Introducing the May Print of the Month! 🐂✨

Starting May 1st at @ 10 AM EST, meet the brand new art reward tiers: Pastry Chef and Muffin Mail!

I have been wanting to open a print club for the longest time and one of my main goals for this quarter was to start the print club, so here we are!

Each tier will start with 25 slots for the month of May 👍

NEW TIER INFORMATION

Both Tiers are open to US and International Members. For now, prints will be shipped in the same packaging as stickers (envelopes), but I will be looking into sturdier flat mailers in the future. But to keep expenses low, I will be staying with envelopes for now and protecting the print in a plastic bag.

Print Dimensions may fluctuate depending on the piece, but generally should be around 7x5 inches.

The monthly print will usually revolve around my own original characters and stories, but I might have a fanart piece every once in a while!

🥐Pastry Chef (Print Club) $12/month

A monthly mini art print and ALL of the previous benefits in the Berries and Cream tier (Video shoutout, Discord Access, Art updates etc.)!

For the Month of May, I definitely wanted to create a piece to go along with the May sticker of the month, so here is a fuller, more fleshed out version of the idea of the English Ivy enveloping the knight, so here is my thoughts from the last post!

I figure since we're in the time of Taurus (April 20th-May 20th), it would be a great excuse to bring this character out again! (Check out this video last year where I designed them and their rival, the Platycerium Prince). In my mind, the Minotaur Knight has been slowly evolving into a character that's more than just a "knightsona." They embody a lot of resistance and anger that I have been encountering more in my personal life, coping through being in nature and keeping in touch with the community around me.

Maybe in this depiction, they are finally letting go, absorbing the good around them, and I hope the same for you with receiving this [print]. <3

🧁Muffin Mail (Print and Sticker Club) $15/month

Both the mini art print and sticker of the month together, and ALL of the previous benefits in the Berries and Cream tier (Video shoutout, Discord Access, Art updates etc.)!

So for the Month of May, if you sign up or upgrade to the Muffin Mail Tier you will receive both the Minotaur Knight Sticker and Print!

On a personal note, I am really looking forward to the Print Club as a way to flesh out my ideas more consistently and allow myself to spend more time on pieces. My biggest struggle of being a full time artist/content creator is juggling art making, video creation, community events, and posting on this Patreon, so hopefully this gives myself more space to create full illustrations that don't always have to be compensated by being attached to content creation.

ALSO We recently hit over 460 PAID MEMBERS and 2,800 FREE MEMBERS and I cannot express my gratitude enough. Your support is what is sustaining my art practice, video production, and enables me to open more tiers like these!

Thank you all so much for your continuous support, and I look forward to sending out this first batch of prints!

love, shay <333
