Thank you for Pride June 2024 + Update

I'm going to get my thank yous out of the way first so that if those who don't want to read about the reason I paused patreon billing this month and why there has been so much less art they can just move along quickly.

Thank you for June! For Pride month!!! This month was great, I didn't expect to whip up a 4pg comic in 3 days based on a photo I saw on my twitter timeline 🤣
But seriously, thank you all for sticking around, commenting and liking despite the lower frequency of art this month, I truly appreciate it! It's always super fun to show you all art, it's like going to my friends and saying "look I drew this dick!" and them all clapping haha, so I am grateful for the support of me and my art 🙏💖

---edit---
Also forgot to mention billing will resume after today
----------
Now below will be about why I paused patreon billing and why the frequency of art dropped. It's a bit of a long story so I hope you all don't mind the wall of text.

I failed as a full-time artist, to me there is no other way to put it.
At the beginning of May I received notice from my real estate agent saying my rent was being increased (for a second time) to an amount that I quite frankly was not going to be able to pay while being on government support payments, I had already been struggling living on the poverty line for a year but I had been trying so hard, working so hard to make my dream of being an artist my full-time job, but it wasn't enough, I had to make a realistic choice on how to keep a roof over my head. So I withdrew some of my retirement funds (which is very difficult to get your hands on where I live) and made plans to move to a cheaper rental area, or somehow miraculously find a salary job in my studied field of Graphic Design. I made all the plans to move, I got the money, we were beginning to look at properties to rent, but as a backup plan I was applying to part-time jobs just in-case.
And by a surprising miracle I was hired at the end of May for a part-time job (30 hours a week), and this is why you've seen a decrease in art (even though I desperately want to draw more), this is why I put billing on pause as I needed to see how this situation would unfold.
I work so many hours away from home that I can't lie, I've cried multiple times this month over how I can't do more art. I've cried worrying about how you all feel because your kindness has always been appreciated, you all were giving your hard earned precious money to me so that I could continue to work hard on art to give to you all, and I hate that I couldn't continue on as a full-time artist.

That being said I completely understand if after reading this you no longer wish to support me, or you want to drop down to the cheaper tiers I have, I will still try my best to give as much art as I can and a majority of it will always still stay as Patreon exclusives, however it will be a lot slower and not at the frequency when I had being an artist my full-time work.
I'm sure some may be wondering why I'm still keeping a patreon despite working 30hrs a week, and the simple matter is; the new job is very unstable and at any moment they can fire me. And despite everything I still want to become a full-time artist again somehow and someday.

But for now, this is the situation, it may change and I will always endeavor to update you all if it does. But for now, this is how it is and I will always, always try my best to give as much art as I can to you all, because I love this community and I love doing art 💖

Thank you everyone and I hope you've had a lovely Pride month! Onwards to July!
