Hello my name is James Ingles. AKA Jingles. I’m a Male biped, a Melburnian, a beer drinking music junkie, a pizza eater and a fan of fish & chips, a camera owner, a street photographer, a design buff and maker of stuff, a typography fiend, and an aspiring artist.

I’m a working artist, i.e. I have a day job and I practice photography and design during my down time. But I’d love to be able to make more stuff more often but it’s hard since most of my wages are spent on living expenses like putting a roof over my head, utility bills, food, transport costs etc... leaving very little left over for me to spend on my art and turning my photos and designs into physical things. I have so many ideas, designs, and photos that I want to turn into physical things but I don’t have enough money to do it. And that is why I am here. I would love to be able to ditch my job to practice photography and design full time and to earn a living from it which is why I have hooked up with Patreon.

I believe that art is valuable and artists deserve to be able to make a living from their art and that if you like the art that a particular artist produces, i.e. if their art enriches your life, then you should support that artist if you can by buying their art (a song, an album, a book, a painting, a photo etc…) or by donating to them, or supporting them in some way so that they can keep making art.

This belief is why I am here on Patreon to ask for your support. I think Patreon is an excellent platform for supporting artists that are making cool stuff.

However I don’t expect that you just give me money for nothing. I’ll lavish you with cool stuff if you are kind enough to support me. Not only will your donation get you my undying gratitude you will also get additional perks that free-loaders don’t get. Stuff like Access to exclusive Patreon only posts and updates where I’ll post photos, design ideas, works in progress, basically stuff that you won’t find elsewhere, postcard size prints of my photos, first dibs and discounts on stuff that I make that I put up for sale… and more. Checkout all of the perks to the left.

Checkout my photography on my web site Kulture. Have a peep at some of my old design work on Photobucket or find more photos on Ello and even more photos on my abandoned Flickr account. Oh yeah I also have a Blog too.

So if you like my photos and dig the stuff that I make please consider supporting me by making a monthly donation to help me make more stuff more often. Thank you.
