Hi! My name is Erica, aka aurahack. I'm a visual artist and illustrator based in Osaka, Japan. You might know me from places like Twitter, Tumblr, ArtStation, Giant Bomb, or a few others. If you're here, it's probably because you like my art and you want to support me! YAY!

My goals have shifted a lot over the years with Patreon. Currently, this is a platform to continue my endeavors in freelance art and merchandise. I focus full-time on illustration, making artbooks, and designing apparel. I plan on growing with all of those endeavors and your support here means I can do more and do better. <3

What can you expect here? Well, let me... school... you...

Welcome to the Osaka Tri-Point Academy of the Arts. Or, y'know, art school. I've launched a Discord where, in addition to downloads of all my art, you can enroll in art high school!

Ok, so, it's not actually high school. But it is a place for you to seek critique from myself and others, as well as a place to hang and talk shop! About art, about design, about anything really. It's kind of like your high school homeroom—not a place you need to go to, but just a place that's there when 'ya want it.

I'll also be running, for higher tiers, once-a-week Q&As! This can be for more in-depth tutorial or just inane chat/discussion about how I make stuff!

My goal with this was to specifically not make another Discord community for people to join. If you're reading this you're likely already a part of, like, 7 of them. You don't need another one that you won't check and, honestly, I don't have the wherewithal to run one either. So this is something different, more curated, and hopefully more useful to you in the long run.

That's basically the pitch! Plenty of art, bonuses like PSDs and sketch commissions, voting, and access to an art-focused Discord to learn and grow.

Thank you for your support. <3
