This level allows me to be sure some bills are paid, which means I have some time to spend with all of you! I will jump online with you all once a month on Google Hangouts or something similar (to be determined) and have an impromptu comic con panel with ALL of my supporters. We can talk comics (mine or the industry in general) movies, tv etc. I'll prepare a short talk to get it all started and bring you all up to date on my current projects, and offer up some thoughts on the current state of pop/geek culture and then, the floor is yours! Let me know whats on your mind or just sit back and listen and have some fun listening to us all talk about the world of comics for a couple of hours EVERY MONTH! I may even be able to bring some guests to join us! This sounds like fun already!
NEW STUFF!
If we reach this level, it's gonna be awesome! This means I can produce and release a completely new series and YOU will all get to watch it happen. Not only through the pledge levels you are all at, but also through additional prerelease bonuses that only my supporters will get. No facebook, no Twitter, no Instagram. You get exclusive access to the creation of this book every month from designs to scripts to finished pages and colors. ALL BEFORE THE REST OF THE WORLD DOES!
But here's the best part. If we all reach this goal, this means that the money you are pledging will go from you to me and then to other artists and colorists and letterers and those needed to produce a completely new monthly series! You will be responsible for not only supporting the writer's story, but also for being able to put others to work through your support! That's how this awesome Patreon thing can get really groovy!

About
I am a comic book writer, primarily, having written and created titles like: Penny for Your Soul, Critter, Ursa Minor and the Diamond Top 300, and Best Mini Series nominated, Legend of Oz: The Wicked West. I founded Big Dog Ink in 2009 to publish my own work and have been lucky enough to work with some of the best artists in the business.

As the world continues to turn its collective back on the insitutions of art, fantasy and imagination, I humbly ask you to help keep these things alive by supporting the folks who may need a little extra help in getting their individual voice heard.
To that end, you may be asking yourself: Why pledge a writer? The answer is somewhat simple. Support those that write what you enjoy reading. That, of course, is the answer for those that have read my comic books over the last five years. But for those that do not know me, I would say support the arts in anyway you can; be it writers or artists or film makers.
In my personal case, I have a deep seeded desire to tell stories. Stories of all kinds. Horror, superheroes, westerns, fantasy...stories. Most of my stories have female lead characters, and this is due to my belief that women truly are the strongest and most complex group of people on this planet and I want to promote this image to a generally male dominated marketplace. Now this does not mean that men cannot read and enjoy these books, nor does it mean my books pander or exploit. Quite the opposite. I have a fan base comprised of men and women who equally enjoy the various titles I have produced over the years, and I hope to be able to continue writing stories for those who enjoy tales that don't always follow a method, pattern or cliche'.
My supporters here will be given a look into not only my creative process, which has evolved over the course of my time as a comic book writer, but will also be given access to things no one else has seen. Story drafts, pitches, scripts (both first draft and final) and even character design and development from names, to looks, and finally, into how to create a fully fleshed out person that exists only on the page, unless Hollywood decides to get involved, or course :)
If you choose to support me, I thank you in advance. I have tried to come up with pledge levels that offer a little something for everyone, including levels where I am able to give back to you. These levels are aimed at new writers or even artists and creators in general who want a little extra help with scripts or with their artistic storytelling on the comic book page. If you choose not to support me, I ask only that you do offer your support to someone here on Patreon. Becoming a Patron of the Arts is important not only to the artist you support, but also to the world we live in that so desperately needs creative people to be able to inspire us through their unique work.
