So what with the world being the world, and projects being added to my schedule that require immediate action, I’ve been a bit slow in getting planned merchandise into the Jigsaw store. But those winter holidays are coming up, and I figured I really ought to get cracking.
First off, stickers.
Durable, nigh-weatherproof vinyl stickers. White and black ink on clear, so the edges of the sticker vanish around the card itself. Contagious Graphics did these, and they were also responsible for all the stickers back at 305 South years ago; I can tell you, after years on the back of my (black) Scion, the ink of many other stickers has faded, and a few stickers have started peeling and looking ratty. The Contagious Graphics stickers are pristine.
Unsure as of yet as to the distribution channels for these stickers. For now, probably just if you see me, I’ll give you one, or if you order something, you’ll get one included. It doesn’t really fall under the Etsy terms of use, so until I get a stand-alone storefront, they’ll probably just be special gifts.
Here’s a close-up of the sticker image:
Of course, stickers are exciting and everything, but I’ve been burying the lead a bit, because I just finished the prototype for the Milton Inertia Figure.
Not really an action figure, though the arms and legs are bendy. Pretty much it is a nice object that will tend to stay at rest, unless sufficient force is exerted upon it to cause it to go against that tendency. Much like Milton himself.
These will all be hand-made my me, so quantities will depend on time and materials. I hope to get a handful of these done in the next couple weeks, enough time for people to give them as gifts during December holiday things. If I’m feeling incredibly productive (read: unemployed), I may also do another run of the Jigsaw Tree Ornament Things from a few years back. No promises on that, but it wouldn’t shock me.
IF YOU WISH TO PREORDER either of these things, you should drop me a line. Pricing is still TBD (I haven’t done all the math I need to do to set a price), but it’ll likely fall between $15-$20.
Dat’s it. Episode tomorrow should prove to be a super-quick one, as I’ve got Film Festival stuff all weekend. Paying job, unfortunately, does occasionally take precedence.
