Milestone Goals
Freedom to draw monsters, robots and warriors.
OK so these are my goals- some might say lofty goals, but with your help.... :)
The first goal is for me to make $500 from Patreon. This will allow me to replace a chunk of my time normally spent freelancing, creating the kind of stuff I love and you want to see.
Monsters, robots, and warriors. With breakdowns of how I work and why.

Terminator's battling Vikings?
It's up to you guys- let's come up with some cool ideas

Lets do a project together!
OK- Maybe I'm shooting too high- $3000 is indeed a lofty goal...
But this would allow me to put significant time into working on stuff with you guys.
So let's collaborate on something fun.

Posters and postcards!
Time to hand out some swag!
I've always wanted to do some nice big prints.
Let's vote on which piece gets printed and run off a bunch.
I'll print, sign and mail these out and some of you will get a nice surprise.

Lets make something amazing together part1
Lets make something amazing together part 1-
This is going to be awesome!
Let's come up with a game concept, or a fictional world, or something.
I will task out responsibilities as we go through the creative process together.
I will art direct and help as you experience a creative process.
This will be something that you can say that you were part of.
Real process.
Real roles.
Real results.

Lets take the best work from "Let's make something amazing together Part 1" and put it in a book.
Then lets get the book on store shelves and on the desk of a bunch of Art director friends of mine. :)

These are the unsung heroes, the anti-heroes.... They don’t dress in shiny armor or bright costumes. They have blood under their fingernails and nasty scars. They are misunderstood- essentially good; but might look and act bad.
I love to paint and draw these guys.
They represent everything that pulled me into illustration. Artists like Frazetta, Wyeth, Bisley and Miller are just some of the guys who dragged me here and left me to fend for myself. Their art fueled my imagination, while twisting my perception of what’s good and bad, right or wrong.
I like to paint Uglyheroes, but have been known to paint Golden heroes for beer :)
Hello out there.... My name is Jonathan "Jay" Beard- aka UglyHeroes.
Patreon is similar to Kickstarter in the sense that it is a crowdfunding platform; however instead of pledging to support one project or idea, you are helping to support an ongoing endeavor (such as the creation of art). By becoming a monthly patron, you are not only showing your support for me as an artist- you are helping to give me the freedom to create and produce the kind of artwork that you want to see. Each pledge I receive allows me to spend more time creating content to share with you!
With your support Patreon will give me the opportunity to create and grow as an artist . Doing what I love, while hopefully inspiring others to pick up a pencil and draw... UglyHeroes.

Over the past twenty five years I have made dozens of video games, functioning as a Concept artist, game artist, Art director, Creative Director, Designer, Producer, Director and even President of my own company.
I feel that I have helped many artists grow and excel within the video game industry and now
-I can help you improve as an artist.
If you dream of working in the video game industry, I can offer guidance and support as you develop your skill base.
Then when you are good enough, maybe I can even get you an introduction, and your portfolio in front of the right person.
