I just posted a new edition of my Patreon Creator Journal. In which I talk about the systems I designed for better podcast recording, insights from my chat with Eisner winners, and my latest comic pitching adventures. These are a fun experiment that I've been doing recently. I love the number of different ways Patreon provides to keep in touch with your patrons. If you'd like to check it out, you can join at any level.
