Mysterious Labels
Added 2019-07-09 06:09:36 +0000 UTCDear Insane Children,
A quick heads-up for all of you who receive Art Prints from us - either via the 3/$35 Tier, the $75 Tier, or when you order directly from Mysterious.
As you are aware, these prints are individually signed (by American), quality inspected by Lulu, hand-packed, and then shipped from Shanghai to Insane Children around the world.
Previously, we rolled the art and then secured it with "individually unique, hand-crafted fastening devices" (AKA white masking tape torn into little bits). These bits of tape tended to come loose during shipping, leaving the art prints semi-stuck in the shipping tube.
Going forward, we'll start using Mr. Fancy Pants(tm) Metallic Logo Labels to secure the tubes. Not only do these look better, but they stick like crazy. No more premature print unfurling during transit!
They're also an Indicator of Authenticity - along with American's signature - proving that your art print came through official channels.
BUT! WAIT!
You'll need to take care when opening your art prints since these labels are designed to STICK and STAY.
Don't peel them off! Slice them in half! Use a knife, razor blade, or best of all a razor-knife... and slice through the label along the edge of the print.
Like so...
Easy peasy.
The Greatest Show...
And another quick heads-up regarding the next art print...
This is the print we're sending out next (the print for the month of July, for which you'll be charged in August - don't get me started on the confusion of Patreon's current month vs. charge month nonsense!).
As you can see from the photos, we're currently prepping all the "Perfectly Unbalanced" prints for shipping this week. Those prints turned out beautifully. And will feature the fancy new sticker-label-authenticity-fasteners. Hence this post.
PS: The label contains the Chinese character 奥 (ao - sounds like "oww, I stubbed my paw) for "mysterious" and "obscure" which, in Chinese, usually carries more than a hint of darkness.
From Shanghai with Grrrr,
Quality Inspector Lulu

the closure labels are a beautiful touch, and i am looking forward to receiving "perfectly unbalanced" this month. it is beautiful. it is by far my favorite design thus far, save the mushroom head doll [with magic]. <3 keep up the good work.
2019-07-11 20:15:34 +0000 UTCThanks for the attention to detail! It's great that you pay attention to stuff like this. This print is really awesome!
2019-07-10 01:51:05 +0000 UTCYikes! You're right! Sigh... it's already confusing enough. Then I have to go and typo... I'll fix it. Thanks for pointing that out!

2019-07-09 23:39:31 +0000 UTCIf you're referring to the Circus Poster... you will be able to purchase it via Mysterious from August 1st. Or you can access it via a Tier here on Pateron.

2019-07-09 23:36:16 +0000 UTCThank you for your hard work and consideration! I’m so excited! “Perfectly Unbalanced” instantly caught my eye and that’s the print I chose for my tier reward this time. 🥰 Lulu is best inspector! 🧐 12/10 you all do amazing things and I’m happy to support! ❤️
2019-07-09 23:33:08 +0000 UTCThat's a great seal
2019-07-09 23:28:25 +0000 UTCI think you meant charged in August not June.
2019-07-09 15:55:28 +0000 UTCSo pretty and shiny!
2019-07-09 15:34:19 +0000 UTCThese look amazing! I'd love to have one to use as a sticker!
