JENN LYONS lives in Atlanta, Georgia with her husband, her cat, and a nearly infinite number of opinions on anything from Sumerian mythology to the correct way to make a martini. She was nominated twice for the Astounding Award for Best New Writer (in 2020 and 2021) after a twenty-year career as a graphic artist and illustrator and a second career as a video game producer. Lyons traces her geek roots back to playing first edition Dungeons & Dragons in grade school – a hobby she’s continued as an adult—as well as whatever craft or skill she’s obsessed with this week: pyrography, beadwork, stenography, furniture upholstery, etc. All five books of Lyons’s five-book debut epic fantasy series, starting with The Ruin of Kings, as well as her stand-alone epic fantasy The Sky on Fire, are available from Tor Books.

I'm an indie plush, apparel, and merch designer from Florida! My goal with my designs is to create high quality, fun, vibrant pieces that can be enjoyed by people of all shapes, sizes, and abilities! 

Hi there! I’m Vinny, a passionate hobbyist artist and furry enthusiast with a flair for creating charming merchandise that brings joy to the furry community. Inspired by mid-century American culture and classic soda shops, I love combining nostalgia with playful designs. My latest projects include a series of enamel pins featuring adorable characters from Freddy and Friends, along with my whimsical "Smiling Critters" line inspired by Poppy Playtime. When I’m not sketching or designing, you can find me exploring new creative ideas, working on fun collaborations, or crafting unique items for my vendor booth. I’m dedicated to making each piece special and hope to share my love for art and the furry community through my work. Thank you for your support in bringing these delightful creations to life!

A traditional illustrator at heart, my main themes focus on beasties, SPACE, and booze. (It's all pretty magical.) I love to lean into themed projects with multiple pieces rather than one-off singles, and prefer the feel of working with pencils and paints over digital tablets. You may recognize my past projects that feature both illustrations and pins: Drachtoberfest, SPAAAACE Witch! And you may have followed other collab projects such as "Mythical Monsters" hosted by Robot Dragon Studios, and Wild Advent hosted by Alstro Arts. (If you peek around my social media or Patreon you'll also find Godzilla: KING, Cosmos (A Spacetime Odyssey, and Possible Worlds), A Year of Mermaids, and Pinspirations. Here on Bakerkit is my latest enamel pin project that adds to the Drachtoberfest cast, themed on the other "beer" holiday outside of Oktoberfest, with themes of green and gold.

CO-Creators Leigha Huggins and Heather Lean collaborate once again to bring another creative collective project to life!  With more ideas than time, we decided this was one worth making time for.  We believe when you take time to nourish something beyond thought, it starts to bring a beauty of life to life on it's own.  And we can't wait to watch this beautiful book take flight out of our minds and into the hearts of our artists ... creating a true work of art from the heart.   Creativity is an expression of anything you want, and I think ours ... is best described as an expression of love, art, wisdom, and words compiled into one simple read, hopefully leaving you with endless inspirational feelings.   I like to think we are creating more than a book with all the moving pieces and parts, as we create a win for several artists, a vision, a freedom of expression, and a connection of creativity from concept to reader, we hope you follow along to be part of the beauty we are encouraging to take flight.

Welcome to my Backerkit! Who am I? Hi, I’m Akitaya Ayano, a passionate artist from Germany, specializing in Manga and Anime art. What am I working at? I’m also working on my own exciting Fantasy Light Novel series, bringing a huge magical world and absolutely unforgettable Animal Characters to life! I would be thrilled if you supported my writing project - because with your help, it could become reality as soon as beginning of next year! My Light Novel will be professionally edited, and with enough support, I could even bring it to an international audience. Since the original version is in German, a full English translation could be made possible with your backing!  As a dedicated fan of anime culture, I create high-quality enamel pins too - from fanart-inspired designs to a huge upcoming collection based on my own Light Novel universe. Each pin is crafted with love, ensuring unique designs for collectors and fans alike. My first collection, AniMagiNeko, transforms beloved anime characters into adorable cats with a touch of an artist's magic. Due the high US taxes I had to pause this project, but it is back now! The most important Project this year (25): I also work on the Cosmic Unicorn Collection and Chakra Pins of Harmony, running on Kickstarter!
