December Pins Done!

Hi, all!

I am sooo pleased with the December pins!! They will be shipped within the first week or two of December! We dropped under $1,500 and normally that means the Free Sticker is no longer unlocked but I will be including them anyways! My Christmas gift for you guys! <3

I think my Patrons seem to prefer Anxiety Fox and Kaiju Corgi pins rather than dogs, after reviewing the drop in pledges. This is TOTALLY okay, BTW!!! I just want to make sure you guys get pins you would lo...

I also finished a commission and wanted to share the PSD! :) I work on Art Studio Pro on my iPad and I basically.. work exclusively on it now, haha! If you have any questions on my progress, let me know!!

I think I may do a bi...

Hi, all!

I got the October pins and they will be shipped out by Saturday to you all! I just packaged them all up (finishing International tomorrow) so woo! 

 I am soooooo pleased with how they came out and how opaque the color effect is! Once you charge it (I stick it under my phone light for a minute), it really glows bright! Glow in the dark pins can be a hit or miss but I am so happy with how these came out ! I hope you all look forward to them!

If you missed th...

Anxiety Fox Ita Bag Done + October Pins done!

Hi, all!

The Anxiety Fox ita bag sample is done and I am soooo pleased with how it came out! It is even better than I envisioned and I literally screamed when I was shown the finished sample! I apologize for the low quality factory photos. Once the sample arrives, I will take better photos with a model or two and begin preparing for how I will handle pre-orders. The zipper pull is CUSTOM for this bag! It is a tear dropped shape and I am soo happy I took the time to add this extra detail...

Finished Japanese Akita Plush Prototypes + Ita Bag Progress

Hi, all!

The Japanese Akita plush toy keychains are done and they're sooo cute! I need to see them in person to make sure they're 100% to my standards before production but I am so pleased! I maayyy change the faces a bit (so they appear more "big dog" then shiba) so once/ if I make that decision, I will share the redlines. I cant wait to hold them!

The front of the ita bag + the tail is done and.. ahH! I am so excited to see the completed prototype! I was told this will be done A...

September Pins Packaged and Shipping Tomorrow!

Hi, all!

Hi, all!

The September pins should be shipping very soon! I am waiting for the pins + stickers to arrive. As always, once they arrive, I will ship them out the same day or next! I actually LOOOVE shipping day since it is so relaxing to packaging 160+ packages, oddly enough, haha!

Japanese Akita Plush Toy Prototype progress!

Hi, guys!

Here is more progress on the Japanese Akita plush toys! The factory decided to size them up to 5 inches and I think it helps a lot!! We are SUPER close for a 2nd pass but the new revisions should help a lot! I wanted to attach how I normally approach revisions as well.

For the brindle, I will add more stripes to the side of the body since it looks pretty bare.

Pre-orders will begin once I approve the prototypes! A portion of sales will be donated to the Japanese Ak...

New Anxiety Fox merch in the works!

Hi, all!

In addition to currently planning more stationery goods like additional washi tape and memo pads of Anxiety Fox & Friends and Kaiju Corgi, I have another exciting item in the works.. if you're on the discord channel, you already know.. an Anxiety Fox ita bag!

I always wanted to make one but kept putting it off.. until I realized how MANY Anxiety Fox enamel pins I have had produced, ah! After drafting out ideas, I have finally came up with an idea I really liked, as we...

Japanese Akita Inu Plush Keychain Concepts!

Hi, all!

The stickers for the August pins should be here any day now! Once they come, I will spend the day packaging so I can get them all out the same day or the next day the latest!

I wanted to share the concept art for two little plush keychains I'm making.. Japanese Akita!  They will be 4 inches or so tall and the brindle will be printed minky. I am hoping that we can use stretchy minky so I need to cross my fingers.. haha! If all goes well and I like the samples, they wi...

Tracking Emails!

I AM SOOOO happy that Patreon shipment emails FINALLY worked! You should have all received an email from Ship Pirate with your tracking. Keep in mind that they won't ship until next week so don't be started that the shipping label has no movement. This was sooo frustrating so I am reliev...

September Pin!

Hi, all!

Here is the September pin! I am so excited to finally do a "bottled up" style pin and I felt Calming Kitty floating in space was a good way to express the character. The enamel will be silver and it will be 1.75 tall! It will also include the sticker as well!

This month's August Pins should be finished any day so once they're done, I will update you all!

Also, sooo sorry for being so quiet on stuff! This Kickstarter took so much time to manage after it ended! With t...

July Pins Shipped!

Hi, all!

All July pins have been shipped and it looks like Stamps.com didn't send trackings out AGAIN.. I am to the point I may switch to Ship Station since this is getting frustrating, since I manually input all the emails into each label and they SHOULD be getting tracking numbers automatically emailed to you. I am so sorry about the issues, everyone, ah!

 It looks like they're already on transit so if you want your tracking, feel free to message me and I'll be happy to mes...

Memo Pads on Shop!

Hi, all!

Memopads are in and I LOVE THEM SO MUCH! They are slightly less bright in person so don't worry, they aren't that dark! You can purchase them on my Patreon shop! I am not sure whether or not to put them on my regular shop due to me needing to pay my Fulfillment center. They are $5 on my Patreon shop, versus maybe $7-8 I will charge for my main shop.

I hope you like them as much as I do! I should be getting the July pins in this week and I will fulfill all orders the momen...

Custom enamel pins/ charms for Patreons!

Hi, all!

I wanted to share with you all some custom enamel pins and charms I am producing for a Patreon! It is a lot of fun and I wanted to offer this service for the rest of you as well! I think I will keep this a Patreon only perk.

Artwork is $75 and from there, it is the cost of producing the enamel pins or charms. Enamel pins usually run at $250-300 for 100 pieces (unfortunately, there is a 100 minimum with my factory) and Acyrlic charms are $2-3 a piece plus shipping. Of cour...

Concept art for new Anxiety Fox friends!

Hi, all!

Thanks for being such incredible people! I wanted to share concept art for new Anxiety Fox friends.. Puppy and Cat! So far, both designs are VERY close to completion but I wanted to doodle them more before making them official.

The last two sketches of Cat were already posted online a few days ago but I was hush hush about them being in the Anxiety Fox world.. haha! 

Puppy explores ADHD (something I was diagnosed with last year). They are extremely s...

Shipping Notifications!

Hi, all!

Heads up that you all will receive a shipping notification through Stamps.com today! The pins wont be shipping until a few days later. The reason why I am getting all labels done right now is because of severe thunder storms all week so I want to make sure I got all the labels done in the off chance we get power outages.

Thank you! Once all pins + shop orders are out officially, I will make another status!
