Preorder Status & Information
Welcome! I wanted to utilize this page to provide preorder-related info, and give real-time updates on the status of the items (so bookmark this if you've preordered something)!
Current Preorder Status:
August 17, 2025: Print preorders are open until the 31st!September 1st, 2025: Print preorders are closed and everything has been removed from shop. Printing underway! Fulfillment likely to begin around the 15th.
September 17th, 2025: We hit a snag!! My trusty giclée printer was acting up and I had to take it to a guy for repair (this was actually quite an adventure in itself but I guess that's a story for another time). The good news is, it's working great now and we only really fell a few days behind! It will take until Monday (the 22nd) to get fulfillment into full swing, but I will be spending the weekend packing and shipping some of the larger/more complex orders. Thank you so much for your patience. :'>

Frequently Asked Questions
Why Preorders?
For prints, hosting a preorder makes it easier for me to print-on-demand all at once! When I sell prints in my shop, they are usually printed from home on my own Epson inkjet printer, so having a tally and knocking everything out at once just feels nicer.
For apparel, clothes take up a LOT of space, so it's difficult to store enough of everything to keep my shop fully stocked all of the time. Since I don't have a brick-and-mortar store, it makes the most sense to offer apparel on a preorder basis. This way, I can order the exact amount that I need and ship it to you without worrying about storage! Occasionally, I will order enough apparel to do a "regular" shop update, but I make no guarantees about which designs I bring back and which ones I retire. If you have your eye on something in this preorder, now is the best chance to get it!
What's the Timeline?
The Preorder window will close on August 31sth at midnight, at which point I will start printing! From there, it will likely take me 1-2 weeks to finish, and then we will begin shipping out orders! Depending on how many orders we receive, this can take anywhere from 2-3 weeks so please be patient, especially if you ordered toward the end of the preorder period!
With all of that said, I anticipate orders to be delivered by the end of September at the latest (but most likely earlier). If any delays happen, they will be announced on my Instagram and posted on this page.
What Delays Can Happen?
For prints, the only real potential for delays is a printer malfunction. Let's hope nothing like that happens!
The most common cause of delays in apparel is when a particular garment is out of stock with the supplier. For example, we could encounter a situation where we're just waiting on the aqua hoodies for the loon design, but everything else is ready to go. This usually takes a couple of weeks to resolve, and I will be sure to remain in contact if anything like this happens. At the moment, everything is in stock and looking good!
At this time, I'm not too worried about tariff-related delays.
Why Can't I Use Paypal?
Paypal has strict rules surrounding fulfillment times, so I have to disable it for things like apparel preorders. Since print preorders have a faster turnaround, I'm keeping Paypal active.
What About the Uncertainty Surrounding Tariffs?
(only applies to international customers outside of the US)
That's the big question mark hovering around right now, but I don't think we have too much to worry about (at this time). Per my shop policy, the customer is always responsible for any import taxes imposed by their country and it's important to stay informed on the latest news! What I can say is that I think it's very unlikely for any new tariffs to target the low value of the items that you will be receiving (unless you plan on ordering $300 worth of hoodies or something). If your country imposes a new tariff on US goods and you believe your package will be affected, please feel free to contact me about potentially holding your order until things stabilize.
