General Updates and Tier changes!
🕑 Added 2019-06-27 22:53:07 +0000 UTCHey guys! I'll keep this simple and to the point, as most of you have noticed from my lack of art in general lately my life has been SUPER busy, and I've been struggling. (40+ hr work week, 65 full color children's book illustrations, freelance game work, mental health, etc)
I'd like to apologize that Patreon has taken a back seat, but I assure you I WILL catch up with fun tutorials and stuff! Which brings me to my next part, tier changes for next month.
Very recently the opportunity to work more full-time on the indie game I'm working on No Mercy has presented itself! This is great because we as a small company can finally afford to work on it and hopefully finish it within a year, the downside is much of my free time will be going into this. After much thought I've decided to eliminate the Dragon Cat tier (prints and spicy) because it's the one tier that just adds a LOT of extra work onto my plate and mentally stresses me out and I'd like to not worry about it. It may come back in the future! But for now it's being benched. Last term that paid for print rewards, you ARE still getting them (I'm mailing them tomorrow) but I'm deleting the tier tonight.
No other tiers are changing, but ideally with less to worry about physical rewards wise, I'd like to put more effort into the tutorial tier. I plan to do bi-weekly patreon streams on Saturdays or Sundays, where I'll do live demos or critique community art. Streams will be open to everyone but saved for the Cosmic Cat tier to rewatch.
I'll share more updates as I have them but tl:dr, I've been busy but some major client projects are over as of this month so I'll be free to show you all the love you deserve very soon, I appreciate the support and am very grateful : )

I think it's important to know the limits of what you can do and taking of yourself is always a priority. :) You have my support no matter what! It's wonderful that you got that opportunity to work more on No Mercy! You got to seize these chances when you can, especially if this is something you really want to work on!
Dear Katie, I'll miss your letters but I can totally understand where you're coming from! I think destressing & taking care of oneself should always be most important. Sending you lots of love, strength to handle your work load and time for sleep :)
