HELLO EVERYONE later this year, I'm going to be launching a patreon!

I'm going to be upfront, freelancing in america is kind of a nightmare. I've held off doing patreon just because the logistics of it made my brain hurt, but student loans and taxes wait for no one. (I'll also look into doing the same thing on ko-fi to give everyone interested a patreon alternative)

to be clear: I have no plans to suddenly paywall anything I was planning on posting, or to do an early access situation because it just really kills the vibe of what I like to do (comics, for me, lose something if some people can read before other people can because of a paywall. this isn't a condemnation of people who do choose to do an early access method! thinking about doing it with my own work puts a bad taste in my mouth because art takes on a social aspect for me I am loathe to lose.)

all tier rewards wold function as a "thank you for your patronage!" type of deal. nothing posted there would be anything I was planning to post publicly (so rough drafts, scrapped ideas I canned halfway through finishing, scans of my warm up sketch book, extremely early drafts of projects I am thinking about but will need to go through six more edits before it's close to postable, those kinds of works would be on patreon because those aren't things I post publicly and never had a particular interest in doing so beyond the occasional upload).

if it works out, this actually means I'll be able to post MORE work and even bring more of it to full colors (which is something I enjoy doing, but just don't have the time for) because I'll have an additional income source and won't need to spend a significant amount of time juggling freelancing gigs and crying about student loan debt. (I wish this was a joke but my god. the economy)

tldr; no art that I was already planning to post would be locked behind a paywall! patreon rewards are things I don't already post publicly and function as a kind of thank you card! ultimately this will allow me to post more work and begin longer form comic projects!
