All the good intentions

It’s been real quiet here. I took a chunk of time away from all the things even though I had planned on doing all the things. I talked about it with my lovely patrons over on Patreon in January. You might have noticed the new link at the top for a portfolio page. Everything on that page is what I have been up to in the last month or so. You’ll also notice that you can purchase said things. I’m in the process of getting ready for FanExpo Dallas in June and have a new set of enamel pins that I need to get funded. This is one of the ways I am gathering those funds.

I’m still working out if it’s better to have a pre-sale or go through Kickstarter again for some of the funding as well. I’m always hesitant about using Kickstarter because it’s an all or nothing deal. I did use Kickstarter for the first set of pins and it successfully funded, but I purposefully set the goal lower than I actually needed for the complete set because I wasn’t sure my idea of a cosplaying llama enamel pin would be popular. The funds I gained from Kickstarter ended up covering roughly half the cost of the original set. I’m not sure if running a pre-sale is any better but it’s something to look into. In the meantime, I have the portfolio page.

The second set of Cosplaying Llama designs

I really have been enjoying myself over the past two months with all the art exploration. I haven’t settled on any one medium but have been combining several of them to see what happens. I’ve picked up several new bottles of ink I am looking forward to sharing here and using. But that’s for another post.

Site Update August 2023

After some deliberation and conversations with some folks, I have made the decision to let the domain room7609.net lapse in April of 2024. At the same time I have purchased a new domain LooseEndingsStudio.com to take its place. You will see minor changes such as the title and tagline of the site move away from room7609.

Room7609.net will continue to work until it expires. It will (should) automatically redirect to the new domain name.

It may seem odd given that I just “restarted” several months ago with a new introduction. to the blog realm as it were. The change truly should have happened a long time ago but I was resistant to letting go of something that no longer worked for me.

For those of you that are following me through wordpress.com or the email-list I don’t think this change will affect you. If this turns out to be incorrect please let me know. This notice is primarily for those that might have simple added the site to their quick link bar.

Much love,

Charlie
