I'm pretty much an unstoppable creative force. Even as full-time mother of a two-year-old, I manage to blog nearly daily with fun stories about being a mom in Alaska, building my own house, camping and creating. In any given month, I might share between 1 and 5 short stories and poems, several sketches, and a finished piece of artwork - whether a simple character study, a complex coloring book page, or a big painting. I write non-fiction for other artists and writers, I manage fun projects like Torn World (a shared science fantasy world), Sketch Fest (a monthly creative jam for visual artists), and Portrait Adoption (an artwork service for people seeking character portraits). I share photographs most days - usually of my (incredibly adorable) daughter, but also of the beautiful places where I live and travel to.
As a patron of my work, you're helping me spend more time on these things. Funds will allow me to hire a babysitter for dedicated (non-toddler-distracted) time. You're giving me gas money to take trips up into the mountains for photographs, and art supplies to keep creating. Given the choice between (uncreative) paid freelance projects and things I want to create - I'll be able to pick the latter, without feeling like I'm taking away from my household input.
It's hard to express how deeply I appreciate that kind of patronage.
Most of what I do, I release freely - blog posts, fiction, non-fiction. As a patron, you're assuring that more of that gets made... and you'll get a few extra perks! I'll give you periodic discounts on my coloring books, digital stamps, and prints.
I'll also deliver every patron ($1+) something patron-only every calendar month - a poem or story that is otherwise restricted to supporters, a sketch that no one else gets to see, a desktop or wallpaper, a digital stamp to print and color or make cards out of, a walk-through of a piece of artwork, a highly-detailed coloring page - or something else entirely! If we make it to our monthly goal of $250, I'll be able to provide a shiny NEW coloring book page to all supporters, every single month!
Several of the reward tiers also include a discount on all physical publications and original artwork. Shipping is additional, and not subject to the discount. Higher reward tiers include rewards that are sent every other month, starting the second month of your paid subscription. International supporters will receive their physical rewards in bundles of two, every fourth month, to account for the higher cost of shipping. It's a fun way to get a wonderful surprise in your mailbox periodically!
I'll also give everyone a monthly round-up of everything else I've been doing, with links to my public work and notable blog entries.
There are lots of other ways to support my work - even if you don't feel compelled to be a patron, feel free to use the follow button (in the upper right above the title graphic next to the social media buttons) to add my public activity to your feed and keep tabs on what I'm doing!
