Patreon Update - CrabHiatus

Hey guys!

I already posted about this on twitter a while ago, but I just wanted to do a final post on here for anyone who missed it!

As I'm sure most of you guys know, I have been unwell for a little over a year. I'm safe and my health issues aren't putting me in danger, but I didn't expect to have them for as long as I have. Although none of the problems have been that  serious, the problems have been difficult  and it has been getting harder and harder to stay on top of posting regularly on patreon specifically. I always wanted to prioritise my sketch request patreons, but just doing those sketches would often end up being all I could manage to do that month (creatively!) especially over the last year or so when I've also had other IRL responsibilities.

I am so deeply thankful for all of your support over the years. I literally do not have the words to express how much your support has meant to me. I have been thinking for months about a way to express that thanks, but there are no words good enough. I got to live a dream of drawing as my full time job for several years in part thanks to YOU! That is a precious, precious gift I am so thankful for!! I will forever be thankful to all of you reading this!!!!!

And so the time has come to call the patreon quits (for now). I'm still going to be doing lots of drawings and will post them on twitter and/or elsewhere for everyone, and I will be doing other creative projects in the future. I'm also still working towards bigger goals, so perhaps you'll see your favorite crab's illustration appear somewhere cool in the future. Despite ending the patreon, I'll still be posting drawings on the internet. You can follow me on Twitter if you want to keep up with me!

However, for now, I will be closing this patreon and won't take any commissions etc. for a while, at least until my health has improved significantly. I will use the time not spent on healin and honing my skills to become better at art - I will be even stronger than before! 

For now, the billing is paused, but I will unpublish my page entirely sometime next week!

So long and thanks for all the fish,
