Goal changes, plus some news! (Patreon)

Do you know how awesome you are? I hope you do. 

I've made a couple changes to my Patreon goals. Having your support has been AMAZING so far. It's helping me live. Seriously. With these new goals I'm hoping to gain some more patrons, and a huge way all of you can help is by sharing! Tell your friends and family about The Weight, tell them that you support me on Patreon. Don't worry, comics are cool now, they won't judge. 

The new milestones I've set are:

$500: When I reach this amount, I will create a super cool patch (see image)!! All Patrons, regardless of their pledge amount, will get a free one, as a special thank you gift. Patches are in right now. Get on it!

$800: When I reach this amount, I will take a 3 day trip to Rome, NY and the surrounding area where my Grandpa Jack grew up. I'll take pictures, visit the Rome Historical Society, and hopefully find the site of his grandparents' farmhouse in Williamstown. Then I'll take my drawings, journal entries, and photos from the trip and compile them into a zine. Each Patron will get a copy. 

Thank you guys so much again. I feel like I can't thank you enough. 

OH and my announcement!!!

Alternative Comics is publishing my book, Lou!! It's a young adult graphic novel that was originally serialized by Oily Comics. It's been a few years in the making and I'm extremely excited about it!!! I'm attaching the cover, which I designed and I'm very proud of. My first book!!!

thank you,
