June Sketches and the Future of my Patreon
🕑 Added 2021-04-27 21:30:18 +0000 UTCHello everyone!! I’m so sorry that I’m late again with this months (next months??) sketches for Junes rewards. Things have been really hectic recently between store orders, packing boo bags, getting my new kickstarter together, my full time day job, getting things together for a new freelance client and like.... living and existing.
I work 9-5 weekdays and do all of the fiveboos stuff on the weekends and after work. I basically have been getting like, no sleep because I’m working late on week days, and then also not having any time to recoup from that because I’m also working straight through my weekends (especially now that boo bags need to be packed and sent out)
I’ve been feeling really stretched thin (even more than normal) and its been really hard to handle everything that I’m trying to constantly juggle and I feel bad that this patreon keeps being the thing that’s getting shoved to the back burner.
Trying to work a full time job, and then basically trying to work another full time job on the off hours has really affected me both mentally, physically and has also put a lot of strain on my friendships because I basically don’t have any free time.
I’ve really come to realize that Fiveboos has become something that’s to big for me to consider a side project, and that I need to choose between keeping my full time job, which offers a lot of security (insurance, guaranteed wages, PTO/Sick leave) and basically pause Fiveboos, or to do the opposite.
Having said that,
I’m really excited to announce that coming up next month I will be leaving my full time position to run Fiveboos full time!!
This is seriously something that I never in a million years would have considered a possibility and after a lot of sitting down, looking at numbers, and figuring things out me and my partner have realized that its possible.
Honestly I literally cant even express how much your support has meant to me because this Patreon is a big reason that this is a possibility!! I’m very much not good with change or uncertainty, so having some garunteed income every month from patreon is really helping me make the jump.
I’m so so so SOOOOOO excited for what this means for Fiveboos and best of all I now will be able to devote SO much more time to this patreon every month and actually get the sketches and art out on time. Thanks for being so patient and supportive and amazing.
This is the first place that I’m talking about this and for now I’m still keeping it on the down low until I officially give my job my two weeks notice, but I really wanted to share the good news with you all!!
Thanks for sitting through my very very long winded .. whatever this was and I Hope April treated you all well and you didn’t have to many rainy days!! Here’s to a bright and bountiful May!

omg congratulations!!! that's very exciting, I'm so happy for you! It is indeed EXHAUSTING to have a full time job and a passionate "job" on the side; I'm so glad you are in a place where you can safely choose to do the fun one!
