2022.07.22 Quick Patreon News and Update (Patreon)

Hey all and hope you are well! Thanks again to all the friends and fans checking out my work. Paid or not, I deeply appreciate your support!

Gumroad/Main Website Store ReOpening

Short version - my Patreon is ALWAYS going to be the best, most cost effective place to get my work!

#1 The very first thing I want to say is you can get EVERYTHING I'm about to talk about RIGHT HERE on Patreon - easier and cheaper! I can imagine mention of a store might imply a change of pace on the Patreon but that is not the case. The store stuff I'm talking about is a way to bring MORE people and art into our Patreon by offering an alternate way to support the creation of more art and animation. All those funds will be channeled back here.

#2 There are currently NO PLANS to put the recent monthly movies up on Gumroad. I'm specifically talking about stuff like "Will this month's/last month's movie go directly to a storefront shortly after release?" The answer right now is - no.

Now, let's talk about the plan we do have....

I've wanted to reopen my main site store for a while. I had problems years back with less than civil visitors to my main site. That plus other issues led to me closing the main site store and pulling all my PDF comics over to Patreon. So here we are now and I'm slowly upgrading the comic experience on the main site. I want to CAREFULLY test the waters with a store again and see what we can do.

Basically, I see this as a way to allow people to select and purchase specific older releases from the Patreon like comics or illustrations (as well as publicly released movies). Make no mistake it's WAY more cost effective to join any tier and just grab TONS of rewards versus individually buying all the issues of the PDF comics. That said - I want to offer people choice and some may only want a one and done purchase. 

In the end, my hope is offering more access to (older) work will bring more people into the fold here and also generate more income/support to make MORE art and animation for the Patreon and YOU!

The Store is linked below and as I mention - nearly every Patron reading this can get ALL the items ALREADY as part of their membership. In fact, I think EVERY tier has access to all these (even the publicly released movies)

I want to see how this goes before expanding further. At the moment this is mostly about the comic PDFs and much older and public movies. My main monthly work is about THIS Patreon and YOU. I put my all into bringing you the best I can. Anything that can help me bring you more, I am willing to look into.

Thank you again and if you have comments or questions - please ask!
