Hi fish fries! September rewards were all finished and picked up yesterday and should be on the way to you now/should be arriving sometime this next week or so if you're located domestically/in the US!
I know there was a problem recently with the little stamp stickers making their escape so I took the time to stick them onto the back of some washi tape and stick the washi tape on the inner ends of the envelope before packing rewards! Please unpeel the washi from the envelope to reveal y...

Happy Sunday everyone! I'm working on reprinting these old collar pin designs I had made a few years ago--I still really like them and thought they would pair well with some of the whale apparel I've been making more of this year so I'm bringing them back!
On the topic of collar pins, I'm hoping to make a few more this year as well and wanted to see if you guys would like to see anything made with collar pins in particular! I'm not sure when I'll get around to making them but I definite...

Hi fish fries! There's just one more week until the end of August which means we are getting ready for October reward reveals!! Super exciting to be revealing 3 different rewards for the 3 product tiers we now have available, I hope you guys are as excited as I am! September's mini stamp sticker was a deep purple foil squid so for October's, our special little stamp sticker will feature a teal blue octopus! If you've been our sticker club tier starting in July, that means we are 4 months down...

Hello everyone! As we near the end of August, we grow closer and closer to the end of summer which I am a little sad about since it is my favourite season of the year :") I hope you guys had a chance to enjoy your summer as much as you can (within the limitations of COVID-19) and stayed cool all throughout the hectic heat waves if your area was hit with any 🔥! If summer's not your thing, that's cool too I hope you can look forward to the temperature drops that are hopefully expected to com...

Hello fish friends!
With autumn just around the corner, I am preparing the public shop for a special autumn release soon with restocks of my previously sold out sweaters (moon visitors in navy, coffee break, mola mola, sleeping with the fishes!), cardigans (moon manta & moon visitor in navy) and berets (koi pond serenity & cetacea de la moon) along with some new releases (button up t-shirts!!). I was hoping to ask if there's anything new you would possibly like to se...

Hi fish fries, sorry for the late night update, just wanted to share these with you all! I've been working on releasing new sketchbooks and wanted to work with square ones again (the feeling of square sketchbooks is so satisfying?? is it just me do I just really like square shapes LMAO 💦💦)! The last time I made square sketchbooks was back in 2018 when I made them for the first time featuring my first original project which I titled "Centre of the Universe" (the last two photos) which I ...

Hi fish fries! Since all sticker club rewards have been sent out already, I wanted to post some notes that I took while doing research for August & September's deluxe cards!
I wanted to focus on orca ecotypes because I found it absolutely fascinating specific orca pods have defining characteristics that aren't notably found in other pods! Many factors including where they live and what they eat can determine their behavior has a group.
If you live in North America, speci...

Hi fish fries! I'm sure some of you might have received your August rewards already but I just finished packing and sending out the last of the patreon rewards today! Please keep an eye out and I'm keeping my fins crossed that they come to you safe and sound!
As always, the stamp stickers are always super small so please keep an eye out for them to make sure they don't slip out and run away!! They're a little smaller than your fingernail and I've noticed they like to hide in the corners...

I'm gonna be working ahead on October's DELUXE club rewards so I wanted to set up a poll and ask: what do you guys want to learn about in October!
For August & September we learned about the 10 orca ecotypes, split up between the Northern & Southern Hemisphere! Not sure how often I will be splitting up information between one species between different cards (if I do, I'd like to keep it between two months minimum like with the orcas)! But I've left some suggestions on some stuff...

Hi ya'll! I know the Umvvelt Pin Club won't be here until a lil while longer--but I wanted and decided to test produce one of the pin designs I had in mind! This one's for the great white, the sample pin club design I had included in my initial comparision with the deluxe sticker club on that poll post a while back!
So far, the pin production is going about as slow as I expected-- I placed the order for these on 06/22/2020 and got a photo sample for the finished pin (excluding scr...

The clear sticker sheets for August's deluxe club are finally here! They came in just this morning and I'm super thankful since I really wanted to get to showing these to you guys before the end of the month so you know what to expect!
I printed these stickers with clear vinyl so you can stick them on anything (I love the clear effects, I just can't get over them) since they're waterproof as well! The individual stickers range from about 4-5cm which I found makes them the perfect ...

09.08.2020 Hi everyone!!! I got the samples in hand today and I can't tell you how excited I am for them!! I realize it's a little late for the ~Summer Button Up~ season but I don't care!!! I was a little antsy to see how these turned out but I am in love with the quality and the colors of them 🥺 The jellies did turn out looking pixelated (I'm not sure what happened with the file) but I really like the pixelated look so I'll be most likely keeping it so I also don't have to prolong the sto...

08.13.2020 UPDATE: Hi hi! I finally got these samples in today for my embroidered berets! Unfortunately the ribbon extension they picked out was not the color I wanted but is thankfully removable so I just took them off for the photos! I'm really happy with how both look and was a little anxious since it took a while for samples to be made (around 3 weeks ish, which is what I'd normally expect the bulk production turn around times to be).
It looks like they went further with the koi-pon...

Hi pals!! A few of you messaged me asking if there was any way to combine the sticker club with the deluxe so you can receive the standard club's vinyl sticker and the postcard+sticker sheet in one!
It was something I didn't think about or wasn't sure if anyone would be interested, but if you would like to continue receiving the standard sticker club rewards, just add +3$ to your current pledge in the sticker club deluxe (so you would be pledging a total of 18$ instead of 15$)! I hope t...

Along with that, the first month you join your sticker club you'll receive an official ...
