#Gutwrench Flowerbomb

[gutwrenchflowerbomb]

There’s a longer post about my current situation but I know TL;DR is real so I’ll do the good thing first: I’ve designed a notepad! I’ll be making the sample/test/prototype this week as I’m waiting for some supplies to get here.

It’s a design that I basically made for myself, as I love wrestling AND penguins. I might do some variants with some other cute animals like kitties or frogs or something. If it comes out the way I hope, I’ll have it listed this weekend.

I’ve been in a weird headspace. Losing my job and having to move in with my mom was not on the list of things I expected to happen. But that’s life.

I found a job, I’ve been hired to be a “rewind operator” at a printing company. They print a lot of things but mostly it seems to be labels and packaging from small business labels to 100s of thousands of labels for big name brands. It’s a position I have no experience in, a fact I told the managers during my interview. But I also told them why I applied : I thought it sounded interesting, it’s a pretty stable industry, it provides a steady work schedule (no on call shit) and it would be much less emotionally taxing than my previous position. I said “the closest thing to experience I have is that I print and cut my own little craft stuff at home.”

Well, I guess they liked my attitude or my candor or both, cuz they offered me the position. I start next week.

This lack of direction and work and purpose or whatever has been the worst. I’ve felt like I’ve been just floating in jello. I’ve been trying to do some designing but I don’t have my own space to really do it the way I’ve been used to.

Despite that, I’ve created a bunch of new designs for stickers, buttons and keychains. Not just wrestling related either. I’ll be posting those later when I get out of my funk.

Ohhh, something very fun came in the mail today:

BEST FRIENDS STICKERS FROM @bonzogonzopod AHHHH!!!!

They're so cute and so sturdy and VIBRANT. Like this photo does not do them justice on how colorful they are. I love them so so SO much. You can tell how much love and passion was invested in these designs; there's so much detail, everything about them just makes sense? ALSO. THEY'RE ONLY $3.50 EACH. THEY'RE A STEAL.

Grab them from her shop. They're so worth it, I promise <3

Shop Update!

Here you see some new additions! We've got some Zack Sabre Jr. and The Acclaimed/Daddy Ass and a Tattoo Style Wrestling Heart.

I've also included a few new designs for Chuck, Trent and Orange for those who enjoy a little bit of blood on the Local Bad Boys.

As always, the proceeds go to paying off Bankruptcy Legal Fees.

Was playing around with more ideas and this is the result. Behold, the “stick figure family” but it’s wrestling stables.

I only have one finished so far. Is anyone surprised it’s Best Friends? Well you shouldn’t be. They are always my go-to prototypes.

Anyway, I’ll be working on cutting these to get the right settings. So if anyone wants to order one to stick on their own car, stay tuned.

The next stable on the list for this style: Blackpool Combat Club

Hey Y’all!!!

So I’m in a bind financially as I am still working on paying my legal fees from bankruptcy. I have had support from several folks in the past several months but I haven’t really marketed myself anywhere other than on Tumblr.

I have begun the drafts for listings on Etsy. I don’t really know where else I can list them (maybe eBay? Mercari?) but in the mean time they have been only on Ko-Fi.

Anyway, I would REALLY appreciate it if everyone could share this post so I can try and reach as many people as I can and hopefully drum up some more sales.

GUTWRENCH FLOWERBOMB KO-FI

Here are some examples of what I’ve got. This isn’t everything, so make sure you check it out!

I print and cut everything myself. And I have yet to send out an order that didn’t have some freebies :)

Since I posted this on Twitter (I will never call it X, fuck you Elon) figured I would share it here!

As soon as I get back home (currently house sitting for the next week) I’m gonna print a sticker to see how it looks in person. But I have a feeling it’s gonna be just fine.

[gutwrenchflowerbomb]

Oh hey. Here are the updated Oranges Cassidy (or is it Orange Cassidys ?) options available in my ko-fi shop.

All proceeds go towards my bankruptcy legal fees

[gutwrenchflowerbomb]

Tight. So do I. So here's some new sticker designs I've finished and added to my Ko-Fi shop.

If any (or all) of these strike your fancy, you find them in my ko-fil shop

Be sure to follow me on there for updates. I have several more

I have Covid and only have 10 hours of PTO. I’m off for the week, and can’t go in even if I was asymptomatic. If anyone wants to support me, now is the best time. Here’s my ko-fi. You can donate or buy stuff or both or neither but I’d appreciate a share.

SHOP UPDATE!!!

After a bit of a delay due to my real job taking priority, I present my newest designs!

If any (or all) of these strike your fancy, you find them in my ko-fil shop

Be sure to follow me on there for updates. I have several more Matt/Nick/Bucks options I’m still working on.

Eddie Kingston Time!

These bad boys are officially live! Pick your fav or get all 4!

[gutwrenchflowerbomb]

Guess who I’m working on next…

[gutwrenchflowerbomb]

Despite feeling like trash I made some new designs. Here are some Shidas and some Abadons.

[gutwrenchflowerbomb]

It's OC's birthday, so I wanted to share the new designs I have coming to my shop this weekend! These will be available as stickers or MAGNETS. That's right! I'm making magnets now because why not. Basically, any design I have will be available as a sticker or a magnet.

These are my practice magnets so far. I'm seeing how the materials work together and I can tell that I'm going to have to put some sort of thick cardstock/thin cardboard between the sticker and magnet to make it stiffer.

Make sure you follow me to get updates on when items go live! All proceeds are going to pay towards my bankruptcy legal fees!

[gutwrenchflowerbomb]

That’s just a lil taste of what’s coming.

My real life job has been a bit of a time consumer since we are short staffed - which has left me with no energy and thus having not updated the shop. I’ve still been working on designs, since it’s relaxing, but the actual mundane task of create listings, posting about them yadda yadda I ain’t had the motivation for.

But this weekend, it is time. I will be posting the Bucks and Kenny, with several options to choose from. I’ll also be adding more options for some wrestlers that I’ve already posted like Orange and Chuck and Trent and Kris.

So if you haven’t followed me on Ko-Fi, do it now! I’m pretty sure it sends updates to you when I list new items.

Also - If you would like someone specifically made in this style- send me a message! It doesn’t have to a wrestler or a celebrity at all. Hell it doesn’t even have to be a person! I’ve made a few of these for my friends of their pets. I’m open to commissions but since I’ve never actually done that before, I don’t really have a structure in order haha. But we can chat and figure something out.
