It's been a while, dudes. Figured it was time for another update lol

Last update I did I made mention of some "field tests" I was doing with the test stickers I bought through a third party. Again, just to reiterate, these tests are ultimately useless as I have no idea what kind of equipment that the third party is using and they could be subject to change at a moment's notice, but I figure as long as I buy through them and until I have my own sticker making equipment, it'll be beneficial to some degree to know what kind of quality their materials are, gnome sayin'? I want nothing but the best and will settle for nothing but the best for my supporters lol

That being said, here is the sticker I've had out in the desert sun for 6 months:

All things considered, the image is still somewhat legible. Faded and cracked a bit, caked in dirt some, but still legible after 6 months. I'm happy with it and will be moving on from here. Will mull over some other designs I've made and get the ball rolling on sticker production

I've saved up a small amount of funds to help build an inventory of goods for you guys, now I just gotta get those goods drawn up so I can get them off to the printers lol

There are currently 2 works in progress that I believe will make for some decent desk/card game mats. I'm hoping to have those done before July. If not, I have a few designs already established and posted here on SubStar that I can tweak and send off to the printers

The third party that I go through is a print on demand sorta deal- you give them a design and they slap it on a good gaggle of things, like clothes, pins, pillowcases, whatever else. As of right now, I've only bought the stickers through them. I like the quality of their print and as far as the stickers go I like the durability of the materials they use. However, what I don't like was the increased amount of spam calls I got a few days after I purchased those stickers. Nature of the beast now, I'm sure, but 19 calls in one afternoon got a little old really fast lmao

That being said, I'm gonna tough it out and see if I can't get the ball rolling on some desk/card game mats, more stickers, and possibly even those waifu pillowcases

Unfortunately, that's all I really have for you dudes. It's a slow process, I know, and it kinda sucks that it's taking as long as it is. The goal as of right now is to save as much as I can, get an inventory established, and start selling shit. I'll be mulling over a deadline for myself in the coming weeks to really light a fire under my ass

As it stands, currently, I'd say I'm 16% ready to have any sort of store front established and open for bidness

As always, I can't thank you enough for your continued support. If you like the work I do and wish to support me further, tell your friends about me and share my work with them. It truly means the world to me and I fear I'll never have the vocabulary to express how thankful I am for you and your continued support

Sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, thank you kindly
