please help :|
if you didn't find an answer up there shoot me an email!
this is the MOST ASKED question!!! :D and i have an answer for you!!!!!
About four times a year, i will hold a limited preorder on my shop (called "Now Serving") of just a few select characters. I take a few hundred orders during each preorder, and work on them over the next few months!!!
I make EVERYTHING by hand, one by one, and it takes so long! As my shop has grown its been challenging to keep up with demand, but this is the best way I've found to do it. It's impossible for me to have my characters up in the shop all of the time because I would not be able to keep up with the amount of orders I receive, and Ill never truly catch up. 😭 I tried it and it destroyed me mentally lol, to never truly finish working.
but NOW with the preorders i am able to make a set amount of characters within a loose time frame and it keeps me sane and efficient. :)
If there's a particular character u have identified with and really want but have no idea when it'll ever be available, just contact me at anna@stayokaystudio.com !!! :D I’ll see what I can do! <3 i will never deny anyone an opportunity to adopt something of mine if they reach out to me!!!!
YES!!! I have a patreon, another social media platform where you can support me extra if you really like what I do!!!! If you subscribe to either of my two tiers, Homie Tier or Odds n Ends tier, you will get access to my secret shop, which has a variety of characters up for adoption almost all of the time! :D this is how the majority of people adopt the good folk!
here's the link if you're interested!! :)

Orders from the printshop ship within 3-5 business days!!! If you order from my Now Serving general preorder, the timeline will be around 8-10 weeks, and if you order from my patreon shop, the timeline will be around 10-12 weeks. My stuff takes a long time to create because of the massive amount of demand and orders i take, I wish it was faster but it's just me making hundreds and little guys by hand. :)
Once shipped, you will receive your order within 2-5 business days if you are located in the United States. International orders can unfortunately take anywhere between 1-5+ weeks. :( If it's a package you'll be sent a tracking number, and if its just through letter mail we just have to trust the postal service that it'll arrive within a week :) WOO!
You bet I do!!! Absolutely!!!!!
Of course you can! If you live in El Paso just let me know and we can sort things out and get you what you ordered! :D I also sell stuff at my family's bookstore Brave Books located on Arizona St if you wanna check out the items I have in stock there :)
Definitely! If you need to update your address or take an item off of your order, just email anna@stayokaystudio.com so we can get you set up with the correct information :D
Just contact me through anna@stayokaystudio.com and let me know so I can fix dat for ya! ;) i am here to serve u
OH GOD! sometimes i do make human errors!!!!!! ILL FIX DAT FOR YA THOUGH!
If your item comes in damaged, incorrect, or incomplete, just hit me up at anna@stayokaystudio.com and I’ll fix the situation in whatever means possible!!!
the most important thing to me is making you happy and getting you what you need/ordered. :) WOO! i make mistakes not often.... but often enough. HAHA so pls reach out :)
Of course! Just let me know within 30 days of receiving your order what you’d like to do and we’ll work together to make things right!!! :D
any refunds should be deposited back into your original payment method 3-5 business after we agree on the refund! :D
i honestly love to see people make their own little tributes to the good folk or drawings of them!!!! :D it makes me really happy to know that others like my stuff so much they want to dedicate their time to creating something inspired by my lil guys! The good folk are for all and will always be for all. so if u do draw them or make one or sew one or crochet one PLEASE SHOW ME I WANNA SEE!! :D <3
however what is NOT cool is recreating them with intentions of selling them. That directly hurts me!
please don’t take advantage of other artists. credit properly, ask artists directly if you’re thinking about trying your hand at their work.
I do feel like there is a fine line between being inspired by another artist and copying exactly what they’re doing. I trust intent and also just love to see other people being inspired by my own art, that is so special to me :)
if it weren’t for adventure time, ugly dolls, kid robot, giant robot, tokidoki — my art wouldn’t be the same! We all have our own influences that we have been shaped by, and if i could possible be that influence to someone else like holy shit i am there for it <3
Definitely shoot me an email at anna@stayokaystudio.com so we can talk about it! Generally I am stupid busy but I’m always open to new ideas :)
oh my god DO IT! i dare u…. but also show me pics of it. :D I have an option in the prints n’ shit section to buy a tattoo ticket which is basically my absolute permission to get some of my art tattooed. :) you get an actual ticket mailed to you, too!!!
