A New Tier: The Bookkeeper Tier (Patreon)

Hey, friends! Big news for today, I'm launching a new tier at $15, The Bookkeeper tier.

Help create the next book. Earn your copy.

You may or may not know, I sell physical art books called "Dynamic Figure Drawing." As of now there are 2 volumes available. Those two books are collections of most of the work I'd drawn in the years preceding their release, but the thing with those books is that most of the drawings are action poses, and completely random ones at that. Book one sold out, and I still have many copies of book 2.

I got to thinking very carefully over the last month, along with the relaunch of my Patreon page's identity, I felt I had an opportunity to expand that vigor over into my books. I greatly enjoy making books, it's awesome to see your own artwork in a real, physical collection.

You guys have shown me so much support over just this past month here on Patreon, and I want to be able to give back to you all in some way for your support in a real, tangible way.

Thus, the Bookkeeper tier.

In this tier, your support will help me in creating a Patreon Exclusive edition of my next reference book. A hardcover, 100 page collection of Patreon exlcusive artwork compiled in one real product, with a special page dedicated to recognizing those of you who helped me create the book by supporting me at this tier. 🙏

To be perfectly clear, your support at any tier is enough for me. It's truly insane to me still that so many of you have chosen to spend your hard earned money on my artwork, and for that I'm literally eternally grateful, and I don't take it for granted. Trussssst me. 😂

This tier is for those of you who have the means (of course) and for those of you who feel especially generous. A super supporter in every sense.

So what's new with the next book?

For one, The Patreon edition will be a hardcover as opposed to a paperback. It will have a neat bookmark sash, and possibly a lil book jacket (should you guys vote yes on that lol)!

And finally, numbered pages and a table of contents will make it's introduction.

My previous books are just pages of random drawings throughout. A sword pose here, maybe a gun pose way over there. This time around, thanks to my new schedule, I'll be able to label sections of the book in a table of contents for specific pose references for each section making the book easier to navigate and a bit more approachable.

And as I've said previously, I want to dedicate a page to those who support me on this tier to recognize your generosity, and to create a snapshot of community in a real way. 🙏

This is quite an endeavor, so of course there are logistics we need to cover.

As you can imagine, in order to create an art book one must first create the art. 😂

The last couple of books were collections of years of work. Luckily, I'm currently in the process of creating lots of art every month, but it is still a time commitment. It is, after all, a one-man show here. At 64 drawings a month minimum, it will take me approximately 6 months to create enough artwork to fill a 100 page book.

So this is how this tier will function and its benefits:

Your hardcover book is an earned Bookkeeper reward, not a one-time purchase.

To earn your physical copy, you must maintain an active Bookkeeper membership and make 6 consecutive monthly payments.

Once you've completed your 6th payment, you've officially earned your copy even if the book itself is still in production.

If you cancel, downgrade, or otherwise leave the Bookkeeper tier before completing the 6-month requirement, your progress toward the physical book resets if you decide to rejoin later.

Once you've earned your book, you don't need to remain a Bookkeeper to receive it.

• Digital copies of my existing books and new books going forward.

• Help vote on themes and artwork

• Behind-the-scenes book development

• Bookkeeper-only recognition

• One physical hardcover Patreon edition of the book after 6 consecutive monthly payments

And there you have it! This new tier will be live as of this post, and I greatly, sincerely, astronomically, appreciate your continued support in my journey as an artist. 🙏 I look forward to giving it back to you.

It's back to work for me, see you on Wednesday and happy Sunday!
