keep on going

Hello everyone!

Last year I started designing a series of Coat of Arms, themed in the spirit of Pride Month and using different mythological creatures as heraldic animals. I now aim to turn these designs into wearable pins and will be running a Kickstarter in Julyto fund this endeavor!

In addition to these 5 designs I wish to be able to crowdfund enough to be able to also manufacture the following pins and identities:

I have found a very trustworthy local manufacturer, who has already shown the quality of their craftsmanship with the first batch of test pins I received, just look at the detail they were able to produce!

Since I try to support local manufacturers, which produce pins with fair wages and are more ethical than outside of Europe, the pins are more expensive to create than through the usual pipeline via Asia.

I therefore seek to crowdfund the expenses since they would be more than I can afford. If you are interested and look forward to support this little endeavor, please follow the link below to sign up for a mailing list. People who signed up on the email list and pledged during the campaign will receive an exclusive sticker set by the end of a successful launch consisting of the following designs:

a father, kind to a fault, but as skilled a liar as his rascal brother. haunted by death, an actor with everything to lose. he knows how to swordfight because he was a child soldier, but his only experience in twenty years is with stage foils. war is in your blood, though, and he hasn't forgotten. that blade at his side isn't just for show, no matter how convincing his harmless family man act is, and his magic is far more than smoke and mirrors.

a hillbilly wizard--brilliant, a new breed of magician in this new world. a sense of justice as subtle as a sledgehammer and the temperament to match. she's short, she's topheavy, and she's sure as hell gonna get shit done. she can see into the fabric of reality. she hasn't slept in four days. she's got the shittiest boss in the world. despite everything, she still believes in the beauty of magic in this fresh new world. the universe speaks to her and she speaks back: brash, bawdy, and smarter than anyone expects.

a tortured survivor. his very magic is built on memories. who is he without what he has lost? sunset eyes, shining armor, and a heavy grief--he had to grow into them all. he's the man with a plan. a perfect soldier, if you ignore the sedition. he's got a revolutionary heart, and the war hasn't left him, either. he is still trying to take the world on his shoulders, and he is so very young. he was ready to die for the man he idealized. he thinks his life is worth less than his heroes. who's going to tell him he's a hero himself?
