Shutting down the Tipjar (Patreon)

So, straight up, im gonna be shutting down (or more accurately, pausing for indefinite amount of time) my patreon.

I've been dealing with a lot of stress and anxiety this past year, and its been leaking into my ability to do work. Art hasnt felt fun for me for months now, bordering on a year. It comes harder and harder every time i sit down to draw, and I keep getting slower, and getting more frustrated and anxious about it. I don't think its been any secret to y'all that i havent been putting out much in the way of work for a while now. Maybe a few WIPs if I'm lucky. 

The fact is, while the income from this tipjar is helpful to me, i dont feel right accepting it when i cant put out the content y'all signed up for, even if it is indeed just a tipjar. I dont want to coast by on it, barely updating, until everyone has left with a bad taste in their mouth. It wouldnt be right by y'all, especially those of you who have supported me for so long.

I'm going to refund everybody for the past month. Doesnt feel right to keep that money when it went to nothing. 

I'm officially going to Pause the campaign rather than delete it, in case hey, maybe my situation changes and i come back some time later. I'll keep y'all posted if i do. 

But i want to thank you all for your support. whether you joined yesterday or 4 years ago, it means so much to me that you all believed in me and pledged to my campaign. Thank y'all so much. I wish i coulda gone out with more of a bang, but at least i hope this is better than a whimper.
