Wrappin’ it up
General | Posted 10 years agoMy long backlog of orders is nearly complete! I only have about a week or two left. When that’s done, I’ll inevitably have a few gallons of silicone left over. May as well use it up, because that stuff expires.
So while my dong models make their merry way over to DamnAverage, here are three ideas to get rid of the remaining silicone:
1) Any dong, any coloration, $100. You’d be limited as to which firmness is available.
2) Auction off slots on FA (or Tumblr if it’s even possible), something like “any dildo you’d like, any colors, long as it’s 00-50 firmness.”
3) Just make a bunch of various dongers from what I’ve got left and sell ‘em on Etsy / auction ‘em away.
Tell me what you think, and if you have any ideas of your own!

Succession
General | Posted 10 years agoAs I mentioned 3 months ago, I'll soon stop selling dildos. I've come to an agreement with my friend damnaverage to ensure that the designs will keep getting made! Here are the plans:
* I am going to do a small order or two once the current set is done to use up as much of my remaining silicone as I can.
* I will send DA my clay dongmodels so that they may re-make them or make molds from them as needed.
* I will keep my existing molds and make up to 50 dongs per year for close friends as gifts (or for myself, I suppose).
What does this mean for you?
* I will finish my existing orders first. If you've already ordered from me, you don't have to change anything.
* You can continue to buy the dongs you see here on my page. You'll just be buying from DA instead of me. I don't want the designs to disappear!
* In all likelihood, you're going to end up with better dongs because DA is a fantastic artist and has so much more experience than me.
Now, if you commissioned the original for any of these designs:
* If you're fine with DA producing them instead of me, you don't have to do anything.
* If you do NOT want DA producing the design you commissioned, send me a note here ASAP and we can discuss it.
Thanks, everyone, for your support :) Look forward to some small openings in the coming weeks.

Important question
General | Posted 10 years agoSo I gotta ask, because this confused me a lot last year. How the hell are you supposed to go to the bathroom in a fursuit? You don't have proper clothes underneath, the zipper's nowhere near your crotch, and there are no bathrooms in the headless lounge. Going to my hotel room's not an option, either.
Down to the top five!
General | Posted 10 years agoI had 33 people enter my Furpocalypse contest, and I’ve somehow managed to narrow them down to five finalists. If I had unlimited time and money, I’d love to meet all 33 of you!
In the interest of maintaining privacy, I’m not listing the five here, but I have notified them in private. This means, if you haven’t gotten a note from me saying you’re not in the top five, ya didn’t quite make it. No worries, though; it’s been great getting to know you, and I hope we can keep in touch!
Also, to the 28 of you who didn’t get picked, you can have 2 free firmness fish along with free shipping within the US. If you’re outside the US, the shipping’s not free, but it should be cheap. Hit me up for yer free fish.
Thanks again!

First cut
General | Posted 10 years agoI’ve had a ton of interest in my Furpocalypse contest - about 30 people. Everyone should’ve gotten a questionnaire, and most of you have answered. Tomorrow, I’m going to start narrowing down the field (preferably to about five people).
If you don’t make the cut, it’s not that I don’t like you or something! I’m just trying to pick the people who will have the most fun here :) In any case, anyone who didn’t get picked will get a small bonus prize just for applying. I’ve got a ton of fish left over, so maybe I’ll mail out some free fish.
Edit: Gonna give y'all a liiiiittle bit longer because some folks haven't responded.

Want to go to Furpocalypse for free?
General | Posted 10 years agoThere's a con nearby, and it's Halloween-themed. It takes place October 30 - November 1 (Friday-Sunday). The website is https://furpocalypse.org/
DO YOU WANT TO GO?
We've got a spare bedroom and we traditionally host one or two people a year, paying for plane tickets, con admission, and food. It's a pretty rad experience. I'll also be teaching a dildo-making class at the con, and of course you'd get to visit my dicklab.
If you're interested, shoot me a note! And don't be shy. Well, ok, you might want to be shy; I am a stranger from the internet, after all.

All Good Things
General | Posted 10 years agoThose of you who’ve gotten to know me well understand that this hobby of mine’s got its ups and downs. I’ve met a ton of great people, I’ve learned so much, and I’ve made enough money for a few nice dinners with my wife. On the other hand, depression and some other health problems have been creeping back into my life in a big way, and the added stress of a 10-hour-a-week dickmaking hobby on top of my two real jobs doesn’t really help.
This will be my last full round of orders here. After they’re done, I’ll take smaller batches until I’ve used up all the silicone I have on hand. And once that’s gone, I’m looking for a plan that’ll let the designs stay alive - and perhaps let me make one or two more a month, if I’m feeling up to it.
Of course, they’re not all MY designs, are they? A few of the designs (twin spiral knot and sharkplug, for example) are 100% my work. Most of them, though, were commissioned by friends, so it’d be selfish of me to just sell the molds to someone else. I’m trying to work out an arrangement that’ll please as many people as I can.
Anyway, I’m sure a lot of you are going to be really upset with me, and I’ve been dreading posting this. You’ve been fantastic friends, and it’s been wonderful working with you. I only wish I had the fortitude to keep this going forever.

But it's ok - I'm still somewhat younger than the age of the Earth.

Financial info
General | Posted 11 years agoI finished tallying up my dong-related income and expenditures for tax purposes. I figured I’d share because I’m all about transparency and because I’d like you to know your money’s not going to drug-fueled orgies :)
Total dong-related income for 2014 was about $12,600.
Total dong-related expenditures for 2014 were about $14,000.
My loss, then, was about $1,400, and I have about $1,000 of materials, another $1,000 of equipment, plus however much the molds are worth.
That’s not nearly as bad as it seems - like I said, I gave too much stuff away for free (or very cheap) at first, and I got those one-time expenses (like the vacuum chambers) out of the way. I expect I’ll make a grand or two in 2015, which should make up for last year’s losses.
Thanks to everyone who’s bought dildos from me - you’re supporting a total amateur who’s not in it for the money, as these figures prove. This is something I love doing. I am not looking for donations! I have two good jobs, and dildomancy is just a hobby.
And for those who are very curious about how the expenses break down, here’s some bullets:
$8900 to Smooth-On for silicone, some pigments, and release agent
$410 for other pigments (sparklies) from other companies
$1350 to Amazon for vacuum chambers, pumps, mixing bowls, and clay
$2700 to USPS for shipping
$125 for various electronics and power tools from a few sources
$275 for shipping materials
$185 for other hardware
