Pizza Pinz

The mini pizza boxes have arrived and they are glorious! They just turned out perfect.

I wanted to share them as soon as possible so I took a few shots today for you all to enjoy. The pizza pin used here was the very first pizza pin I designed over 5 years ago—a nice slice of pineapple and jalapeño (my favorite) 🍍🔥

And note that the pins will each come in the box and on a backer card that simulates a lil' greasy pizza stain. A simple touch, but a completely necessary one in my humble opinion.

Here's a few more shots:






I've got some major BackerKit Survey announcements coming up next so keep an eye on your inbox this week. It's almost time for you to choose what designs you want. Exciting times!

Not one but TWO of you chose the "Custom Slice" pledge level which granted you the ability to boss me around and order me to draw whatever ya darn well pleased! Well, after a few weeks of negotiating and arting (is that a word?), we came to a conclusion friends:

🐈👻 Introducing Catlifornia Poppy Slice & Spectre Slice!

Our friend Lillie couldn't decide between a cat-themed slice featuring her two chunky loves OR a slice featuring the beloved California Poppy so we decided to just make one big happy slice featuring both. Who knew cats and poppies would make such a cut slice of pizza!?

And our friend Bayne shamelessly loves two things in life: "Space Ghost and Pizza"! I'm a sucker for all things 90's and have some fond memories watching the cult classic animated talk show Space Ghost Coast to Coast. What a wild and weird show that was, I love it. So this new Spectre slice is inspired by that kinda fun 90s nostalgia.

Two awesome new additions to our menu. And remember, these two slices will be available to ALL backers as an option via the backer surveys which should be heading your way in a week or so.

Now that all the slices are complete, I can submit my final pin manufacturing orders. While surveys are coming your way a smidge later than expected, everything else is ahead of schedule. Exciting times. Once I send surveys you'll be able to: choose the slices you want, add anything you'd like to your order, submit your current shipping address, and get an idea for shipping charges in your region.

Then all that's left the final charge for shipping, the manufacturing process, and getting your slices in the mail!

Be sure to stay tuned as I MAY have received the final mini pizza boxes!? I'll be snapping a few pics for you all to see and will post an update soon. Spoiler alert, they are really, REALLY cool.

Be sure to thank Lillie & Bayne for the rad new pins on the menu in the comments! (You must click into this post to comment)

See you soon...

Hey pizza lovers! It's been 2 weeks since we've funded Pizza Pinz so I though I'd check in and give ya'll a status update. We have a lot of parts movin' and shakin' so let's dive in like my favorite cool but rude teenage mutant ninja turtle Raphael diving into a hot slice 😎

🔥 Backer funds comin' in hott 🔥
It looks like most all cards have been charged and the bulk of the funds will be hitting my account in the next week or so. This means I can start finalizing my pin designs and get them closer to official production with my manufacturer. A lot of the details are already sorted out, they are just waiting on all my final files which are about 90% complete.

💖 TWO new custom slices coming your way 💖
We had TWO backers choose the $300 "Custom Slice" pledge level and I'm in the process of working out those designs. Nothing to show you yet, but we've settled on the 2 new designs. They are:

CATlifornia Poppy Slice - A delicat combination of cute felines and dainty California Poppies spread across a hot n' ready slice of pie. In short, it's cats n' flowers y'all. Cats n' flowers...need I say more?

Space Specter Slice - Born from a backer's love of the show Space Ghost: Coast to Coast and, well, pizza! A combination I didn't see coming BUT exactly what custom slices are all about! Making things that wouldn't otherwise exist! Expect this one to be a cool sci-fi theme inspired by the aforementioned show!

These two slices are in the design phase right now and I hope to share their final form soon!

📦 Mini Pizza Boxes are coming 📦
Ok, this is fun. I've been working with an amazing company to make these mini pizza boxes just perfect. And they are so good people. The final boxes have been finalized and ordered. I will share some serious pictures with you once both the boxes and the pin backer cards arrive. I can't overhype these enough. They are perfect.

✏️ Backer Surveys Coming Soon ✏️
Once I finalize the last 2 custom pins, I will be sending out Backer Surveys. This is the part where you get to:

Even though surveys may be going out a tiny bit later than expected, everything else is ahead of schedule meaning we are well on track for a November delivery date! It's all lookin' goooooooooooood! We're on time.

Ok that's quite enough for now! I'm very excited to push this all forward. Now I need to go get designing these final TWO pizza slices so I can get these surveys out to you all!

While you wait, please take the very important poll above for me, and please comment why you identify with that character AND let me know who's missing from the list 🐢🐢🐢🐢

Smell ya later,

A big New York Style pizza slice thank you to all 489 of you who made this project happen! At the end of the day we raised $15,555 which is over 300% funded AND we unlocked each and every Mystery Slice. That last slice would not have happened without your extra help. I saw a lot of folks adding money to their pledge and upping their Pledge Levels in the last 24 hours. You rock 🤘

And on top of that TWO of you chose the "Custom Slice" Pledge Level which means I still have 2 new pizza slice designs to create. I'm not sure what those will be just yet, but they will be available for all to order once the surveys are sent. So stay tuned for that. I will reach out to the 2 backers soon so I can figure out what I'll be drawing.

SO WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!?

Alright, I need to go relax a little bit, that was a very fun campaign and I'm so very thankful you all helped bring Pizza Pinz to life. This has been a little dream of mine for years now and you are responsible for making it a reality.

Stay tuned pizza-lovers,

We did it! The final Mystery Slice has been unlocked by reaching $15K in funding which is 300% of goal.

🌴 Introducing the Synthwave Slice!

Synthwave Slice was the clear winner of our recent community poll. Thanks again to everyone that voted for this cool theme.

I hope this slice gives off vibes of rad electronic music associated with action, science-fiction, and horror film soundtracks of the 1980s. It's chill man. Calming. Cool 😎

With only 5 hours to go, that's a wrap on all the Mystery Slices. We unlocked them all! You did it!

Any additional slices to join the mix will be from the $300 "Custom Slice" Pledge Level. If your dream slice didn't make the final cut, consider choosing that Pledge Level and get exactly what you want!

Stay tuned and see what the final backer count and funding amount is.
