Hey Guys! It’s been so long since I’ve posted you’ve probably wondered if I fell off the face of the Earth or something.
I’ve been very busy with my daughter who will be 4 months old on the 6th (wow does time ever fly!). I desperately miss my art, however and desperately miss being a part of an art community as well. Which is where Patreon comes in.
Patreon is a fantastic site for creative people that allows you to create content, interact with your fans and create a community through your art all while getting paid for it! Basically, the content I’ve been providing for years on sLs Artistry for free is now going to be subscription-based. Sorry to those who can’t afford to pay for it! I’m afraid I can’t afford to provide it for free anymore though, now that I have a little one to worry about. It’s also a good way to add more value to the content I’m creating. Money is always a good motivator, ask anyone. With people spending their hard-earned money and time on my art I feel more inspired to create it and create it well on a regular basis.
So how exactly does this work?
There are 4 tiers of pledging on my Patreon page.
The first tier is the “Jackson Pollocks“. This group is for those who can’t afford to pledge very much but want to support and be involved. It costs $1 a month and you get a bunch of cool little things for it.
