Preorder Updates!! 

The preorder order is on it’s way! I placed the order at the end of February and have very patiently been waiting for the charms to arrive lmao. I anticipated that it would take about a month to get here, but it may be mid-April before I actually have them on hand? So I’m just playing a waiting game right now lol

Once I have the preorders on hand, I will ship them out as soon as possible and the extras will go up on my shop! I’ll have more info on that when I can share it! : D

In the meantime, here are some of the photos I got with the order! THEY TURNED OUT SO PRETTYYYYY 🥺 

Shop Updates!! 

I’m currently working on the next shop launch – I’m branching out a bit and going to (hopefully) include a Shadow the Hedgehog charm in the next launch. I’m also in the process of making a Bill standee (with hopefully a moving arm so you can make deals with him haha) and some suncatcher Bill stickers because suncatchers are SO PRETTY and I want to make some of the boi lol.

wow so cool ✨ 

In regards to other products I was working on, like the Theraprism charm and the Bill car decals, the car decals are already designed so I will post them with the next shop launch! (I just have to make graphics to promote them lol) The Theraprism charm, however, is going on hold for right now because I am struggling with the design a lot 😬 If I end up making it, I’ll let you guys know!

As always, there will be an interest survey in the near future before I post preorders! I’ll share that once I have it!

A Bill Pin Club?? 👀 

This has been kind of an impulsive idea, but I’ve considered starting a monthly sticker or pin club for a while and I want to actually set it up now. I thought about doing a Bill sticker club, but I want more wearable merch of Bill, so!! I’m thinking of going down the pin club route!

So far, here are my ideas for it:

• It would be a Bill Cipher focused club with a monthly or bi-monthly subscription featuring a new pin design

• I might create different design “collections” (for example, Book of Bill inspired pins, kind of supportive Bill pins, cosplay Bill, etc.! I also need a Barista Bill pin because I’m a barista and this is for me specifically lol)

• It would either be on my Patreon (which I would rebrand to encompass all of my art instead of just my original story) or on my Ko-fi page

• Pricing would depend on how much the pins cost, so I will have more info on that later!

• The initial pins would be acrylic pins (because they are significantly cheaper than enamel lol), but they would transition to enamel pins once enough people have joined the club

• It may be US only to start because of shipping costs, but we’ll see!!

• I may include designs for other pieces of media as well as original designs and designs based on my original story at some point, but I want to do at least a year of Bill pins first!

I will be sending out an interest survey for this once I have several designs completed! 

Beneath the Woods News!!

Alright so I started this newsletter mainly to share shop updates, but I work on a lot of stuff, and I want to share more about my original project, Beneath the Woods, because I’m working on revamping it!

The story itself is about two teens who have to work together to escape a demonic dimension. Max is a medium who’s scared of ghosts but has to learn how to use his medium abilities (which are actually magical powers gasp 🫢) to navigate this big, scary world. The other, Orion, is a literal golden retriever man who is slowly losing his sense of self and is becoming a monster but he doesn’t want to be a burden so he just 😬 Bottles it up!! (ORION NO 😭)
It’s VERY Gravity Falls inspired but I feel like the best way I can describe it is Gravity Falls + Arcane? It’s got spooky supernatural stuff, magical powers, demons, found family relationships, and a big overarching mystery that connects everything back to an ancient magical world and the monster that destroyed it!

It was originally a webcomic, but I got very, VERY burnt out working on it, so I’ve been working on creating a webnovel version with illustrations instead! This story is super important to me, so I want to be able to continue working on it that’s much more sustainable for me.

I don’t have an estimated release date yet for the webnovel launch but once I have about 8 chapters completed and all of the illustrations for those chapters done, I’ll be able to announce a release date! In the meantime, if you want to read the original webcomic, you can find it here! 

what other stuff is mason doing

I’m in another Gravity Falls zine! I’m currently creating a piece for the “We’ll Meet Again” Bill zine, and here’s a preview of it!

Annnnnnd here’s a little illustration for Beneath the Woods I started on recently! ❤️ 

Anyway that’s it! Thank you for reading my very rambly newsletter 👍️ I will keep everyone updated on when all of these new projects go live, but I’m excited to share everything with y’all! : D
