January Peaches and things
Added 2025-01-05 19:00:11 +0000 UTCHappy Sunday, everyone! Here's a little collection of doodles I've been putting together. I gave myself a new January palette and I also changed up the format. I'm still very inspired by the beautiful format of Soreyu's artwork. All those lovely graphic elements, typography, decorative backgrounds and frames-- ahhh it's sooo good!
Since one of my goals for 2025 is to make it easier to add things to the shopify store, especially physical stuff, I'd like to get into the habit of drawing in a page format so that I could easily export the pages, plug them into indesign and have a cute little zine ready to print and ship! 😤
I've also been thinking of inexpensive ways I could put more things in your mailboxes mor easily, I've seen other people format their patreon around having print or sticker clubs where you get something in the mail every month.
It's something I'd have to grow into and I think the baby step version of it would be making a zine of the month's drawings that could be mailed in a simple envelope with a forever stamp instead of more expensive postage on rigid mailers which I use with the comics to make sure they don't arrive bent.
I'm curious to know what you think of the idea of a printed newsletter!
Have you had good or bad experiences with print club style patreons? Was there anything that frustrated you about it?

2025-01-13 02:38:59 +0000 UTCI've learned this first hand several times over, it's why it's taken so long for me to get my physical store up and going again 😩 My thinking about a newsletter-ish thing was that it could be slightly easier if everyone gets the same thing, with the same postage, in the same size envelope and only the mailing addresses are different. It's having to double check what you're packing in each envelope that makes it so difficult! 🥵

2025-01-13 02:36:32 +0000 UTCThank you for supporting the print media so much, Donnovan! 💖 I'm pretty sure I've seen your name many timeson the mailing labels as I sent them out 😁 A limited membership IS a very good idea. Depending on how patreon does physical media fulfillment and label printing it might just make more sense to do it through shopify or something. I appreciate your input on this!! 💖

2025-01-13 02:36:22 +0000 UTCYes, I think it would have to be an upper tier since it'd require a fair amount of work to get them shipped out. Maybe it would just be once a quarter or something, so I'm not overwhelming people with mail hehe

2025-01-13 02:34:40 +0000 UTCThat's really nice to know! My challenge is usually that it is so expensive for both me and the recipient to get prints so I hope I could print/mail them in an inexpensive way. I always feel really bad when I send physical comics to people and they arrive bent or damaged but if these are just kinda indie zines, maybe we can forgive the postal service 🙄 Or just mail another one because they're not THAT expensive.

2025-01-13 02:30:30 +0000 UTCThank you Saga! I think a zine I would be able to handle on my home printer, thankfully, especially if I keep it at a manageable size and a small-ish print run :)

2025-01-09 19:50:48 +0000 UTCPhysical shipping is a nightmare, so many people will be asking all the time where their stuff is. Love the idea as a patron, that’d be sick, but as an artist it’s a huge headache

2025-01-06 17:36:49 +0000 UTCI love the idea of a printed newsletter! I think I've bought all the zines you've made so far, so depending on the price point I'd likely sign up for it. But you might want to do a limited membership until you know how much work will be involved. I'd say the only downside would be if you miss sending them for a month since we're charged on the 1st, that could upset some people. Though, I've never actually supported anyone on Patreon at a level to receive a physical reward, so I don't have any experience with it.

2025-01-06 00:00:55 +0000 UTCI'd love to have printed or physical items as an option. For me personally, I like digital as I don't have to worry about storage or guilt if I need to throw something out. So maybe for an upper tier or something it would be good!

2025-01-05 21:33:20 +0000 UTCI would absolutely adore a printed newsletter and more printed stuff in general. Part of my goal for 2025 is to find more ways to acquire physical art so that'd be a nice addition to it.

2025-01-05 19:16:43 +0000 UTCI'd love to get some printed stuff and have for a while. But I've seen artists having issues getting NSFW stuff printed. I daresay a piece like this one - lovely and beautiful as it is - would fall into that category.
