Buttons - finally!

Alright, so.

I have 360 1-inch buttons at the moment, of 13 different models.

I don't have a "store", so sadly, basically, you'll have to trust me =x

Size: 1 inch diameter

(As big as a quarter [US&Canada] and a 50 cents coin [euro])

How to order

If you wish to order some, refer to THIS POST and send me an email at closet(dot)inc(dot)sseksi(at)gmail(dot)com with the designs you wish, the number of each, and your address.

PLEASE NOTE: The "Wilde Mime" design came out much darker than I expected, so if you still wish to order some, I will discount them.

ALSO: 1 (one) "Closet Inc Logo" button come FREE with each order. If you wish for additional one(s), please specify in your order (you will be charged for those).

Prices

My objective is not to make money from it. What I'm looking for is to get back my investment (meaning, the original cost of getting the buttons done) and, hopefully, help to pay for my domain (still have to get around to switching everything. I know. v_v My webdesigner is on vacation right now.)

Extra money will go toward more buttons and the annual domain fees. And maybe other "merch" should I get demand/budget for it =)

Base prices:

0,75$CAN per button

Shipping:

Canada: 3$CAN

USA: 4$CAN

International: 5$CAN

For example: 7 buttons x 0,75 = 5,75$CAN, shipped to Finland (+5$CAN): 10,75$CAN (that's about 6,94 euros, so that makes about 1 euro per button)

Payment

At this moment, I can only accept payment through Paypal.

If you have a paypal account, please use the email you're using for that account to send me your order, or make a note of which address I should send the invoice to.

If you don't have a Paypal account, I do believe you can still pay through it with a credit card. I will use the email address you will send me the order from to send you the invoice.

(If you wish to know how much $CAN make, you can refer to THIS as an approximate)

Shipping

I will ship everything ASAP, most likely within 3 days. Depending on your location, it can take up to 2 weeks to reach you - keep that in mind.

If you have ANY question, don't hesitate to contact me =)

DONE :D

I did it!! :D

Hello. My second batch of button badges - the first one that will actually be available for sale - has been ordered and paid for tonight. I can already anticipate the awesome pride I'll feel upon looking at those tiny little professional-looking items with my art over them. Squee. =D

I thought I'd show you all the final designs. There are some I like more or less, but I tried to make choose and make them accordingly to the results of the survey I conducted a while back.

	Closet logo - All orders will come with one included. (to be honest I'm still in love with it. The rock thrown and the lettering. <3)
	Bite me! - a favorite of mine. Commodore was quite high in the character popularity contest, and I like the joke XD (Japa in bonus.)
	Duck! - Another one of my favorites. Isn't IsoT just awfully cute and sad? Poor little super hero.
	The Axe - I'm still giggling over the comic. I'm also giggling over the lame wordplay. But that's just me XD It was also a popular demand =)
	Gaffaman! - This was a hard one to design. None of the actual drawings of Eicca as Gaffaman actually worked well in a button design. So you're getting a... rescued innocent instead =)
	Life - As much as I love that comic, using it in button design is much harder than it looks. (but you know life *is* short, even if he doesn't like that word)
	Sparkly - I could not have left that one out. Too bad I can't actually put glitter on those badges.
	sPINK & Spank - I think this one imposed itself mostly because I fell in love with the wordplay. Not thw pink part, just you know, the whole. I love words.
	Throwing UP - That picture was probably the easiest to use on a button design. And, to be honest, I like it very much XD You decide if it represents what downing alcohol so recklessly will lead to, or the actual downing itself XD
	Wilde Mime - I actually had a lot of demand for Jann Wilde. Weird, especially since I drew him what, 3 times? Finding the right image and right slogan was much of a hassle. v.v
	Rumors - I'm VERY happy with this one. This is a drawing I did for the occasion. Know the saying, "Rumor has it that [insert gossiping here]" ? Rumors is cool. Rumors is awesome. Rumors has IT. Period. (you can also see some double sense in the 'period' comment. is it what Rumors has? period? XD)
	Beerman - I had few demands for Bloodpit, but this drawing - Paavo as Beerman, another superhero - is just one of my favorite. A small number of these will be made =3
	Teddy - I think this one will be liked very much. =3 The drawing was made for the occasion =)

Helloes!

Greetings, Closeteers!

Just a quick hello.
I actually did find a job, which occupies me from 7:45am until about 4:15pm (counting transport) from Monday to Friday. Yay! It means less time to myself, which is both a good and a bad thing.
Thank you to the... 21 people who actually filled the survey. I'll consider that those are pretty much how many people WILL order, so the number of buttons made will be chosen accordingly. It'll probably mean that I'll have a lower number of designs.
I will kick my ass and actually do the designs this weekend, and hopefully manage to get them ordered this week.

