July, Patreon, and other stuff
3 years ago
Been a while! Just dropping a bunch of updates and what's been going on since the last journal. I'll keep it short and sweet.
- My Patreon is life (as many of you have noticed) but I'm still pretty new to figuring out how to run one and the best method to go about it. As of now things are a bit chaotic, so as much as I want to push it I'm holding back until I'm in a more stable position. More on that next. I don't recommend joining in on it just yet since it's been a big struggle for me so far, ESPECIALLY the higher tiers.
- I'm moving! A lot has happened, perhaps too much. One roomate moved out, leaving me and another to handle covering a rather expensive apartment in the process. We *were* doing okay, then the apartment management dropped a higher rent price on us, and we just can't handle it. (For example, we pay 1800ish already. The new amount is 2200ish. That's a bit much for two guys, so I've gotten a part time job to cover what my patreon cannot handle. So far so good.
Our ETA to the new place is mid August, so this month is going to be REALLY busy trying to balance work, art, and moving. I deeply appreciate everyone's patience during this time, and especially those of my patrons. You guys have been absolutely amazing and respectful while all this mess is going on xvx
Lastly- As much as I'm fighting to keep afloat and escape this place, it's still rough going. So at the recommendation of several patrons, I'll be putting a link up to my ko-fi here. It's entirely voluntary, but even a small amount will help with the logistic madness that is moving and help with other things like medication and food. https://ko-fi.com/underscoreb
Can't wait for August rolls around so I can go back to art full time and work on other fun stuff- Animations, reopening for commissions, and maybe even an art podcast with TheBlackMarten.
I look forward to working with everyone and maybe even seeing some friendly faces in the Patreon discord!
Keep on keeping on, I know it's been ugly all around for lots of people, especially in the current US climate.

The rent before the price hike sounded awfully steep. Hope all goes well with your move.
