To My Patrons at the End of Our 2020 (Patreon)

Hello and once again Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all. I hope you all are safe and happily at home with loved ones. And I hope you enjoyed today's new posts!

As I stated in a previous post, I'll be taking next week off so I will be using this time to wrap up a very hectic, stressful and sad year for the most part; but not here on Patreon. You all have been supportive, engaging, and most of all motivating for me for the year-plus I've been apart of Patreon, and you've all personally allowed me to have a full time career I could never have imagined.

I always knew that when I started doing "porn" on DeviantART IN 2012, I'd eventually have to go dark; delete everything, hide it all away, and go get "a real job" to be respected and proud of. I played chicken with this inevitable fate, going seven years making more and more art, until I graduated college and had a choice: walk away from it all? "I had been on hiatus more and more in recent years, so no one would mind if I just left right? It's time to do normal art!" 

Or I could go all in on this career; finally attach the art to my legal name, make a Patreon, put Jay Marvel on my tax forms. And of course, risk tarnishing my art career with the "stigma" of porn. 

And for some reason, I decided to go this route. And all of you have made sure I never regretted it. You've not only allowed me to have a stable income, but you have made me feel more secure in my decision, my career, and just the NSFW art world in general. There's a bunch of great people in the community, including all of you who support the creators. And at this stage, I can say I am proud of what I do, and who I do it for. It's all about fun and fantasy. And I will always support my fellow kinky folks out there who love this stuff!  

Basically I wanna say thank you guys, and I truly have love for each and every one of you. I wish I could make every one of your days feel as fulfilling as you all make mine. And I hope I could be a bright spot in this rough year for you guys as you were for me. I can never repay the things you have allowed me to do for myself and my family, but I hope the artwork is a good enough trade off.

Love Jay. Hope to see you in 2021!
