Katt Taylor I have had the sudden drop from being a well-off mofo who would love to be supporting higher to a disabled unemployed mofo counting on a dodgy government for help! I have just budgeted you in after rent and food but before gas and coffee. I have explained this just so that you know how important you are and how much your art and your love of life matters! I have been a fan from back in the DD days and own pretty much everything you have ever released so I just couldn't not be a patron! Thanks to all the well-off mofo's who are doing the heavy lifting for me while my back is broken! For your $50 tier you could make something arty and beautiful and topographical based on a quote from your book and have numbered signed prints of the poster as a one off celebration of their support?

Guy Bock Personally I would rather have Amanda pouring her energy into creating art rather than fretting over reward formats. I don't begrudge supporters on the higher tiers getting more stuff, quite the opposite. I'm grateful that they are helping me support an artist who is very important to me. I can't do enough on my own. I chose the $5 tier, capped at $50. I plan on adjusting the cap each month, depending on how tight my budget is at the time. I doubt I'll be able to contribute $50 EVERY month. Likewise, I feel confident in my ability to commit to a minimum of $5 EVERY month. To make it easier on Amanda, instead of making her commit time away from making Art and devoting it to Rewards and/or brainstorming new Rewards, How About This: Each time Amanda makes a Reward for the $100 supporters, she makes one one extra and sends it to a random $50 supporter. Other than this special lottery feature, the $50 tier is just like the $10 tier. This would require less hassle for Amanda and is more comparable with her personal philosophy of breaking down the barriers that isolate her from her fans. I don't just want to be happy to be here, I wants the building and maintainence of this place to provide as much fun and happiness for Amanda with the least amount of suckage possible. To paraphrase something I read a wise artist write once: "I'm picky about the way I'm loved. I don't want to be loved because I give an artist MONEY. I want to be loved because I'm a dumb fan of a rockstar somewhere who I want to help make happy."
