Greetings campaign followers, I have a quick announcement for you. The preorder store is now closed to finalize item counts. If you missed the campaign and preorder store but still wanted any of these items, you will be able to purchase leftovers of my design from my
shop once campaign fulfillment is complete; and guest artist items from their respective artists. The ETA for that is
June 2024. Thanks for following the campaign!
If you are a backer, please read the backers-only section below for additional updates.

The campaign has concluded! Thank you so much to everyone who followed, shared, pledged, and commented. We’re so grateful for your support, we couldn't have funded all these pins without you.
Backers can read the backers only section below for information on surveys and more.
The
preorder store on Backerkit is now open if you missed the campaign. The preorder store will close in about three weeks on
May 11.
If you missed the campaign, the preorder store is your last chance to get the pins and other items at discounted prices; and please note, you will not receive any campaign freebies. If you were waiting to preorder the fanart or recolor pins, now is your chance. Be sure to place your orders before the store closes!
If you're interested in updates but aren't a backer, consider following me on the social media platform of your choice. You can find links on
Linktree. You can also follow the guest artists on their social media:
That's all I have for this update. Have a wonderful rest of your week!

Hello angel enthusiasts, we're nearing the end of the Angelology IV campaign, which will be ending tomorrow,
Thursday April 18 at 1PM PST. Here is our final recap of
pins we have funded so far, now including the
Eldritch Saints and
Angelology III recolors!
We have the
Spiderverse pins left to fund. If these aren't funded by the end, they will be available to unlock in the survey/preorder store based on order quantity.
In advance of the campaign's end, make sure you have an
accessible email associated with your Backerkit account. This is the email the Backerkit survey will be sent to, and you may miss out on the survey if you can’t access this email.
Additionally, please double-check your payment information is correct and valid, to avoid an errored payment.
Please remember that shipping will be charged after the campaign as part of the survey. Here are the shipping rates. Again, please be aware that you will need to pay these on top of your pledge amount.
- United States $5
- Mexico $17
- Canada $17
- Australia $21
- UK $20
- All other countries $21
That’s all for this update. As always let me know in the comments if you have any questions. I’ll see you all at the finish line!
End of Week Three

Hello angel enthusiasts! It's the end of week three, time for our weekly recap. Here are all the pins that we have funded, now including the BG3 pins!
And our next funding goal is the
Eldritch Saints recolors at
$16K. Remember, if these are funded during the campaign, backers can pledge for them at the discounted price of
$15 instead of the preorder price of
$16-18. If we don't reach this goal, these designs will be available to unlock in the survey/preorder store based on order quantity per design.
And finally in campaign news, I finished the artwork for the freebie postcard! I tried something new and made it in a lineless style. For this piece I was inspired by the
Chicxulub Asteroid, which caused the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event - aka. extinction of the dinosaurs.
Next week is the final week of the campaign, ending on
Thursday, April 18. Backerkit will be sending out an automated reminder (if you've pledged to other Pintopia campaigns, be prepared for those), and I'll follow up with one last recap as well.
Looking AheadI thought I'd share a little bit of my crowdfunding plans. If you haven't heard already, my next campaign after Angelology IV will be Pride Angels, you can read about it on its
pre-launch page. I'd like to launch it during June, which is Pride Month, but that might overlap with Angelology IV so I'll see how things go!
After that I'm not too sure what, if any, pin campaign I'll run next. I have two ideas but I'm trying to decide if it's better to self-fund a small amount of pins, open preorders or a pin club, or run crowdfunding campaigns instead. Since you all have backed this campaign I'm going to assume you like crowdfunding, but you can give your input in the comments. Or vote in the
poll I published!
Anyway, my two ideas are:
-
Themed Monster Enamel Pins - monsters themed after different aesthetics such as Victorian Gothic, Rococo, Medieval, etc. If you saw my Cowboy and Film Noir Monsters pins, this campaign would be in the same vein as those, and those pins would be made available in new colors.
-
Blood and Holy Water - vampire and angel themed pins. I feel like there's shared imagery between vampires and angels and it would be neat to make pins for that. I'll be working on these during this year's Angeltober. (What is Angeltober you might be asking? It is my annual October art challenge themed after angels. You can find the previous prompts here: 2021, 2022, 2023)
Which idea sounds more appealing? Do you prefer crowdfunding or another method of funding pins? Let me know in the comments or this
poll if you'd like :))
Have a wonderful rest of your weekend!
