Don’t know what Patreon is? Patreon is a monthly subscription that allows me to hit my more ambitious creative endeavors without fear of financial insecurity. As a full-time freelance illustrator, it’s really hard to fund my passion projects, so I’m really grateful for whatever I can get on this platform.
There are a bunch of perks to supporting me on Patreon! If you sign up, I get to illustrate fun, colorful characters for you in the mail every month, give access to my Secret Shop, save commission slots and discounts for you, and much more. You can learn more about all the rewards by heading over to my Patreon page!
Every month holds a different theme with new and original character designs. Most of these characters are wild animals and their stories are inspired by real life or traditional fables I enjoyed reading as a child. Here’s a peek of some digital and physical rewards I’ve given my patrons in previous months:
All past Patreon-exclusive illustrations are available in my Secret Shop so newcomers in my Paw Print and Storybook tiers can get immediate access to them. I also use the highest quality of stickers and art prints (matte vinyl and giclée archival) so that they look and feel good for a really long time.
Perhaps the most important aspect of my Patreon is my Creative Bucket List, which is comprised of art projects that I want to accomplish in my lifetime. These items are very costly, but, with the help of my patrons, I am happy to say that we are slowly moving down this list! Here’s what we’ve crossed off together so far:
Original paintings for first 30 patrons
First enamel pin set
First Kickstarter, first plush toy
First coloring book
First screen-printed sweaters and hoodies
First zine
First socks and beanies
First card deck
First self-published children’s book
First art studio
More time and/or money is needed as we get deeper into the list, which is why I’ve turned to Patreon for financial security. And since my patrons are my #1 contributors to these large projects, I always throw in extra discounts or freebies for each crossed-off item. In summary, my passions get funded and you get your money’s worth. 🐾
All the things I create and work towards on this platform are very personal for me, so I give my absolute best effort every month (and I hope it shows!). I’d love so much for you to be part of my creative journey. Please check it out if you’d like to support a little illustrator with big dreams. :)
