Not right now. I open up mini portrait commission slots (digital and physical) twice a year and I always post reminders about the release date. These slots usually sell out within the first 15 minutes, so I’d recommend turning on notifications on Instagram or signing up for my Storybook Tier on Patreon to get first dibs!

However, I am always open for contract work. Please email me here if you think I’m a good fit for your next project!

〰️ Plush toys + enamel pins 〰️
Due to a partnership with another company, I am bound by contract to withhold the names of the companies that manufacture my plush toys and my enamel pins.

For plush toys, my best advice is to go through Alibaba and look through reviews since that’s what my partner company did.

For those of you who are new to making pins, I recommend Wizard Pins. Manufacturing enamel pins is illegal in the United States, so you have to hire outside the country and the communication barrier might make your process more difficult. Wizards Pins is a third-party company in America so it’s a little pricey but you don’t have to worry about anything lost in translation or not having enough information in your manu sheets bc they’ll do it all for you.

〰️ Stickers + sticker sheets 〰️
I make bulk orders through StickerMule for all my single stickers because their vinyl quality is unmatched! StickerBlitz has the exact same quality as StickerMule but their prices are better for smaller orders. Sometimes I will order from StickerApp to test products or to purchase freebies for customers since it’s the cheapest option, but I don’t like the quality as much. Finally, all my sticker sheets are made in California through Many Stickers or through Sticker Giant online. The latter is pricier but their quality is really good and best for bulk orders. (I do not make stickers myself bc it’s not efficient for me, but other companies find success in doing so with a Cricut or Silhouette!)

〰️ Art prints 〰️
All my art prints are made with archival ink on watercolor paper through a local printer in Normal Heights, San Diego called Ego ID Media. I don’t go anywhere else bc the quality is 10/10 each time. If you’re not based in SD, I recommend looking for a local printer that offers gicleé fine art printing. For other print jobs, I go to another local SD printer in Chula Vista, Artistic Printers. Their quality is inconsistent but very cheap, so it’s good for testing large prints/projects and temporary signs. For tiny things in small quantities, I use an Epson ET-2850 in my studio.

〰️ Acrylic charms 〰️
I work with VOGRACE in China/Canada to create acrylic charms. I have done acrylic charms with other companies before, but they were cheaply made, got scratched easily, and had lots of imperfections. VOGRACE gave the most pleasant manu experience I’ve ever had— easy to communicate with, very professional, and the acrylic epoxy charms protect my designs in a very sturdy way.

In general, try to seek out local companies! I’ve found that small businesses can be difficult to work with in the beginning, but it’s usually worth it in the end. I hope this helps! And if it does, please support my work however you can, whether it’s a like on social media or a dollar in my store. I appreciate you!! :)

Yes! I am releasing several limited edition pieces in the summer. I don’t know how long I’ll be working with clay since it’s a true hobby for me and I have limited resources, but feel free to sign up for my newsletter, follow me on social media, or sign up on Patreon to stay in the loop. :)

All Kickstarter rewards and plush preorders have been shipped and completed! Thank you so much for your support!

If you have any questions about this project, Kickstarter, or surveys, please email me or my team at hello@kluia.co!

We are officially sold out of these plushies, however we will offer a limited preorder when Fish the Fox’s book comes out on Kickstarter. Stay tuned!
