Nya Nya Neko Cousins, Series I

Created by Gilles Bone

This campaign smashed through the initial goal of it's first pin & proceeded to funding an entire series of hard enamel pins depicting animal villagers inspired by popular gaming & anime characters! The Kickstarter also helped fund a set of high quality Colouring Pages, a selection of Embroidery Patches, supersized glossy vinyl Stickers, luxury mini prints & a collection of t shirts.

Hi everyone,

I hope this update finds you all safe and in good health.

I just wanted to send you a quick note and let you know that my latest campaign "Nya Nya Neko Princess Enamel Pins" is in it's final 48 hours. All designs have been unlocked and we have plenty of beautiful pins to choose from.

Please feel free to support or share the campaign if you can, to help me move forward in these final hours.

As always, thank you all, sincerely, for your continued support.

Pin Club Updates + January Pin Reveal + December Reprise
over 3 years ago – Tue, Dec 29, 2020 at 05:26:51 PM

Hello Everyone~!

I hope you are all well, safe and feeling some form of holiday spirit despite 2020! XD

Magical Silhouette & Nya Nya Neko

Here is the Pin Club Pin Reveal for January, sweet little Chocobo in Nya Nya Neko Cousins and Magical Silhouettes form~!

I’ve been wanting to tailor our club to be a bit more coherent so members know what to expect as a recurring supporters. Magical Silhouettes and Nya Nya Neko have become a staple to my style as a Pin Designer & Maker. Therefore, going forward, the club will be offering one Magical Silhouette and one Nya Nya Neko (or Nya Nya Neko Cousin) pin every month allowing you all to build a well curated and diverse collection.

You have until the end of this month to sign up through Patreon. You can opt to receive 1 or both of next month's pins. All package pledges also include a mini print and 2 stickers~!⁠ ⁠

However, you can also purchase these pins directly from my shop! I'm putting links to both down below~!

💛 Pin Club (Cheaper)

💛 Direct Purchase

Postcards

Our monthly mini prints made a return to Pin Club from December and they are getting an upgrade starting January. The back of future mini prints will be a proper postcard, giving these lovely freebies a functioning purpose for those who wish to use them. But there’s more!

Alongside working on enamel pins and t-shirts, I have recently found a new passion of redrawing screen stills in a classic 70s and 80s anime style. Many of you have watched me work on these when I am Live Streaming on Twitch or Facebook.

You will now receive one of these redraws as a free second postcard every month.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The Screen Still Redraws will be available as Limited Edition (numbered and including certificate) High Quality Large (42.0 x 59.4cm) Art Prints in a Kickstarter of their own in later 2021.

Just Before I Go

2020 has been a difficult year for everyone, and for me, I did not know if I would be able to move forward with my work. 2021 is the time to make up for it and move onto bigger and better things. I know that I will have your support to continue and achieve great things.

Thank you for taking the time to read this update.

Big Warm Cubbie Hugs, Gilles ʕ◉ᴥ◉ʔ

All Packages Sent + Next Nya Nya Neko Cousins Campaign + Current Ongoing Kickstarter
over 3 years ago – Tue, Oct 27, 2020 at 04:55:58 PM

Hi everyone,

I hope this update finds you all safe and well!

I am happy to announce that all parcels have been now sent out. Many have already arrived over the course of this month (with many beautiful social media posts flourishing all over Instagram, Twitter and Facebook) but a few are still on their way to you.

I do apologize for the delay in production, and would like to take a moment and thank you all for helping me bring these beautiful pins to life. I could have not done it without YOUR generous support!

I am considering a second Nya Nya Neko Cousins Campaign with a few more Animal Crossing Pins as well as some new special appearances. I am hoping the idea will be to your enjoyment!

In the meantime, I am running a campaign of Nya Nya Neko Shounen characters, featuring Inuyasha, Demon Slayer, Good Omens as well as some bonus pins for Pokemon. Please feel free to check them out in the link below~!

First Pin Previews! + BFF Hats at 5 Designs Unlocked!
over 3 years ago – Wed, Sep 02, 2020 at 03:48:26 PM

Hi Everyone! I hope this update finds you all well and in good health.

I received some photos from my Manufacturer today which I wanted to share with you all. The process on these pins has been a bit slower than anticipated but I am very VERY excited to see how well they have turned out thus far.

BFF HATS

I am also quite delighted that my Best Fuwa Fuwa (BFF) Hat Campaign has organically unlocked 3 of the 6 hats, and I have now taken the decision to self fund another 2 of the designs. I know that many were interested in the Artemis or Batsy Hats, and I did not want to disappoint.

Please consider having a look at the campaign and share it with those who you think might like the hats. The products WILL be in production by the end of September and should arrive to me in late October for an early winter shipping.

Thank you all so much for your support!

Regards

Gilles

Hello + Estimated Time of Arrival + BFF Beanie Hats?!
over 3 years ago – Fri, Aug 21, 2020 at 08:03:26 AM

Hi everyone, I hope this update finds you well.

Firstly, please allow me to apologize for not being in touch over the last couple of weeks. For those of you who follow me on Facebook, you may already know the reason why, but more or less my living situation is changing drastically and this has brought on a massive strain, stress, a flare of anxiety and depression on my part, and I just couldn't function properly for a short period of time.

I am back, better and ready to keep things going!

Today I wanted to let you know that I spoke to my manufacturer and we finally have an estimated "end of production date," which is September 20th. The order for these pins was a rather sizable one so production takes longer than usual, but hopefully I should have the pins by the end of September and I will be shipping them out Early October at the latest.

Granted that this is if all the pins are to our standards. Each one is inspected to make sure that you receive the best quality product. You will be notified if there are any further delays, but hopefully that will not be the case.

I apologize once again for the any inconvenience.

In the meantime, today has seen the launch of an entirely new product for me. My BFF (Best Fuwa Fuwa) Hats!! I am very excited for this as it is entirely uncharted territory and I really hope you can have a look and see if it is to your liking. I am posting a video and link below for you to have a look.

Thank you all for your time and patience. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to leave a comment below and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
