2021 plans and rewards update

Added 2020-12-11 22:40:52 +0000 UTC

Happy Friday patrons!

While 2020 was a dumpster fire of a year in so many ways, it was at least a great one for me creatively. I released two albums, an E.P., and two documentaries, among other creative experiments. Your direct support was vital in sustaining my work this year, and it will be even more so in 2021. Here’s what to expect:

Life Beyond III will be the most ambitious chapter yet and will be my main creative focus of the year. But I am also planning a few shorter-form videos, including one that will be voted on by YOU. More on that soon. Last but not least, my wife and I are expecting our second kid in March (!). So expect some radio silence from me in the spring.

To manage all these heavily time-consuming projects, I am restructuring the rewards for patrons. Most notably, I am ending the exclusive video voting system after the next voting round, to streamline my work schedule and allow me to plan out my videos more carefully. Also, behind-the-scenes videos are moving to the $10+ tiers and I am simplifying merch rewards to a poster at the $50+ tiers (previously I was losing money on some tiers). Here's an overview of the new tiers:

$2: First looks, exclusive previews, music single downloads, and ad-free viewing.
$5: Hi-res image downloads and unreleased music (+ all above)
$10: Full album downloads, credit in description, and behind-the-scenes videos (+ all above)
$25: Hi-res video downloads and signed card (+ all above)
$50: Special poster, prominent credit & link in video description (+ all above)
$100: One-on-one hangout session (+ all above)
$500: On-screen credit, custom 30 second remix (+ all above)

Feel free to adjust your pledges to account for these changes. And please reach out with any questions or concerns regarding this new reward structure.

Next week I will present options to vote on my next patron-decided video topic. Stay tuned!

Peace and love,
