Home – DNA

Hey guys! Been a bit since I last wrote a news post. First things first; the About page is finally up and ready to go! I talk a little bit about the comic and how it's made, and there are a whole bunch of character profiles to look at of everybody who's appeared in DNA thus far as well! Go take a look at that here!

Secondly: My day job.

As you may (or may not) know, I also draw another comic professionally. This one's not a webcomic and I had no hand in the writing whatsoever; it's a physical, for-sale-in-an-actual-comic-book-shop kind of book. I was hired to do four issues of this other title, and I'm going to have number four finished within these next two months. As soon as that's done and I get paid, that's it, I'm done working for that company, and I'm jobless. This is just how freelancing works.

That, of course, brings me to Patreon.

Storytelling is my passion, and what I feel I'm best at. DNA in particular I've been building and rebuilding for the last 10 years or so, trying to make something as sincere and as good as I'm capable of. Pouring myself into this comic has quite literally saved my life a couple times, and I'm in a position now where I can actually work on it some and throw it out into the world, hopefully to do some good for someone else out there who feels broken, alone, and lost.

I want creating DNA (and, eventually, other comics!) to be my job, but the problem is, I can't do that if I'm not being paid like that's what it is. I don't have time for that; I have three cats, a dog, and a spouse to feed (and they all eat a lot.) Not to mention, like everybody else my age who went to college, I've got a good chunk of student loan debt that's not going to just go away.

If you enjoy this comic and want it to update more often (up to 8 times per month is what I want!), pledging to Patreon is the only way to make that happen. Everybody tells me that it's more than worth it, and with more money coming in, I'm only going to do more stuff for you guys to look at, like speedpaint videos! And other cool things, like hiring guest artists, and going to conventions! Heck, I want my own website; I've outgrown Smackjeeves. Some of the workarounds I have to do to make my website work are downright silly (I needed to edit this blog post down quite a bit since it broke my homepage due to being too long.)

I can only make these things happen if you guys help me out, so please become a patron. You will literally be changing my life, and it will not be money wasted. I have a lot of things I want to do, and with you guys backing me, I'll be able to do them.

Thank you for your time!
