I'm Jordaan, a reconnecting Chickasaw artist. This is my 34th crowdfunding campaign, and I'm honored you're here.
This is a follow up to last year's Pintopia! Since last year, I've worked more on developing my sense of style as an artist, and I'm really excited about what I've put together this year. For this pin series, I'm putting a bigger focus on animals from the Pacific Northwest while also drawing inspiration from backer suggestions!
Thanks for stopping by and checking out the campaign! Now on to the pins!
Honestly, the best piece of feedback I received from last time was "I know it's not an animal, but I'd love to see corn in your style." So guess what folks? It's corn!
🌽 1" 🌽 Shiny gold metal 🌽 One pin post/clutch 🌽 Available as singles or as a set
These pin boards are handmade, measuring approximately 11"x12" (the sample is being shipped to me right now, I'll give it a proper measure once my hands are on it!) and will be available as an add-on and as part of the all-in tier. Thanks to the amazing Wayward Enigma for supplying them!
I heard y'all's feedback from last year - the bear paw was really heckin cool but fitting all the pins on it was like playing hardcore Tetris. So this year, I went with a more open design to accommodate more pins in different configurations.
Please do note that this is a production sample, and these pin boards are handmade/hand-assembled. If there are any major changes, those will be communicated via updates. But you should anticipate slight variations from sample photo to finished product.

Each stretch goal unlock will be voted on by backers. The hope is that we only have to dictate order and all get unlocked. But just in case, make sure you vote for your favorites! Below are designs for potential pins. Fingers crossed they can join the line up!
UPDATE
All designs have been unlocked! 🎉
The next couple stretch goals will not unlock new designs, but they now unlock upgrades on existing designs! Details of these stretch goals will be updated as backers vote. Base and upgraded pin designs will be available as options via pledge manager.

This year I'm participating in THREE different collaborations. Check out the sections below to find out how to get free pins, reduced shipping, and more!
I'm partnering with my good friend Max to bring y'all opportunities for even more free pins! If you back both my project and Max's Bookshelves for Bibliophiles, we'll reward you with two free pins!

This project is part of the Nautical Banner! This is a category in Pintopia full of water themed projects. If you like my work, you should definitely check out the others. Additionally, if you back 3+ Nautical projects, you'll receive a free 3" sticker from each Nautical project you back!
Picture it. Sicily. 1922. Or in our case, small town in Washington state 2016.
Arledge Comics is turning 10 this year! 🎉 We started back in May 2016, and a whole decade of stories, art, ups and downs, we’re still here thanks to you - our backers. To say thank you for all the support over the years, we’re giving returning backers an exclusive collectible trading card with each of our BackerKit campaigns this year - and each card comes with a free digital comic, too! There are nine cards total, all illustrated by the incredible Melissa Capriglione, and when you collect them all, they fit together to form one complete scene. It’s our little anniversary thank you to the folks who’ve been with us along the way. 💖
Shipping costs will be charged to you SEPARATELY through your BackerKit survey.
Add on items may come with additional shipping costs depending on the final weight of your order.
All orders are shipped through USPS and come with tracking. International backers are responsible for their own country's VAT or import taxes/fees.
When shipping internationally we will make every effort to properly fill out customs forms. We will abide by your country's customs and shipping laws, which means we will denote the package value as the cost of your order, and mark it as merchandise. We are not responsible if your country holds your package and requires extra payment to release it.
Due to the ever-changing tariff landscape, we may experience fulfillment delays. Should this happen, we only ask for your patience as issues resolve.
This project is participating in the BackerKit event Pintopia 2026, a celebration of enamel pin, plushie and ITA bag project featuring an all-star lineup of creators crowdfunding together from January 22 – February 12, 2026.
