Why Shop with Perpetual Animation?

Our goal is to support living artists. 

The landscape of American economics is difficult to traverse. Artists, in particular, face challenges to long-term financial security. This is exacerbated as artists age or are incarcerated. 

When you buy our products, the artists get paid a majority of the profit. Our goal is to sell quality goods of various sorts to give our artists plenty of opportunity to have a stream of funds coming in. We handle the design and business side of things to keep it simple. 

Made to Order

Your items are made when you order them and are shipped from the closest fulfilment center so that shipping costs and carbon footprints are minimized. This takes the pressure off of artists to guess at inventory needs. It also shelters them from the possibility of losing money and sitting on merchandise - not to mention not being able to afford a pile of merch in the first place. We get those barriers and expenses out of the way. 

Tipping

When you check out, you are offered the option to leave a tip - we enabled this option as a way for you to contribute to the artist supply fund. Money "tipped" to Perpetual Animation goes into a fund that is distributed to artists in need of supplies that might just be out of reach. 

Fundraisers

From time-to-time artists we feature need a little extra help. We contribute to fundraisers where appropriate and will share them with our audience too! Our goal is to do what we can to appreciate the livelihoods of artists of the 21st century.
