Gigantic Furenzy Update (Patreon)

Hi everyone! The last few months have been insane for me and I haven't even been able to draw nevermind do much else, but the thing I have spent my little bit of free time doing is FURENZY STUFF!

The programmer that I was using to make the Furenzy Website got a large job offer and stopped the project for the time being, however I spent a lot of time outside of that figuring out what to do if this exact scenario happened, so I was prepared!

I am starting out on ETSY before I can create a website of my own, which will happen at some point, just not quite yet. I have been using most of my free time to make graphics for my etsy store and make the necessary steps and savings to start Furenzy up. My plan is to start Furenzy this month and here are a list of steps I have already taken to make this happen:

1) I purchased a 5 gallon tub of pre-treatment fluid for the shirts.

2) I purchased all of the ink supply needed to create all the shirts.

3) I purchased all of the maintenance solutions and tools to properly keep my printer running without error.

4) I took multiple photo shoots of almost all of the garments I will have available.

5) I created and set up my entire etsy account with finished graphics and it is ready to launch.

6) Contacted a secondary artist for Furenzy designs.

7) Tested and perfected all designs files to print optimally every time.

8) I bought all of the shipping materials and equipment needed to ship orders.

9) I bought all of the sticker material necessary to print stickers.

10) I created the sizing charts for the clothing.

There are a few more things I need to do in order to launch, which I will be doing this month with my upcoming payments through my job and commissions.

1) I need to buy a super sonic vibration cleaner for the nozzle on my pre-treatment machine so I can properly clean out the nozzle from the sticky pre-treatment solution.

2) I need to buy a stock of shirts.

3) I need to calibrate all of my shipping equipment.

Moving forward after launch:

1) I need to get my sticker machine running optimally.

3) I need to buy a Cricut machine for dyecutting the stickers.

What will be available soon for purchase:

For now I am launching with just shirts. Shirts will be available in sizes Small through 3XL. If a bigger sizes is needed, contact me.

What will be available moving forward after launch:

I will be slowly adding new merchandise after launch. I will be starting with adding Long Sleeves, then going forward with Hoodies. After that, I will be adding other merchandise with new designs, starting with t-shrits and moving forward from there. After all of that prepared and ready to sell, I will be adding stickers.

So far, here are some sneak previews of images I have put together.

This part of the update, I'd really like to apologize for disappearing for a while. I was put under a state of immense stress because Covid devastated me financially. There were parts of time during Covid that I had a bit of wiggle room with finances because of the situation at hand, but it got to a point where I no longer had that wiggle room and just had to put the pedal to the metal and grind as hard as I could at work to get any of my financial ruin stabilized. I am still not completely stable, but it is much better than it was before. Covid put me in an incredibly horrible financial situation which completely destroyed my finances and credit as a whole. Because I am a single employee business owner, I was completely screwed by the government. I was given almost no money for any of my expenses and was forced to close for months. I have been playing catch up for an entire year and will be for the next few months at least. I went from almost no debt at all to 40k in debt in what felt like a blink of an eye. It was so bad I developed twitches in my eye and a breathing disorder from anxiety and stress coupled with lung damage from having covid itself. But, despite all of that happening, I am happy to say that as of today, with all the work I've put in, I am down from 40k in debt to roughly 14k in debt thanks to my grinding and the last batch of commissions that I've done. I will be forever thankful to all the people that have stuck with me during this entire time, and I will always strive to do better in present and moving forward to the future. I am incredibly excited to get Furenzy up and running as I have been thinking about it almost constantly for the last year and a half! I have put in so much money, time, and effort into the project and I can't wait to share the fruits of my labor with all of you!

Let's get this party rolling!
