I decided to create a Patreon account to share the various things that I have been working on. I have a couple of reasons for this.
- I wanted the structured encouragement.
- My hobbies are quite varied and often involve processes that others may find interesting as well as result in items that might be of interest. It seemed like an opportunity to perhaps fund my hobbies.
- I am disabled and so this is a way for my friends and others to follow and support my activities where I can give back.
Thus far having a Patreon has offered all of that plus more. I feel a form of support and encouragement from my patrons that was not anticipated and it has motivated me to find more ways to give back and create.
I'm quite proud of the thank you cards (see below) I've been making and I'm very excited to send out the stickers I've been designing. You can see some of the art I've sent my Patrons. The art comes with the tier levels they signed up for.
You can read more about the tiers on my Patreon and see other projects I have done or are working on here. I share here and now updates and behind the scenes with my Patrons.
I also have a Buy Me a Coffee profile if you'd like to support without a subscription.
A few reviews from current Patrons:
