My $2 tier price has been frozen for many years now, and my total Patreon income has been stagnant for the last 5 years. In order to face increasing cost of living and to be able to keep doing art for all of you as my occupation, I believe a price increase is in order for that tier.

The additional income afforded by a price increase would be precious to ensure the continued livelihood of my family, and to allow me to rely less on commissions, and do more personal and fan artworks that I'm sure would be more interesting to my supporters as well as my general audience.

Of course, I don't want to take this decision without your input and risk alienating those who have been such an important pillar of my occupation throughout the last decade. Therefore, I would like to ask all of you:

If you're a $2 tier supporter, are you willing to stick with me despite an increase of the price of the $2 tier? And if so, what would be the limit of what you'd be willing to support me monthly with?

Regardless of your opinion, I'll always be grateful for the support all of you have given me, and hopefully, you will continue considering my work to be worth it. Thank you all so much!

If the 'expert' tier is $10, then I see nothing wrong with $5 for the 'connoisseur' tier, and like $1-2 for the tip jar; a person likes your work, they (should) support it!

Since I use patreon to support several artists with small donations (hope those taxes I pay on it means you dont have to pay them when you withdraw money) and come from a non western country, can't really justify increasing my support beyond 2$ since I already had to scale down before because of the same cost of living increases everyone seems to be feeling this past year(s). But don't also expect even access to your work or such, enjoy even what you just post on twitter. So maybe keep the low tiers but with no benefits for just us who want to support you?
