Before I tell you about myself. First, I'm not interested in doing commissions. Commissions is just going from sale to sale. I'm interested in selling posters, calendars, and so on. Because then, I do one work of art and make multiple sales, in the end, making more off of one drawing than through commission. Now, I just have to draw good enough for people to want to buy stuff.
The movie that I think was the biggest artistic influence on me was seeing Disney's Fantasia as a child. Which lead to specific artistic interests in Comic Books and Animation. But I was wondering around for a style of drawing. Then as a teenager I came across Jack Kirby, the King of Comics. Jack's style lent itself so well to the fantastic and fantasy story telling, right up to the cosmic level. As time has gone by, I have come to view Jack's work as a bridge between and a way to merge all of my fantasy interests together in one artistic style.
(more to come ???)

Patreon Post: New Directions

(this is a copy of what was posted on Patreon.com [$1/month])
I have done some thinking cense my last posting; in-between work, yard work and allergies, this is what I came up with. I’m at a point in my life that I don’t have to worry about month-to-month income. I only need to worry about yearly income. Thus, it does not matter if I have monthly up and downs. My self-employed income does not have to replace my monthly employer income. My self-employment income only has to replace my yearly employer income.
What this means is I don’t have to manage the rate of growth of my self-employment. So, if self-employed income increases fast but not monthly consistent; I don’t have to be concerned. As long as yearly totals are able to replace my employer’s wages per year. I will be able to retire and be only self-employed.
Now, this gives me the freedom to be more sensational and less general public, in subject matter. I don’t have to build an audience that will result in consistent monthly income. I could live with income spikes every 2-4 months. Which gives me the freedom to branch out into doing other possible creations than I currently am. For I have tried to not get too fantastic, wild or too specific of an audience/subject/fetish, all the time. But now I can, all the time.
Thus, I give you a list of things to comment on. And I will not put limitations on comments. All subjects should be considered open ended. Feel free to go in any direction you are inspired to go in, with general or specific subjects list below.
Art: animation, comic books, documenting other’s characters, photography, creating digital art, fantasy art, fetish art
Music: music reactions/commentary, specific instrument the drum set, history, theory
Past History: my specialty, but limited to, before 1000 BC
Future History: my specialty, Bible Prophecy
Science: logic, not sure what other kind of science can be done in a small space/room/budget
Cosmic Origins: evolution, ancient aliens, creation
