IMPORTANT TIER UPDATE! (Please Read)

Aww Sam! I love all your input and huge comments so much! Thank you for all the encouragement, and I was reading all the suggestions and love the idea of live Q&A sessions! Not so much pressure with editing my face, but I'd still have a more personal connection with all of you, so I'm excited to set that up! I'm glad that there's a positive response to the sticker packs, and also themes that you guys can vote on sounds like a good challenge for me! I'd love to have more interactive content and for you all to be able to give me more feedback, and it's something I didn't do super well this first year on Patreon, but hopefully something we'll integrate in 2019! Ahhh I'm excited!

Yeah! Definitely something I'll be doing! I didn't think of it before, but I'll start setting up for that. :)

I'll probably add the live Q&A! And the $5 tier should have new and good rewards, so don't worry about not getting the goods!

Thank you so much Sharon! That's so sweet and encouraging! Your support really does mean loads to me, and I'm very grateful for the opportunity to do Patreon! Hopefully you'll like the rewards I'll be giving out in the future!

That's such a good idea! I'll definitely be doing that!!!

Aww thank you so much! That's super encouraging, and I'm very happy to have you here!

Yay! I'll still be doing the postcards, but I'm glad you like both ideas!

Dang, Sam. Back again with another wall of text. >.> I'm not quite sure what to add in the video area specifically but I did really enjoy the Q&A last time. I don't think it's necessary to do it every time either. No need to stress yourself being in front of a camera that much. It's really nice and personal and thing to include that really connects us to you. I still love your videos of your art process. I'm sure everyone else does too. So I don't think you need to fully replace them, changing it up may help ease the load for you too. I feel the Q&A will make it a bit easier to catch up if you're having trouble coming up with an art piece or editing another is taking a while. Not saying editing Q&A is easier. Alternating between talking vs. process, etc can potentally help and it can be something fresh to ease the load a bit. I'm not quite sure what other personal videos could entail at the moment though. I'm a lil' braindead from schoolwork so ideas are escaping me, haha. Colouring pages could be changed but I'm not quite sure what to, but as said by others, the sticker packs sound adorable and I love the idea too! An idea for sticker packs and stuff is maybe you can choose a theme or have us vote for a certain monthly theme for the sticker packs for the next month. Everything you create doesn't have to stick to that theme either. Just one thing. If restrictions/'prompts' are something that work for you. They also don't have to be specific to the time of year either (e.g. Valentine's, Halloween, etc). Themes related to your interests, inspiration, art style, etc. work just as well To conclude, kind of tying into the Q&A, we all really like how genuine you are with your content and art and basically everything you really show us. Personally, to me that's a big thing the art community needs and makes you stand out a lot to. Your online presence in general feels very genuine and kind and stuff like the monthly updates and perhaps more Q&A/personal videos can really add to that connection.

Would you be open to including access to a live Q&A as a reward?

The stickers and the personal videos sound really good ^^ Although everything you mentioned would be cool. I would just go with whatever you would like to do most <3

Stickers sound really nice, and personal/talking videos definitely seem worth a try :) A Q&A session like Lucas suggested might be cool. But I have no idea why I'm adding my two cents because I am but a simple man, capable of giving only $5 a month because of the empty space where my job should be. Or are you changing the $5 tier as well? I suppose I haven't been using my "ability to influence what subjects you sketch," but I'm content.

I’m so new I haven’t received anything yet, but I would love stickers, prints and postcards and the best is seeing your sketchbook and full videos of you creating your watercolor , oil, etc etc pieces!!!!! I’m so excited to be your patron:)!!! It means a lot to me to support your art and help you keep doing this amazing art that is a gift from God!!!! Hugs and honestly my desire is to support you doing art that inspires you and makes you excited about your art and processes!!!! Seek God and find out what He wants you to do and that will be the best!! You have my support Sara!!! Hugs! You are awesome!!!!!!

I think live q & a sessions would be super cool to see if you have the time, monthly stickers would be awesome too!

I just became a patreon lately so I haven't been enjoying the postcard or the mini prints. Yet! :) But the sticker pack sounds lovely! Ah, who am I kidding, all of them, sticker pack, print pack, postcard pack sounds lovely! =^^=

I'd love a monthly sticker pack! That would be awesome. Although I love getting your monthly postcards. I hang them up on the back of my door <3
