 Hi there! It's DJV and I'm very excited to announce my Briarfest plans in this video. So if you're not a collector and you're unfamiliar with the event, Briarfest is a three-day festival that was held in Lexington, Kentucky. And it was a festival of horses essentially, so it included lots of model horses, briar horses, but also real horses and their owners and famous horses from around the world. Unfortunately, this event obviously has been cancelled for the last two years because of COVID, but this year I have really actually taken the time to develop some sales and items for you guys to purchase at Briarfest. Briarfest weekend is the 16th, 17th, and 18th of July. I'm going to verbally announce everything that is coming down the pipeline, but official announcements will come closer to Briarfest and when these things are happening, I just wanted to kind of put a bug in everybody's ear and say, this is what I'm doing, so watch out for it. And it is starting now, even though it's the end of May, I already have plans here for the end of May. Saturday the 22nd of May, I am going to be selling my E.T. Custom. He's an older custom from a couple years ago now, but it's time for him to go. It'll be a week-long auction that will end on the 29th of May, which is this Saturday. He will be listed on Model Horse Place, and that's an auction site where you can sign up and include your bids and then pay for the model via PayPal. Time payments are accepted. He's going to start at $100 U.S. and he has the reserve, but the reserve is low, so I believe he will meet the reserve for sure. After that, we essentially have six weeks leading up until Briarfest, and I have created six statement customs to sell these six weeks leading up until Briarfest. So to anticipate Briarfest coming, I'm going to list a single stable mate every week up until Briarfest. So essentially starting on June 3rd, every Friday to Sunday, I'm going to have an ongoing auction for one of these six drastic custom stable mates. So they're not just repaints, they're actually drastics. They have sculpting work done to them, and the paint jobs are pretty pretty awesome. Definitely some of my best work I've done. Those models are all going to be listed at an auction, and I'm going to be listing those on Model Horse Place as well. I will be launching that Saturday the 29th, just as like a formal post saying it's happening. Coming up in June as well on the 5th of June, I'm going to be launching my gambler sticker, and that is essentially a sticker design that is similar to what Briar does with the gambler's choice models. You'll buy into the set price, and you can receive one of four colors. You can buy as many as you want, but there's no guarantee that you're going to get the one you want or the chase piece. And then within the chase piece, there are going to be three winners, and those three winners will receive one of my Briarfest medallions, free of charge. I'm opening it up on June 5th, and it will be going until Briarfest and be closed during Briarfest. Really cool designs though, you're definitely going to want to get on board. The chase piece is so cool. I will be releasing more information about that on June 5th. The week leading up until Briarfest, I will be announcing and revealing everything that I talk about now. I have sculpted a medallion exclusive for Briarfest this year. It's really my second medallion in production. I haven't done one since Arrow. You'll be able to buy a certain amount of those at limited quantities as well for a buy it now price. One of them I'm going to actually do a giveaway. I'm not sure how to work that quite yet, and I'm also going to be painting one as an artist proof that will be auctioned off during Briarfest weekend. I also have three limited edition sticker designs for Briarfest, so they're going to be released at limited quantities on each day of Briarfest weekend. So the 16th, 17th, and 18th, there's going to be a design for each one, and they followed the theme of a horse is a different color, so they're very unique and very cool. I will essentially launch each one during that day, and once they're gone, they're gone. I'm not making any more. They're not pre-orders. They are essentially set quantity, limited edition as well for Briarfest weekend. I will be having three micro mini paint jobs, and they will be available at buy it now prices as well. So I'm going to set the prices. I'm going to list them in the morning, and whoever gets to them first gets a DJB piece. But way back in the day, I actually filmed the entire process of creating Yorg start to finish, and he will be released in a tutorial form that you will purchase to view. It's essentially like a course, so it's going to include more information and be a little more in-depth than my YouTube stuff, and it's going to include links and references and things that you can go to to help learn how to customize, and it's going to dive a little bit more into sculpting the eye, sculpting the face, sculpting hair, and painting that really intricate detailed paint job that came with Yorg. I'm also very excited to launch some exclusive merch, so I wanted to do this for a while, but I've been trying to figure out the logistics of how to do so, but I will be releasing shirts that are limited to Breyer Fest, so they will be an exclusive design that is in conjunction with the stuff I'm releasing for Breyer Fest, and those will be available in t-shirts, crew necks, and possibly long sleeves, and I'm also going to have a hoodie, and I'm going to include some studio run stuff as well, that's just my studio logo. I'm also releasing a plethora of other sticker designs so that you can add them to your cart and you can fill up your cart full of the stuff that you've wanted to buy, but didn't want to like spend a bunch on shipping, so the shipping can be combined in that way, so I have lots of cool designs coming, as well as my best customs contest horse is going to be included in the custom line of stickers that I created previously. Then possibly I also would like to do a traditional custom, this is very tentative, I'm not sure if I'll get there, but I would like to release at least one larger sized custom, we'll see how that goes. The 15th of July is essentially when all of this stuff I've talked about minus the gambler sticker and the Thiebelmaid customs will be released on July 15th, and that's the Thursday before Breyer Fest. On the 15th I'm also going to be releasing the DJB swag pack, and that's going to include everything that I just talked about is going to be in one package at one price, so you get a slight discount on if you were to buy all these things individually, you can buy it once, and it's going to include a lot of the awesome stuff that I've talked about. Everything combined, so you don't have to rush to buy the stuff before it is sold out, you can be a part of it in a sense that you get everything at this one large cost. I'm really excited to announce all of this stuff, and I really hope that everything goes to plan. All of these sales are going to be listed on my website, www.djb.com. I'm going to have a separate page set up for all of my Breyer Fest sales, and you'll be able to add everything to the same cart, and essentially I'm going to put all of my sales available, and obviously after Breyer Fest things will be shipped, some stuff will have to be produced after once I know quantities, and some stuff will be ready to go right away, but you can add everything to your cart. Everything will be priced in American dollars, and everything will include shipping within the price, so stuff is going to be a little bit higher price, but you're not going to pay the additional shipping on top of it. International people, we're going to have to have a conversation. If you are international and you want to be a part of my sales, shipping obviously is going to be a little more expensive for you, but we can work that out privately, so just shoot me a message before you go and buy a bunch of stuff. I'm also very excited that I will be using PayPal as a merchant this time. You can pay with your PayPal account, but you can also enter a credit card or a debit card into PayPal to pay without having an account. Thank you so much for watching this all. This is a mouthful, and I'm very excited. Just wanted to verbally announce all that stuff, and that's my plans. I hope to see you all at BriarFest this year.
