Summer Patreon Love + Sketch Sale
10 years ago
The last couple of months have been crazy. We've broken heat records where I live, which has been not very comfortable for me (high heat and humidity = literal liquid puddle of Mecha).
I'm also settling down.... no more travel, no more shows/signings. I put off dental surgery for over a year because I couldn't afford it (everything I make goes into my bills), and I'm sleeping on a hard surface because my bed broke (literally, the bottom fell out of the boxspring). I need to take care of that and other things as soon as I can.
Work has also been very slow. While I've been working on licensed projects (I just finished cards for Firefly: The Verse last month), they don't pay for several months. I've been open for commissions, but its been a very slow season.
Being aware of that, I've been focusing on my Patreon. It only costs supporters $1 a month (or they can choose higher levels like $5, $10 etc with additional rewards). My patrons are all awesome people, they make it a lot of fun for me. But to be honest, I am finding it hard to build support and I'm not sure what I'm missing or not doing right. I'd love to hear if anyone has feedback or suggestions for me :)
And if you would like to help me out so I can continue to create new art, please check me out HERE!
Also, because I sometimes draw naughty/erotic art (wanna make a request -- that's the place to do it!), Patreon doesn't allow me to show up in their search engine. The only way to find me is by having my link already. Isn't that silly?
As for commissions -- the Canadian dollar crashed to pre-recession lows... and all my rates are in USD. So I've put my commissions on sale for 25% off one, 30% off additional, original art. If commissions are more your thing, please check me out HERE! (discounts are off those rates listed)
I hope everyone is having a great summer :)
