Latest Updates from Our Project:

Shipping Update: A bit behind schedule, but fulfillment will be soon!
4 months ago – Fri, Nov 21, 2025 at 01:08:08 PM

Hey y'all,

I'm so sorry for the lack of updates on this! I have been working on fulfilling my Pintopia 2025 project and that has been a much larger task than I anticipated. We are currently running a bit behind schedule but all the pins have arrived and fulfillment will begin soon. I will be charging cards over the weekend and locking addresses next week, so please make any address updates before then.

Here's a look at how the pins turned out. The scene pins don't fit perfectly flush into the frames (which may have been a communication error on my side when working with my manufacturer), but they're still very functional and will be secure once you put the pin backs on. Apologies if the eyes on the Forest Spirit mini pins are also a bit difficult to see in the pictures since they're such fine details.



Again, I'm sorry for the delays and thank you for your patience!

Post-Campaign Updates: Surveys coming soon!

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the silence after this campaign ended - I moved houses last month and got pretty sick immediately after. I'm starting to feel better and getting back into the swing of things. I plan on sending out smoke test surveys for this campaign by the end of next week and am working with my manufacturer to get started on pins.

Thanks for your support and patience,

Max


Funding Update: Mining and Jellyfish scenes unlocked! Barnyard animals coming next 🐄🌾🐓🍂

Hi everyone,

The "Early Bird" period has ended and we've already funded this first two stretch goals - unlocking one more frame and two more scene options! This means that everyone now has six combinations to choose from when mixing and matching their pins. We're also on our way to funding the next goal, which will unlock a new scene with two color variants.
 



Thank you all for supporting this campaign!

Max

Campaign funded! Don't miss out on FREE mini pins 🐣🌾🐄
10 months ago – Tue, Jun 10, 2025 at 02:03:35 PM

Hi everyone,

 My latest project, Scenes From The Valley launched this morning as part of the artist-lead Pin Quest: Myths and Monsters collaborative event. It's only be a few hours and the campaign has reached its initial funding goal!

This campaign features a collection of hand drawn scenes inspired by journeys as a farmer in a cozy video game world. Think of each scene as a snapshot in time - from the magical wizard's tower, to the monster in the mines, and the annual arrival of moonlight jellyfish on the pier. Choose a scene, customize it with your favorite frame pin, and collect mini stamps along the way. 

What's unlocked?


The campaign has funded, which means that the initial designs have been unlocked! There are still a lot more content to unlock and we're already on our way to the first stretch goal.

Don't miss out on the mini pins...

This campaign has several freebies - including screen printed FREE mini pins for qualifying backers!

  • Early Bird backers who support the campaign in the first 48 hours will receive the chicken mini pin. 
  • Pin Quest backers who support 3+ participating campaigns, including this one, will receive the sewer monster mini pin.
With love and creativity,

Max

Hi everyone,

I wanted to provide a little sneak previews for Scenes from the Valley, which will be launching next month as part of the Pin Quest collaborative event. This project is inspired by one of my favorite cozy video games and will feature three different sizes of enamel pins. The campaign will have lots of freebies - including mini pins for early bird backers in the first 48 hours.




I hope to see you when the campaign launches!
