Hey Guys!
We decided to start doing custom drawing on each of the things we mail out to people. So in addition to any Stickers, Magazines, or Prints you order from us, you’ll receive a one of a kind drawing or sketch somewhere on your package or envelope!
Our first one was done by Matthew, and was sent out to Amy in Pennsylvania last week.
The first draft of FORGE. Issue 1 has been printed and our kickstarter is on it’s way!
For the past couple of weeks we’ve been steadily putting together both the first hard copy of Issue 1 and the video for our kickstarter. What was just an idea back in October has finally been realized. We’re incredibly excited to have it in physical form, filled with a collection of pieces by several gifted artsits. We hope to set up the kickstarter campaign in the coming weeks, and that we’ll be able to finally get the magazine in your hands.
Alright everyone I’m doing this thing called Ghibli Jam this year which is basically a week long (March 3rd - 9th) art jam where hopefully a bunch of cool and talented people get together and create some awesome stuff relating to Studio Ghibli in some way. I don’t know how it will go it might be a disaster but it’s the first time i’ve done something like this and I figured you guys might be into it! I actually did it last year but it was just me.
I’ve set up a blog where I’ll reblog everything that people make and i’ll also reblog a few things here. So make sure sure you tag your stuff #ghiblijam so I can find it!!! I’ve also got submissions set up on that blog if you want to do it that way
Hopefully this is a success and we all get a bunch of cool art celebrating the much loved animation studio but even if it isn’t it’ll still be fun! So get involved and make something!! It can be comics, art, animation, pixels, paintings, drawings, sculpture, cosplay, stop motion, performance art, installation… or pretty much anything as long as it can be posted on a blog.
So once again basic info Ghibli Jam: March 3rd to the 9th tag your stuff #ghiblijam or submit to the blog! Also follow it/bookmark it so you can see everyones stuff!! Oh and please keep your stuff safe for work.
I think that covers everything, thanks for reading my words and I hope you get involved! reblogs are as always appreciated :)
Here’s a project that we’re really excited about this week! It’s being run by one of our favorite artists on tumblr, Jake Lawrence (TimeCowboy), and is going on for the rest of this week. If you love Studio Ghibli films, you should definitely check it out, or submit some of your own fan art.
Here’s a promo we made for our new FORGE. Stickers.
The stickers are now on sale on our BigCartel and will be sold for $.50 each, 2 for $1, and 5 for $1.75.
Lean more about the project on our website.
