I need your help.

First off, I want to tell you how important you all are to me, and how grateful I am for your support. It means so much to be able to do what I love and be supported by fans and fellow artists.

Like everyone else that's still alive, I am getting older. I no longer have the same levels of time and energy I once possessed.

With this in mind, I have been thinking about how I can make the most of the time and energy I have, while making a living as an artist. I realized how much I put out on Patreon (eight comic pages and multiple pics for Patrons each month), and I need to find a better balance between my artistic output and my income. I want to stress how grateful I am for all of the support I am getting from you as my Patrons. At the same time, I know I have to be realistic about how much art I can create and how much money I can bring in from my art.

I don't want to stop doing my comic. It's been almost nine years at this point, but at the same time, I am struggling with how much I can do and what would be appreciated by you as the folks who support me. I do not know what the answer is.

So, I want and need to hear from you all. I want your help so we can find a balance that allows me to work at a pace and level that I can manage while still putting out an amount of artwork that is appreciated by you as Patrons.
