Modern Hanafuda, Closing Shop

Hello my lovely mustachioed backers!

I hope this message finds you well. I realized the other day that it had been over two years since I started drawing pictures for my Modern Hanafuda cards and boy! has the time flown by! However, like all good things, Modern Hanafuda, in its current rendition, is coming to an end.

That’s right! Our initial Kickstarter stock is running low and I have decided not to reprint a second edition. For collectors, your decks just got a little more collectible (especially those signed copies). For people who still play Koi Koi, you might shuffle your decks a little more gingerly in the coming months.

I had a great run these past couple years and I have gained invaluable knowledge about manufacturing, shipment, business, customer relations, taxes, etc. But, I know none of that knowledge and learning would have happened without your pledges. It’s hard to explain how much your support helped me along the way, but it really did and I want to say, one last time:

THANK YOU.

 

So, consider this your official heads up! If you’d like to grab one more deck or perhaps send a copy to a friend or family member this holiday, you can still purchase a deck through my Shopify store: http://store.modernhanafuda.net/ The remaining decks will be first come, first serve. The store’s last day will be October 31st, 2014 and will be closed, for the foreseeable future, on November 1st, 2014.

Thank you again to each and everyone one of you for your support these past couple years. A toast to your gracious support and to your future endeavors! Hopefully in two more years time, you will still be playing a game or two of Koi Koi.

Best,

Sarah

Printing in Progess

Hello world!

It’s amazing to think that 2 months ago my project was 100% funded here on Kickstarter through the support of my lovely 399 backers. During that time, I’ve learned a lot about what it means to run a small art business, how to set up multiple large scale print orders, networking with other artist, advertising, marketing… the works! It’s been a roller coaster of a process and I’d like to share with you some good, some “bad,” and some exciting news.

Hello my lovely backers!

To those of you who are just joining us, welcome to the party! We have 16 days to go and are fast approaching the $5,000 mark! It is really exciting to share with you this process and I am currently working on some stretch goals should we get 100% funded. So stay tuned for that in the coming days/after the New Year. In the meantime, I hope you will join me in continuing to spread the word about Modern Hanafuda.

Today I would also like to share with you some test prints for the posters and the framed art prints (hot off the press and straight out of the shipping tube).
