Hey, guys!  Maya here.  I am a freelance comic artist and illustrator!  You can find my art at mayakern.com or mayakern.tumblr.com!

Unfortunately, the life of a freelancer is anything but steady and is often highly demanding, causing me to need to sacrifice personal projects to pay necessary fees (rent, food, utilities, pet).  By pledging a small amount every month, you can help me to pay those fees and still be able to create the original content that you love!  This includes my comic Monster Pop!, my silly doodle comics, my illustrations, and future projects like Blood Anchor.  Basically, the more support I get, the more content I can generate for these projects (instead of having to focus on commission work and freelance).

By supporting me, you can gain access to sketches and WIPS, process posts, speed process videos, gain early access to comic strips, get monthly postcards, and more!

Plus, patrons get first access to my work!  When I finish things, I post them here before everywhere else!

Thanks so much for your support!

Maya
