#StickingTogether in the Face of COVID-19
Tough times are upon us. Here at Bare Tree, we are closely monitoring the situation that is developing around the world. We hope everyone is staying healthy, safe and socially distanced. Our team of artists and developers is working remotely continuing to make engaging stickers and augmented reality effects that will hopefully bring some brightness to people’s lives.
As events are cancelled and people are using social distancing to combat COVID-19 continues, many businesses are feeling the strain. Among them are indie artists, many of whom rely on sales at conventions to make their living. Being illustrators, animators, and designers ourselves, we want to salve some of the hurt our community is currently experiencing due to cancelled conventions, commissions, and projects. Because of this we are opening up our services and expertise to any artists interested in selling their art as stickers for the next 90 days.
Our team will work with the artists to determine what work of theirs would be best as messaging stickers or give tips on best practices for stickers if they choose to create something new. Once the stickers are complete, we will publish them for sale on popular messaging apps like iMessage and Google Play. All ownership of the work will, of course, remain with the artist. The artist will also receive 100% of the proceeds.
Sending hugs from Tod and Sal, a sticker duo created by former BTM Sprout, Amy!
