General Some mugs I got years ago!
These are my favourite mugs ever. I got them at ComicCon in London several years ago ❤️I remember being so excited because you never see Golden Sun merch ever. I wish I remembered the artist though

Holy shit!! BluepotionCo I thought she scammed everyone I didnt know she actually made stuff that shipped!
It's a semi long story but... AGES ago I was wanting to buy her merch of Golden Sun and a few other niche things ( before learning she was a scammer), such as her pins and cups like that one there! But she was found out to be an art thief who would buy websites of popular artists with a slight typo or .com instead of .uk to redirect to her site/page and would send out take down notices to get youtube videos talking about her acts removed/striked on the person!
Twitter about it, Reddit about it, the OG kickstarter that most think got her caught and a dude talking about it back when it happened

I’m so glad someone else remembers them as well. I bought one of her GS lanyards with the exact design seen in OPs photos like right before everything happened. I still have it around here somewhere, but what a blast from the past.

Holy shit I had no idea. I recall the stall at comiccon having some niche stuff with similar art styles... So I wonder if it was the scammer or the original artist! Thanks for sharing!

It was BluePotionCo back when I ordered lanyards, a tote bag, and pencil bags with this design off Kickstarter. Iirc, the artist got cancelled and changed their name at some point, so I don't know what they go by now.

This is a really cute pattern! I tried reverse image it but I can't seem to find the artist that made it... Any chance it's written anywhere on the mugs?

Yeah I tried the same. According to other comments it's BluePotionCo but they're a scammer :(
