Milestone Goals
Tell the World
If I can get $100 in donations every month I will be able to purchase more Facebook advertising. People seem to love my Facebook posts but not everyone sees everything which is mega frustrating! If I could advertise more on Facebook then that would mean more success in building this Patreon and in adding more reward perks!
NEW PRODUCT: TEMPORARY TATTOOS!
If you can all help me reach this goal I can get some temporary tattoos printed and then I WILL SEND ALL OF MY $5 AND UP PATRONS A SET OF TEMPORARY TATTOOS!! Additional sheets will be made available for purchase in my Etsy Store.
NEW PRODUCT: PATREON STICKER PACK
If you can all help me reach this goal then everyone who has pledged $5 or more when this goal is reached will recieve a sticker pack with at least one exclusive Patreon backer only sticker (maybe two if you all decide on a good one.) I will put together some sticker designs and you all will get to help me decide what you want in the pack! Left over non exclusive designs will appear in my etsy.
Spread the love
If you can help me reach this goal then I will seek out 50 new patreons and donate to them. We have to help each other out!
NEW PRODUCT: PATCHES
If I can get to this goal then I will design some new products in the form of iron on patches! I'll create at least one special design exclusively for my Patreon subscribers. When this goal is reached everyone who pledges $5 (at the time the goal is met) or more gets the special PATREON PATCH! Other patches will become available in my etsy
Frame Some More of My Paintings
I want to be able to buy nice frames for my watercolor paintings and for some of my prints. My artwork does not necessarily fall into a standard size of frame that I can pick up at Michaels for cheap. I would also like to be able to put my art work into nice frames so that I present it for sale. I can sell my paintings as are, without a frame, but a lot of people want to be able to buy something and then just hang it without fuss. I recently bought frames for 3 paintings and it cost $160, I'd like to frame more stuff but I cannot at this time. If I could frame more stuff I could also present my paintings at some little gallery shows!
Buy A Popup Tent
I'd like to be able to buy a pop up tent so that I can attend outdoor festivals. Right now I am restricted in where I can go to sell my art work and handmade earrings. I would like to be able to expand my reach and find more people who appreciate what I do. By being able to go to a larger variety of art shows I will be able to find a larger audience and hopefully become more of a self sufficient artist.
NEW CAMERA TO SHOOT MORE VIDEOS!
My camera equipment is slightly above basic, I have a Nikon Coolpix L830 which takes really great pictures but I am hesitant to to shoot videos with it because it exhausts the battery very quickly. Right now I am using my IPhone 4S and a time lapse app to shoot speed painting videos. Ideally I'd like to be able to get and really nice camera just for shooting time lapse videos and if you can all help me just pay for part of it I'd be super happy and I could make lots more awesome content! I'd also build a rig to shoot overhead videos instead of just shooting off to the side on the table.
NEW PRODUCT: HALLOWEEN COLORING BOOK!
If I can reach this goal I will draw and print a Halloween themed coloring book. I will make sure to create awesome line drawings of some of Halloween's most popular themes and characters and I will likely ask everyone for ideas on what I should add to the book. This coloring book will be sent to all Patreon backers that pledge $5 or more at the time the goal is reached. Additional copies will end up in my etsy for purchase.
Upgrade Computer and Cloud Storage
The computer I'm currently using is a little outdated. I'd like to be able to get a shiny new one so I can work more efficiently with my creative software and provide even better content.
Full time artist
If I can hit this goal I can be a full time artist and provide more content for my Patreon and really expand my offerings and rewards.
About
I grew up in Michigan and spent my childhood locked away in my room reading, drawing, and writing poetry. The first thing I ever wanted to be when I grew up was an artist. As I grew up I drifted away from that desire thinking that I needed to do something more practical with my life and tried to pursue other things. When I got into high school I decided that I only wanted to be an artist for the rest of my life and nothing else interested me at all. I knew that if I tried to do anything else I would end up being miserable. I moved to Chicago and went to art school. I attended the American Academy of Art where I learned all about drawing the human figure and how to be an illustrator. I graduated in 2013 and since then I've been trying to attract attention to myself and my artwork. In 2014 I decided that I would start trying to create another use for my art with illustrated jewelry and accessories. Now I sell my handmade earrings and art prints all over Chicago. I'm trying to learn more about being a professional artist and how to earn my living solely as such.
