Three Wishes

$3
/ month
Even something small can have a big impact. Give a few dollars to wish me well. Or tell me 3 things you wish to see more of. Be as open-ended or randomly specific as you want. No promises, but I'll see what I can do! They might prompt a series of fun doodles, or influence what art projects I make/share next.

Coffee Break

$5
/ month
Cheers, you've (virtually) treated me to (real) coffee & snacks! Now I can take a break to brainstorm ideas, step forward on a writing goal, research grants, take a walk to snap photos... or sketch something silly on my napkins. Glad to take requests! (Never know, could be the next big thing.)   + prior benefits

Lunchtime etc.

$10
/ month
It's like you got me lunch. Or the perfect refill on art supplies to finish that project just when I needed it. Or time to test my latest product idea, or found-object craft. Maybe calligraphy or characters are this month's thing. I'll take some cool pictures, write up a blurb, and show it to you & the world.   +prior benefits

Gift An Hour

$20
/ month
With this, I will commit an hour to a creative endeavor, without distraction. It may be devoted to a new technique, resolving a plot hole in my story, refreshing a portfolio, themed art for a gallery show, refining a sketch to finish, photos from a special event, a blog post about comic cons, designing a coloring page or useful sign, drawing demo video. With a few patrons, it could add up to a solid block of time.   + prior benefits

Priority 2

$50
/ month
Maybe I can't take a full day off from other jobs, but I can spend the after-work or afternoon getting something awesome done for real. Those projects I started in an hour? Here's where they come to fruition. I'll buckle down and make good use of my art studio, and/or record a video tour. Potentially, buys me a small table a a local convention or art market, (when events are a thing again).

Priority 1

$150
/ month
Allocating a day to: studio time for a larger endeavor (or making progress on several fronts), developing a novel or graphic novel, preparing for/attending/volunteering at a special event (without concern of cost), pro bono projects, exchanging skills, a drawing excursion, upgrading my tech... it all becomes so much more possible. Hoping to see it put to a certain cause, or artist's choice?

Webcomic!
For awhile now, I've wanted to try this out. Since my complex plots and characters tend to get in the way, my new approach is to fill it with absurdities instead. Currently doodling in a few directions, testing content, and hoping to interest an audience (that's you!) before any official launch.
