 So the pocket mirrors have arrived and boxes of envelopes, which pasto seems to quite like Pasto get off. Can you get off the envelopes? Excuse me Okay, there she is. Thank you. So they just came like this from eBay pretty good and they do not bend ones And they've got cardboard in them. So it's gonna be pretty good Do you mind or Do you mind pasto stop stop yeah, and so now I think I'm just gonna start filling out All the addresses and getting everything ready for when the comics arrived because when the comics arrived I'll package everything up and It can be ready to go in there These are pocket mirrors I had to take them out of packaging because they had my address in them and I've already opened and looked at them But let's look at them together. They're excited to show you guys and these are the rewards that people from my Kickstarter will get yeah, and there's those of them and everybody who backed physical reward Yeah, anybody who backed the Kickstarter will get one of these Physical all tears. Yeah, they look great. Fortunately. They are all not individually packaged So I'm probably gonna be packaging them up myself. That's like another job in itself And yeah, I'm gonna get this all ready for when the comics actually arrived So they're ready to be sent out as quickly as possible because I don't like keeping people waiting obviously you Do you mind? What is this? She's so cute though. How can you be mad at this way? So how do you think your channel's going? Yeah, she loves it. I'm just working on some packaging stuff for these Pocket mirrors, I've got the name of them then for a second only for a second guys I've got these baggies that I'm gonna package them up in and then Do that up like that But then over the top I wanted to have a label so I designed this and I've just printed it out And I think this one's probably too small But you get the picture I cut it out and then I'll bend it over and Didn't pull it down and I've got this like through funny went to little they had this cutter that does all these squiggly lines If will be fun to mess around with that when I'm cutting this out Just just test what it looks like After a short experiment with this failed one That was too small I used this one and I think this looks pretty nice I'm only gonna use two staples and I'm gonna line everything up properly Because my cutter didn't really cut this one very well, but I'm gonna use scissors to cut the the rest of them But I think that looks pretty cool I don't have one so I actually have to make a video for this convention coming up in less than a month So this is the predicament that I put myself in all because When I look at other artists making cool things I get really jealous Left my camera at home. So sorry about this janky quality, but we're ready to go We're sending out all the parcels today and hopefully they'll be with anybody who got them in about two weeks Maybe less hoping Hopy hoping Chris has found this chair. So That's great. Let's go Chris. Come on This parcel arrived from gel arts and I've ordered some things So I just wanted to show you guys look a little burp here Oh, I got a little night from hair and it said something about fellow YouTube artists So so Jess if you're watching this, thank you so much. I love the pins guys You should go get stuff from gel arts because look how cute that is I'm gonna put that on my bag and I got some little toad stickers that are definitely that are definitely gonna go on my sketchbook So thanks so much. Just so cute. Ah, so happy today. I just want to do a bit of a chill vlog I've had a bit of a stressful week. It sounds so pathetic because we took everything in to be Packaged and I'm not really sure how I'm gonna show that but you might have seen clips of us doing all that Packaging and stuff or you might see it after this. I'm not sure how I'm gonna edit it So just bear that in mind and yeah So we've had a lot of stuff to do this week And I was also considering getting a job as a graphic designer while not considering it I am applying for a position and I really hope that I get it because I think it will be really good to get back into Having full-time work instead of doing freelance and hoping for work and things like that And if I do get the job anyway, if I just don't say anything about the job, I haven't got it But if I do get a job then yeah, I'm gonna I want to upload still the same and do all the same stuff But it's gonna be tough. I think so if you see slightly less videos, then no more That's why for the first maybe if I get the job anyway I keep saying it like I've got the job and I'm thinking about all the problems that will happen with my Channel and my personal work. So I haven't got it yet. So it's a bit silly to talk that way Yeah, I'm just uh, I just I did like a design test for that yesterday And it was really nice to get back into that kind of work as well Like I found it really enjoyable because I always consider design like creative problem solving because whenever you design something for instance, I do like website design when you design something There's always some sort of problem and some sort of like issue that you have to fix Like maybe the text is there's a lot of text and you have to fit it in a certain criteria or the branding needs to be Certain way. It's just like little things and I really like it when you find a solution for it Because I think that's what creative thinking is or it can be applied to anyway And yeah, I miss I miss doing stuff like that. So hopefully I get the job having fingers crossed for me Yeah, it will be exciting if it happens and fingers crossed I probably shouldn't tell you guys all about it because now I won't get it and it'll be like I didn't get it. It's just be super awkward. So that's what I've been doing That's why this video is a little lackluster because usually what I do is I I do work on Monday and Tuesday for the video I prep it all and then edit it and then Wednesday I upload it but because I had this design test come through obviously that kind of took priority for that moment because I want the job Basically why this video is probably up late, but I hope you guys don't mind. So I don't know