Convention Cancellation Art Sale
5 years ago
General
Hey FA followers.
Just a quick update on our situation as we continue to work through the postponement of upcoming conventions, given that cons are our main source of income.
So far we are only directly affected by BLFC’s being pushed back to the end of October, but even at 2-3 months away, Anthrocon is still in question. Even if it isn’t cancelled or postponed, we have no idea how attendance or sales will be impacted, so we have to scramble to try and shore up enough income to last us through many months.
You might have already seen my post about the KIDPIX Commissions being offered. These have been a blast, and has already helped us to get a great head start on our goal of recovering what we would have made at BLFC in a normal year.
If KIDPIX isn’t your style—can't relate, but that's fine—Sasha and I are also running big sales on our sites! He’s been hard at work giving my website a major overhaul with a new Artwork directory on-site, and now has put together some really great deals on art offerings. Everything in the store is marked down, plus we’ve added in some speciality prints that are normally convention exclusives, given the unusual circumstances of the moment.
On top of that, we’re offering Free Shipping for the first time ever on orders over $60 when you use SHIP60 at check out.
Between the Kid Pix Commissions, the Sale, and the generosity of a couple of friends who donated to us without our asking, we’re already halfway to our initial goal! But we’ve still got a ways to go, and every little bit helps.
I do want to emphasize: first and foremost, no one is under an obligation to help us specifically out. We greatly appreciate any help that can be extended, and it always goes a long way. But these are strange times, and we encourage you to take care of your own needs first.
And, hey-- if you’re in quarantine (we’re practicing social distancing ourselves), feel free to come by the streams and socialize with us! We’d be glad to have you along and maybe it’ll make your days at home a little bit easier.
Thank you again to everyone for your continued support-- it means the world to us and makes everything we do possible.
Talk to you soon,
-J
