final update and payment

i believe its been long enough now, so an update is below:

after handling all the shipping and dealing with a couple issues of lost packages, weve ended up breaking even on the project. this means i can neither pay the artists for their time nor donate to charity, as there is no money leftover with which to do so.

the reason for this is that i got lowball estimates for shipping at the post office - domestic was only a dollar or so off, but the price i was given for international shipping was about half of what it actually cost in the end, on average. my best guess as to why is that the packages ended up weighing a couple ounces more once the bonus items were added and they were put in envelopes, and weight affects shipping cost. i didnt think it would make any difference and had no real way of knowing that it would until after id already done preorders. as ive said before, this was a learning experience! once i found out the mistake i didnt feel like itd be right asking folks to pay more than what id promised earlier, and i was fairly confident we would be able to break even.

the upside is that artists have still been compensated by way of getting decks/bonuses. i wouldve liked to have been able to give them additional compensation or, if there wasnt enough, to be able to donate the leftover funds to a charity, but unfortunately i cant do either.

i stated from the beginning that getting paid wasnt a guarantee and that we may just break even, so i hope this isnt upsetting news. if proof is required, i can screenshot my bank account and/or the projects paypal, i guess?

i apologize for the fact that we didnt come out with a profit due to an error on my part. the good news is that at least enough money was made that we could ship everyones orders, which have begun arriving and hopefully will continue to do so over the next week or so.

ill be sending out an email to the artists about this too, so if you see this post as well, sorry for the double explanation! if anyone has questions or concerns youre welcome to email me (jojotarotproject@gmail) and ill do my best to help. i would vastly prefer email over tumblr dm or ask, since im more immediately notified about emails.

Deck arrived while I was out visiting Raleigh for the day, ironically. Was waiting in the mailbox when I got back.

ha, aint that a trip. glad it came, hope you enjoy it!

[jojotarotproject-blog]

everything has been sent. artist copies, order corrections, and orders for the leftover copies got sent at the same time. i think people are starting to receive their packages now, so if youre still waiting i would give it until about the 15th. and if it hasnt arrived then, let me know.

[jojotarotproject-blog]

Have all the order corrections been shipped out? I have not got my deck yet and I live in North Carolina.

theyve been sent but most people havent gotten their orders yet. im not sure why theres been such a delay! id say if your correction doesnt arrive in about a week, send me an email. i have plenty of leftover extras so if thats the issue i can send them again. or, i live in raleigh, so if it doesnt arrive and youre close by i can always just go and give it to you myself. (shouldve thought of that earlier tbh)

My cards from @jojotarotproject came in at last!! They’re gorgeous, all the artists did such a fantastic job!

My piece for the @jojotarotproject!!!! I’m late posting mines but it as fun to work on!

[jojotarotproject-blog]

oh im dumb as hell i forgot to say anything but i finally got the rest of everything to the post office a day or two ago -- this month is all kinds of busy with exams (and with my birthday tbh :'/ ) so im sorry for the wait.

yall expect your copies to arrive between a few days to a couple weeks if youre not in the us! (if you dont live here and youre concerned that your package hasnt arrived after a few days, the most likely answer is that it is in customs being processed, not lost. thats why i give such a long delivery estimate -- nothing i can do to rush it through customs! but like if other non-us people start getting theirs and you still havent then its time to hit me up.) thanks for your continued patience and of course if theres a problem with your order just send me an email and ill get you helped as soon as im able.

i was given the go-ahead to post my piece for the Jojo Tarot Project ( @jojotarotproject ) since all decks are being shipped out! i was assigned Abbacchio and the 5 of Cups. 

The Five of Cups represents a lack of fulfilment or non-attainment of expected results. You are feeling disappointed that a situation has not turned out as you had hoped, and instead of moving on to greener pastures, you are wallowing in self-pity and regret about what has been lost. The water spilled from the cups shows that the cause for regret is more emotional than financial. You are quickly becoming disillusioned with life and increasingly pessimistic about your future. The Five of Cups suggests that you are having trouble letting go of the past and learning from your mistakes. This card can often reflect a person who is caught up in the past and unable to move on, missing out on new opportunities. Bitter memories from the past continue to bother you, and often a great deal of the blame for past actions is placed on yourself and your inadequacies. To some it would seem that there is no way out of this situation but the Tarot always shows problems on one hand and solutions on the other

The 5 of Cups was a super good choice for Abbacchio, both in relation to his story as well as his past and how it affects his decisions throughout Vento Aureo. Abbacchio is a character that really resonates with me for a myriad of reasons, so i was really excited to not only get into this project, but also be able to choose him as my art piece! thanks so much to the organizers of this project, i am super amped to get the card deck in my hands and see everyone’s great work!

some orders were mailed out the other day but more are going out tomorrow. i space them out like this so i dont overwhelm one post office :'/ so look out for your artists copies/order corrections/purchases to arrive within a few days or weeks, depending on if you live in the us or not!

[lrukasensei]

aaand heres my card for @jojotarotproject, a zine that i organized. folks are allowed to post their work now so i get to show mine off as well! even though this piece is kinda old now, im still pretty proud of it!!

[robidium]

I’m finally allowed to post my full card illustration for @jojotarotproject! My card was the 3 of Swords, which foretells profound pain and loss, but also personal growth and new beginnings.

I’m super proud of this piece, and all the other illustrations I’ve seen look amazing! I’m very excited to get my own copy of the deck :>

[laughing-egg]

Everyone’s posting their pieces for @jojotarotproject so here’s mine! I did the Three of Wands with my darling boy Emporio - I’m so grateful to have been a part of this project!
