The question of Print Lover rewards (Patreon)

Hey guys! Here's a special post for everyone on the $10 tier. 

As I'm trying to plan ahead for our 2023 (not too successfully, so far) I'm thinking about restarting my print operation and getting back to publishing zines again - which would require me establishing new relationships with people in small press in our new country here, in Belgrade. And, most importantly, it will require time and it will require money, so I need to get into a slightly more comfortable and secured position to seriously consider printing anything like Souls Love #3, Magnum Opossum 2022 or my Dune Zine.  

But thinking about new printed stuff made me think about my old printed stuff, and one serious issue that needed my attention ever since I left Russia. One that I've kept postponing until now, and I'm sorry for that.

In my previous years I heavily relied on regular reprints of every singe zine that I wanted to keep in rotation, but war put a kibosh on my reprinting operation, so the remaining physical stock of items I had was very small to begin with. Then one part of that stock had to be left behind in Russia, locked in our storage unit (and god knows when we're coming back to get it), while another portion got pretty serious water damage during mail transfer to Serbia, and only very few items remained intact and in my possession here, in Belgrade. 

To be frank, I really doubt that I'll be able to fully relaunch my printing operation here to the point where every single reward item from Print Lover tier description is available again. Really, I can't give a concrete promise to you or myself to have anything printed anytime soon. 

So we ought to figure out what to do with this particular tier in the future.  For now, I can promise you that what you can't get in print items I can compensate with original art that I have plenty of (sketchbook stuff from Zine Perpetuator tier/original comic pages/cover art) or even commissions. 

In the coming weeks of January I'll be reaching out to all of you with more concrete propositions after I'm done counting and calculating everything (and please forgive me for not doing it right away and in one swoop, but there's a lot of things on my plate right now T__T)

Thank you all for sticking with me for so long. No matter what, please have a lovely 2023!
