Time flies and we're officially into the final week of this campaign, which ends on Thursday, February 13 at 1:00 p.m. PST! That's one week from today!
A brief look at what to expect in today's update:

Final Week Goals!
If you missed the update earlier this week, here's your reminder that not only have all six main pins been unlocked but I've also added on a sticker tier and add-ons! We're bringing these pins to life, and I can't wait to see them in person and share them with all of you!
That said, we still have some work to do in these final days, and we'll be pushing hard to unlock as much as we can:
Just 26 backers away from unlocking our "Support Human Artists" pin!
Additional stretch goals, including a set of three hard enamel mini pins!
Our three to-be-unlocked stretch goals!
Want to help spread the word? Sharing the campaign or boostingsocialposts can be a huge help! It gets more eyes on these pins and increases our chances of unlocking everything even sooner.
Poll: Favorite Convention Activity (and a Spotlight on the "Collector" tier)
A huge thank you to everyone who voted in the last poll! I loved seeing which of these current pins connect with your convention experience the most.
As we head into these final days, I wanted to call attention to the "Collector" pledge tier. The "Collector" is limited to five pledges total and includes:
Six (6) pins of your choice from the unlocked regular campaign designs
One (1) "Support Human Artists" pin (if unlocked)
Seven (7) stickers of your choice
A set of mini pins (if unlocked)
One (1) adventure coin (if unlocked)
One (1) 4"x6" original charcoal drawing, matted to 5"x7", of the two pin characters enjoying a convention activity (please review the guidelines listed in the campaign)
This is my "all in" pledge tier, effectively including all the campaign pieces that get unlocked, plus a little extra in thanks for supporting my work. I rarely offer commissions of my work right now, but charcoal drawings are also what I'm most known for in the convention circuits at this time, so I'm so excited to give backers here an opportunity to tap into this rare opportunity to access some of my original charcoal work in a pin- and convention-aligned theme.
What do polls and the "Collector" tier have in common? Glad you asked! I created a new poll asking you to share which of your favorite convention activities is *not* currently represented in these pins. I'll be using the results to draw a sample illustration of what you can expect from the "Collector" tier commission drawing. Haven't decided for sure what to do with the sample illustration once it's done, but please let me know your thoughts, and we'll set pencil to paper soon!
Below: Work-in-progress (WIP) pictures of other charcoal drawings I've since completed, not examples of the specific commission drawing options!

More to Love!
There are SO MANY amazing pin designs available during Pintopia, I wanted to spotlight a couple others below and keep sharing the love throughout the next week. Take a look!
Nebula's Flames and Flavors: This artist is perhaps best known for her corgi pins and plush, but these foodie dragons are so much fun!
To the Moon and Back:These pins commemorate the journeys made by the many animals sent in to space, not only to honor their memory and bring attention to their stories, but also to note the complexities and storied history of space travel as a whole. They're beautiful visually and conceptually. Take a look!
Thank you all! I so appreciate all of your support so far, and I'm looking forward to continuing this journey!
