Important Announcement

Dear Patrons,

First and foremost, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you. Your support and belief in my work has meant more to me than words can express.

However, after careful consideration, I've come to the decision to suspend my Patreon for the foreseeable future.

I've stopped the billing for the next month, so you won't get billed accidentally after my decision - you have 1 month to unsubscribe whenever you feel like it.

Also, I do intend to keep my end of the bargain - since some of you were billed recently, I'll finish this term as usual.

As for my reasons - I've found that managing this platform, in its current capacity, has significantly impacted my sleep, work, and precious family time, as I've told you before. And while I did have plans to revamp it somehow, a wave of unsubs has shown me that this is a futile matter in its current form. While I truly love what I do and appreciate your trust and support, the strain Patreon has placed on my personal life outweighs the modest income it brings in. <...<

Maybe if I find another form of what I can offer that better suits my ability, I'll be able to hop back on this path, but in the current form, I do believe there are better options out there.

Please know that this was not an easy decision to make, and it comes with a heavy heart - I've put a lot of time and effort into my skills, tools, twitter and patreon; that, and your interest and unwavering support have been sources of immense motivation and joy for me.

As I've said above, for the remainder of this month, I am committed to fulfilling any obligations I have made to you. After that, my Patreon will enter a sort of "sleep mode." I will aim to share any public work I create until I can either revamp myself, or something, but I must be transparent in saying that the consistency and timing of posts starting October may vary, and I can't guarantee regular updates.

I understand if this might be disappointing news to some of you, and I sincerely hope for your understanding. This decision is about finding a balance that ensures my well-being and allows me to continue creating in a way that feels sustainable and joyful.

Thank you for being a part of this journey with me. Your kindness, encouragement, and support have touched my heart in ways I can't adequately describe. I hope our paths cross again in the creative world.

Wishing you all the best,
Pinartiq
