Earlier in December I sent a distress beacon here on my journal, asking for monetary help and support on patreon. Both friends and unknown strangers came to my aid and I couldn't be happier. Though the money donated and those who became my patreons didn't make me rich, they provided me with what I desired the most for that month of Holidays and also my birthday: Peace of mind.
Though I didn't manage to treat myself to anything spectacular for my birthday, with that money and some jobs that showed up I manage to pay all of the bills and manage to stay just above the line in the bank so I wasn't in the red with The System, nor was I in need of asking for money from my family (catholics can get kinda controlling when they managed to get an advantage over you...).
Instead of being a depressed butt locked in my bedroom all month, not only I managed to work with 3D and draw/study a lot, but I also kept myself busy with my old family house. I helped clean it, paint part of it and prepare it for the family visiting during Christmas! That kept me away from producing even more on 3D and digital art, but it was invigorating and heart warming.
I can barely find the words to say how thankful and honoured I am with this. You people saved my sorry ass from deep trouble, which allowed me to kick back and relax during my Birthday and Christmas. That piece of mind you people got me? Priceless! I managed to start this new year with renewed energies and I intend to make the most of it. Hopefully this means lots of porn for you!
Now, how will I pay the incoming bills for the month of January? I have no idea, but I'll figure something out! I have until the 15th to find a solution and I'm searching high and low for more work or a regular job, I'm also counting with more people being interested in my Patreon. It's just 5 bucks! You might notice how good your heart and mind feel, when you know that just a few dollars from you means someone's next dinner!
Hopefully my own line of work and patreon/donations will suffice, because another kind of job, though welcomed to pay the bills and put food on the table, would keep me from drawing and modeling a lot. When you guys lend a hand, then I can be more available to get better and produce more for your entertainment! And we all want that~
I can't just beg for money from you every month, though. I won't abuse your generosity and, once more, thanks a bunch for your help, you people saved me! I won't say a donation or joining my patreon are welcomed any time of the year, because you already knew that!
I hope all of you had a great time during Christmas and the new year's eve. I am wishing with all my heart that this new decade brings us a new kind of world, less aggressive and with more liberties and freedom. Let this be the very start of something that only gets greater and greater!
If you know that money is not the only thing that may help, then watch my art, favourite things and show something to your friends! Thank you very much for your time, friends~