what I'm drawing I'm just drawing random doodles I realized that when I draw mermaids that I always draw the proportion like the actual Physicality of a mermaid is probably all wrong because they would like break their tails with the spine running through and stuff But then I also don't care. Sorry about this long rambly video I'm just gonna ramble for it and tell you guys about my life all the packages So all the Kickstarter is done There's only a few stragglers who haven't given me their address So if you're one of those people please go to the Kickstarter and give me your address because I don't know what to do I can only message you and yeah, so we did all that and it was a bit of a headache We've got to the post office and I was like, sorry To the woman who looked super like oh no, why did they have to come to my counter? It was just a little bit crazy that day We were lugging around these massive bags full of stuff to send it the post office And then what we did was she asked us if we wanted to have her put the stamps on For like 3p each but it was funny because I was like no, no, I don't want you to do it You know feeling really bad thinking it's for women. We rocked up to her counter And now we're gonna make her put all the stamps on and she was like Like mumble something because there was a glass petition. I couldn't really hear her and I was like Oh, no, it's okay. We don't want you to do it kind of thing. So we stood there for like two hours We had to fill in these custom forms anyway and stick them on so we had to say what was in each package And then we had to sign it and date it and put like the price of it and everything and stick those on the envelopes So the comics inside and then we had to put all the stamps on so each country had like a different variant of stamps So it would be like two red ones one pink one for America and then my UK was like one blue one one Purple one and it took ages and then as we were like putting the last stamp on this guy who worked behind Who worked at the post office as well We were handing him the packages and he was like, why don't you just get them to do this in like the shipping department? And I was like what and they were like, yeah, it's just free pee And they would have done it all for you down at the like the department. I was like what I thought she said that She would have to do it. He was like, no, no, that's what she meant. And I was like, no like in my head I was like now you tell us but I was just smiling anyway. I was like, oh, well, we've done it now at least But it just takes so long. It was really fun though. It's really like felt really accomplished afterwards We literally spent two hours in the post office. So in a way, I'm glad that I've done that Kickstarter now because if I ever do Another one and I have maybe more books and stuff I'll be prepared for it this time because it was my idea to do it by country So I was gonna do like, oh, I'll do America the Americas first and then I'll do like Europe and then, you know In succession but this time because our car had broken down. We were borrowing the car. I know what tragic life We're borrowing a car just to send the packages off that day. So I had to get it all done in one day Ah, yeah, but it's all done now. So that feels really strange and just a nice feeling I don't even know what I was saying because Chris was sitting outside and his chair just smashed into pieces And it was a bit like, are you okay? And then it's a bit amusing. So I'm not sure where I was Think I was talking about buying books Now I've got frog in my throat. This is a cursed video. Yeah, it's talking about buying books and The most recent book that I read was called Pichinko And it was such a great book and I heavily suggest it if people are interested in historical fiction because it's about Generations of this Korean family how they moved from Korea in the 1910s Which was colonized by Japan at the time and they moved to Osaka in Japan because they felt like they would do better in Japan and it was about their struggles and you know During the war and up until like the 1990s of how Koreans were treated in Japan and also about like the second world war I always find that really interesting hearing about the second world war I think I've read a few stories about like different places and it's interesting to see what each country was going for at the time But I really do I like historical fiction as well where the characters aren't necessarily real But at the time these things were happening to people In Japan, so it was really good. It was about it was a really long book and I read it quite quickly for me It's about I don't know 500 pages 600 pages and I read it in like six six days Which is really quick for me and I think I just couldn't put it down I love it when you find a book like that It's the kind of for me It was the kind of book that you know when you look forward to reading it later you think about it Yeah, I can't wait to get into bed and be able to read that book I was reading So I highly suggest it if you like historical fiction and I like for me I like reading about hardship as well, especially in historical fiction. It's like reading it and how they overcome stuff I think that was what the hook was for me in the beginning and yeah I really enjoyed it and I'm kind of sad it's finished, but hey, that's what happens Isn't it when you enjoy a book and you read it really fast? I think that's it for me and yeah Thanks for watching this weird short sketchbook session slash vlog about us parceling up all our stuff Thank you to everybody who's funded the Kickstarter and over the months couple of months that I did the project Thanks for the support and I think that's it for all the Kickstarter stuff I'm never gonna talk about it again until maybe I do another one I would love to do one with my slice of live comic because I have so many of the hose that would be really fun But I don't know if anybody would want to support me so soon after just supporting the other Kickstarter if that makes sense I need to think about it a bit more, but it would be nice to have the comics printed and that's it And thanks for watching guys.
