Life Updates and Tier Updates
🕑 Added 2020-07-26 19:56:58 +0000 UTCHello patrons, I wanted to update y'all before the next month's charges hit so you can adjust your patronage as you see fit.
I was actually considering unpublishing my Patreon earlier this month. I don't feel like I do enough to keep it active...but then something very unfortunate happened. I've been laid off from my job completely out of the blue. I've been working there over 3 years and I thought that things were going well. It's been a really big shock and I'm still reeling from it.
I take solace in the fact that I'm much better off than I was back in 2015 the last time my life got rocked severely. I have some severance, and I have 3 solid years of experience on my resume I didn't have previously. I spent the last 2 days polishing my resume and beginning to send it out. I'm hopeful, but I also have a plan B. I'll talk about that if it comes to it.
I'm not going to be doing commissions immediately - I know with my RSI that I can't make a living that way any more. I still may open some - I have an iPad now and I really enjoy doodling on it and want to get more competent with Procreate for sure.
I've adjusted the tiers on this page to be completely tip jar based. If that means that my patreon no longer does it for ya, I totally understand, thank you for your support over the years! Here's my plans:
$1 - Standard tip jar, no changes!
$5 - Big tip! If I release anything like a zine, art pack, etc, I'll make sure you get it
$10 - SUPER TIP! If I release anything like a zine, art pace, etc, I'll make sure you get it AND if I want to try some new tools, I'll hit you up for a ref and do you a doodle.
I don't want to lead anyone on with my activity on Patreon. I don't know what it'll look like. I'm in such a different spot than I was even 1 year ago when I finally stopped doing commissions through this page, so it's up in the air.
If you want to stick around, I'd love to have you, but if you'd like to cancel please don't worry, I understand!
Overall I'm doing okay minus feeling pretty upset about being let go during a pandemic and after I recently got out of the hospital. With my understanding of the situation, my being let go was much more managerial than personal, but I can't help but feel slighted about it. However, I am a person that gets things done and figures out how to make it all work.
I will see if I can't upload some more art here soon, I hope you're all taking care <3
