A Sincere Thank You. (Patreon)

Hello everyone. I wanted to take a moment to share a sincere, from the heart, thank you.

This previous month has been the most difficult conglomeration of events within a month that I have experienced in many, many years. ER visits and bills. Corrupted data for art and commissions. Stolen wallets. Being an "essential worker" during this pandemic, yet still possible I lose my job soon due to poor management and improper training. Having my bonus cut from around 20% to 1.25% of my salary. The list continues with smaller things continuing to stack on, but even a small shovel of sand will soon bury you.

Over the last 6 days, and with over 80 hours of troubleshooting, I have been working to restore my PC to functional. Starting last Thursday, I began to experience strange crashes and blue screens. By Friday, my pc would not even turn on. I was required to do troubleshooting of every single piece one at a time, and in the end having to replace almost everything besides the GPU and case for it to regain functionality. Both ram sticks had failed simultaneously, and the cpu had failed within the few hours following. This new tower is much more powerful in all regards, with most importantly, a processor that is x3 as fast as the previous, so exporting renders in Blender take many fewer hours to process. This means more content for you!

Your support on Patreon has been one of the few good things this month to keep me together. With the uneasiness of the world and suffering from a barrage of things out of my control, I try to root myself in what I can do and create through my art. Being able to share that with you helps me find peace and stability; your support not only helping me financially during these unstable times.

I understand many folks are going through hurdles with their careers and relationships during these times, and I do sincerely hope you can find peace and success once the dust has settled as well. We will make it through if we do the right thing.

Thank you for all of your continued support, and I cannot wait to create and share more with you as we make the art of imagination into the art of reality.
