TNG inspired tees 🖖
Hey fellow nerds - I've spent the last few months working on some TNG themed designs, and my Kickstarter launches on the 1st June! I recently got diagnosed with some life long, life altering conditions and I won't lie, I'm struggling. Etsy shut my shop down and it was my only source of income, so I'm trying to give my brand a boost with this campaign! TNG is my ultimate comfort show so this seemed like the logical choice 🖖
Any support for this or my website would be so appreciated 💖 (www.sigilstickers.com)

Edit to add: I'm not a fan of dirty deletes so I'll leave the post here despite my disappointment in how it's being received, but wanted to add some things I've mentioned in the comments for clarity:
Absolutely, Etsy shut my shop for having too many copyright take down notices. The Viacom AI bot that swept my shop reported 30+ in a couple of days, including designs that were not part of their IP.
Etsy's policy is dog shit because they allow people to sell stolen art from small creators and often don't honour reports in those cases.
Paramount shared so much artwork from unlicensed artists (who were definitely advertising it for sale, because I bought some!) when Starfleet Academy was airing as they were desperate for better ratings and viewership. They allow and actively encourage unlicensed artwork when it suits them.
The bootlicking for a huge corporation that was just bought by a fascist in a Star Trek group of all places is quite disappointing, I gotta say.
Fun fact that's semi relevant: The Vulcan salute is not copyright as it's a religious symbol.
I have so much other work that's not fandom based.
At the end of the day I'm just a disabled woman trying to make ends meet while the world is on fire. The Paramount execs are probably doing fine.
