Important

Don’t want to have to address this but it is what it is:

Reminder that you are not allowed to download and redistribute ANY content I post to Patreon ANYWHERE else- I have filed several dmca takedowns today and I’d like to not have to do any more.

I work 12 hours a day almost 7 days a week to be able to make ends meet and continue to share my art with everyone and it really breaks me to see this kind of stuff. I am so grateful for everybody who has chosen to monetarily support me and I owe my career to you- but please I cannot continue to make art when I see this kind of thing happen. It destroys me and makes me realize I am not respected as a professional or as someone who even deserves to live off their hard work. It is just so crushing. I’m glad people want others to see my work, but it’s more important I’m able to survive. I understand how dramatic this sounds but I really cannot stress how much this affects me, both emotionally and financially. At its core, it is theft, plain and simple. It’s much easier to download and post an image elsewhere than it is to spend years refining your craft and building a career out of it.

Respect and support artists you like or we won’t be around for long.

I feel terrible that I have to address this on a platform comprised ONLY by people who are kind and generous enough to support me monetarily and are essentially the reason I have a career at all, but I can’t let this slide for those who are only here to take advantage of me. It’s awful, it’s rotten, and I will be doing something about it.

Once again very sorry I have to bring this up (again) but it is so important. If you ever stumble across any stolen content of mine, please don’t hesitate to reach out, I will handle it.

I once again cannot thank those of you enough who are here because you’re kind and genuinely want to support me, you’re why I’m able to do what I do in the first place. I will return to share my art.
