February Update
11 years ago
Hey guys,
I'm going to try and do more regular updates. At least once a month, but we'll see if I can actually pull it off.
Anyways, January was kinda surprisingly rough financially, mostly due to the holidays. I've picked up additional hours at my day job, as well as a second job. This means less time for commissions and "The Sprawl".
Regarding commissions, if I finish my paying work and Sprawl pages for the week and still feel energetic enough for more, I'll do commissions on the weekends. For those who've already contacted me about commissions, I'll contact you before I start work on anything to see if you're still interested.
As for "The Sprawl", I've already reduced my page updates from 2 pages a week back to one page a week. I hope to eventually produce more pages every week again, but it will likely be tied to how much my Patreon support grows. Right now I have about 1300 followers between all my galleries. If all of them were sending me a dollar each month through Patreon, I'd be able to quit one of my paying jobs and put more time towards making comics. So, if you've wanted to support "The Sprawl" but felt you didn't have the money to do so, just remember even a dollar a month helps a lot.

Beyond all that, I'm surviving and by the end of February I should be in a much better place. Let's see if that holds true when it comes time to post the March update!

What helps almost as much is simply spreading the word, sharing the comic with everyone you know who might be interested. Talking about it on forums and image boards. Submitting it to your favourite web comic lists. Voting for it in any "best comic" awards. Etcetera.
Right now, "The Sprawl" is still one of the internet's best kept secrets.
