Have you guys heard of this site?! Very cool. It's like an ongoing version of Kickstarter or IndieGoGo. Basically, creators make a sort of profile page explaining what it is they make, and people can go and back them for each whatever-it-is they put out. It's great because any creative line of work is an ongoing thing, rather than a one-time project (which is what KS and IGG are for).

So... yeah, go check that out.

Oh, and yes of course I made myself a page for my special effects work: http://www.patreon.com/AcrotomicFX
