Behind the scenes with Stuart
In addition, my US$10 per month supporters get extra insights into my works-in-progress. Rather than merely learning news about the comics that I publish, I take you deeper behind the scenes.
These insights include patrons-only videos every second month, where I discuss the aspects of my life and research that feed into my comics. As well as additional patrons-only announcements and insights.
Watch with pride as I regularly report back on the impact that your donations are making to my life and work.
Greeting cards promo
Join my Patreon campaign at any pledge above US$15 per month, and I will send you an eight-pack of my Canberra Birds greeting cards as a one-off welcome gift. These are eight greeting cards with blank interiors that you can use for occasions like birthdays and holidays. This is an excellent way to support my comics creation, while also stocking up on cards ahead of Christmas.

About Stuart McMillen
Goals
Goal #1 – Mr. Frugal: the bare minimum
US$2,100 per month.OK, the first goal is for me to earn the bare minimum that I need to operate as a business, and to afford my current frugal personal lifestyle.
Business expenses: paying my art studio rent, business insurance, accountant, website expenses, etc.
Personal expenses: are extremely cheap right now. This is largely due to me paying below-market rent in a five person sharehouse, not owning a car, not vacationing, and similar budget-saving measures.
Until February 2018, I was earning a significant chunk of this income from part-time job working in a call centre. This represented 10 hours per week that I was unable to spend creating my art. However, I have recently (March 2018) quit this job in a ‘leap of faith’ to dedicate myself fully to my heartfelt comics.
Goal #1 is for me to be able to cover these bare minimum expenses from my comics readers alone. Please help me to achieve this important milestone by becoming my Patreon supporter.
