Final Poll for New Patreon Exclusive Enamel Pin

Hey all, time is slipping away, so I figured I'd get the enamel pin stuff rolling sooner than later. I'm flying out for my cinematography intensive on the 18th and wanted to run a final poll for how we'd like to roll out the new enamel pin. Originally I suggested the free pin w/ free shipping for $5 Patrons and up, but wanted to see what you all thought of these options having gone through fulfillment already with the Founder's pin.

Additionally:

1. If there's a chance you'd be ...

Original Art Every Month - New Tiers: The Adventurer and The Viceroy

Hey all!

Wanted to alert you of these new tiers I just added. Both involve special one-of-a-kind Polaroids mailed every month. I'm super excited about adding this tier because it means I can send original art to Patrons and hopefully bring joy into your space!

Here are the basic differences between the two.

The Adventurer: 

• A unique signed Polaroid mailed every month from me
  

The Viceroy: 

• Double the unique signed Polaro...

Patreon Update: New Overview, New Tiers, New Rewards, New Community Goals

New Overview

Hey everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend. I can't believe it's only been just a few months since I launched this Patreon! Thank you SO much for sticking with me so far. As you know some of the goals of the Patreon have shifted since I launched I wanted to be completely transparent about that. 

I originally wanted to work with Photographers without Borders through Patreon. However, due a shift in my financial situation, reassessing career p...

Vote: New Patreon Exclusive Pin

Hey all! I'm thinking about running another promotion before I take off for the cinematography intensive. 

This time, the promo would apply to everyone pledging $5 and up, with free shipping! So if you're pledging $5 you'd just be getting an extra gift in the mail, no extra fees :) (domestic only, international shipping still applies).

This enamel pin would be available to Patrons only on Patreon. I chose the Ginkgo leaf because it is a symbol of unity of opposites,  po...

Ghost City + 200 Patrons Thank You!

Hey all! 

1. We've reached 200 Patrons!! Wow!! To celebrate, I'm working on a bonus wallpaper set for this month. In the meantime, here's an edit from tonight: Ghost City. Thank you.

2. Next month I will do an Explain-Like-I'm-5-Write-Up on some basic photography.

3. If we reach 250 Patrons, I will send a photography postcard to everyone - directly from Tokyo - during my residency in Jan/Feb of 2020. Details when those dates get closer! :)

4. Folks should be r...

Founder's Pins Are Here!

Hi everyone! Founder's Pins just arrived! Be on the lookout for a message from Andrea Demonakos.  She will be helping me collect shipping addresses and postage payment.

For those who missed this pin, I am thinking about doing a black variant with gold stripes for Patrons pledging $5 and above. This is so that everyone can have a chance to own a type of Patreon exclusive pin (this means Founders have a chance to own both!). I will run a poll later this month to see...

Tokyo Residency

I’ve just received an email saying I’ve been accepted into Almost Perfect’s Creative Residency program! I am incredibly excited! I’ll be working on my first photography show there. Any savings left over from the Photographers Without Borders workshop will go towards the residency. 

I am choosing Almost Perfect because I would like to work on a cinematic photo project in Tokyo documenting the modern life of every day people. I am hopeful that I can make trips to rural Japan ...

On Self Awareness and Progression

Hi Everyone! I've just returned from Los Angeles after attending the Line Weight VII show at Gallery Nucleus and visiting old friends and new. I had a really great time. While I was gone, I was away from most of my usual art tools and unable to participate in various art challenges this month, such as #maysketchaday and #mermay, and #metsona. I enjoy participating in these events when I can, and  having these collective challenges are great for folks who need a prompt, or simply want a w...

News + Post-Magic the Gathering Push

POST-PUSH

Hey all! Hope everyone is doing well, I'm just finished a 3 week concept push at Wizards of the Coast on Magic the Gathering, and now taking a break before going back to normal freelancing. It was blast and the most fun and creative project I've been on. I'm sad that it's come to an end so quickly. I was extremely nervous to be on a small team with fantasy art veterans such as Tyler Jacobson, Chris Rahn, and Steve Prescott, but in the end the joy of working o...

Patreon Launch: 6 Things I Learned [3 Minute Read]

Hey all! I am closing out my Patreon launch week and wanted to share some of my experiences. It’s always helpful when someone shares their knowledge on nebulous art biz stuff, because I sure don't know what I'm doing half the time. I wouldn’t have made a Patreon if @javi_draws hadn’t gotten the word out about Patreon’s policy changes coming up in May. I’ll try to keep this as concise as possible because I know yâ...

Founder's Pin Mock-up

Hey all! As a thank you for helping me pursue my passion I'm considering doing an exclusive pin for the first patrons of this campaign. I may have to cap it at 75-100 since it's coming out of my own pocket, but I'm just super happy y'all would support something like this. Here's a quick mock-up of this exclusive Patreon pin :). Final design is subject to changes for readability purposes, and shipping is not included. More details to come.  

Have a great evening!

Stress Relief Wallpapers

Hey team!

Every day this week I am releasing a free wallpaper or a set to help get the word out about my Patreon. To mix it up, I've optimized some of my photography work. This is a set of calming wallpapers to help reduce anxiety and stress when using your phone. Sometimes the never ending e-mails, news pop-ups, and notifications can be a little too much. I'm giving the public a couple of these at a time, but here they are all at once for your use. I've also included some high resolut...

Impostor Syndrome

Impostor Syndrome is my most popular convention print. I've optimized it to use as a phone wallpaper. Future wallpapers will be optimized like this for the phone, so it's not just a literal cropped image :). Apologies ahead of time to anyone who is experiencing severe anxiety over that 2% battery screenshot.

Enjoy!
