General updates in order of when they popped into my brain:
Great news! The Society of Illustrators accepted me as a full member! Go to pittsburghillustrators.org to see where my portfolio will be posted and check out some >amazing< local talent.
Patreon update: I'm shooting my video (hopefully) this weekend while I'm in DC for The National Book Festival. Patreon is like a Kickstarter crowd funding thing but instead of a one time donation it's a regular pledge, (I'm setting my scale from $1 to $500 per month). Patrons recieve rewards from shout outs on the podcast, to a monthly care package cool stuff I print pictures on. Be on the look out for the patreon launch later in September. Note: This isn't taking the place of just sending money through the website. If people want to do that they can—this just creates a more sustainable environment for me to create in. This is also not a fee for listening to the podcast. It is a way of trying to make my art practice as a while more sustainable.
Recently I talked about writing down and keeping track of how I use my time and it has been a real game changer! Since keeping a simple list of what I'm doing each day has allowed me to better prioritize things and stress a lot less—focusing on the task at hand.
Speaking of which, I've been doing A LOT OF ILLUSTRATIONS and it's pretty fucking wonderful. (Most of my free time is spent drawing and that's what I really love and all I really want to be doing you guys!) It's not just straight forward commisions (that I enjoy doing very much) either. Friends and past guests of the AP Collection, IDK Magazine had me illustrate their whole issue and >>it got a little conceptual<<. It's one of the few times I am reminded that my expensive education might have been worth it after all.
If you want me to make something for you hit me up! theapcollection@gmail.com
Paid promotional podcasting is already off to a great start! The Greater Pittsburgh Art's Council has me coming to cover an event next week so be on the look out for that. (Rate: $25 an hour with a minimum of a 2 hour commitment.)
With all this change I haven't updated the site—it's coming. The winter will bring new things for your eye balls at theapcollection.com. In the meantime, ask questions and keep in touch!
