What is Patreon?

Patreon is a bit like crowd funding for artists and creators. There are artists, musicians, writers, bloggers, vloggers and comic creators with accounts on Patreon. Patrons donate small (or large) amounts of money to the creators to help fund their particular endeavours. Basically, Patreon is a way for people to financially support artists, writers and anyone else so that creative people aren’t dependent on second jobs or big businesses for their wages.

Why are you on Patreon?

We love making comics and we want to make more, but we can only do that with the help of those who read our comics. Being a comic creator is hard, most of us have full time jobs and create in our ‘spare’ time. Those of us who want to write and publish comics have to employ artists and work hard to fund them, often doing work we wouldn’t necessarily choose to do. All of our ‘spare’ money goes towards creating our comics and our artists work hard for us for less than they are worth. We’d like it if our Patreon account funded our comics, so that we could create even more.

What do you use the money for?

Currently our Patreon campaign is funding some of the pages of Granted. If our Patreon campaign generated more money, we would hope to reach some of our other goals, such as:

•Pay our artists a higher page rate
•Publish our comics twice a week
•Create more comics
•Publish on Kindle and Nook
•Print a trade paperback of our comic series

How can I help?

There are different tiers of pledges for which you get a variety of rewards, such as bonus content, early access, stories, NSFW pin ups and portraits of the characters, as well as articles about creating comics. You can pledge as little as $1 a month and cancel whenever you want to – there’s really no obligation to pledge more or to keep pledging long term. We have different ‘Reward’ tiers and everyone who pledges gets early access to all our comics.
