Aloha can sometimes mean goodbye...
For anyone that follows my work, I am sure you have noticed that woodcuts and the "OneVib3D series" have been the main focus of my personal product releases for the past year. Each release was received with an incredible response, with orders going out all over the world! I cannot express how grateful and honored it makes me feel to have such avid supporters of my work that I was able to branch off into something new and different and was backed 110% by all of you!
OneVibe is not a large brand or company, in fact, it consists of nothing more than myself working out of a home office. Like anything else, that can come with many different advantages and disadvantages; one advantage is that I can be a little more transparent with what's happening behind the scenes, allowing all you avid collectors out there to stay fully in the loop.
At this time I wanted to inform you all of the uncertainty surrounding my future woodcut releases. Up until this point, I was beyond fortunate to have a good friend that was willing to go above and beyond in producing them for me, even though custom orders like mine were not something the company generally offered. He was THE crucial component in getting the woodcuts produced, but will no longer be a part of that company. Thus ending the possibility to get custom orders like mine made through them. Upon hearing the news I began a search to find any connections that could offer the same production capabilities, but much to my disappointment, I have not found anyone that is offering all the services that are needed to do what I have been doing.
I was able to rush 2 final orders in, but they may be the last ones like it to be released. I have had huge plans for where I plan on taking the woodcuts and other laser cut artwork, so I will not be ending my search for production. I just wanted to make sure anyone that was looking to own one knows that I do not currently have a solution at this point in time beyond the next 2 releases. Once these are gone, that may be it.
In the meantime, I have a few new releases lined up and will continue finding fun new ways to bring my art to you! This week I will be announcing a spring raffle that will allow some final opportunities to win various sold-out woodcuts and other OneVibe goods. Also, details on how to get your hands on the final woodcuts.
I cannot thank you all enough for the continued support and I am thrilled to see what new possibilities this will lead to and the fun new ways we can continue to spread good vibes together!
Mahalo
