!ALL STICKERS AND PRINTS NOW AVAILABLE AS REWARDS! (I have decided to order in smaller numbers so I can afford to order all 4 designs!)
Hello everyone! My name is Abi Stevens. I’m a digital illustrator and I make colourful and detailed illustrations featuring monsters, myths, migraines and more!
A lot of my work is inspired by folktales and mythology, and these stickers and prints are no exception as they are both based on creatures of folklore from East Anglia (find out more about the two stories a little further down this page!)
If you’d like to follow the progress of the Kickstarter, you can follow me on Twitter and/or Instagram. You can also find out more about my inspirations and challenges by watching my PechaKucha presentation.
Why Pledge?
As a small independent supplier I can’t afford the risk of funding things like these out of pocket, so without you lovely backers my more costly designs would never see the light of day!
In exchange for supporting the production of these pins, pledging via Kickstarter provides you with a discount because you’re part of the process!
RRP for the stickers once ordered will be £7, but as a Kickstarter backer you get £1 off! Also, as I am ordering these stickers and prints in fairly small numbers, pledging to the Kickstarter means you don’t have to worry on missing out when stocks are low!
Everyone who orders a sticker will be able to choose which one they want as new designs are unlocked. In addition, if you have already pledged when the print rewards are unlocked, you can add a print to your order by adding £12 to your existing pledge.
I have two translucent sticker designs, which will both be approximately almost 14cm wide and 15cm tall!
I also have two print versions of these designs which will be printed 14.8cm x 14.8cm in size and will feature rainbow hot-foiled details!

Goal 1: £130
Black Shuck is a ghostly black dog of massive size, with glowing eyes, which is mostly spotted in churchyards. It is said in some stories to be a protective companion, but in many it is a portent of doom and you will die within a year if you see one!
My Shuck is a little more colourful than it’s folktale counterpart, meaning it will really stand out and bring a little colour to your window, notebook, or anything else you want to stick it to! You need a Pink Shuck in your life! ;-)
The sticker will be 13.9cm wide x 15cm tall, and the palest pink will be translucent to give it a real ghostly vibe!
The Dragon of Bures is a dragon said to have terrorised the village of Bures in 1405, killing a shepherd and his flock. When men from across the country came to kill it, it fled down river to Wormingford and vanished into the marshes. This specific dragon tale is thought to have been developed after villagers encounters with King Richard I’s escaped pet crocodile!
A mythical dragon is the perfect finishing touch to windows, notebooks or maybe even your furniture!
This lovely crocodragon will be 13.6cm wide and 15cm tall, the purple crocodile wilk be solid colour and the yellow dragon will be translucent.

TIMELINE:
– The Kickstarter ends at midnight on the 27th of November.
– Kickstarter funds may take up to 21 days to process, but I’m hoping it will be quite quick so I can order in early December.
– I will begin packing and posting rewards as soon as they arrive, but if it’s going to be too late for Christmas I can provide you with a ‘your gift will be here soon’ card to print if it’s going to be a present.
– Delivery time will vary depending on when the item is shipped and where it’s going, but should adhere to usual shipping estimates for the time of year.
I will keep everyone informed and make sure to let you know if there are going to be any delays.
I don’t foresee too many risks as this is my second Kickstarter and I have used one of the two suppliers for previous orders. However, if there are any delays in processing time I will keep you all up to date.
