered a donation to the campaign and rewards can no longer be redeemed.
Looking for more? I don't have any new projects planned until 2027, but stay tuned!

Smoke Tests/Surveys Incoming!
Hello, Adventurers!
Thank you so much for your support of my Studio Summer Shop! I've got everything set up for surveys and have requested a review from BackerKit, so as soon as that check is done we'll be heading into smoke tests (where we send a few surveys out to check for bugs), then the full survey process. We're moving quickly on this one since it's not funding any new product, just existing product, so here's what to expect in the next couple weeks:

We're moving quickly on this one since it's not funding any new product, just existing product, so here's what to expect in the next couple weeks:
- Surveys should be sent in the next few days. I'm hoping for today or tomorrow but it could take into early next week, depending on the review.
- Assuming I'm able to send the surveys this week, the rest of the timeline is as follows and may adjust by a few days depending on need here:
- August 14: 48-hour warning for surveys closing should send, just one(ish) week after surveys opening.
- August 17: 48-hour warning for charging cards should send on or around this date. This is for the shipping charges, any new items added, and any payments that didn't go through after the campaign ended. Cards would actually be charged 48 hours later sometime on August 19.
- August 19: 48-hour warning for locking addresses.
- Shipping will run roughly August 24-September 15. My hope is to wrap everything up in August but I have a few time conflicts with conventions at the end of August/early September that might complicate that process a bit. In any case, shipping is on track to end by September 15 at the latest.
So, keep an eye out for all those alerts and survey asks from BackerKit coming your way shortly, Adventurers! I can't wait to get these pins and stickers (and even a few prints/bookmarks/magnets!) in your hands very soon ^_^

The Summer Shop is Open!
Hi there, Adventurers! While the new pins this year are underway and being fulfilled I'm so excited to open a little summer shop for all of you!
The summer shop only includes pins (and associated stickers, art, etc.) that are in hand or will be in hand before fulfillment, which means the wait between campaign and receiving your goodies is pretty short. That includes:
The summer shop only includes pins (and associated stickers, art, etc.) that are in hand or will be in hand before fulfillment, which means the wait between campaign and receiving your goodies is pretty short. That includes:
- Artist series
- Also art prints, metal bookmarks, and magnets of my original charcoal drawings that these are designed after!
- Con Adventurers 1 + 2
- Fulfillment of this campaign will be happening after Pintopia fulfillment. Those of you waiting on Pintopia, they're coming soon!
- Mythical Bards 1 + 2
- Mythical Bards 3 won't be as ready to go for this, so we're focusing on the existing bards from series 1 and 2 for this summer shop.
I have individual pins in the shop and numerous bundles available at a bit of a discount, making this an excellent opportunity to get caught up on any of the collections if you've missed any before now! Take a look below at the main pins, then look through the campaign and add-ons for even more goodies (and more details about these, too!)
Looking for something else? Honestly, I've never done this specific kind of format before for pins I already have on hand. If there are pins or stickers or little bundles you were hoping for that aren't here, let me know! We're trying something a bit new with this and we're figuring it out as we go :)
Thank you, Adventurers! Enjoy the shop!
