My name is Jordaan, the founder of Arledge Comics and lead pin designer. We've been publishing comics and designing enamel pins since 2016 - with twenty-six crowdfunding campaigns under our belt! We're so excited to share our latest design with you all. <3
We chose a mash up of mental health and dice to highlight just how beneficial role play has proven to be for those struggling with mental health. Primarily, it creates a safe, low-risk environment to practice coping skills or to process important feelings and internal conflicts. Our hope in shining a spotlight on this unlikely collaboration, is to bring more awareness to the benefits of role play - specifically TTRPG - and encourage folks to give it a try.
Plus, my fellow ADHD'ers, the shiny math rocks give a satisfying click clack.
The overall design of the pins is twofold. Firstly, I love a good pun. The cadence of ADHD&D or OCD&D is really satisfying. But, secondly, that &D is also a reminder that you're not alone. None of us are.
We believe so strongly in this, that we'll be donating a portion of proceeds from each pin sale to The Trevor Project.
While developing these pin designs, a friend jokingly suggested a "Buddy & D" pin. That's how this little guy came to be. Our community goal pin will unlock once our campaign reaches 50 backers. Once unlocked, it can be added as an add-on either during the campaign or during the post campaign survey.
The design is currently unfinished because the final design will be determined by you!
The dice color will be put to a vote, as will the additional effect: either glitter or glow in the dark!
Free stickers will be added to all pledges of $30 or more. The first is featured below, and more sticker designs are to come. You can get a total of five (5) free stickers. See our FAQ and update for more information. <3
Founded in 2016 by Chickasaw siblings, Arledge Comics started as a hobby and became the home of the critically acclaimed ALEX PRIEST. Since its inception, Arledge Comics has grown to include a number of anthologies, – including TRIAL RUN, MY KINGDOM FOR A PANEL, and STRANGE WATERS – and creator owned comics (like NO GOING BACK and SHUFFLE). Native founded, queer owned and operated: our mission is to create inclusive comics for the whole family to enjoy. And, hey, we design pins, too!
Welcome to Pintopia — a celebration of creativity and collaboration from a diverse group of artists collectively running enamel pin crowdfunding projects from March 28th -April 18th.
Freebie Cross-Collaboration Pins — All 125+ Pintopia creators have paired up with a fellow participant to create two unique pin designs together. If BOTH projects reach their initial funding goal, backers who support BOTH will get the TWO [2] cross-collab pins for FREE! One from each creator. The more pairs of Pintopia creators you support, the more free pins you will earn ✨
Here's some campaigns I backed that maybe you'll like, too!
