Cool Raoul
One video streaming a month? How about ONE VIDEO STREAMING A WEEK! Patrons will get a sneak peek at one new comic every week! How cool would that be?
Whoa Nelly
If we get that high, I promise to start working on that long-form, science-fiction drama webcomic I've been thinking about for years. I'll also keep running Boumeries. That would be so awesome.

Hey there! I'm Boum and I make comics. I'm mostly known for my journal webcomic Boumeries.
Boumeries has been steadily updating three days a week for four years now, an achievement I'm quite proud of. That means no update was skipped, no matter how pregnant I was and how fussy the baby is. (Actually, she's pretty awesome.)
However, mostly for monetary reasons, my partner and I decided not to send our daughter to daycare, so I became a stay-at-home-mom for the time being. It's the perfect time to work on personal projects, some of which include an English translation of my graphic novel A Small Revolution, working on a new comic book, preparing for Boumeries volume 5 and toying with the idea of starting a new webcomic.
But that also means that I haven't taken any freelance work since early 2013 and my income has completely vanished.
If you become a patron, you will be helping me keep on making comics, and not just Boumeries. Not only will it help pay the food and the bills, but it will allow me to cover printing costs for my next book, save for transport and hotel for conventions abroad (I want to go to American cons!), buy art supplies... and diapers. Many, many diapers.
Depending on how much money you are willing to pledge, you will have access to bonus comics that have never been posted on the web, downloadable versions of the Boumeries books, comics-in-progress, and I might even send you originals, too. How awesome would that be?
Please support in any way you can! Every bit helps, even passing the word around. Thanks a million!
