Can I use your art for my avatars/ pfps/banners?
- Go for it! Credit is appreciated when possible, but I don’t mind people using my art in icons. It’s super flattering! I only ask that you don’t profit off of direct rips of my stuff (example, just saving a file and going to redbubble and yelling “BEHOLD” to the world as you gesture at a low quality crunchy .jpg).
How can I support your work?
- Sharing it is really awesome and honestly just seeing people being vocal about enjoying it is really wonderful. Only if you can afford to and really want, I do have places to buy art under my shop tab and some of my art can be bought at physical locations in Seattle, WA. You can buy unique merch directly through my Etsy and Storenvy. I also use some print on demand sites. My storenvy has a full section of Blood Sugar merch as well. I additionally have a ko-fi and a patreon that acts as a sort of idle tip jar. Money made from my patreon and Blood Sugar merch sales directly goes to paying translators, editors, and sensitivity readers.
I made art based on one of your comics. Would you like to SEE? 👀
- PLEASE YES I WILL TREASURE IT!! I will print it out and crumple it into a little ball and eat it to power me. (jk but I probably WILL print it and put it up in my office and save to my PC because any and all fan content is always appreciated!!) If you link me any fanart in the submission form I would love to feature it in my comics!!
I am an indie artist and I do artist alley/have a redbubble/online shop and like your comics. Is it okay if I make and sell fan merch?
- Go for it!! I paid my bills for a long time making fan merch and I feel it’s only fair to pay it forward and let others do the same with my comics if they like them enough. If you do make fan merch please show me! I LOVE to buy fan merch people have made and support them back! Go nuts and have fun with any fanart or content. It is ALWAYS flattering to me and everything made is deeply appreciated. <3
I too want a comic website. How did you make yours?
- I commissioned my friend Kiriska who has excellent and affordable website building services that are perfect for indie artists.
How often are you sleepy?
- I am ALWAYS sleepy, friend.
I have another question I don’t see here!
- That’s totally okay! Shoot me an email and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can!:^)
