My name is Eden and I am a musician, writer, illustrator, programmer,...etc. You might know me as @edenthecat on Twitter (or even better, Ron). I make a lot of different things and have spent the past few years creating 6 albums (Also Also Also, Eden the Cat, Orphan Mothers, Rotten Spooky), a whole bunch of podcasts (Jimmy and Eden), videos (Youtube), blogs (Medium), comics, and more!
Though sometimes I make things just for the sake of making things, my intention is usually to create art that promotes inclusivity and mental health awareness. My goal for 2017 is to continue doing this work, and expand upon it in such a way that I can actionably help organizations who are capable of doing much more than I can on my own.
Your support will help me to create and collaborate much more, and I hope that I can entertain you <3 I'm so fortunate to have friends like you and I'm really looking forward to what's to come! Look below to see what I'm currently making, and a little bit more about what I do!

Monthly Works In Progress
Patrons will get first-listens to works in progress of music that I'm working on. Some songs might end up in their final form on albums, and some might simply be explorations of different sounds.
Weekly Doodle Dump
I draw and sketch a lot, and patrons will be able to see what I've been doodling!
Monthly Playlist
Patrons will get access to what I'm currently listening to every month!

Content Schedule
Last Friday of the Month
On the last Friday of every month, I will post a video to my Youtube channel of a song I'm working on. This might be a new (or old!) song for my project Also Also Also, or my project Eden the Cat, or maybe a collaboration!
Every Other Wednesday
I will post an essay to Medium. Currently I'm writing a series about my Tinder Experiences called Help Me I'm on Tinder, but I'd also like to write about my experiences as a non-binary individual, tour diaries, and more!
Every Other Thursday
Ron Responds: I answer your questions with the best advice that I can give.

Upcoming Projects
The Gamut Podcast
The Gamut is a podcast that I'm hoping to launch in Spring 2018. It will follow a similar format to Jimmy and Eden, in that it will be free-flowing conversations between myself and other creators. While Jimmy and Eden focussed primarily on folks working in the video game industry, the Gamut will have a much wider variety of personalities and backgrounds. Starting as a monthly podcast, the frequency of episodes will increase as I meet further Patreon goals!
Everywhere is Somewhere
Being a musician who grew up in a smaller town, I find it particularly interesting to look at other small towns and see what type of music is being made in those communities. Everywhere is Somewhere will be an ongoing series focused on independent musicians and dedicated to exploration and discovery. Patrons will be able to suggest towns they'd like me to investigate.
Maybe This Will Help
I'm pretty horrible at taking care of myself. I don't make the space to do it, because there always seems to be more pressing things. Maybe This Will Help will be a series of me trying to build habits and explore different methods of trying to make day-to-day life a little bit more manageable. Will making freezer casseroles keep me from wanting to drown myself in a lagoon? Will going for long walks help me to resolve my commitment issues? Will organizing my closet make it easier to manage my manic episodes? Probably not, but let's find out!
