Codename: 

                                                                              Plan 180

Tier Updates + NEW Tier ( W/ additional merch and exclusive polls)

Side bar (note) | I have the worst habit of not proof reading things before sending things off-- so sorry if you run into any errors throughout the way.

Summary| I'm making adjustments that will benefit everyone. These changes will help me make sure you all are provided with what is promised and that all merch is good quality-- easier, less stressful and achievable. I'm hoping that these changes are still something you look forward to ( More info listed below ).

Longer story | It's been a blessing and I'm grateful to have your support and patience for the last few months. As I mentioned before, I planned on making a serious career choice -- and do Art full time.  With that being said, that plan has also found itself being tweaked to make sure that other personal life goals are met. The plan has gone from quitting cold turkey to slowly transitioning from the current work schedule to less days. However, to achieve this goal I needed to be real with my self and make self adjustments based off my mental and what I was able to do for you all and future parteons.

(Q1 )  "So what are the updates?"

Things that are subjected to disappear ( and are subjected to make a return later): 

• Sticker sheets ( This starts this month )- So sadly working with Sticker Mule | (One of the many vendors ) is a bit harder for me when it comes down to making sticker sheets. They are and were the cheapest option but, as of now there is so much that I have to learn and while I'm getting this transition started I want to limit any additional stress. I'm hope to re-introduce them in a few months why learning. 

- To be very clear: Stickers sheets will only be absence from the sticker club ( due to the the larger amount of slots that are available and my lack of knowledge) . However, if for any reason the individuals that decide to upgrade or join the new tier ( Sample Club), suggest or vote for sticker sheets, they will only be provided to those patreons*. Any remaining stickers sheets can and will be available for purchase during a later time.

• Time-lapse videos-The Editing and the uploading process has also been a hassle to do and maintain. I have not been able to upload or properly provided these types of videos and will no longer attempt to ( for now).
• The tip jar ( Our $1 option)-  For now this is the only "change " that is subjected to stay as of now, so ill update you if its no longer available.

(Q2) "ok... but What should we expect to be added?"

• Artist support tier ( Our $5 option) + art break downs  | To make sure that I replace my idea of time lapse videos, I'll be providing " Art Breakdowns" --- This slot has unlimited slots 

 Example of art breakdowns: https://www.patreon.com/posts/67605855 -- my goal is to add notes when and if I find time but ill add tips and other helpful things that you all may need if you choice to recreate or use my techniques .

• Sticker club + backpaper stickers- To make sure that you all are getting you values worth and cool merch before any one else, ill be testing out sticker app's backpaper option.

Example:  this is what you should expect and here a link to the site if you're interested in learning more about the product or the company. 

*(  https://stickerapp.com/products/back-paper-print )

• ( NEW ) Sample Club- This tier will help fund the more expensive or time consuming merch I want to make or get you all but, we are still very much a small business and 1 person + samples arent the final product and are testers. This tier is only limited to 10 slots/ patreons.

(*) To be very clear- This tier will be providing samples. This means that these products may not be the best of the best  ( in quality, detail and may consist of errors in someway shape of form). These products will either be made in house , or either by vendors that offer things I would like to see as merch for my art. This tiers main goal is to help me find the best product to sale and invest into. So reviews and feedback will be asked of. 

As for Bigger samples projects, ( more expensive with longer turn around time --- such as for custom plushies, enamel pins, books, clothing and figures) they must be agreed upon months in advance ( Allowing me to get a quote, and designs -- 3D rendering ). All updates provided once received from vendor(s). These bigger project-- will be funded hopefully no longer than 1-3 months before seeing the products ( and should be treated as a kick starter at that time while products are in production.-- meaning you'll still receive the stickers of the month until the products are in completion). So the price of the month may vary based off the project 

Also- ONLY sample club patreons can and will vote on the product of the month -- the products will be anything from charms, magnets, prints, notebooks, in house coloring books, sticker sheets, pins, plushies/figures, trading cards, jigsaw puzzles, and lenticular prints. If for any reason the turn around time will be longer than expected --- you will be informed, and the package may be shipped on a later date. THIS TIER IS US ONLY :( -- to make sure that this isnt to expensive.-- you must be located in Canada or the states to participate for these packages bc weight and size varies depending on where its going.

So if you're wonder what you're getting instead of a sticker sheet this month-- ill be using whatever ink I have and make coloring books -- pray for me lol but, what ever questions you have for me please leave them below for me to go over and and address.  I hope that that this works out better, and that this transition will be smoother now knowing I was honest with myself and you all. I know these changes are exciting and even different from the original plan. but we got this and thank you so much!
