Milestone Goals
Produce the comic full-time!
This will cover all my expenses and allow me to treat True Magic as my full-time work. That means more reliable updates (at least one page per week), better art, and time to create more fun extras and patron rewards!
As special thanks, when we reach this goal, every current patron will receive an exclusive wallpaper featuring the comic's yet-to-be-revealed main villains. (Everyone will eventually see the villains in the comic -- but the people who help us make it to this goal are the only ones in the world who will ever see this image of them all together. ;)

Ahoy, and thank you for visiting my Patreon page!
I'm creating the True Magic comic: a free, fun fantasy adventure that you can read right here.
I've been drawing and publishing True Magic for over five years now (ten, counting the first edition), and there's much more to come. It's a huge project: Scripting and drawing each page takes 16 to 20 hours. I've spent thousands of hours producing this story, and I'm happy to post it for free, because it's great fun to share it with you guys. ♥
The one major obstacle has been finances. Even with my minimalist lifestyle, the demands of monthly expenses (and the constant need to "forage" for new freelance work) have left little time for the comic.
A little more patron support would give me a LOT more time to create and post new pages. (Also, as you can imagine, it's easier to be brilliant and funny when there's food in the cupboard.)
Pledging $1 per page means that you might spend a total four or five dollars per month (the equivalent of, say, a small block of cheese).
Maybe that sounds trivial to you, but your support means the world to me -- and, combined with your fellow patrons' pledges, it adds up way faster than you'd think!
Of course you can pledge more if you'd like some extra bonus rewards, or if you just want to help more.
The beauty of it is, whatever amount you pledge, you only contribute AFTER I finish and post new content. You can also set a monthly spending limit -- so, regardless of how often I post content, YOU are always in control of how much you give.
If even half my readers pledged $1 each, we would surpass our goal several times over -- but we only need to reach it once to make all sorts of wonderful things happen.
True Magic will always be free to read, and I'm already updating the comic as often as I can afford. Patron support is about giving me time and peace of mind, so that I can offer more free entertainment for everyone. I'll keep doing my best for you guys -- and if you want to help out, you can make my best a lot better!
LIMITED EDITION GIFT FOR EARLY SUPPORTERS
That $400/page milestone represents a lifelong dream come true. Reaching it will mean having the opportunity to do what I love most -- writing and illustrating this free story for everyone who wants to read it -- full-time. And I want to offer extra thanks to every person who helps me get there!
Whether you pledge $1 or $100, if you're one of the current patrons at the moment when total pledges reach $400, I will mail you a link to a limited edition wallpaper image. It features the three main villains of True Magic:
None of them have yet appeared in the comic, but all three have been mentioned, and the heroes are already feeling their influence. You will be among the first people to see these guys (months before they're shown in the comic) -- and the ONLY people who will ever see this portrait of them all together.
It's a small but special thing -- a way to show my appreciation for the people who offer support early, when it's needed most.
BEHOLD THE FUTURE
Finally, as an ongoing reward for EVERY patron: New comic pages now appear here, in the patron-only content stream, before they show up on the official True Magic site. Whether it's a few hours ahead, or a full week ahead, I always post the newest page for patrons first. ♥
You can see the complete list of bonuses (ranging from behind-the-scenes material to sneak previews and advertising space) at the bottom of this page. Suggestions for more patron rewards are always welcome! I'd like to do everything I can to keep True Magic's supporters happy.
Thank you for reading, and I hope you'll continue to enjoy the story!
