Untitled (Patreon)

Hello dearest patrons! First of all, thanks for being a patron as always! I've been running this Patreon page for a year and a half now and I've finally decided to make a few changes around here. Here's a breakdown of what to expect next month!

- Reward tiers $1 – $10 will remain the same as they are.

- I'm introducing two new reward options that I will explain a little later.

- The current $20 and $50 rewards will be coming to an end this month.

I'm sad to say that I'll be ending the rewards that involved shipping goodies to you every month. I absolutely loved crafting a package every month for you guys and it forced me to create all sorts of interesting things. I made drawings, oil/water paintings, origami, toys, flip books, custom games, exclusive comics, and more. I also had a fun time seeking out bizarre toys and candies to include with the packages. Unfortunately, these tiers proved to be costly to me and made it hard to come out ahead despite the amount of work that went into the packages each month. It was a fun experience and I'd like to extend a big thanks to everyone that backed that reward. You now own an interesting collection that only a select group has.

In place of those reward tiers, I'm introducing two new options that are pretty awesome! I decided to make rewards that better reflect the idea behind Patreon. You can now become an official Mr. Lovenstein sponsor! There will be two options: Silver ($15) and Gold ($25)

This will entail getting a custom portrait of you drawn by me that will reside on this web page (work in progress). Silver sponsors get a 150x150px portrait and gold sponsors get a 200x200px portrait at the top of the page that can also feature a subtle animation. Your name (or alias) will be included and an optional link to your Twitter if you have one. Both sponsorships will receive a 800x800px copy of your portrait to use on your social medias or elsewhere. Gold sponsors can get a printed copy of their portrait shipped to them at their request. You can update your portrait once a month.

Sponsors will also be added to a list. With each new comic release, I'll take a name from the list (working through A-Z) and place it on the bottom of the comic saying “This comic brought to by [your name]” Your name will permanently remain on that comic strip. You will get re-added to the list each month. I will work through the Gold sponsor list first.

So there you have it! I hope you're excited for upcoming changes! I've already added the new reward options to my patreon so check 'em out! For those of you in the $20 or $50 tiers, please consider making the jump to the new reward tiers or a different tier of your liking. You're also welcome to pledge more than the requested amount. I won't fight you over it.

I've also overhauled all of my milestone goals so please look at those as well!

That's it for now! Thanks for reading this and feel free to message/email me with any questions or concerns.

Thank you all so very much,

JL
