Thank you. You did it. With your support the Armadillo Kickstarter is fully funded and then some. This is a solid foundation on which the selfless, volunteer team at @armadillostock.bsky.social can build out a new idea in illustration licensing. Look for more announcements on what comes next. 🙏
Just 18 hours to go to get in on the ground floor of the licensing platform built by illustrators for illustrators (*whispers* and clients). Support a free-to-use platform for artists to share licensable work. We don't allow AI, and we don't take a cut. www.kickstarter.com/projects/dia...

Less than 48 hours to go. Thanks so much to everyone who has backed, posted about, shared or clicked on the Kickstarter link, mentioned it to friends, followed the @armadillostock.bsky.social socials, and just thought about what a game-changing endeavor this can be. THX! Now who will be backer 100?

Gonna boost this again to let other independent artists know about this upcoming platform! This is probably one of the most promising licensing websites I've seen, especially because they go all in on protecting artists from AI and not nickel-and-diming us in fees. Please consider supporting them!

Definitely keeping an eye on this! I have a huge catalogue of old illustrations that I'd love to license out but not sure how to go about offering them. Having a place to source licensing for those who want to avoid genai would be amazing

I'm so proud of the entire Armadillo team, so grateful for the community support, and so ready to build the best licensing website we can build!
🎉 We did it! The Armadillo Kickstarter is funded! 🎉
To celebrate, we can finally reveal our mascot's name, as chosen by you. Meet Arlo Strawberry Armadillo, or Arlo for short.
This was a true grassroots campaign, and we can't thank you enough. You still have 9 days left if you want to support us!

The @armadillostock.bsky.social Kickstarter campaign is getting real close to its funding goal. Even a tiny amount helps get this licensing platform by illustrators, for illustrators, off the ground. Let’s blow by the 🤑 goal and do something positive for a change! www.kickstarter.com/projects/dia...
