Quick Update regarding pirating or sharing my work (Patreon)

I posted over on the main site and want to drop you a line here. Most of this does not apply to you but you will want to be aware.

So, it’s come to my attention the contents of the Ready Art Zone Store are being pirated. I was alerted by a site user and was able to verify nearly all the comics in my store were being made available for free (via uploads and torrents).

I want to say I really appreciate everyone here who has donated to the Patreon. You have really helped me over the years with your contributions. Everything goes back to the main site. I don't do my art for profit and work hard to bring my best to you and the other fans. Our community here is small and I’m just doing my best. At this stage, here are the things you might want to know about:

1. The Patreon will continue as normal for the most part (see below)
2. The Ready Art Zone Store on the main site will be closed for the near future. I don’t have a date on when it will come back or when new material will be available. 
3. I’m hoping the person(s) responsible for this kindly stop. I am not the police and I think they are missing an important point. They are hurting their and your chances of seeing more art with stunts like this. 
4. The Main Site will continue as normal 
5. I am considering other steps but I’ll have to keep you posted as I work through this one.

Patreon Basic Rewards continue! - all the base level PDF's up to tier 4 are the same.The end of the story PDF reward for tier 4 this is on hold for the foreseeable future. I'm looking at doing something a little special for Tier 4's to make up for it and am thinking of some custom artwork or contest for the level 4's. I'm open to ideas too!

It's been quite a day dealing with the issues of art theft and copyright strikes. Thank you so, so much for the support. I have been pondering a lot of what the site next steps are and I want to bring you more art. Really though – it will be a team effort and I hope we can do this together!

Thank you again and talk with you soon!
