Hey all.

So I've been meaning to update my Patreon Goals for a while. I haven't touched them in years now. I've also been wanting to hire a full-time animator for years now.

And over the past few years, I have also seen people level the argument that the reason I don't hire animators is because I'm "too busy being an auteur." And while I do have a strong artistic vision for my work, auteurship isn't the reason why I haven't hired an animator yet.

The reason is a simple one that I think everyone understands: cold hard cash, and the lack thereof.

I finally decided to formally sit down and crunch the numbers though, using data pulled from my last 3 years of operation. And I guess they might as well become the next Patreon goal.

I'll update the goals proper tomorrow. Just thought I'd share.

It's hard to run a business. Large or SMALL.

Counting numbers is sometimes really necessary. Well done, you took the time to do this. I think you need an animator

the cost of the animators salary is deducted from your taxable income and don't forget that you want this person to be a registered corporation or you will have to pay the employer's share of his social security taxes.
