There are only a few hours left, and while sipping on my drink, and think about this year, i can´t be happier, from my sight as an artist and painter. The decision to share my works and experience in videoformat on patreon was the right one. It is definitly more timeconsuming than i have thought. But its not only time, its the pressure of creativity. To make some extra thoughts, go some extra steps, to think different and try a lot of crazy stuff, which nobody show me before. You see most of the results and efforts of 2019 in that collage. With your amazing support, i can at least make it palatable to my wife and my son, that i need to "work" after my work. I have a fulltime job as a dental technician with minimum 45 hours per week. And when you do the meth...ehm i mean math, you will see that a fulltime patreon is not possible at the current status.
Is my patreon worth the efforts? When i have started in march, my own deadline, to ask this question was after 1 year. But i can already say, yes it is! And its growing from month to month, of course with fluctuation. I have invested in some expensive gear, most things staying behind the scenes, that should make my life easier to produce higher quality videos for you more efficiently. This month i was struggling with these technical new items, to get them running as i wanted. What i want to tell you is, im pushing forward, always improving, always try to do better. And i hope you can see it, and i really hope it helps you to improve your own skills, and takes away barriers on your own way. This was my intention in my first NMM class in october this year. It was a massive experience for me, i have never ever sit on the chair in front of a class. But the participants where the best i could imagine for the first time. They improved a lot since that day, i see it when they share their works on social media. So i will definitly realize more courses in 2020, because the demand here in germany is high. And i see the progress of some of you guys, and it makes me proud, especially when i see the influence by the videos or my emails.
So long story short. I cant be happier, and your support makes it possible. I wish you a healthy and happy new year. Let´s rock 2020 guys!
Cheers Tamer
