On the subject of coincidences, I went to order one of the Strandbeest mini sets from this very website last week.

Unfortunately their virtual store is closed for a couple weeks more. I was prepared to place an order and wait, but on the website checkout page there was a random person's name as if I was checking out someone else's order. It's probably an innocent mistake, like a hard coded default value or something.

I like to support artists directly, and it was a bit disappointing that there was so much friction with the buying process.



Did you not get the popup?

> During the months of July and August you cannot place orders in our webshop. ... Theo Jansen and his team wish you a nice summer.


July and August are when he's out prototyping new animals, no time to run an online store.


Art takes time.
