Cthulhu for President - Great Old Enamel Pins

Created by SourceHill

WYSIWYG is even more important in politics than in real life. Let's elect the evil we *know* is really bad. (And horde enamel pins.)

Latest Updates from Our Project:

Much awaited announcement

Hi again everyone 🐙,

Today I'd like to share something I think is super cool with all of you who backed our Kickstarter: We've got our own Etsy store - Eldritch Concerns - where the pins are up for sale! 🥳

And not only that - to match with the style and eery cute intention of our original Kickstarter, I've designed a set of t-shirts, exclusively available through the store. Now you'll be able to wear Nyarlathotep, truly encourage a vote for the Great Old One and match your pins with the prints on your chest!

Since you're all awesome, and I'd love to see those pins worn with matching attire, I've setup a *20%* discount code just for you, that is active until July 29. Pop over to the store using the link below to get the discount (that you can use multiple times while it's active!), or use the code IMABACKER on check-out:

https://eldritchconcerns.etsy.com?coupon=IMABACKER

Recognise anything? More to be found in the store! 😁

This is a project we've been working on for some time whenever we've had the opportunity, and still it's just an early beginning. I'm hoping to design more cool Lovecraftian swag to populate the store and your thoughts and suggestions would be most welcome.

If you have any suggestions to what you think I should focus on, feel free to pop me a PM here on Kickstarter. It could be a design or motif you'd like to wear proudly, or it could be a suggestion for a product - maybe you'd want Cthulhu on a hoodie, a stylish shirt with a statement embroidery or leotard leggings with full-print tentacles? 

I commit to making products out of at least one recommendation each for the first three of you reaching out! Just make sure it's something to be worn and that it fits the Lovecraftian theme and I'll get it done (assuming it is feasible).

I am very excited about the launch of our store and I hope you guys will enjoy browsing it as much as I enjoyed designing the apparel for you.

Thank you for your support and enthusiasm, and stay safe!

Ps. We're working together with Printful for the production of the T:s and fulfilment of any t-shirt orders. They're a pretty cool company that makes all sorts of accessories and clothes. Check-out their website for more inspiration at https://www.printful.com

And the pins have arrived in Sweden! :D

Wohoo! The pins have arrived in Sweden! :D

And they all look smashingly, horrifyingly gorgeous - if I may say so myself.

I will now start the process of printing labels and putting things in bags. I expect this will take the rest of the week in between all of the other projects that are going on over here right now.

Once in bags, I'm off to the post office to ship these goodies out to all of you dedicated servants of the Great Old Ones.

For trans-Atlantic shipping it may take a little bit longer, but for the European backers, this should mean that you will have the pins at some point next week, or week after that at the latest.

Once I've put the shipments out I'll make sure to drop you guys a reminder in a couple of weeks time, in case of missing shipments.

When you do get your pins, I would love to see some pictures of how you're using them! :D Please don't hesitate to ping me here or drop me an email. I so look forward to seeing these shiny pins in their true element - on your lapels, bags, jackets or wherever your imagination puts them!

Thanks again for your belief in our campaign! Almost makes me tear-up to look at the bags of pins here. 🐙

Stay safe!

Pins off the press! 🐙

Hi everyone!

First off a big thank you to everyone for filling in the survey and ensuring that we could progress so rapidly to production. As you may have noticed, the orders are now locked in and we've charged everyone for the shipping, which is another big milestone for us over here. 

On the manufacturing front things are progressing to plan and I just received the first in-production-picture the other day! The pins have come off the chopping and pressing board and are currently being painted.

Above is Nyarlathotep working on his tan, and below is an army of Shoggoths.

We're starting to get very excited about it over here and are hoping to see pictures of the finished products sometime end of next week.

Once again, thank you for being awesome and stay safe!
