ONLINE SHOP LAUNCH!!?
Added 2020-12-03 02:39:34 +0000 UTC
Today, I bring you an exciting announcement: I've opened an online shop! This is going to be a long post with a lot of information, so I'll start with the most important things to know:
Right now, my shop is U.S. shipping only! International patrons who want to place an order, please message me and hopefully we can work something out.
All patrons get a 15% discount on your entire order! Use the code "PATRONPERFECT" at checkout to receive the discount. This is a patrons-only benefit, so please don't share it!
If you purchase a copy of The Christmas Creature and would like me to sign and doodle in it, please add a note during checkout.
If you want a copy of The Christmas Creature in time for Christmas, I recommend you buy it as soon as possible (more on that below).
Now that's out of the way, here's a bit more info about the items:
I have a few of the apothecary sticker sheets up for sale, as I accidentally printed more than I needed in October.
The Angel Crossing riso prints I had made a while back are now up for sale. Prints will be mailed via USPS priority to avoid damage, so the shipping cost for the print is higher than other items.
And now for some exciting news in regards to The Christmas Creature......
If you haven't seen my weird Christmas poem from 2019, check out my instagram tomorrow as I'll be reposting it there. ORRR... You can wait until Friday, when Hank Green will be posting a narration on the Vlogbrothers youtube channel!!!
This project was somehow both a long time coming and very last minute, but it appears it is actually happening. After speaking with Hank and some folks at DFTBA, it seems likely that my initial print run of 200 books (the most I could afford to print myself) will sell out pretty quickly after the Friday video is published. (I'm cringing a little saying that, because what if it doesn't? But there are 3.32 million people subscribed to vlogbrothers, so, I mean... Probably?)
Once the books in my online shop sell out, DFTBA will open up a preorder on their site for a second print run. This second print run will absolutely not arrive until early 2021, so if you want a copy for Christmas this year, I recommend you buy it from my shop before this Friday.
The reason I am handing off the second printing to DFTBA is because they will be able to handle a much larger amount of inventory, as well as ship internationally. If you miss out of the first print run, don't worry, because patrons will also get a 15% discount from my DFTBA shop as well!
I wanted to get an online shop up a lot sooner, but frankly everything happens so much and it is all happening at once. But for now, I bask in excitement! I have wanted to open an online shop for -years- but never really got around to it. I never felt ready. This Patreon endeavor has made me feel a lot more confident about my abilities as both an artist and a business-haver, so thank you all so, so much :' )
