Aloha,

This past weekend was incredible. To see our dreams of the Art Studio come to life was a beautiful moment. I can't thank you all enough for the generosity and support you showed throughout this campaign. 

Shipping

Almost everything has shipped. I am just finalizing the last minute details with the custom state commissions, and then I will ship them out this upcoming Monday, September 23rd. If you backed under a different reward tier and haven't received your order, please let Paul know so he can get that fixed. You can reach him at [email protected]

Again, thank you all so much! We wouldn't have made it to this point without you!

Aloha,

Ann

Shipping, Classes & Launch Party!!!
over 4 years ago – Tue, Sep 03, 2019 at 06:14:15 PM

Aloha!

Prints

Shipping has officially started! All of the prints have been ordered with our printer and will be shipping out this week! We hope to send out tracking numbers as soon as we have them, but the printer is shipping them so fast you might receive them before we get tracking to you. So keep an eye out toward the end of this week/the beginning of next week for an email or even a package!

Classes

Those of you who signed up for the classes should be receiving your links this week. All of the classes will be managed by Counter Culture, so watch for an email from them!

Originals

We will be working on shipping out the originals in the upcoming weeks, and you'll be getting tracking info for those!

LAUNCH PARTY

As we mentioned before, we will be celebrating the opening of the Art Studio! The party will be held on Saturday evening, September 14, from 5-8pm. There will be an open house, live painting, drinks, snacks & more art for sale! There will be 50 slots available, so be sure to submit a response to the survey below ASAP. You will be notified by email if you receive an invitation to the event with more details!

Surveys are going out Thursday!
over 4 years ago – Mon, Aug 19, 2019 at 11:17:33 PM

ALOHA!

I would like to thank everyone for working so hard to get your Kickstarter payments ironed out. We can now release the surveys a whole week early!!!

Paul will be working with you all through the survey process, so please, feel free to reach out to him with any questions you have regarding your survey! You can reach him at [email protected]. He set up all the surveys and can help you work through any trouble you may have. Below is a quick walkthrough to help you fill out your survey!

Survey Time!

When we send the surveys out this Thursday, August 22nd, you will get an email from Backerkit. 

 It will look like this... 

When you select "Click Here to Respond" you will be directed to your survey. Below are the steps that you will need to follow to make sure we get all your info, and add any additional items you may want to pick up from the campaign. 

Start the Survey

 1) Answer your reward specific questions...

The example below shows what the survey will look like for someone who selected 5x5" option. There are three questions on the right that will need to be answered before moving on.

Everyone will have the Comments/Concerns section. Make sure to put something in the text box. It won't let you move on until you do. If you can't think of something just put "." in the box. If you have any special requests, please put them in here. Paul will review all the comments and reach out to you, if need be. 

2) Purchase additional Items (Add-ons)

This section will allow you to purchase as many items as you would like. At the end of the survey you will have a chance to put in your payment information. As you "add" items to your cart, you will see them listed on the right side, under "Add-ons" so you can keep track of what you are purchasing.  

Special Add-on!!!

You will also notice there is a special add-on option! Many of you wanted larger prints, so this should be perfect for you! Make sure to grab one, as these prints will never be available again! 

3) Shipping Info

Next, you will be prompted to enter your shipping information. Make sure this is accurate, because I want these beautiful pieces to make it to your doorstep safely. :)

4) Confirm/Payment

Finally, you will get to the confirm/payment section. If you didn't purchase any additional items you should have a balance of $0. Otherwise, you will have the option to checkout through Stripe, by inputting your Credit Card info, or through Paypal. 

There are two images below to show you everything that will be displayed on this screen at the top you will have the payment information. Toward the bottom (2nd picture) you will have a list of all the add-ons/pledge items that you will be receiving. 

#2

THAT'S IT!

And just like that, you have finished your survey! The prints and the originals will be shipping separately, but we hope to have them on their way to you ASAP! So expect to see your shipments within the next month! When we get tracking numbers, we will be sure to send them over so you can watch your order as it shows up to your door!

Again, if you have any questions, please let Paul know how he can help! [email protected]

Aloha,

Ann

Launch Party & What's next!
over 4 years ago – Tue, Aug 13, 2019 at 12:06:36 AM

Happy Monday!

What a great way to start this week! We reached our last stretch goal, and that means we will have a launch party that all of you are invited to! I will send out more information when we get closer to the launch party, so make sure to follow along on Instagram.

This week marks the final countdown to the end of the campaign, so I wanted to share some details about timing with you all. Once the campaign ends, no one will be able to update/make a pledge toward the campaign. All of the Credit Cards will be charged and we will move on to the Surveys. We can't send out surveys until all everyone's payment goes through, so if any of you receive notifications from Kickstarter about processing errors, please get that worked out ASAP. That will allow us to send out the surveys sooner! Kickstarter will attempt to resolve any card issues for 2 weeks after the campaign, so you have some time to work out any problems that may come up.

When we get all the payments squared away, we will send out surveys to everyone. This will let you select your print options, add in shipping information and will give you the chance to purchase any add-ons (Prints & Limited Originals) that you may want in addition to your reward selection on Kickstarter. If you have any trouble with the survey, please reach out to [email protected]. Paul is helping me with the survey details, and would be glad to help any of you through this process. 

So, once we get these surveys completed we can start shipping you your rewards! For those of you with prints and originals, these will come in two different shipments. All prints will be shipped from my printer directly. You will receive tracking information when your order ships. 

Needless to say, there is a lot of work to do, but we are here to help you all through the process. Let us know if you have any questions!

Aloha,

Ann
