The next few months might be a bit of a struggle for posting so I'm suspending Patreon's ability to charge anyone after May! I hope to be back in the near future, but I want to focus on some other avenues of my creativity. I noticed a lot of pressure on myself ot produce a lot of quanitity instead of quality.  It has actually been a great practice for lighting and posing that I've truly been grateful for. I've learned a lot of myself, lenses, etc. This has been a great way to get a little extra creative without focusing too much on the result. I can imagine myself returning once I've put a few things in my life together.

I told myself last year I wouldn't over book myself and make a crazy schedule for myself this year, which I ended up doing even worse than last year. It wasn't on purpose. One opportunity led to another. I agreed to a few workshops before they told me their dates and then all the dates ended up being together, but I really didn't want to back up of them. So while I'm traveling to Mexico, Hawaii, and the East coast I won't being doing much other than working while in each location. Honestly, I don't always mind that. I'm a terrible tourist. I'm not extroverted and I don't like going to tourist areas, but I love modeling, so going somewehre cool just to work is a bit of a dream. I prefer my vacations at home, so I don't feel guilty for wanting to stay in bed and sleep for days in a row. My vacations are about recoverying my body with a healthy diet, lots of sleep, regular work outs and cat cuddles. Oh and no driving! The best part of being home is not driving any where! I love not driving.

Anyway, so what will my year look like and what will become of my Patreon? So Patreon will stay up. You can continue to view content. If you're interested in remote, live art sesssions, I'm still happy to schedule those outside of Patreon for $30/hr (a bit cheaper than the current tier since it won't come with monthly new content). I may occasionally post on here. I think I want to start blogging, so I might beta test my posts here and see what you all think? I will try to post some bts here or Onlyfans, if you'd prefer to join that the link is onlyfans.com/astridkallsen My OF is mainly life updates and some bts, while Patreon has been some bts, but more photo sets. I want to focus on blogging on my website, creating and selling reference sets on there, and creating merch that I'll be selling on there hopefully in the next coming years. I haven't had a lot of time to create what I'd want to for merch. That may not be in anyone's interests! I promise to get back here eventually, but as a single person I can't run in so many directions at once.

I've considered how to get involved more in Patreon, and I'd like to post more, but I really love modeling the most. I'd have to restructure the way my business is to share more on here. I'm not oppose to it, and I think my life will be moving in new ways in the future, especially with the way the economy is looking. It is nice ot have this place to post nude content while other platforms seem to get stricter about that. I love nude art, and I think it'd be really nice to get a place to stay inspired and continue to share that with others. I apprciate everyone's support! You've really been able ot help me through the last year or two
