Happy Patron Day

Today is patron appreciation day! Such excite.

I don’t know what else to say except I am grateful for each of you and I wish I had big surprises for all.

I’m switching to an Etsy store from Big Cartel. They seem to be a bit more tailored to my use, and I’m excited to get my designs on shorts, mugs, stickers, prints... I’ve seen the stickers and they are die-cut and high quality at a low price for on-demand. I’m especially excited for those.

I’m also planning another push to get more patrons... tattooing for whatever reason just isn’t paying my bills and I haven’t had much luck trying to grow that business lately. Comics doesn’t pay a fraction of what tattooing does, but I have a bigger name in that world. It seems worth pushing to grow that. I’ve tried soft pushes in the past to weak results, so expect a more aggressive one this time. My apologies in advance.

I would rather do both, but I’m finding part time tattooists aren’t really respected by their peers. I didn’t care much before but it’s become an issue since I’ve had other artists come work in my shop. And if I had to chose one over the other it would definitely be comics.

Tying thos all together though: all of the tattoo flash I’ve been doing will make great stickers and sucj in my new Etsy store 😆
