Free for all: it's a hard artist life!
🕑 Added 2024-06-29 13:30:05 +0000 UTCYesterday i found this picture on my instagram stories (the first part, of course), and it made me laugh so i decided to add my part, just in order to have something for making a public post!
You know that from time to time I try to post something for those who arrive here and don't want to subscribe or they follow me but don't pledge; it's ok by the way, if you're here also as simple followers, it means you have a certain interest in my works and that's great.
Patreon week by week became my main source of income and i'm trying to give it the right space among my daily tasks.
My career with digital comics and illustration was born almost 20 years ago, at the very end of 2004 when i opened my first blog to post my random drawings, in a couple of weeks the first comic strips came (SFW and pretty ugly after 20 years of practice) and then I never stopped. The most loyal fans of mine who support me here too know me from those days.
Blog age ended less than 10 years ago when social media became prominent, I left my personal sites and replaced them with the most popular social media. Now that also social media seems to be useless because ruled by algorithm and flooded by bot and AI works, i think that the best thing i can do is to go back to blog; and what is Patreon but a blog? Of course it's not a public place, but having more than 350 paying people give me the right motivation to update it and think of it not just as any site but my main place where to post my stuff. I already do it, and i will keep doing it more and more. This is my main place, social media are now a secondary place to share what you can find here first.
I know there's a paywall, but I'll always keep the entry level at the very very low price of 2$/month, to give to the largest part of my audience the chance to enjoy ALL my contents with a very small contribute, if they want to invest on my art. And if you do it, I hope i won't disappoint you!
Excuse me for this wall of text, it was nice to write this post and share this thoughts with you!
