Why I am here:
I draw, paint, and animate intricate mazes by hand and process them with a digital tool chain. I write software in Python to process and enhance my art work. Prior to the lock-down era, I sold prints through an art gallery or donated them for charity auctions. Until now, this was my avocation, not my career: I heretofore made my living as a software engineer.

Programming has been my mainstay for nearly half a century. Though I've always called myself an engineer, I believe I have been both artistic and poetic in my work with programming languages. However, only a few other programmers have ever seen it in passing and, clearly, the computers just don't care. I now redirect the intellectual processes that propelled my software work toward creative goals that are actually visible.

Not quite at official retirement age, I still need a steady income. The galleries didn't survive the lock-downs, so the market for my maze prints has faltered. Honestly, the gallery sales channel was never stable enough to be a living. I seek an new model and that's why I'm here.

I hope you are here because you appreciate the art, writing, and software that I create and wish to help support me in creating more.

As I am new to this Patreon thing, I anticipate that it will take some time to make it all run smoothly. I am open to suggestions from both patrons and those just considering it. What would you like to see as a tier premium?
