Pin-Up
I will do a monthly sexy pin-up. I will take suggestions for these from you Patreon supporters.
Monthly Video Chat
I'll do an exclusive video chat for Patreon Supporters. On the video I'll be drawing and taking requests for subjects. Plus, from time-to-time I'll have surprise guests from the comic, cartoon or music industries. Chat with some cartoon or classic rock artists! This will be a fun Goal!
Two Pages Per Week for 1977 the Comic
I will produce two (2) full-page comics per week over at "1977 the Comic". Each page takes anywhere from 1 to 2 days to complete, but with this type of income, I could devote the time necessary to produce the extra pages.
About
In 2007, at age 50, I decided to change careers from video producer to cartoonist. I immediately bought a tablet and Manga Studio. Now I attend several comic conventions each year taking in new commissions and illustrations projects. I also produce the webcomic "1977 the Comic" about struggling musicians in the 1970s. I also co-founded the Webcomic Alliance, a group of webcomic artists whose goal is to help out beginning webcomic creators.

I'm Byron Wilkins, the creator and artist of the webcomic "1977 the Comic", a rock & roll comic about struggling musicians in the 1970s. I also create illustrations, cartoons and commissions for my customers at TR-1 Studios, my illustration company.
Here at Patreon I will be raising funds so I may create a series of Classic Rock Year illustrations featuring a car and rock band from a particular year. I started with 1957, the year I was born, featuring Elvis and a '57 Chevy. I eventually will create a yearly calendar featuring these drawings.
Once I get rolling here, I'll will add in a monthly pin-up by request from you Patreon supporters. I generally draw classic pin-up "teaser" style with no direct nudity. I will do more "saucy" pin-ups, but those will be for Patreon contributors only and will be discreetly posted so as not to accidentally offend anyone.
At my ultimate goal, I'll double my output over at "1977 the Comic" from one page per week to two pages. Twice the content and fun! At this level I was also be creating a variety of other illustrations and cartoons from classic and current Sci-Fi movies, TV shows as well as the comic and music industries.
