Projects I’ve done in the past included: Boozle, an all-ages fantasy webcomic about a wizard and a cyclops on a quest to collect MacGuffins, Behind the Scenes, a slice of life comic about high school stage crew, autobio comics, including Grief is Weird, a collection of comics about the sudden death of my mother, short stories and some printed work! I'm also one half of Hell Yell Comics, which are comics I do in collaboration with Natalie Riess, including Dungeon Critters and KK Summer Jams Mix. I'm spread out all over the place honestly, haha.
When I started this Patreon (like 4 years ago at this point holy cow) I was still living at home and my main goal was to help pay for student loans with dreams of maybe being able to quit my retail job. Years later, I’m halfway across country, but I still need help with student loans and I dream of being able to quit my retail job, haha. But in that time, the support I’ve gotten from Patreon has been so appreciated, especially as I was dealing with a lot in my personal life and my art output wasn’t so great. Now that I feel like I’m finally in a more stable place in my life I’d like to finally update my Patreon and my rewards to reflect that.
I completed the first volume of Boozle in the beginning of 2017 and since then I’ve decided to switch to a different comic, a semi-autobiographical, semi-slice of life, semi-fantastical comic called My Cat Can Talk and Honestly I Hate It. The story follows Helen Wampole, a young woman that’s perfectly content to live quietly until one night she accidentally hits a magical talking creature with her car. As time goes on, however, it's obvious that her new talking cat is not the biggest problem in her life. It’s slated to debut sometime in 2018. For this soft relaunch of my Patreon I intend to focus my efforts on this comic to get it out there for everyone to read.
So let’s talk rewards!
$1: Business as usual
Every dollar counts! As it is now $1 gets you access to my behind the scenes Patreon blog, where I post WIPs, videos and completed PDFs. Updates tend to be fairly sporadic.
$5: Discord Access
At $5 you’ll get a link to my own personal Discord server, where I will actively be posting WIPs, warmups, and the occasional doodle request. Also good for just general chatting! My main focus for this server will be development of My Cat Can Talk And Honestly I Hate It but I’ll also keep it updated with whatever other projects I have. Updates will be fairly frequent.
