Hey Patrons,

I wanted to take a second to make a clarification, since I've changed the description of how often I charge patrons.

Firstly, I'm not changing the way it works, I'm just changing the description for clarity. The old description read "per 2 weeks", which wasn't completely accurate. I've always charged every per every completed painting. So months with 2 paintings had 2 charges and months with 1 painting had 1 charge (Patreon is always on a monthly cycle). I was always worried that you might think you'd be charge for a 2 week span where I didn't deliver anything, but that's never happened and it won't happen.

I've changed the description to "per painting (~2 / month)", because I'm only charging for the ones I complete, which is about 2 per month. There is a chance I will at some point (maybe this month), I'll complete 3 paintings. If that were to happen, I would charge 3 times. But it won't ever be more than 3 and will likely be closer to 1 or 2.

Whew, sorry that's so complicated. This platform is a little weird.Speaking of platform weirdness. The method I have of delivering rewards is both work intensive for me and inconvenient for you. If you have seen other models for delivering rewards around Patreon, please point me towards them so I can do a better job sending you rewards. I'm doing some research to improve this campaign moving forwards but I want to make sure that any changes I make positively impact you. Please feel free to be vocal, I love vocal patrons/customers (I'm looking at you Jim).Thanks for reading this update and I look forward to hearing from you!-Pete

During my time supporting different artists on Patreon, I have tried receiving rewards in different ways. Usually I get a link, where I can download the paintings for that month. Like Mediafire or Dropbox. I'd get a link like "mediafire.com/download/......." and then I can just download the ZIP-files. I don't know how that works on the artists end, though. A couple of the artists I have supported have used Dropbox, which sounds like a great way if you're only releasing one or two images each month. I'm a pretty new follower of yours, so I actually don't know which method you are using. I hope this helps if only a tiny bit.

Yeah, it does actually. I've been relying on attaching zip files to posts here on Patreon.

While not strictly patreon related, I'm hoping things get less hectic so you can resume your twitch stream at some point. Even if it is just once a week, or sporadic, it's really enjoyable to get the inside look on some on your pieces. I'm enjoying the Kickstarter posts too for the same reason.

Yeah, I've thought about it. I'll definitely be streaming a few times during the campaign.