As for the survey's result, here are the results:
1. Weirdly enough, Wiwian came in first. Followed closely by Jonne and Theon (ex aqueo), Jussi and Janne (bros :D), Rumors, Kris, Chulian and... Eicca. Antti (NGT), Commodore and Teemu get the next mentions.
2. The winner of the "Other" category was incontestably Jann Wilde.
Fine. (doesn't mean other mentioned won't appear)
3. With high majorities, Uniklubi, Lovex, Negative and Apocalyptica were pointed out as favorite bands for the buttons.
4. People from 12 countries over the world answer this survey :D Austria, Germany, Netherlands, USA, Canada, Australia, Italy, Costa Rica, Portugal, Finland, Denmark and France :D
5. Most people voted for buying 5 buttons, then 10, so I'm probably going to make it a customizable amount :P
6. I got a lot of, "all comics are good for buttons" and such. Thank you :D Otherwise, a lot of mentions of those with Wiwian and Theon, Jussi is more - , Innocent, Pink & Sparkly and Gaffaman. Quite workable =)

It's very sad that I can't have an unlimited amount of designs in my order. I have so many ideas, the toughest will be to choose >_> *sigh*

Also, in time for Halloween, I'll have a zoo for you ;D

Alright! So many things to do, so little time...! ATTACK! 8)

Take care!!

OHMYGOD I GOT 4!!! O_O

...followers on this blog. Ahah.

Well, hello to you all then.

First, a bit of news from me.

I completed today the folder for my residence permit application, and visited the consulate in Montreal to get it stamped and whatnot. All went well. Of course. I knew what to expect. We're on Saturday now so since postal services are not running on weekends - so aren't public services like embassies, either - my stuff should reach Ottawa on Tuesday, then be shipped to Finland. Then, I wait 4 to 6 months. Meh.

Still, it's progressing. Me happy.

Then, I might have found a job, which is awesome. Money + stuff to do = <3

Now. Closet related: I will (really, this time) order a new batch/edition of Closet button badges, and since they will mostly be shipped to you (the 4 people reading this 8D) I need your opinion on what they should display. There will most likely be 15 different designs, plus the banner-bearing one.

So! Please fill THIS survey if you haven't already :)

I still have to work on the new website >_> And ask my brother for assistance cause I want to stab CSS with a sharp pencil -___-;;;

I will be attending the 69 Eyes' show in Montreal on November 4th. Don't know yet if I'll bother with a new series of promo drawings to get signed, since I already have a set. Though I still miss Archzie.... we'll see.

And, for those of you weird people who might check this blog before checking the site (or the 86349086 other feeds I post the link to new comics on), here's Kukka.

Random music news: You can hear The Rasmus' new single, "October And April", featuring Anette Olzon (<3), HERE (Youtube). I personally like it, though many people didn't.

So, I guess that's all for now. I leave you with this vision of horror from my (inexistent) sewing skills.

Because it's been a bit too long, so the result disappeared.

Oops?

The poll I'd made previously about buttons was... recycled, if I may say so. The ID number was associated with another poll (not from me) so I lost all the results.

Idiot me.

If you would be nice enough.... to fill this survey HERE.

The survey is ending on Saturday the 17th of October, so I'll have the buttons about 2 weeks after. Perfectly on time for Christmas! ;D

Opinions / Suggestions needed!

A few weeks / months / "insert time measure here" ago, I mentioned wanting to make buttons out of closet inc. drawings. For Christmas, some of my friends were the lucky / unlucky recievers of my first batch, which turned out quite nicely all in all. There were some corrections to do, mostly on colors and contrasts.

Now my question to you, dear readers / fellow stalkers (or maybe I should call you closeters? closeteers? clostalkers? join your suggestions on the matter) is, what would YOU want on buttons? Which drawing, text, quote? After all, they will be eventually yours, so it's only fair you get to choose.

Send your suggestions - button designs & closet readers nicknames - to closet.inc.sseksi(at)gmail(dot)com, whether or not you're planning on ordering buttons.

Pleaaaaaaasseeeeeeee write to meeeeeeeeeeee thank you =)

Details on said buttons: 1-inch metal buttons, will come in minimum order of 10 (can be all different designs) starting at 10$CAN, shipping included [2$ shipping to US & Canada, 4$ everywhere else]. All profits will go toward my comics: either toward a new graphic tablet - again -_-;; - or toward the hosting of closet inc. as an independant website (googlepages is going to disappear in a while, and googlesites is just not an option).
