Ending Patreon

Hi all, 

I'm starting a new job next week and after a lot of thinking I've decided it's best to close down the patreon.  Thank you to everyone for your support over these past few months! 

It's been fun, but I don't see how I'll be able to keep up and give you the value for your money. So better to wrap it up now.

Thank you so much for supporting me!  I'll see you on Instagram at @tsurufoto

Love,

Aaron

25 Patreon milestone!

I will be pulling a random number and that patreon will win one of the paintings pictured above!!!

*UPDATE* according to Patreons ToS, I can't do a "raffle" on my patreon.  Now, I don't consider this to be a raffle, I was just celebrating a milestone and giving away some art.  -- I'm working with them to get more details and will update you soon!

"where'd you go (i've seen the light)" by fairy eyelashes

"where'd you go (i've seen the light)"  by fairy eyelashes

2019 Fairy Princess Records DK


lyrics:

Where'd you go?

Where'd you go, baby?


My love, they don't play me

To their heart so true, baby

No dots, no texts to me

But I know they won't be leaving me

Because


I've seen the light

Oh, I've seen the light


Where'd you go?

Where'd you go, baby?


Night come...

My reaction song to my cover song of the violent femmes song "I'm Nothing"... it's called "If You're Nothing, Then What Am I?" - I think I went full bananas meta on this one.

"sweet marzipan" by fairy eyelashes: a great british bake-off tribute

"Sweet Marzipan" by fairy eyelashes a Great British Bake-Off tribue (to the tune of "Sweet Caroline" by Neil Diamond)

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

*lyrics*

Where to begin
Probably with eggs and flour
Maybe some cream, a mixing bowl
What does Paul think
A bit of a shame, he's honest
Prove the dough, few minutes more

Warm, still too warm
Leaking out
Home for me
Star Baker for you

Sweet marzipan (yum yum yum)
Soggy bottom's never good
I'll make me...
