Many artists that have a decent fanbase often start some sort of merchandise store. It's not that difficult to start one with products like T-shirts. With print-on-demand services, almost anyone can create a clothing store without having to do any management. The problem is, the lesser known an artist is, the harder it is to sell products like these. To stand out, you could create products like enamel pins or plushies, you name it. But many smaller artists just don't have the time or the money to create products like that. That's where we want to help.

Blimp is a creative business that mainly focuses on the production of high-quality enamel pins in collaboration with lesser known artists. The artist has complete freedom with the design of the pins they want to make. After they submit designs

we then work with the artist to decide the designs which would be the best to produce, after that we do the rest.

How is Blimp different from a middleman?

Enamel pin middlemen are for artists that want to do everything themselves. If we believe in an artist and their ideas, we take care of the money, production, shipment and sales. The artist themselves does not take any risk and doesn't have to pay anything. After that, every month the artist gets a majority of the profit with the rest being used to fund the production of more pins.

Designs

We have worked with the very talented artist: Niek van Doorn to create 3 original enamel pin designs for Blimp! Once you pledge at least 10 EUR, you will be eligible for choosing one of the designs. When pledging 20 EUR, you can choose 2 pins of your choice. And if you pledge at least 30 EUR, you will receive all 3 of them + some extra stickers of the designs!



Please note that the colors may differ a bit in the finished products.

About Niek

Hi, my name is Niek van Doorn and I am a 19-year-old graphic designer and illustrator. Specifically, I am involved with branding, logo design and digital art. I get really excited by great design, juicy colors and videogames.

When I was told that Blimp offers a partnership with creators to create pins with them, I became very enthusiastic about it. I wanted to make pins for a long time, but I didn't know where to start. Fortunately, Blimp is helping me with this.

Stretch Goal

800 EUR is our main goal, but if we raise more than 1000 EUR, we will start introducing more designs! Including a golden version of Thonk!





Since we aren't 18 yet, we had to ask our parents for permission to launch this project via Ulule. The collected funds will be stored on a checking account, which is managed by mother of Sam Zwart: Margalith Goud. She will ensure that everything runs smoothly with the payment of all invoices and the delivery of the rewards.

Thank you very much in advance for your support!
