Important CHAINges to rewards!

Hey all, I know i took away the seriousness of this message by using a pun, but I couldn't help myself! Plus it was a great reason to post a new and wonderful Superboy shot by Shaun Simpson! So lets get to the nitty gritty.

I am making changes to the love letter portion of my Patreon. I am only one person and the demand to write as many hand written letter as i need to is too high. It easily takes up the largest portion of my work hours and its causing all other aspects to suffer. I created patreon so that i could expand my work and portfolio, and rather than spending time making new costumes and videos, I spend almost 10 work days writing individual love letters. I can't do this anymore. As i am sitting here i am writing love letter rather than doing a drunk Q and A because the letters take priority. 

In the new year I wan to focus on creating new content, that is what this is all about. Because of that I will be making some changes which i am well aware are going to cause me to lose a lot of my backers. That is simply something I will have come to terms with.

The changes are as follows:

1) The Mayor level will no longer be receiving hand written thank you notes. This is one of the largest levels on patreon and the amount of time spent on all the letters is genuinely holding me back. I am so so sorry, but i hope you understand that this is something I really need to do. I understand if anyone at this level decides to back out before Jan 1st, and I thank you so much for all the support thus far. My only hope is that you've noticed that while the reward states you will receive 2 pictures each month, I have actually been sending 4 as a way of always saying thank you.

2) The side Kick level will still be receiving a love letter but only once every two months. The way i plan on doing this is keeping the months constant through out the year, so basically if you are in the side kick level, you will get a letter in February, April, June, August, October, and December. That said, all new patron to this level with get a letter in their first month no matter what month it is, and then fall into the schedule. Kind of like a "welcome" love letter!

Again, I am very very sorry that I need to do this, especially because i love writing the letters, but there is no way for me too keep up this pace and still do the things I need to do to grow. I really hope you all understand that i don't mean any harm or malice by this. This has been the best year of my life with out question and I want next year to be even better for all of us.

Much love!

You're work is why everyone here should be here. If there is something holding you back everyone should understand that it needs to be fixed. If they don't than they were never truly supporters of you're amazing talent. I'm excited to see you're art blossom and grow this year!!!

Michael, I just signed up for the sidekick tier, and you can put me down for no love letters, bud. I got one last year, and that was just fine. Save your time, and keep up the good work!

Thanks for the kind words and the understanding everyone!

Michael Hamm

You do you! That's still a massive effort on your behalf, so I think everyone will understand. More content is a win for everyone!

Matt Gibson

Michael no issues at all. Supporting you is our pleasure with much respect to you

Damn voice to text

Your time should be spent doing more fabulous photo shoots! I think this is a great choice on your part exclamation

Cyrus Solhkhah

Anyone who is truly a fan of your work will understand. And, for the level I'm at, I love what you're doing. Keep it up, and I can't wait to see what you post next.

Don’t stress, we still love you and want the best for you so a little less stress on you will make us happy :). Happy New Years to you!

Robert ahlman

Totally fine. Also, we still haven't resolved my address update. My mailings are still going to my old address although they are still being forwarded by the US Mail.

David Pasteelnick

I agree with the above- I want to support you, and if the current structure doesn't do that- change the structure!

Wolfie

Totally understandable mike! Hope you can do as much as you can and we will be supporting you as much as we can =)

Renato Zebadua

We’re here to support you, not the other way around :P I hope these changes help make your life a little easier and more enjoyable

Kevin Beale

The love letters are fun, but I could live without them. I’ve always been more excited about the prints and you making new content anyways.
