Hello Friends,
Wow, yesterday we had our best day of the campaign, smashing all the way through our goal and hitting around $1750. This was unexpected, but super exciting! Thank you all so much, we did it!
I sent the designs to Galaxy Design Squad last night so we can streamline the process of getting the pins made. In the meantime, time to start talking about some stretch goals!
At $2000, everyone gets a free sticker (to be determined by backer poll attached below)
At $2500, we'll send a free digital copy of our comic Frankenstein the Unconquered #1 to all our backers
At $3000, we'll send everyone a new sticker based on the original "Tummy Ache Survivor" design (originally the eel was a lot cuter and less of a menace)
Any more than that and I will be absolutely blown away and have to come up with some new designs to make pins out of.
We've got 8 days left and anything is possible, so let's shoot for the moon!

Hello Friends,
We have 9 days left in the campaign and need less than $250 to hit our goal! We are so close to our goal, I'm tempted to just send the designs to the manufacturer now; however, I can't do that until we cross the line. All we need is around 10 more backers!
To help close this thing out, I'll make you a deal. If you have a friend or loved one that you think would like our pins and they support the campaign because you told them about it, let me know and I'll give you a little something extra for free. I've got a lot of stickers, pins, and prints from former campaigns and I'd love to give some stuff away!
I appreciate all of your support so far and I'm looking forward to holding these pins in my hand for the first time. Let's crush this goal!

Halfway through and creeping close!

Hello Friends,
We are halfway through our campaign with just over two weeks left and we've reached 75% of our funding goal! We need less than $400 to close out our goal and send the designs to Galaxy, which is super exciting and hopefully means we can deliver even sooner than our estimated date.
I've said it before, every single backer counts in this campaign especially and we're so incredibly grateful to everyone who's backed so far (particularly those showing up from previous campaigns). I love the response we're getting from these designs and it makes me super happy to see people click with the vibes we're putting out: The world is weird and you're doing your best, so be kind to yourself and celebrate your wins.
Let's continue to spread the word, tell our friends, bother people in the street, and do whatever we can to get these pins made! Looking forward to sending out the "funded" update.

Hello Friends,
We're a little over a week into the campaign and we're approaching 60% of our funding level, which is fantastic!
While I am fully expecting us to slow our momentum a little bit as we head into the middle section of the campaign, I have no doubt we'll be able to clear our goal and will be posting every day and standing outside my house with a sign to make sure we hit our funding as quickly as possible.
A big thanks to those of you who are also checking out the comics and anthologies we have available, as well as those that are posting and reposting about the campaign. Every set of eyes matters on a campaign this small and we can't do this without you!
Let's get this to it's goal soon so we can send the designs over to Galaxy!

Great Start for a Small Campaign!

Hello Friends!
I wanted to thank all of you for supporting our enamel pins early! This is a bit of a swerve for us since we mostly work on comics, but we loved this idea and we knew there would be a lot of people that vibe with the designs.
We're already 1/3rd of the way to our goal and I have no doubt we'll be able to clear it. Until then, spread the word and help us hit our goal early so we can think about stretch goals (maybe we'll even make a new design!).
Thanks again!
Wells Thompson
