Sumo Cat Menko and Pins - by Lynn Chang

Several months ago artist Lynn Chang reached out to me to see if I could help her with designs for her sumo cat pin collection.  Click here for the review.  She ended up producing pins and the card backs after getting enough commitment on Indiegogo. She sent me some of the pins and I was definitely impressed by what she ended up coming up with.  The backs of the pins even have her name engraved on them and as a bonus she initialed in gold ink all the menko cards too.  Cool touch!  Thanks to all the fellow supports that contributed and helped Lynn reach her goal.  I really appreciate and enjoy independent artists and am glad that this project turned out great.  I hope to see more of Lynn's work in the future!

    Sorry to say I backed the project (I was the only $60 backer) and never received my two sets of pins nor could I get a response from Ms Chang. And of course Indigogo said they were not responsible.

      Dude, that is not right. Let me reach out to Lynn and see if there was an oversight. In the meantime shoot me your address at rakuda_chan@yahoo.com and I'll hook you up with some extras of mine.

      Anyone else have any issues?

      That sucks Commish! I'd reach out to her again. I received my pins awhile back and they're really nice. I was also impressed with the die-cut cards as well.

      Mark I saw your name on the backer list and I meant to ask you if you received your order. I've gotten involved in a handful of these crowd-sourced projects but this is the only one with which I've had issues. We'll see what gives I guess.

      I reached out to her as well and hopefully hear something back. Just sent you an e-mail as well.

    Yup, looks like the communications snafu got sorted out and I'll be receiving my pins. Big Thanks to Ryan here who brokered the deal. LOL
