Reminder

I have pinned the post about the upcoming changes to my levels at the end of this year, going into the next.

I have also printed off a reminder with the structure of the new levels that will be included in everyone's physical rewards as well for the last months of 2025.

When I first started mt Patreon, I was doing art for a paranormal investigator channel and had talked her into starting one as well. I sat at 1 supporter on here for the first few years (shout out to my OG Laura) and I had added levels 1, in hopes of getting new supporters, and 2, because Laura wanted to support me more, so the $25 level is all in her honor. Go thank Laura!!!

I gained maybe 4 or 5 new followers, friends in real life, who were supportive and epic. But I didn't really gain a lot of you until Hell's Belles. I am so thankful for the fandom and getting to work with Jaysea. I had struggled for ages online to be seen and I was finally getting eyes on my work and not just support but actual engagement in the comments of my posts. That was huge for me. I had followed other artists for years and their comment sections would be full of compliments, suggestions and just fans chatting back and forth with each other, and I always wanted that. I wanted discussions in my comments, and ideas that I could feed from and make cool new art with.

When I first started this page I also had no idea how things worked (still a few things on here irritate and confuse me but I'm dealing with it). Now I have a better understanding of how to structure the levels and how much things cost me month to month, or how much they should cost or how much I should be charging. I will be adjusting not for current inflation but more of where I should have been all this time. I know I have backed (and still backing) some artists on here where I am at a level $8-$10 a month for a single sticker, and yes it sounds expensive for a sticker, but Patreon is meant more to support the artists you like, and help them get their dream projects done and out there, more than the little physical items you are getting, if that makes sense. I do still work my regular job at a major chain, big box store, but thanks to Patreon I can step down to just a few days a week and focus on my art. Changing my levels right now is a huge risk as well. I know some of you might leave, not everyone can afford to level up for the cool sticker, but if you do plan to stick around, even as a free member, you will still be rewarded with coupon codes and discounts toward the main store.

I am playing with the idea of a password only store for paying patrons with super exclusive items and original artwork, but I am looking into that still. For now I will have just the 1 store, and I will be bringing back larger discount codes for higher level members as well, but will always offer at least a 10% off code for all members Free and up.

Again, thank you all for the support. You all rock! Reach out on here or Discord or Instagram if you ever have questions.
