Ever since high school I've always wanted to sell my art in some sort of way or form but never felt confident until graduating university in 2019. Now that I'm done school, I've finally built up the confidence in what I do and started Fish Head Friends, my very own enamel pin shop just last summer. 

My personal goal was to start selling at conventions and expos but unfortunately due to COVID I was unable to participate in any for this year. In order to sell I invested my own money in producing my first series of 6 and produced each pin one at a time once the previous pin made enough to fund the next. As of now I have successfully funded all 6 pins and a bonus 7th charitable Koala pin I made for the bushfires happening in Australia at the time.

Fish Head Friends is all about making new friends, no pun intended. I created Fish Head Friends with the intention of building new friendships and as a way to get to know more people within the creative community. By creating fun and relatable characters to trade and exchange, I want my characters to become a memento or a symbol to represent friendships of all kinds.

Thank you for the support everyone!
