I'd also still like to do stickers, I might look into a place to order them, but I would need some help from someone in the states to split them up and send them to everyone. If somebody would be willing to do that I'll try to figure out a place to get them.
Has there been any movement here? Folks that have made store stickers (e.g., Brian and David), what services have you used? I typically go with a local printshop. Does it make sense to have someone organize it, then have a distribution sheet made up?

No, I have been spending a decent amount of time corresponding with people and starting to get things moving on the instagram so I haven't been able to. I was hoping to get to it, but haven't been able to. I think I'm going to need someone else to take the lead on that if possible. I'll definitely chip in though.

Uh.. I accidentally missed an important detail of this project.  The pedal I had planned to contribute does not have Ukraine-inspired artwork.  :-[ Hopefully, I will have time to build something else.
I have a couple builds that need enclosures, so maybe one of them will become my contribution.

Nah, don't sweat it. The artwork theme is not a must by far. I have several that do not have themed artwork in the pipeline and every little bit helps

The project I had intended to use for this didn't work out (serious bugs). So, I need to pick out something else and STAT. Taking suggestions!

That might be quite cool. Doing a hand made PCB  along with handmade/etched artwork would certainly make it unique.

Tempting, but the Dirtbaby2 is not complete yet. Coming soon, but not ready for prime time.

I could handle the stickers. I'd need to get a spreadsheet going to distribute them (names, addresses, etc.). I think the best bet in terms of time would be to have my local shop do them and I could send them out to everyone. What size are people thinking? How many would everyone want? Once I have that stuff I could get a quote.

Hey everyone, just a quick update, first three auctions are going. I think I've got 7-8 more pedals that are ready to go or close to ready.

If anyone wants to do a quick profile with the questions earlier in this thread and send a couple pics (workspace, pedals, guitars.. whatever) that would be cool. I'm trying to post a profile one day and an auction the next to keep a steady flow of content. Once I hear more about timelines from everyone I'll speed up posting auctions.

That's a great idea!! I have it on good authority that the guy running this thing might need to find a proxy to bid for him if that happens.  ;)

I got no social media, so I'll reach out to someone when I have a pedal to contribute.

I have no social media accounts either, but I'd like to contribute. I saw Brian was putting up some, so when one of his goes up, I bid $333.

Will that work?
I'm lookin' for this place called Lee Ho Fooks

I'm working on mine right now (literally, I'm standing here blow drying the decal as I type this). I'll send you a profile within a few days.

Thanks again for handling all of this.

Guys this response is awesome. We've already got more than $500 donated and two live auctions.

I started a new thread that condenses most of the info here, so please check it out. The info is all here but since it is spread out over several pages I'm trying to make it easier to find. I'll be making updates there periodically.

This has turned into a larger project than I thought it would, but if we can raise some money it is 100% worth it, you guys rule!!

I don't know that I can compete with that but if Brian does the new Cave Dweller I would be tempted to try.
