Milestone Goals
Light, paper and insurance
You keep the gallery insurance paid, my snazzy daylight fluorescent bulbs glowing, and paper in front of me. I'll do a draw from all patreons for a bonus postcard sketch in the mail!
eBook Extravaganza!
Get a serial eBook format series of drawings. At this goal you all receive an eBook every time I finish 12 drawings. Start a publishing extravaganza. Plus the draw increases to 2 patrons to receive a postcard sketch!
Gallery sustainability
At this goal the gallery would be self-sustaining! Yes, really. At only £250 a month you can help provide a great set of art and displays for the public. I'll add a special gallery-related reward for all the patrons. And a draw for 3 patrons to receive a postcard sketch!
Sustaining and framing
Help me start framing original drawings to exhibit them with galleries and art fairs - getting them further out into the world! And a draw for 4 patrons to receive a postcard sketch!
Sea, Sky, Stone Take Two
The follow-up project to my Sea, Sky and Stone book could continue at this goal level. The project will involve the publishing of a second sketchbook of all new drawings. All my Patreon patrons would receive the finished full iBook version for helping me continue with this long-term project. (Sea, Sky, Stone was a coast, geology and astronomy published sketchbook created through Kickstarter)
About
Full time artist on the Yorkshire coast in England. Creating paintings, drawings, collecting real fossils and plastic dinosaurs, forever taking FutureLearn classes after doing far too many degrees, and playing World of Warcraft when the pencils wear down. I'm a strange combination of 14-year-old boy geek trapped in the body of a 40-something year old woman. (yes, my laundry stays on the floor) I discovered Patreon when someone told me about it for gaming and comic books - so I'm supporting some cool projects!
I also have a grown-up side that reads a lot, collects antique illustrated books, collects art, goes to business events, is great with spreadsheets and budgets, cleans once a week, tries to grow salad ("try" being the operative word), and has been running an art studio business for 15 years.
Decided fine art is greatly underrepresented on Patreon... so here I am!
ps. My main studio has an air hockey table. Because it fit.

What started as a single Kickstarter project to create one sketchbook is now a long-term project of a drawing studio and a NEW art/science GALLERY!
Yes, the drawings are becoming an exhibition body of work in their own right. A second book is in the works. And, much to my surprise, my 2016 plan for opening a small art/science gallery is coming to fruition *right now*.
A drawing project Patreon supporters made possible, the "Long Drawings":
Grejczik Gallery is now a new tiny little art/science gallery in Scarborough, on the NE coast of England.
The new gallery on day 1:
This Patreon campaign helps me push forward with my drawing practice while managing the gallery and shows of both mine and other artists works.
• Your support help keeps me in pencils and gallery wall paint!
• You are helping me carry on my passion for drawing and promote it to others.
• You are helping me support and promote other artists.
• You are supporting getting art & science in front of the public...
...with a gallery schedule that will include fortnightly changes of a publicly viewable drawing about a science theme and 4-5 pop-up exhibitions on relevent themes like Hubble Telescope's anniversary, Tesla's Birthday, Fossil Festival (a Yorkshire event), the International Year of Light, and Darwin Day (though I'll have to throw in some Wallace, too).
Who am I? Why support an artist?
Hello from Scarborough! I'm a professional artist relocated from London to a little town on the northern English coast where I make lots of art including drawings of the sea, the geology in the cliffs, and occasional star observations. (Occasional because This is England after all, we trade in cloudiness.) While painting I also got my degree in physics focusing on astrophysics. And then an undergraduate diploma in geosciences. Sometimes my job means choosing between buying more pencils (oooh, 4B!), cobalt blue paint (figurative yum), or a tin of baked beans* (literal yum).
Through Patreon you literally become a patron of the arts and help keep me in pencils and beans so I can amuse you with my strange explanations of how these drawings really are geology. Honest, they are.
What's on Patreon?
• Finished drawings ready for exhibition - you see them first! I'll also add links or files to each post with Sketchbook scribbles, studio videos, photos of the gallery exhibitions, and a drawing download for you to print!
• Original drawings by post. Pledge $10 per project and I'll send you a new original postcard sketch in the mail.
• Art bundles. Pledge even more and you can get a goodie parcel of drawing, print, studio bits, gallery ephemera... all sent straight to your door.
My goals?
--Each month, alongside managing the gallery, create an exhibition quality drawing to build a collection for future shows. To get the drawings out into the world at exhibitions and galleries, as a separate set of art from the paintings. I'm on the lookout for galleries to represent the drawings as a body of work in their own right.
--To establish the art/science gallery and make an awesome display every fortnight, and show artists' work 4-5 times a year for proper mini exhibitions.
--To engage with the public through talks about art/science topics, presentations for art societies and science clubs, demos for children.
Overall, encourage the creative crossover between art and science!

*Disclaimer: I don't actually buy that many baked beans but they're good for the artist mythology. I far prefer lentils or jars of golabki.
