Movin’ Out!
This year has been absolutely insane, in all the best ways! It’s hard to believe that a little drawing I did forever ago became a series of illustrations, and the birthplace of the egg bids and the blocky Beez! I will admit, it was getting a little overwhelming to keep up with both the bots, the Beez, and the business side of things! The past year has been dedicated to exploring merch options and come up with new plans. The Skellybots project itself has been through many phases already- starting as illustrations, briefly exploring the nft space, and now comics, Merch, publications (hopefully out soon!), and more!
The blocky Beez were born from a single Skellybots illustration where the Skellybots meet them for the first time and established them as a part of the Bots universe. One Basic Bee turned into many many more, each with their own personalities and unique talents. The Beez added to the lore of the bots universe and help tell the story of the human apocalypse- including TNE labs and BEEVIL industries. An amazing support system has helped us launch the beez into a business; Our regular bee sticker purchases kinda of kept growing and blowing up, and now…
THE BEEZ ARE MOVING OUT!
What does that mean?
The Blocky Beez are getting their own website- www.blockybeez.com. All of the bee sticker sales will be conducted through Blockybeez.com from now on!
Hybrid Merchandise, which includes bots and beez, will be available on either site depending on the theme. (Decisions are still being negotiated!)
Print on Demand products will be eventually be sold in both stores, but for now will mostly be coming from skellybots.
Our Patreon and Buy Me a Coffee accounts are still open with their current rewards- however, we do anticipate changing up the rewards and the goals of each site to raise money for books, comics, and special projects. The project is moving fast, so these changes are coming soon! Thank you for your support!
The Skellybots website and shop will be going through some restructuring in the coming weeks, and will be focusing more on the story, world-building, and project exploration, as well as news and fun stuff.
What Else?
Blocky Beez now has a beezness team!
-Sarah- Our technical/beezness writer!
-Matt- Our finance dude!
-Ceemo- Our Webmaster, graphic designer, and Co-founder!
-Magmo- Co-founder, Creator, and lead artist!

This also means that Ceemo and Magmo will be able to focus on doing what they love best- drawing and creating! Skellybots merch, prints, and drawings will still be happening, including plans for animation and comics. This includes our Ask an Eggbid webcomic on webtoons! (We are working on the latest episode right now!)
