〰️ OTHER LINKS + FAQ 〰️

  • Not right now. Every four months, I open up mini portrait commission slots (digital and physical) and I always post reminders about the release date. The next launch is in February. 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!

  • Yes! I am releasing several pieces in January. I don’t know how long I’ll be working with clay since it’s a true hobby for me, so I consider each piece a limited edition!

    Recently, I opened up the option for custom ceramic pieces so please reach out if that’s something you’re interested in!

  • All Kickstarter rewards and plush preorders have been shipped!

    If you have any questions about this project, Kickstarter, or surveys, please email me or my team at hello@kluia.co! Otherwise, feel free to purchase it from my store in January. :)
