HOW TO SUPPORT DIRECTLY
Join the Movement
Although I take on paid commissions, much of my work (especially my comic books and art series deep dives) are labors of love. It can be, and often is, a financial strain to produce them all on my own. If you like the work I do and want to find more ways to support, consider sending a donation! Think of it as buying me a thank you cup of coffee or meal. This money would go directly towards art supplies, shipping materials, website maintenance and costs, rent, food, and yes, actual cups of coffee (the fuel of any good cartoonist).
What’s coming up next?…
Well, lemme tell you…it’s the next Kaeru Gaiden, a Frog Tale. This has been an ongoing comic project that is near and dear to me. My writing and art style have refined and improved (at least I like to think so?) since I’ve started, so a full makeover revamp is in order! I’m super stoked with both the story and visual direction I’m taking, but it’s quite a bit of work to tackle solo. My plan is for 40ish page issue installments going forward, but if possible I would LOVE to do it full color, but in the old school CMYK screentone printing method used from the golden and silver age of comics all the way up to the 80s and 90s until digital coloring took over. It has a gritty throwback look that I think pairs PERFECTLY with the inking and tone of the comic. But like I said…It’s a LOT of work…
I do my best to put out the highest quality comics and artwork I can, and quality on a ongoing comic book like Kaeru takes quite a bit of time and effort to finalize. But with help from art enthusiasts like yourself, we can make this dream fully realized! You can do a one time donation, or you can even set it up as a reoccurring payment if you’re so inclined. Another way to support my art directly is through my Patreon where you also get to see weekly updates on what I’m working on, as well as fun behind the scenes updates and drawing videos. NO PRESSURE! Any form of support truly means the world to me, and I look forward to continuing to share my art with you!
Spread the Word
Sharing my creativity and imagination with you all is the driving purpose that gets me out of bed in the morning (that, and I probably really have to pee). The best (and easiest) way to help the cause is by telling a friend! Word of mouth is exactly the kind of organic grassroots revolution that’ll not only benefit MY art, but help stick it to the soulless companies churning out AI content and quickly dismantling the already precarious profession of being a modern day artist. I have so many ideas and projects on my to do list, and with your help we can get the most eyeballs on them as possible!
Whether through donations, purchasing my work, or telling a friend…whatever it is, thank you for checking out my art and my journey. In this wild modern day world, any little bit of support makes all the difference. Cheers!
