December Update + INPRNT Code (Patreon)

Hi everyone! Thank you so much for sticking around for another month! I first joined Patreon in spring of 2021, so this closes out my first year here. I can't thank you enough for the kindness and support you've shown me all this time - it's helped and motivated me more than I could ever express, and I'm wishing you all the best through the holiday season!

Here are this month's plans and updates:

INPRNT Code

This month's promo code for my print shop is IXUS0U - since the holidays are coming around, I've upped it to 20% off. It can be applied to anything except for art cards (which is unfortunately out of my hands)! If you're ordering something as a gift, please refer to INPRNT's estimated holiday deadlines.

Patreon Changes

There are no changes to the $1 tier, so no worries there!

For the $3 tier: reminder that this month marks the change to a bi-weekly sketchbook. Instead of posting sketches every week, I'll be posting them every other week from here on out! Hopefully it'll give everyone a little breathing room, since I was starting to feel bad for the people who were getting blasted with e-mail updates every two days lol...

I'm also starting the process of brainstorming downloadable printables. I'm mostly thinking about doing something stationary-related - something like writing paper with a cute design? If you have any thoughts, let me know!

In general, if you have any feedback, feel free to drop it here for consideration! (Any specific tutorial topics you'd want me to tackle? Other types of posts you'd like to see?)

Personal updates

Unfortunately, there's not much stuff that I can talk about work-wise just yet (it's all still under wraps)! But as far as non-professional stuff goes, we've finally started the process of catching the stray cats around our place so that they can get medical attention, vaccinations, spayed/neutered, and potentially adopted out if they seem up for it. If they seem too feral, we'll release them after getting them taken care of, but luckily with a little work they've become fairly friendly, so we're hopeful!

The first one we caught is the one we've been most worried about, since he's clearly been through a lot of fights and seemed a little under the weather. He's super sweet, though, so I'm really hopeful that we can team up with a rescue to help find him someone who can give him a much more comfortable life! In the meantime, he's currently being kept by the vet and is getting cleaned up and de-flea'd today! (heads up for some very minor scrapes/blood):

Wish us luck!! 🤞
