Hi! Today's #ThankYouPatrons day! So Josh made this little comic.
However, when talking about it together, that didn't seem enough of a thank you. So he decided to organize a ✨ giveaway ✨ to thank you for your support!! IMPORTANT EDIT: This is not a simple giveaway anymore, as it is against Patreon's terms of service. Instead, all patrons can participate no matter the pledge, and winner will be chosen by Josh based on the comments left by patrons. Here are the prizes!
- 5 False Knees books, signed and with a doodle!
- 5 Large new, unpublished art prints in this style (Probably an owl. Josh is feeling owl-y these days)
- 10 medium comic prints (per winners' choice)!
So that'll be 20 winners in total! 😊 Winners will be announced a month from now, on December 21st. Last time Josh did a giveaway was three years ago (time flies!), and the prizes were three of the comic zines he used to get printed at Staples, cut, and staple himself painstakingly on our then-carpeted floor. There was paper everywhere. It's wild to look back at that time and see how far he's come. Shortly after that giveaway is when he quit his job as an arborist, to give this "art" thing a real go and not have any regrets. It was scary but it felt so good! Then he got his first proper printer thanks to you, and slowly built up an audience and a livelihood doing what he loves. There still is paper everywhere, but it's now much higher-quality paper and it's printed with archival ink :)
I hope as you're excited about the giveaway as we are! While chatting about this, we came up with a whole lot of cool ideas for Patreon things to do in the next year, so there's a lot more coming. 🐦
I'm also going to start posting his comics here every time I make a post, for those of you that aren't on social media, or just to see them another time :) Here's the owl comic whose sketches you saw in the last post:
