Thank you everyone for your patience! We finally sent out the “smoke test” surveys and caught a few little issues with shipping estimates and other minor things. We’ve resolved those and now the surveys will be going out to everyone.
I’m up in the PNW this week visiting Carrie’s studio and helping them grade and pack the pins from their Nocturnal Nouveau campaign. I’m learning a lot about how to spot manufacturing flaws and also thinking about how I can make the Folkgore backing cards look great with the variety of pins in this campaign.
I was also excited to see the display sample Carly created in person. It looks so good!
Short artist for scale
Pins testing the display space are from BackerKit creators who were in Pintopia earlier this year (and others)!
I’m more of a one-off pin collector myself and don’t really display them with a lot of intent. I think I collect figures and comics more often, although that’s such a space challenge for me when living in an apartment! To make this update a little more fun, here’s a poll. Let me know what you all like collecting and feel free to shout out your favorite indie creators in the comments!
PS - If you missed the campaign our pre-order store is now open. Backers got the big discounts but there are still some deals to be had and since I’m not a full-time artist this may be the only chance you’ll have to get these pins!
